Happy Regimental Day to Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry!

On March 17, 1919, Princess Patricia personally decorated her regiment with the first Wreath of Laurel, which now adorns the PPCLI's Regimental Colour. This historic moment marked the beginning of a proud tradition that continues to this day.

The PPCLI has served Canada with distinction for over 100 years, from the trenches of WWI to peacekeeping missions around the globe. Their motto "First in the Field" reflects their readiness and dedication to service.

To all past and present members of the PPCLI: Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
