Great conversation with an old army buddy today who lives on the exact opposite side of the country. He's had a rough ride of late, but good to hear his voice and catch up. #veteran #canadianarmy #rcnavy #ptsd

Today, the PPCLI celebrates Regimental Day. Regimental Day is to honour the birthday of our unit’s first Colonel-in-Chief and the unit's namesake: Princess Patricia of Connaught.

Lady Patricia was born Victoria Patricia Helena Elizabeth on 17 March 1886 in Buckingham Palace, London, England. Her father was Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught the third son of Queen Victoria and her mother was Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia.

In 1911 her father was appointed the Governor-General of Canada and she joined him in Canada where she became very popular with Canadians
When the PPCLI was being formed LCol Farquhar requested the Princess the honour of her name for the Regiment. She accepted the proposal and designed and made by hand the “Ric-A-Dam-Doo”. During WWI she followed the accomplishments of the unit during their fighting in the trench and grieved for their losses. At the end of the war, she presented the unit with the wreath of Laurel commemorating their losses.
