Super!! I wish to be part of the RCMP one day and I am doing the best I can to realise my dream.I would like to thank you for this web-site. It's a wonderfull source of information and it is very instructive.I also visited the school web-site.I like the pictures and the site is easy to follow and I enjoy the historic part specially when you treat the first nation with respect and dignity.Just a thing to look for: the translation in french contains some minor errors.Keep going this way because You are doing a very good job and I really hope to see you soon!

I am a collector of coffee mugs, I have over a hundred of them, so I will be going to the Museum shop on line to get a mug with the RCMP logo on it. I was lucky enough to get a Texas Ranger mug just before christmas, so I'll have to contact you to find out how much the shipping costs ETC. will be. I know the guest book is not the place to talk about that but still I'm British!!!! I am also disabled and I cannot walk very well so I spend a lot of time on the internet. Thanks for reading this. Yours Miss S. Wright ENGLAND.

It gave me a new found respect for the RCMP and the hardships that our country went througt to get were we are today. Canada as a country still has a long and hard road ahead but it bring me comfort that the RCMP will be there throughout it all keeping the peace.

I started my basic training in Regina ( February 1951, " C " squad) and graduated in October 1951 at the Ontario training facility. My first assignment was with the Special Branch in Toronto, Ontario. I continue to follow the RCMP's activity and progress....and have very fond memories of my brief stay with the force. The quality and dedication of the members I met in training ,and later in the field, is unforgetable and an experience for a lifetime.

For your giftshop I would like to suggest a little more in descriptions of books and dimensions of figures and statues. That might help increase sales volume.How come no one has sculpted a F.Remington sized bronze of a Ride memebr on horseback in a galloping position for us "Boomer's" to collect? I've searched al over. Keep up the good work ,I know behind it all are retired memebers and I salute you!

I WAS HOPING FOR A VIDEO TAPE OR AN EXTENSIVE POSTCARD SELECTION BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE OUR CAMERA WITH US. THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING THE RIDE TO VISIT THE UNITED STATES. IT WAS A THRILL FOR ME AND HUSBAND, AND FOR EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED THE SHOW I'M SURE. THANKS AGAIN AND CONTINUED SUCCESS TO THE RIDE. SANDRA L.

Is there an archives that one can contact. I am an amateur genealogist and I am looking for information regarding my uncle, Francis Cavanagh. Thank you for any assistance Maureen Corkal <maureencorkal@shaw.ca> Winnipeg, MB Canada - Wednesday, July 03, 2002 at 08:04:26 (CST) Dear Sirs! Congratulations to your RMCP online museum! I found it, while I`m looking out for a special photo of a RCMP man, I can use for an advertisment in Germany. As a business Start-UP I like to sell a Canadian product (dehumidefier) in Germany and, because we like Canada as whole family, we like to make also Canada and RCMP public. Both stands in Germany for a great country/nation of freedom and security. Are you able to give me a notice, where I can find some photos of the red dressed RCMP`s and where from I can get the permission for using it? My person: I´m living with my family in northern Germany, 100 kilometers behind Hamburg, in KIEL. Thank you very much for information! GBY Daniel E. Skopnik Daniel E.

However, I wish to have instructions or an easy way put in to find out about what forts and posts the NWMP developed. Perhaps a whole section with pictures and a bit of background would do goos. Thank you for your time. I will keep visiting for your great information on the NWMP.Thanx!!!

I've just completed my first visit to your website. I read every section of the history of the RCMP with great interest. For years the legends surrounding the Force have intrigued me, and now I find myself wishing to add to the reams of written accounts. In my case, I would fictionalize the characters and tell a story of the early years, factually accurate but also compelling and dramatic. The raw material is all there. I intend to return to the website until I have read it all, and then will contact the Museum with specific questions and for further direction. I especially would like to read the actual Acts of Parliament, the original Recruitment notices, and if possible, actual reports from 1880-1900. But I am getting ahead of myself. I appreciate the work that has gone into this site, and that most if not all has been done by volunteers. You can be sure I will posting comments as I go further into my research. Finally, my husband's brother is a retired RCMP veteran, and we never tire of hearing his "War Stories" dating back, for him, to the late 1950's. We are very proud of our RCMP. Thank you, all.

Although quite complete and very useful, it lacks in quality. I would like to bring to your attention the French version of this site. I am a university student earning a bachelor's degree in French professional Writing with a minor in translation from English to French. I found the translation posted on this site to be extremely pitiful and not to mention shameful. As a Federal organizaton in a BILINGUAL Country, I urge you to solve this very serious problem. Many translators would be more than willing to offer their (much needed) help, that is, of course, if the RCMP is ready to make the sacrifice and pay a competent person to do the job. Another comment comes to mind...Why is it impossible to write our comments in French? Thank you for your time amd I do hope this message will not be ignored. Mari Julie Tremblay <jolie_tremblay@hotmail.com> Sherbrooke, Qc Canada - Tuesday, March 19, 2002 at 16:22:57 (CST) I was recently at the museum in Regina when my brother was graduating from the RCMP (Troop 11) You have a lot of neat memorabilia.

Russell Bursey <bursey@telusplanet.net> Edmonton, AB Canada - Tuesday, March 05, 2002 at 09:07:35 (CST) Dear sirs: I have been researching for several years now the General Custer pocketwatch that Sir Cecil Denny of the RCMP collected from sitting Bull back in the 1880's. I have read his books and find nothing in regards to the discription of this watch. Do you know of any archive material that Sir Cecil may have had that might describe the watch? In his books he states that he sent the watch to Libbie Custer. Would there be a copy of this letter anywhere? Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Can you please help in providing the service record of George Carter who was serving in the RCMP in late 1930's early 1940's. He had emigrated from England, after service in the Army during WW1. I believe he served in the Ontario area in the RCMP. In April 1943 he was in military or possibly RCMP uniform uniform at a place called Valcartier. Sorry I have no date or place of birth. He was married and had one son who was killed whilst serving in the RCAF9but attached to the RAAf) in 1943. Any information you can provide will be gratefully received. Many thanks B Carter <Bcart@tesco.net> U.K. - Friday, January 04, 2002 at 18:03:38 (CST) |
