BRIEF REGIMENTAL HISTORY:
According to the Cape Breton Highlander Association website information on the 94th Victoria Regiment Argyll Highlanders, “
[t]he Battalion was organized on October 13, 1871 as The Victoria Provisional Battalion of Infantry from four independent companies. Headquarters of this new unit was established at Baddeck, Victoria County, Cape Breton - hence the name. The ranks were filled predominantly by Highlanders, the descendants of Scots who had emigrated from the Duke of Argyll's estates. After a slight change in redesignation the unit officially became a Highland battalion on December 12, 1879. A few months later, on April 9, 1880, a further redesignation bound the unit to its Argyll ancestry by bearing The Victoria Provisional Battalion of Infantry ‘Argyll Highlanders’ and in 1890, it was numbered ‘94
th
’ in the list of Canadian Militia Units.”
