A Look Across the Pond: The Royal Yorkshire Regiment Newsletter
Westmount, Quebec – 03 September 2025: The Royal Montreal Regiment has long enjoyed a special bond with our sister regiment in the United Kingdom, the Royal Yorkshire Regiment (R YORKS)—an infantry regiment whose proud history, traditions, and operational tempo set a high standard.
Their most recent R YORKS Newsletter is a rich publication that captures the spirit of a busy year for their battalions, association, and regimental family. From commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Korean War with their veterans, to raising over £70,000 through charitable events, the newsletter makes clear that the Yorkshire Regiment is thriving despite the challenges of today’s high-tempo operational environment.
The issue also highlights:
- Operational excellence, with 1 R YORKS deploying to Kosovo under NATO and Quebec Company serving in Poland on Op CABRIT.
- Cutting-edge innovation, as 2 R YORKS took part in Project Convergence in the U.S., integrating emerging battlefield technologies with American and Australian allies.
- Reservist contributions, with 4 R YORKS balancing training, overseas deployments, and ceremonial duties, including supporting UN operations in Cyprus and Ukrainian training at home.
- Association and veteran activity, including the Korean Ambassador’s wreath-laying in York and inspiring fundraising walks by members.
Much like our own Intercom, the RYORKS newsletter connects serving soldiers, cadets, veterans, and families across the regimental family. It is well worth a read for anyone interested in how our cousins in Yorkshire are carrying on their traditions while adapting to modern demands.
