The Range Control Building in the Militia Training Support Centre was dedicated on 26 October 1994 to Cpl James Hendry. An RCE tunneller, Cpl Hendry was working on wartime tunnelling at Loch Laggan, Scotland and attempted to extinguish a powder house fire but was killed in the resulting devastating explosion. He was posthumously awarded the George Cross for his devotion to duty and disregard of his own safety. This was only the second George Cross won by the Canadian Army.
