The Calgary Highlanders
The Calgary Highlanders are a Canadian Armed Forces Land Reserve Infantry unit. They were originally raised in 1910 as the 103rd Regiment (Calgary Rifles). In 1921 the Calgary Regiment was divided into two Battalions; the 1st Battalion became the Calgary Highlanders and the 2nd Battalion became the King's Own Calgary Regiment.
The Regiment has sent soldiers overseas during both World Wars where they have won Battle Honours in both conflicts. They have also served in numerous UN peacekeeping and NATO missions.
Motto, "Airaghardt", is Gaelic for "Onward".
