South Alberta Light Horse Regimental Museum Tour

The Regimental Museum is happy to be hosting the Rotary Club for a guided tour of the Regimental Museum.  The Museum illustrates the long history of the South Alberta Light Horse and the units it perpetuates.  Museum Docents will be available for questions.

From 1885 to today a military presence has been a huge part of the development of Medicine Hat as a vibrant community.  The contributions of local citizens serving in the Regiment during times of conflict and emergency are noted through displays and information placards. 

There will be displays relating to various periods of time in the history of the Regiment, including.

-An early pre 1900 display that will tell the story of the earliest military unit in Medicine Hat.

-An accurate depiction of a World War One Trench system. 

- Uniforms worn by soldiers of all eras. 

-Personal stories of men who served overseas and their contributions to the Regiment and the soldiers they served with. 

-The South Alberta Regiment’s Major David Vivian Currie is highlighted as the only Victoria Cross winner from the unit. 

-Medicine Hat’s very own Danny McLeod featured prominently as well.

-You will see radio equipment used by the Regiment as well as see how the Regiment nearly ceased to exist. 

-Service of South Alberta Light Horsemen in United Nations and NATO Missions, including Afghanistan

-There will be a small memorial for local soldier lost in Afghanistan as well as members of the Regiment who served there. 

-Through several emergency events in Medicine Hat the South Alberta Light Horse stepped up to help protect our community.

Additionally, soldiers of the South Alberta Light Horse will be presenting some of the equipment they use and our docents will explain some of the history of Patterson Armoury.

All of this can be seen at the South Alberta Light Horse Regimental Museum on the afternoon of June 8^th.
