8th Hussar Curling Bonspiel

Thanks to Whitey (Burton) White, Nick (Bill) Nickson and Con (Connell ) Keith, the local Hussars had a great day of curling at the Sussex Golf and Curling Club on Sat 27 Feb 16. Ten teams with former members from as far away as NS attended and some nifty prizes were handed out. This event has been run locally for the last few years and it is well worth attending.

To close out the day, a great meal was prepared thanks to Denise and Don Korth, and it included BBQ steak, baked potatoes, salad and all the fixings. And yes the bar was open so a good time was had by all.

Welcome to the 8th Hussars Museum
The 8th Hussars Museum is located in the historic Train Station in Sussex, NB. The building has been restored to its original grandeur and is situated in the hub of the Town of Sussex. The Victorian-era structure houses many of the important artifacts of the museum and is accessible to the general public. Since the later part of the 19th century, countless Hussars arrived by rail to train at Camp Sussex and later to serve in the South African War, WWI and WWII.

The collection includes many items representing the life of the Regiment with original uniforms dating back to 1881, original Routine Orders dating back to 1893, memorabilia from members who represented the Regiment at Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, WWI, WWII, UN/NATO peacekeeping tours as well as the Afghanistan engagement. Of particular interest are the flags from each of these eras. The Museum also proudly holds the original accouterments of HRH The Princess Royal who is Colonel Commandant of the Regiment
