Peel and Dufferin Regiment
- Peel and Dufferin Regiment
The Peel and Dufferin Regiment was a Canadian infantry regiment that existed from 1923 to 1936.
History
On 14 September 1866 the 36th Peel Battalion was authorized. During the Boer War the regiment, as a unit, did not go to war; however, many officers and men from the regiment served there. During the First World War, the regiment as such were not mobilized but drafts from various units were called up and formed into numbered battalions.
After the war, the 36th Peel Regiment was reorganized becoming the Peel and Dufferin Regiment in 1923. The regimental badge adopted was the Demi Lion which was the personal crest of Sir Robert Peel.
On 15 December 1936, following a general reorganization of the Militia, the Lorne Rifles and the Peel and Dufferin Regiment were amalgamated to form the present regiment, The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment). [http://www.army.dnd.ca/LORNE_SCOTS/content/welcome.htm]
