About

The Royal Montreal Regiment traces its origins to the creation of the 14^th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) on August 27th, 1914. The 14^th 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.
