Ashore

THE EDITORS

While on board the USS Nashville during a NATO combined arms manouevre, my battalion, 2RCR, was sitting within the Amtrack assault vehicles waiting to go ashore, and someone started up “Barrett’s Privateers.” Soon 150 Canadian soldiers’ voices were belting out the song. It spooked the U.S. Marines like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
