     November speaker. As part of Remembrance Week, Beechwood's Nick McCarthy spoke to us about the 150 year history of the Governor General's Foot Guard. Although they are now most known for their Ceremonial duties in Changing the Guard on Parliament Hill and Rideau Hall, Nick outlined their history starting with the first casualties at the Battle of Cutknife Hill in 1895. From there it was the Boer War, WW I and WW II and Afghanistan. He also outlined some of the key personalities over the years and the Regiment's direct ties to the National Military Cemetery at Beechwood.
