The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise's) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise's), or A & SH of C, is a Primary Reserve Highland infantry regiment of the Canadian Forces, based at John W. Foote VC Armoury in Hamilton, Ontario. In 1856 a Highland Rifle Company - forerunner of the present regiment - was formed in Hamilton, Ontario. Between 1880 and the First World War, as part of a heightened self-consciousness by Scots-Canadians and a rising interest in militarism generally, several kilted regiments were raised in cities across Canada. Hamilton had had a kilted military presence since 1856 when James Aitchison Skinner organized a Highland company; it later became a company of the 13th Royal Regiment, later the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry.
