Silver Tankard with one handle. Seaforth crest at top front "Presented to RSM (W.0. 1) Roy Tankard on the occasion of his retirement by the officers the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada 1961" Proof marks on bottom "H BROS S EPNS" (electroplate nickel silver) MADE IN ENGLAND HARD SOLDERED. From the Regimental History (page 462): Mr. Tankard, formerly with the Brigade of Guards and recently retired as the R.S.M. at Sandhurst, served 28 years with the British Army before joining the Seaforths in 1952. He replaced Mr. George MacMahon as Regimental Sergeant-Major in September, 1957. By the mid-1950's there was a large proportion of former British Army officers serving in the regiment, a reflection of the large immigration into Canada from the United Kingdom during the post-war years. They gave a unique flavour to the mess, and their service experience was of great value to the unit. He was the RSM from 1957 to 1961.
