The Royal Montreal Regiment

The Royal Montreal Regiment

The Royal Montreal Regiment is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Forces based in Westmount, Quebec.

History

The Royal Montreal Regiment traces its origins to the creation of the 14th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) on August 27, 1914. The 14th was raised by the amalgamation of several companies of each of three existing Montreal Militia Regiments: The 1st Regiment, Canadian Grenadier Guards; The 3rd Regiment, Victoria Rifles of Canada, and the 65th Regiment, Carabiniers Mont-Royal. Shortly thereafter, this battalion was granted its present title, by special warrant.
