military

designer: Rudy Kovach, 1975
The Canadian Legion was started in 1925 (it became 'Royal' in 1960) to "safeguard veterans and their dependents, to protect the families of the fallen, and to make sure the wartime sacrifices would be remembered".

Before becoming a veteran, one must get through the Military College (it became 'Royal' in 1878)
designed by Will Davies, 1976
The stamp on the left shows the Colour Party in front of the Memorial Arch and the stamp on the right has a Wing Parade in front of the Mackenzie Building which was the first purpose built building for the college (named for the Prime Minister at the time Alexander Mackenzie).
