Battle Honours of the Canadian Army

Le Régiment de la Chaudière

Highlighted Battle Honours are approved for emblazonment on the Regimental Colour. Capitalized Battle Honours indicate the name of a group of battles, actions or engagements. Where common names but separate year dates created a combined battle honour title authorized as a single name for emblazonment, both have been highlighted.

Defence of Canada – 1690 – Défense de Canada

  

Announced 5 May 2019

This Battle Honour for the 1690 defence of Canada "harkens back to Quebec's earliest history: the defence of what would become the City of Montreal against an attack by British colonial forces in 1690. It is the battle in which the French-appointed Governor General, the Count of Frontenac, famously answered British calls for surrender by saying, "I will answer with the muzzles of my cannons and muskets."
