Note: the use of “rank” within the 78th Frasers is ceremonial, it is only used within Fraser activities and in no way intended to imply actual military rank or equivalency to any Canadian military, police, Coast Guard or other first responder organization. Little bit like a Kentucky Colonel - with a Canadian accent!
