Year in Review Over the last 12 months, Much activity has occured for the Lincoln & Welland Regiment. With COVID-19, The Regiment had a very interesting year w...ith many challenges to be faced. With Steadfast Resolve, The Regiment overcame the challenge and answered the call to action. In April 2020, The Regiment saw its first members deployed in support of OPERATION LASER and the Canadian Armed Forces operation for the COVID-19 pandemic. When OPERATION LASER transitioned to a return to training in June 2020, The regiment provided both candidates as well as instructional staff to support 32 Canadian Brigade Group Battle School With Master Corporal Hoeller, Master Corporal Langelaan and Master Corporal Rozon off to Meaford to teach Infantry DP1.1 and Lieutenant Yeandle, Sergeant Scotney, Sergeant Neufeld, Master Corporal Comfort, Master Corporal McIntyre and more to support a local Infantry DP1.1 aswell. In September and October of 2020, The Regiment continues on with training with members conducting multiple ranges to qualify with the C7A2 Rifle. On 31 October 2020, The Regiment conducted a Change Of Command Ceramony with Lieutenant Colonel Cincio passing on the role of Commanding Officer to Lieutenant Colonel Canavan. In November 2020, the Regiment Carried on with training. During Remembrance Day, The Regiment payed respects to the fallen at local cenotaphs while abiding by COVID-19 restrictions. November also left the Regiment missing a familiar face in the building as Sergeant Scotney had retired. Sergeant Scotney has left a postive impression on every member of the regiment, from Private to even the Commanding Officer. We thank Sergeant Scotney for his decades of faithfull service to the Regiment. As the year comes to an end, We would like to thank all members of the regiment for their hard work, resolve and continuation of strong support for the Regiment as well as the regimental family and we look forward to continuing on in 2021 NON NOBIS SED PATRIÆ Photo 1: Private Davidson takes aim at the target during a section attack - November 2020 Photo 2: Master Corporals Langelaan, Rozon, Hoeller and Comfort with 4 Graduates of Basic Military Qualification in Borden Ontario, August 2020.

Avec COVID-19, le Régiment a connu une année très intéressante avec de nombreux défis à relever. Avec Steadfast Resolve, le régiment a surmonté le défi et lancé l'appel à l'action. En avril 2020, le Régiment a vu ses premiers membres déployés à l'appui de l'OPÉRATION LASER et de l'opération des Forces armées canadiennes pour la pandémie du COVID-19. Lorsque l'OPÉRATION LASER est passée à un retour à l'entraînement en juin 2020, le régiment a fourni des candidats ainsi que du personnel enseignant pour soutenir l'École de combat du 32e Groupe-brigade du Canada avec le caporal-chef Hoeller, le caporal-chef Langelaan et le caporal-chef Rozon à Meaford pour enseigner l'infanterie DP1 .1 et le lieutenant Yeandle, le sergent Scotney, le sergent Neufeld, le caporal-chef Comfort, le caporal-chef McIntyre et plus encore pour soutenir un DP1.1 d'infanterie local. En septembre et octobre 2020, le régiment poursuit sa formation avec des membres effectuant plusieurs gammes pour se qualifier avec le fusil C7A2. Le 31 octobre 2020, le régiment a organisé une cérémonie de passation de commandement avec le lieutenant-colonel Cincio en passant le rôle de commandant au lieutenant-colonel Canavan. En novembre 2020, le régiment a poursuivi sa formation. Pendant le jour du Souvenir, le régiment a rendu hommage aux morts aux cénotaphes locaux tout en respectant les restrictions du COVID-19. En novembre, le régiment manqua également un visage familier dans le bâtiment alors que le sergent Scotney avait pris sa retraite. Le sergent Scotney a laissé une impression positive sur tous les membres du régiment, du soldat au commandant même. Nous remercions le sergent Scotney pour ses décennies de service fidèle au régiment. À la fin de l'année, nous tenons à remercier tous les membres du régiment pour leur travail acharné, leur détermination et la poursuite de leur solide soutien au régiment ainsi qu'à la famille régimentaire et nous sommes impatients de continuer en 2021 NON NOBIS SED PATRIÆ Photo 1: Le soldat Davidson vise la cible lors d'une attaque de section - novembre 2020 Photo 2: Caporal-chef Langelaan, Rozon, Hoeller et Comfort avec 4 diplômés de la qualification militaire de base à Borden (Ontario), août 2020.

