I’m making it official—my Spring book tour will be underway as of March 15th, 2012.
The impetus for the trip is provided by Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) who will be observing their annual Moreuil Days on March 20th through the 22nd, at their home in Steele Barracks, Edmonton Garrison. The Straths have observed Moreuil Day since 1927, in honour of the men and horses who took part in the Battle of Moreuil Wood on March 30th, 1918. The festivities will include regimental sports, dinners, and a regimental parade as well as meetings and informal get-togethers.
My dad, who “attended” the inaugural battle at Moreuil, never made it to Moreuil Day. I am very excited at the prospect of attending in his honour, and look forward to sharing the event on my blog.

This is wonderful, Bob, that you will be able to attend. They are lucky to have you in their midst. Great good luck with the tour. Let us know the dates, times and venues of any readings or signings on your tour. I would like to let my friends who read know in time to turn up.
Thanks--that would be great. I'll post the details as soon as they are available.
