  • The Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) is an infantry regiment of the Canadian Army. The regiment consists of four battalions, three in the Regular Force and one in the primary reserve. The RCR is ranked 1st in the order of precedence amongst Canadian Army infantry regiments, but in a quirk of the rules of seniority, its 4th battalion is 9th. The RCR was originally authorized as the Infantry School Corps on 21 December 1883, and established its first three company stations at Fredericton, New Brunswick; St Jean, Quebec; and Toronto, Ontario. In 1887 a fourth company was authorized and the next year was established at London, Ontario. Now consisting of three Regular Force battalions and one Reserve Force battalion, the regiment's four battalions are now stationed in Ontario and New Brunswick. With many of its soldiers drawn from Ontario and the Atlantic Provinces in recent decades, the regiment maintains a general connection as the "local" infantry regiment for anglophone eastern Canada. The RCR maintains a Regimental Headquarters (RHQ) in Petawawa, Ontario, which has no operational command role but handles regimental affairs outside the responsibility of the individual battalions. The Royal Canadian Regiment Museum is located within historic Wolseley Hall in London, Ontario. Wolseley Barracks in London has been continuously occupied by some element of the regiment since construction of Wolseley Hall was completed in 1888. At various times Wolseley Barracks has been the home of the Regimental Headquarters, the 1st and 2nd Battalions, and remains the home of the 4th Battalion today. (en)
  • The Royal Canadian Regiment ou The RCR, littéralement « Le Régiment royal canadien », est un régiment d'infanterie de l'Armée canadienne des Forces armées canadiennes. Il s’agit du plus ancien régiment de ce type dans la Force régulière au Canada. Le régiment est aujourd'hui divisé en quatre bataillons dont un de réserve pour un total d'environ 2 000 soldats. Il est le principal occupant de la base des Forces canadiennes (BFC) Petawawa en Ontario et de la BFC Gagetown au Nouveau-Brunswick. Le régiment n'est pas une structure organisationnelle en tant que telle, mais plutôt protocolaire. Les quatre bataillons du régiment sont donc des unités opérationnelles distinctes. Néanmoins, le régiment a un quartier général régimentaire sur la BFC Petawawa qui s'occupe des affaires régimentaires qui ne dépendent pas des unités en particulier. Depuis sa formation en 1883, le RCR a été employé dans presque tous les conflits impliquant les Forces armées canadiennes. (fr)
  • Короле́вский кана́дский полк (англ. The Royal Canadian Regiment, фр. Le Régiment royal canadien) — пехотный полк Канадских вооружённых сил. Полк состоит из четырёх батальонов: трёх в регулярных вооружённых силах и одного в Основном резерве (милиции). ККП — старейший пехотный полк в регулярных вооружённых силах, но его 4-й батальон (бывшие Лондонские и оксфордские стрелки) считается 11-м в порядке старшинства среди пехотных полков Основного резерва. Четыре батальона полка базируются в Онтарио и Нью-Брансуике. Многие из его солдат набраны в последние десятилетия из Онтарио и Атлантических провинций, и полк позиционирует себя как «местный» пехотный полк для Восточной Канады. Полковая штаб-квартира ККП находится в ; она не играет оперативно-командной роли, но управляет полковыми делами, выходящими за пределы компетенции отдельных батальонов. находится в историческом Вулсли-холле в Лондоне (Онтарио). В в Лондоне с момента постройки Вулсли-холла в 1888 г. постоянно размещались какие-либо подразделения полка. В разное время казармы Вулсли принимали 1-й и 2-й батальоны, а в настоящий момент здесь базируется 4-й батальон. (ru)

dbp:text
  • I am delighted to be here with you once again, to share in this day of national celebration, and, as a member of the Canadian family, to wish Canada a happy birthday on this one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of Confederation. We have an occasion, and a country, worth celebrating ... I want to say a special word about the brave Canadian soldiers who today seek to bring peace, under the United Nations auspices, to a dangerous situation in Bosnia. They serve both Canada and the cause of peace with courage and conviction. As Queen of Canada, I salute their contribution with pride ... You have inherited a country uniquely worth preserving. I call on you all, wherever you live, whatever your walk of life, to cherish that inheritance, and to protect it with all your strength. May God bless each and every one of you as you go about that task. And may God bless Canada. (en)
