"Right, wheel!", calls the sergeant, and men dressed in the
uniform of the 78th Highlanders march down the parade ground at the
Halifax Citadel, much as they did in the last century. The Citadel
draws more visitors than any other national historic site. A
favourite display is The Tides of History, an imaginative multi-
media saga of the city's history, that has the audience changing
from theatre to theatre, as the narrative progresses.
The cooperation of the 'soldiers' at the Citadel is evidenced
by the fact that, when requested, these men marched 'round the same
circle six times, until I was satisfied with the images I had made.
