My novel "Soldier of the Horse" based on the experiences of Sergeant Thomas Mackay of Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) was published a couple of years ago. On July 30th, just nine days from now, I will be attending a showing of the movie "War Horse" at the Vancouver Public Library at 1:30 pm.
Later that evening at 7:00 pm I'll be presenting in the Library, thanks to the good offices of the VPL and the Royal United Services Institute.
Here is the information from the VPL website:
"Robert W.
Mackay, author of Soldier of the Horse, shares personal photos, memories
and insights into the Canadian Cavalry Brigade of which his father was a
member.
"War
Horse", a movie about the British cavalry in the Great War, has many
powerful images of horses and men in battle. A small but significant part of
the British cavalry was the Canadian Calvary Brigade. Did the movie reflect
reality?
Presented
in partnership with The Royal United Services Institute - Vancouver in
commemoration of Canada's First World War Centenary.

Bob,
I'm impressed. Your dedication to this process seems unlimited. You missed your true calling. You should have been a history teacher. It takes one to know one!
Hi Bob,
You have given two dates for your presentation and the movie War Horse. I think you will want to correct that and put a new announcement on FACEBOOK...
