48th Highlanders Regimental Memorial

The 48th Highlanders of Canada stands as a Primary Reserve infantry regiment within the Canadian Forces, with its home in Toronto, Ontario. Members gather at Moss Park Armoury. This regiment traces its origins back to 1891. During the First World War, a battalion bearing the 48th's distinctive badges and tartan served with distinction in France and Flanders.

Later, for the Second World War, the regiment raised an overseas battalion that saw action across Sicily, Italy and into northwestern Europe. Today, the 48th Highlanders form part of the 32 Canadian Brigade Group, itself under the 4th Canadian Division's command, continuing a long tradition of service.
