    The Royal Canadian Regiment Charter


Our Colonel-in-Chief, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, while reviewing the 1st Battalion, on 31 May 1980, said:

       

"You will be expected to set an example at all times, in all military arts and virtues, in smartness and discipline, intelligence and general conduct, but particularly in courage and tenacity in moments of crisis and adversity".

Strome Galloway, a former Colonel of the Regiment described the Regiment as follows:



"In many ways a Regiment is like a tree. It has roots, it has branches. And the men who belong to it are so many leaves. They come and go with the seasons. Yet, the tree lives on to see new branches grafted to the main stem, to see the old branches lopped off. The Royal Canadian Regiment, if it can be likened to a tree, is becoming an old tree. But, by a steady process of grafting and pruning it has remained a hardy plant". -- A Regiment At War, Colonel A.S.A. Galloway, ED, CD
