Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry was founded for service in the First World War on August 10, 1914, and paraded for the first time at Lansdowne Park, Ottawa, Ontario, on August 23, 1914. Hamilton Gault, a prominent Montreal businessman, raised the regiment out of his own funds, making the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry the last privately raised regiment in Canada.

In 1913, this land passed into the hands of Brigadier Andrew Hamilton Gault. He built a large stone house named ‘Gault House’ on the shore of the lake in 1957. Once it was finished, he lived there a mere three weeks before he died on 28 November 1958. The house still exists today and is used as a reception hall. 

Brigadier Gault donated his land to McGill University and a cairn on the property was dedicated in his honour. In keeping with his wishes, the beauties and amenities of the land are preserved for learning. McGill University has created 1,000 hectares of natural environment in the St. Lawrence Valley. In 2000, the Gault Estate was officially renamed the Gault Nature Reserve.

Four years after the end of the First World War, Brigadier-General Andrew Hamilton Gault, owner of the mountain, had a monument erected to honour the residents of Mont-Saint-Hilaire who had fought in that terrible conflict. The monument, measuring four meters high, is made of reddish rubble stone assembled with cement of the same colour; it was erected along the chemin des Patriotes, in front of the parish church. The memorial not only honoured the residents of Saint-Hilaire who had participated in the war of 1914-18, but also had a practical role as a public drinking fountain for horses, dogs and humans. An explanatory plaque bearing the date 1922 reminded the passers-by of the monument’s function and its donor’s name. The structure was crowned with a war trophy, a German machine gun, symbol of the triumph of the Allied forces over the Kaiser’s army. The Gault Monument fell down in the ditch and was buried at the time when Father Forest was parish priest (1948-1965). The plaque has disappeared. It indicated 1922. The machine gun is now on Léopold Côté’s lawn. Dick Bernard blew up the monument because the names of some veterans had been omitted. He was acquitted because of lack of evidence (information confirmed by Gaston Baril in October 1998). There is also a second trophy, silent witness to the First World War, a big calibre mortar (230 mm) with a 1.24 m cannon, discreetly immobilized on a concrete shaft beside the federal wharf, near the Richelieu River.