EIGHTY- ONE YEARS AGO TODAY THE TSR (M.G.) ONBOARD THE EMPRESS OF AUSTRALIA DEPARTED HALIFAX BOUND FOR SCOTLAND IL Y A 80 ET UN AN AUJOURD'HUI LE TSR (M.G.)... À BORD DE L 'EMPRESS OF AUSTRALIA DÉPARTE HALIFAX EN LIEN AVEC L'ÉCOSSE The Regiment arrived in Halifax on 7 December after a two-day train trip from Toronto and at once began to embark on Troopship E-5, the Canadian Pacific Liner, RMS Empress of Australia, still in its peacetime configuration, at Pier 21 in Halifax. The Regiment had brought an extra Vickers machine gun along with it, surplus to its inventory, which was a little unusual, until one looked more closely at the paperwork. Private Corky, an Airedale terrier and Regiment’s mascot was listed as the Vickers. The TSR (M.G.) (738 all ranks) was the first regiment to leave the Toronto garrison for overseas and one of the very first in the country to depart Canada after war was declared on 10 September 1939. One week earlier, Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Christopher Thompson was given the go ahead to mobilize. Over 80% of the TSR (M.G.) officers and soldiers volunteered to go active. Along with the Empress of Australia, four other liners, Empress of Britain Monarch of Bermuda Duchess of Bedford and the Aquitania carried the first contingent totalling some 7400 all ranks. After three days of loading stores, troops and more waiting, the convoy was ready to move and it slowly slipped out of Halifax harbour on 10 December. The accompanying warships were HMS Resolution, HMS Repulse, HMS Emerald, HMS Furious and six RCN destroyers. For 43 years, (1928-1971) Pier 21 was the east coast terminus for troopships carrying soldiers overseas and back home and ocean liners bringing immigrants to Canada. By the 1970s with airplanes the preferred way to travel, Pier 21 traffic dropped significantly, and it was closed. In 1997, it was declared a National Historic Site and in time an Immigration Museum was created. In 2005, during a visit to Pier 21, it was learned that the museum had a fund-raising initiative whereby regiments which had embarked from here for overseas could have a commemorative plaque placed on the boat deck. The suggestion was passed forward to the regimental senate and after a donation of $1000 to support the museum, a TSR (M.G.) plaque was placed. The text was ours to write, but the size and design fell under the purview of the museum. Le régiment est arrivé à Halifax le 7 décembre après un voyage en train de deux jours au départ de Toronto et a immédiatement commencé à embarquer sur le Troopship E-5, le paquebot du Canadien Pacifique, RMS Empress of Australia, toujours dans sa configuration de temps de paix au Halifax. Le régiment avait apporté avec lui une mitrailleuse Vickers supplémentaire, excédentaire à son inventaire, ce qui était un peu inhabituel jusqu'à ce que l'on examine de plus près la paperasse. Le soldat Corky, un Airedale terrier et la mascotte du régiment, figurait sur la liste des Vickers. Le TSR (MG) (738 tous grades confondus), fut le premier régiment à quitter la garnison de Toronto pour l'étranger et l'un des tout premiers au pays à partir après que le Canada eut déclaré la guerre le 10 septembre 1939. Une semaine avant la déclaration de guerre, le commandant, le lieutenant-colonel Christopher Thompson a reçu le feu vert pour se mobiliser. Plus de 80% des officiers et soldats du TSR (M.G.) se sont portés volontaires pour devenir actifs. Avec Empress of Australia, quatre autres paquebots, Empress of Britain Monarch of Bermuda Duchesse de Bedford et Aquitania ont transporté le premier contingent 7400 tous gradsoit un total dees. Après trois jours de chargement et d'attente, le convoi était prêt à partir et il a lentement glissé hors du port d'Halifax le 10 décembre. Les navires de guerre qui l'accompagnaient étaient le HMS Resolution, le HMS Repulse, le HMS Emerald, le HMS Furious et six destroyers de la MRC. Pendant 43 ans (1928-1971), le Quai 21 a été le terminus de la côte Est des navires de troupes transportant des soldats outre-mer et des paquebots transportant des immigrants au Canada. Dans les années 1970, les avions étant le moyen de transport préféré, le trafic du Quai 21 a considérablement diminué et il a été fermé. En 1997, il a été déclaré lieu historique national et, avec le temps, un musée de l'immigration a été créé. En 2005, lors d'une visite au Quai 21, on a appris que le musée avait une initiative de collecte de fonds grâce à laquelle les régiments qui s'étaient embarqués ici pour l'étranger pouvaient faire placer une plaque commémorative sur le pont du bateau. La suggestion a été transmise au sénat régimentaire et après un don de 1 000 $ pour soutenir le musée, une plaque TSR (M.G.) a été placée. Le texte était à nous de rédiger, mais la taille et le design relevaient de la compétence du musée.

