The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry (Wentworth Regiment) is one of the oldest, most highly regarded and best known of all of the Militia units in Canada. We are also one of the few Militia units to bear a city's name as part of its designation. Since we were founded in 1862, many thousands of men and women have served with great pride in the RHLI, both in peace and war.

Armorial Description
Superimposed upon a maple leaf, a bugle with strings surmounted by the Crown; within the strings, the letters RHLI, below the bugle and upon the base of the maple leaf two scrolls, the uppermost inscribed WENTWORTH REGIMENT and the lower one bearing the motto SEMPER PARATUS.


Official Abbreviation: RHLI
Motto: Semper Paratus (Always ready)

sadly, no, most units are more skilled in snowshoeing, but many of the troops have been trained on the ski's

that photo is of 9mm simunition, a paint round used for training. there is a thread of that somewhere.....
