Infantry members hone mortar skills at Canadian Forces Base Shilo

It’s not often you see infantry milling about the gunline at Canadian Forces Base Shilo in Manitoba, but that’s exactly what was going on during a three-week mortar detachment member course run in June 2018 by 1st Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (1 RCHA). Second Lieutenant Ryan Bartlette, 3rd Canadian Division Support Group, reports.
