During his service, Robert was stationed at many bases, including twice over seas – first to France in 1952 and then to Germany in August 1963.

Billy Regan was sixteen years old when he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Regiment and nineteen when he was killed in action in Korea. Like so many of his comrades, he wasn't even old enough to vote or drink legally. But he had "wanderlust," as he would often say, and enlisting was one way to see the world.
