Members of the country's oldest French-Canadian infantry regiment vowed yesterday to rise from the ashes of the landmark Quebec City Armoury overlooking the Plains of Abraham that was destroyed by a massive fire.

The historic drill hall, built in 1887, has been burned to the ground, with only the brick wall facade and two towers still standing and facing the Quebec National Assembly.

"Right now we are down on one knee, but we will get back on our feet," said Brig.-Gen. Christian Barabé, commander of land forces for the Quebec area.
