It was an evening of exquisite dining in the formal military tradition with a Salute to the Haggis.</p>\n<p>These battalions have been part of our Canadian fighting forces since their amalgamation in October of 1871. Their service to Queen and country extends from the South African War of 1899 to World Wars I and II and their battles read as a who's who of Canadian history.</p>\n<p>I salute Lieutenant-Colonel Chisholm and the men of these two brave battalions of Nova Scotia Highlanders for keeping pride in their calling and faith in their nation. \"Siol Na Fear Fearail\".</p>",
