The Royal Montreal Regiment traces its origins to the creation of the 14th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) on August 27th, 1914. The 14th was raised by the amalgamation of several companies of each of three existing Montreal Militia Regiments: The 1st Regiment, Canadian Grenadier Guards; The 3rd Regiment, Victoria Rifles of Canada, and the 65th Regiment, Carabiniers Mont-Royal. Shortly thereafter, this Battalion was granted its present title, by special warrant.
The Royal Montreal Regiment's history includes playing an important role in World War I, World War II and other conflicts. You may read about them in this section, or through the Standing Orders.
