PPCLI Regimental Birthday

[dangerboy]

"10th of August Regimental Birthday

The Regiment was born in Ottawa in August 1914 as a result of the offer of Captain Hamilton Gault to provide $100,000 to finance and equip a  battalion for overseas service.

On 6 August 1914, Captain Gault's offer was provisionally accepted by the Canadian Government. Authority was granted on 10 August 1914 to raise and equip an infantry battalion with the remainder of the cost being defrayed by the Department of Militia and Defense. On 10 August 1914 the Charter of the Regiment was signed"

Taken from the Regimental Manual of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry

It is going to be a "really big show" in every way.  the plan has been in the works for 6 years now, and we are on version 9 of the Master Plan.  I will post details as we get closer to the day.

Happy Birthday to Patricia's everywhere.

An appropriate occasion to use one these scotch glasses:

(Now, for 1915, we need to convince our respective Regimental Majors to authorize a 7th Brigade set of glasses: The RCR - PPCLI - 42nd Bn - 49th Bn)
