The Toronto Scottish Regiment (Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's Own)

The Toronto Scottish Regiment is a militia infantry regiment of the Canadian Army. The regiment was formed in 1920 as the Mississauga Regiment in Mississauga, Ontario to perpetuate the lineage of the 75th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force following the First World War. The regiment increased to two battalions in 1921 when the 84th Battalion, CEF was incorporated. At that time, it was renamed as the Toronto Scottish Regiment.

During the Second World War, the regiment became a machine gun unit. In 1940, the 1st Battalion mounted the guard at Buckingham Palace prior to it becoming the 2nd Infantry Division Support Battalion. Amongst the regiment's service, it took part in the ill-fated Dieppe raid in 1942.

In 2000, the regiment changed its name to the Toronto Scottish Regiment (Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's Own), in recognition of their Colonel-in-Chief, who had held the psoition since 1938. In recognition, the regiment was part of the escort at the Queen Mother's funeral. Today, the regiment is part of 32 Canadian Brigade Group in Land Force Central Area.
