From the muddy fields of Flanders to the arid hills of Afghanistan, witness the extraordinary journey of ordinary citizen-soldiers. Discover how The Royal Montreal Regiment, Canada’s first officially bilingual unit, set the standard for operational excellence, overcoming challenges and forging an unbreakable legacy. Also discover characters like the remarkable Major-General Charles Basil Price, known as “the father of the Regiment.” From a private with the Victoria Rifles in 1905 to the RMR’s first RSM to later becoming commanding officer (twice!), Price’s leadership was instrumental in building the RMR’s armoury and guiding the Regiment through its early post-war years, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to its future. Leading the 3rd Canadian Infantry Brigade overseas in 1939, he was promoted to Major-General in 1941 and appointed to command the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. 

“Glory Never Dies” is a testament to courage, sacrifice, quiet professionalism, and strong leadership.
