Gerald McGregor of Birch Island, Whitefish River First Nation was part of the group that traveled to Cyprus last week. Gerald served in the PPCLI in Cyprus in 1984, and later served in the Canadian Airborne Regiment. We took this photo in Nicosia War Cemetery, in the UNFICYP buffer zone, on 10 Nov.
