Guard of Honour for HRH Princess Margaret at Vancouver Airport, 16 July 1958
Guard of Honour for HRH Princess Margaret, 16 July 1958 at the Vancouver Airport. NOTE: In the title could be "Field of Honour". NOTE: The two attached photos may or may not be the correct ones.
Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret inspected the 100-man Royal Guard when she
visited Vancouver in July, 1958. Under R.S.M. Tankard's direction their drill was brought up to such a high standard that many onlookers thought the Guard, smartly turned out in their new green tunics, was composed of veterans (although almost half of them were student recruits).
