This lad in the picture is often claimed to be PPCLI but, as all Royal Canadians know, he served with 1 RCR.



National Archives of Canada Photograph PA 128850 by Paul J. Tomelin.

Pte. Heath Mathews was a signaller with "C" Coy of the 1st Bn. The Royal Canadian Regiment. He was wounded during a company strength raid on an enemy position the night of 22 June 1952.
Note the three No. 36 M Mk. I hand grenades on his belt and the late model US M1 carbine with bayonet lug.
