Worthington Trophy
The Worthington Trophy is a Canadian military award. It was awarded annually to the best reserve armoured unit in the Canadian Land Forces. It is named after Major-General F. F. Worthington, known as ''Fighting Frank'' – "The Father of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps". Of its origins, Sean Maloney stated: ::Another mechanism created to generate closer contact between the regular regiments and the Militia was the Worthington Trophy recce competition. Militia regiments from across the country participated by sending a troop. The winning regiment of the competition then sent that troop to train with a regular regiment's recce squadron. This allowed Militia regiments to gain some expertise with Lynx vehicles and their armament. In later years, the Worthington Trophy winners completed their training on Lynx and were then flown to West Germany to augment 4 CMBG's recce squadron during FALLEX. The competition and award was not given out on a regular annual basis, and there have be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