Reconnaissance patrols are teams of soldiers gathering crucial information regarding a battlespace to assist a commander in defining and shaping the battlespace... in which they operate. Patrols during times of war and conflict may look for information about locations, markings, or movements of the enemy, among many other pieces of intelligence that provide their commander with the information needed to make decisions or plans. The health and safety of our soldiers is crucial to our force remaining #StrongProudReady. The soldiers shown here training to conduct recce patrols have been isolating together at 4th Canadian Division Training Centre for the duration of their course. Les patrouilles de reconnaissance sont des équipes de soldats qui collectent de l’information critique sur le champs de bataille et soutiennent un commandant à définir et façonner l’espace de bataille dans lequel ils opèrent. Les patrouilles en temps de guerre et de conflits peuvent chercher de l’information sur les lieux, les marquages, ou les mouvements de l’ennemi, parmi plusieurs autres types de renseignement qui fournissent à leur commandant de l’information requise pour lors de la prise de décision et la planification. La santé et la sécurité de nos soldats sont crutiales pour les garder #FortsFiersPrêts, donc dans le but de rendre cet entraînement possible, ces soldats ont été isolés ensemble au Centre d'Instruction de la 4e Division du Canada pour la durée de leur cours.

Staying fit and maintaining operational readiness is a priority in the Canadian Armed Forces. Every year, members must pass the FORCE Evaluation. The FORCE Eval...uation is a reflection of the CAF minimal physical employment standard related to common defence and security duties known as the Universality of Service principle. Some trades within the CAF require higher levels of fitness or operational readiness, but the minimum standards for the FORCE Evaluation are meant to reflect the baseline CAF physical employment standard that everyone must meet. The FORCE Evaluation is designed to capture the movement patterns, energy systems, and muscle groups recruited in the performance of the Common Military Task Fitness Evaluation (CMTFE). For more information on what to expect on the FORCE Evaluation, click on the link in our Instagram profile bio. Video is from our FORCE Evaluation that took place on 3 November 2020. #StrongSecureEngaged #32SigRegt #32cbg #CAF #WeAreHiring #CanadianArmy ---- Rester en forme et maintenir l'état de préparation opérationnelle est une priorité dans les Forces armées canadiennes.

Meet Corporal Colin Fraser Barron of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, C.E.F. #OnThisDay in 1917, Corporal Barron was awarded the Victoria Cross for his conspicuous b...ravery during the Second Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium. Corporal Barron was one of 100,000 Canadians ordered to take the ridge near the Belgian town of Passchendaele. On November 6th, his unit’s goal was to take a pillbox containing three machine guns. Alone, he rushed and worked his way around the flank of the German position. He killed four of the enemy and captured the remainder. His bravery and determination enabled the advance to continue. https://www.canada.ca//victoria-c/colin-fraser-barron.html #CAF #MyCAF #FWW

