Excerpt from From Quebec to Pretoria: With the Royal Canadian Regiment The object of writing this book is to preserve a record of the doings of the Royal Canadian Regiment while on active service in South Africa. I hope it will be acceptable to the members of the Regiment. The general public may find it interesting, as they will be enabled to obtain a more consecutive idea of our movements and actions than they could possibly have gathered from disjointed newspaper reports published at the time.

Regimental histories are a virtual window to a nation. They provide insight into a country’s culture, values, and martial spirit. But more specifically they tell the story of the men and women who fight their nation’s wars. Created as an infantry school corps to train the Militia, the Royal Canadian Regiment quickly grew to serve the national interest at home and abroad. From its first operational mission in Canada’s rugged Northwest to assist in quelling the Riel Rebellion to the harsh veldt of South Africa to help defeat the Boers, Canada’s oldest permanent force infantry regiment produced a legacy of courage and professionalism. This proud history was continued in the furnace of both world wars in Europe and shortly thereafter in Korea. It becomes evident that in its first 70 turbulent years of existence, the Royal Canadian Regiment established a heritage of honour and service to Canada, paid for in the blood, bravery, and tenacity of its members.
