The Royal Canadian Hussars 3.78

Les origines du The Royal Canadian Hussars (Montreal) communément appelé RCH proviennent directement de la cavalerie de volontaire de Montréal formé dans le dix-huitième siècle. L'amalgamation de deux régiments célèbres de cavalerie montréalaise, le «6th Duke of Connaught's Royal Canadian Hussars» et le «17th Duke of York's Royal Canadian Hussars» fut devenue effective le 15 septembre 1958. Le régiment amalgamé du corps blindé royal canadien fut désigné le «Royal Canadian Hussars (Montreal)», une des deux plus vieilles unités de cavalerie volontaire au Canada.

Le présent régiment consiste en l'amalgame de cinq unités de cavalerie et d'un régiment blindé, soit, le «Royal Montreal Cavalry», le «5th Dragoons», le «6th Duke of Connaught's Royal Canadian Hussars», le «11th Argenteuil Rangers», le «17th Duke of York's Royal Canadian Hussars» et le «1st Motor Machine Gun Brigade».
