I'm Michael Peterson, a priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, currently serving a parish in the Diocese of Toronto. I'm also a retired Canadian Forces chaplain , hence the Padre in the title. Mad just means eccentric, and on that note, I also blog on toy soldiers, madpadrewargames.blogspot.com. I'm on X (what used to be Twitter) at @MarshalLuigi and I'm on Bluesky at @madpadre.bsky.social

Military Picture Of The Week
Happy New Year. January’s not over yet so I can say that, since I haven’t posted here since 29 December. Finishing my MA thesis has taken much of my time but while I have been updating the wargames blog, this one has been awkwardly silent. Maybe it’s felt too much like work.
At any rate, time to pick things up a bit. This image from this week’s Foreign Policy The World In Photos This Week caught my attention as a splendid example of how cultural traditions can live on in together with contemporary, utilitarian military uniforms. The caption reads: “Recruits of the Indian Central Reserve Police Force Constables stand in formation, Jan. 16”.
The CRPF is a paramilitary organization. You can see them going through their paces here.
