Re: Infantry
3 PPCLI is now located in Edmonton (with 1 PPCLI). With regards to the
PPCLI being an army unto themselves, I firmly believe that is a trait
that is exhibited amonst all army regiments. To often units are too
concerned with their own "sandbox" and don't concern themselves with the
welfare of the army as a whole. I think that's why the navy and air
force are always able to "trump" us on political issues. Maybe there's
alot to be said for renaming all the units using numbers, vice, the old
British naming system. Just think...no more PPCLI, RCR, or R22eR,
rather they would be the First to Nineth battalions of the Canadian
Rifles!
