Can anyone give me any history on the 122nd Regiment and is it still active?
Michael Dorosh said:There was never any such thing - what is your source?
Canada's highest numbered Regiment was the 106th Winnipeg Light Infantry, and all the numbers were deleted after the 1920 reorganizations of the Militia.
Unless you are referring to a Field Regiment, but there too, we never numbered as high as 122.
If you give some more details we might be able to figure out what you're talking about. We did have a 122nd Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force.
The 109th Regiment ... was raised Sept 14, 1914 at Toronto , Ontario, with designation as the 109th Canadian Militia Regiment and was disbanded on May 1, 1920.

reccecrewman said:Well, WRT Marteinson that could be........... but the 108th was perpetuated and is still on the orbat today. I should also add that Marteinson's book I have was co-authored by Brereton Greenhous, Stephen Harris, Norman Hillmer, William Johnston & William Rawling.
I consider myself as a keen student of the Great War, but I guess there's always more to learn........ Thanks Micheal
Michael Dorosh said:I was using the same book you mentioned as a reference...it's a good book, but definitely not a good "detail" book. But the only book out there covering in general the history of the army in any detail at all - Granatstein's Who Killed the Canadian Military is okay for that, but We Stand On Guard gets used by me quite a lot for quick references.
