13 May 2016 – Today Colonel Brit Smith is celebrating his 96th birthday.
He was unable to attend Thursday’s end of the training year event so representatives of the Foundation visited him yesterday morning.
He was presented with special birthday greetings from the Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency David Johnson and from The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie.
Colonel Smith was surprised by the special birthday greetings but also with the piping of Happy Birthday performed by Colonel Mark Hutchings and his son Edward, both pipers with the Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment Pipes and Drums.
