Some History:
The 1st Volunteer Militia Rifle Company of Ottawa was formed on
April 3, 1856, eleven years before confederation. In 1866, the 43rd Battalion of Infantry, which was also called the "Carleton Blazers", was formed in
Bells Corners just south of Ottawa.
The 43rd Battalion's first call to service came in 1870 when they were deployed to the
Prescott
area to defend Canada against
Fenian raids.
The number 2 company of the 43rd Battalion of Infantry would eventually become the Regiment de Hull. The
43rd's soldiers saw action in
the
North-West (Riel) Rebellion
of 1885, and in the
Second Boer War as well.
However, the battalion sent only volunteers to participate in these conflicts and never deployed formed units. In 1902, the regiment so impressed the Duke of Cornwall, who became King
George V,
that he became the Camerons' first honorary colonel and allowed the regiment to bear his name, "The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (Duke of Edinburgh's Own)". In WWI the unit was used to recruit and train soldiers mostly for the
2nd,
38th,
and
207th battalions
of the
Canadian Expeditionary Force.
Duirng the interwar years, in 1922, the 43rd Regiment was renamed
The Ottawa Highlanders
and in 1933, it was renamed
The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa.
"(M.G.)" for which the above badges are associated.
In
July 1940, the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa's active service battalion left for garrison duty in
Iceland,
which ended in April 1941 when they sailed to England. On 6 June 1944, the Camerons were the only Ottawa unit to land on
D-Day
at
Juno Beach.
The Camerons engaged the enemy in almost every battle until the war ended. The 3rd
Battalion was formed in July 1945 as a part of the Canadian Army Occupation Force in Germany.
