3 unusual facts about Peel and Dufferin Regiment


Peel and Dufferin Regiment

Some of the officers felt they would have to recruit from beyond the bounds of the county in order to be viable, and the Headquarters, A and B Companies were located in a large second story flat at the corner of Pacific and Dundas Streets in West Toronto; C Company was in Brampton and D Company in Port Credit.

The regimental badge adopted was the Demi Lion which was the personal crest of Sir Robert Peel.

Early that year the Regiment had received permission from Sir Robert Peel (after whose family the county had been named) to use part of his crest as a regimental badge.
