Here is a flag of the Third Battalion Toronto Regiment Canadian Expeditionary Force presented by LCol Chisholm retired to the 1st Battalion QOR in 1964 at Work-out Barracks Victoria BC.
“On April 9, 1917, the famous Vimy Ridge attack took place. This had been planned and practised most carefully. The 3rd Battalion was on the extreme right of the Canadian Corps and so had the longest distance to go. Nevertheless it took its first objective on time and captured four guns, the first to be taken by Canadians. The casualties were, for World War I, light – 6 officers and 179 men. During the new few days the gains were extended to the flat country east of the ridge.”

"Photoshopped" QOR Officers from 1878-1881. Love the old school manual cutting and gluing on these photos.
Did you know in 1940 to early 1941 the 1st Battalion QOR was stationed in Newfoundland? At that time Newfoundland was its own dominion and wasn't part of Canada so technically overseas. The Battalion was stationed at Botwood, Gander and various other parts throughout their stay. We would like to thank the Botwood Historical society for sharing photos from their collection.
Throwback for the day this time the Band and Bugles of the Regiment during a CNE Warriors day parade in the late 1980s to early 1990s unfortunately we do not have a specific year. Who remembers the old stadium?
