Alex Gault (holding Memorial Baton), great nephew of PPCLI founder Hamilton Gault, meets Corporal Brian Poole of 2 PPCLI on the evening of Friday, August 15 in Calgary’s Mewata Armoury after a formal mess dinner upstairs in the officers mess. Cpl Poole is a member of the Memorial Baton Relay (MBR), a team of soldiers transporting a baton containing the names of 1,866 PPCLI members who have fallen in active service to Canada. The MBR team is re-tracing the symbolic route taken by the Originals as they marshaled for service in 1914 on the eve of the First World War. The Memorial Baton departed Edmonton on August 10, 2014, and is being relayed to Ottawa where it will arrive on September 18, 2014. PPCLI photos by Grant Cree.
