00:00The path to peace must be pursued with the same vigor and determination that our forces prepare for combat.
00:10It is only fitting then to rewind the clock, 170 years, when the rifles' antecedents stood alongside our European allies in modern-day Ukraine.
00:23By November 1855, our regiment had distinguished itself at the Alma, Inkerman and Sevastopol, and were anticipating the end of the bloody Crimean campaign.
00:38So let us hope, as our antecedents did then, that our resolve to stand up to tyranny in the same region can again find a resolution to another devastating and brutal war.