SIKHS IN THE CANADIAN CORPS DURING THE GREAT WAR LASHMAN (LAAL) SINGH AND HARI SINGH 75th BATTALION (Canadian Expeditionary Force) Lashman Singh was Killed-in...-Action 102 years ago today. Of the over 600,000 soldiers who served in the Canadian Army in the Great War, only 10 were Sikhs and two of that number served with the 75th Battalion. No. 219222, Private Lashman (Laal) Singh was one of the two, the other being No. 139181, Private Hari Singh, both from the Punjab, India. Hari Singh was an original 75th Battalion enlistment, Laal Singh joined up in September 1915 in Smith Falls Ontario and was taken-on-strength with the 75th overseas in July 1916. The circumstances surrounding the death of Private Laal Singh remain a bit of a mystery. It appears he was a fatality on a patrol on the outskirts of Valenciennes (Battle Honour) on the night of 24 October 1918. Following is an excerpt from Toronto’s Fighting 75th in the Great War, 1916-1919. By nightfall on the 22nd, the 75th had dug in and stretched along the west bank of the Canal de l’Escaut. The next evening, Lieutenant Henry Hanan led a four-man reconnaissance patrol over the canal to check on enemy dispositions in Valenciennes. Swimming across, they found a foot bridge on the German side which they were able to swing into place. It was a quiet and uneventful night. Twenty-four hours later, Lieutenant Hanan led a second patrol of 14 men over the foot bridge and penetrated the railway yards directly east and south of the canal. As he motioned his patrol forward in the dark, he was challenged and immediately fired on by machine-gun and rifles at 40 metres distant. Private Laal Singh 33 was killed; everyone else scattered. Hanan and six others made it back to the footbridge: the remainder were not able and attempted to swim the canal to safety. The Germans had strewn barbed wire along areas of the canal bed, and now threw potato mashers (grenades) into the water, with the result that only two arrived safely back, one badly wounded. Of the others, Lance/Sergeant David McConachie, 28, William McArthur, 26; George Derochie, 22; John MacPherson, 25; and Samuel Sauvé, 25; could not have known about the barbed wire and it is presumed that they became entangled and subsequently drowned. So of the seven not able to make it to the footbridge, five drown and only two made it safely across, one seriously wounded. The date-of-death for the five is 25 October. Only Private Singh is recorded as being killed on the 24th. Although not known with absolute certainty, in all probability he was killed in the firefight as he was the only one recorded to have died on the 24th. In the video Canadian Sikh Soldiers in World War I uploaded here, reference is made to Laal Singh’s death and that he was not killed as indicated. The Battalion War Diary has no mention of the 75th being involved in any other activity that night, thus, he had to have been killed on this patrol. (Start at the 32 minute mark) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mswi99wZOR4 Circumstances of Death Cards exist in Library/Archives Canada for Great War fatalities, however records from alpha Sims to Z have not survived, so we are unable to confirm the exact details. Private Laal Singh was originally buried in Bellaing Churchyard about 5 kilometres from where he was killed and later moved to Arras Road British War Cemetery for final burial. On his gravestone is the standard cross, most likely because he attested as Church of England and therefore considered Christian. Private Hari Singh, and original 75th volunteer was wounded at Vimy, survived the war and joined the newly formed Toronto Scottish in 1921. Now a sergeant, he was still on strength in 1939 when Queen Elizabeth presented new Colours to the Regiment. He passed away in April 1953.

ICYMI -- On Friday, several distinguished guests presented a plaque honoring the Queen’s Rangers unveiling it at its new home in York County’s Riverwalk Landing.... The Queen’s Rangers, a Loyalist regiment formed in 1776, served during the 1781 Siege of Yorktown and was part of the British surrender. Following the war, many of the Rangers relocated to Canada. Although part of Lord Cornwallis’ Army in Virginia, the Queen’s Rangers are remembered for their impact on the American Revolution. This plaque, presented to the United States by the Ontario Heritage Trust, honors the 200th anniversary of the Siege of Yorktown on October 19th, 1981. For several years, the plaque was in storage, but has now been reinstalled in Yorktown. Do you want to read more? Click this link: https://www.act.nato.int//plaque-rededication-recognizing-
