25 years past, September 1993, 2nd Battalion PPCLI was caught in a 14-day Croatian Army offensive. They endured 24 hours of artillery and mortar fire, and aggressively withstood 15 hours of directfire fights against RPGs, 20mm cannon and machine guns. In the end, the soldiers imposed their will on both the Croatian and Serbian armies, created a buffer zone and enforced a ceasefire. For its steadfastness and professionalism under fire, the unit was awarded one of the first Commander-in-Chief Unit Commendations.

In recognition of those who fought in the battle, The Royal Canadian Legion commissioned the production of this commemorative Battle of Medak Pocket pin. The cast metal pin includes hard enamel features and a jeweller’s clasp. LEST WE FORGET
Go to the Cadet Camp Museum"
"If you are interested in local history, stop in at the cadet camp museum. It's small, but so interesting! They have done a great job with their displays, including personal memorabilia that will appeal to people who actually went to camp, and thematic displays that will appeal to history buffs. When we were there they had a display on food rations and one on head gear through the years, as well as the results of an 'archeological dig' that occurred when they updated some of the barracks and discovered several decades' worth of trinkets in the ground below! This is the only cadet museum in Canada and we really enjoyed ourselves."
