Reservists go north

The Kingston Whig-Standard has an article about local reservists taking part in an exercise in the Arctic. A dozen members of Princess of Wales' Own Regiment were part of a 100-strong army reserve contribution to Operation Nanook.

Unlike most exercises, the lack of roads and uncertain air support meant the reservists in platoons were working autonomously in a way unlike anywhere else in the country, making their way on foot and in small boats and cramped Twin Otters rather than the more familiar heavier equipment.
