Some History ...The birth of the Regiment occurred on the 15th of December 1936 with General Order 188/36. There was reorganization of the Non-Permanent Active Militia and with that six tank battalions and a Tank School were created. Of the six new tank units, 5 had been infantry and the only new unit was raised in Windsor, Ontario, and given the title The Essex Regiment (Tank).On January 27, 1942 the Regiment changed roles within the Armoured Corps. On that date they became a reconnaissance regiment and the "active" unit of the Essex Regiment (Tank) became the divisional RECCE regiment for the 7th Canadian Division.
