Battle Honours

The conditions for the award of "Battle Honours" for the Great War 1914-1919 and their geographical and chronological limits were not delineated until 1928. The 52nd Battalion, which served in the field from February 1916 to February 1919 was awarded 18 Battle Honours: "MOUNT SORREL," "SOMME, 1916," "Flers-Courcelette," "Ancre Heights," ARRAS, 1917,'18," "VIMY,1917," "HILL 70," YPRES,1917," "Passchendaele," "AMIENS," "Scarpe, 1918," "Drocourt-Quéant," "HINDENBERG LINE," "Canal du Nord," "Cambrai, 1918," "VALENCIENNES," FRANCE AND FLANDERS, 1915-18." The 141st Battalion was awarded "The Great War, 1917." Those honours in bold were selected for emblazonment. The Lake Superior Regiment as the perpetuating unit inherited the Honours of the 52nd Battalion. Because of the detachments contributed on the formation of the 8th Battalion, the Lake Superior Regiment also inherited two Battle Honours from that unit: "YPRES, 1915" and "FESTUBERT, 1915."
