Battle Honours of the Canadian Army

The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada
(Princess Louise's)

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.
