Canadian Governor-General John Buchan (Lord Tweedsmuir) and other officials standing at the opening of the Seaforth Armoury on Saturday 29 August 1936. To the right of the photo is Lieutenant Colonel Lough, Commanding Officer of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada Guard dressed in full scarlets and feather bonnet on horseback. Note: This horse and the Adjutant's horse were borrowed from the Vancouver Police Department. The new armoury is in the background. From the Regimental History, page xxi: "[T] he official opening of the new armoury was planned with great care. It was preceded by the trooping of the Colour for His Excellency the Governor General Lord Tweedsmuir. The trooping was performed on the parade square in the presence of a very large gathering. There were four guards, each with a Company Commander and two subalterns, and 50 other ranks in pre-war Review Order. In addition, there was a fifth guard composed of veterans of the Seaforth Association commanded by Captain H. T. Skelly. [Note: The 72nd Cadets also provided a Guard]. These guards were very carefully trained over a long period of time, the R.S.M., Tom Anderson, once more performing a great service. The Commanding Officer, Lt-Col. J. R. S. Lough, was in command with Captain James Creighton as adjutant. These officers were mounted on a pair of matching Bay horses. This was the last time mounted officers appeared on parade in the Regiment. The performance of the guards on this occasion was one of the most impressive in the Regiment's history. The guard provided by the Association was outstanding. Tears rolled down Lady Tweedsmuir's cheeks when she saw and watched that guard. Following the trooping, the unit and guests moved into the armoury where Lord Tweedsmuir in a brief address formally declared the armoury open. This was followed by receptions in the officers', sergeants' and men's messes."
