THE SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN REGIMENT

The South Saskatchewan Regiment originated in Regina on 3 July 1905 as a regiment of infantry.
During the First World War it served as the 152nd Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force and
was awarded two Battle Honours. After several name changes following the First World War,
it became the South Saskatchewan Regiment on 15 December 1935
and operated in the Estevan and Weyburn area.

With the outbreak of the Second World War the Regiment was mobilized on 1 September 1939. It embarked for
England in December 1940. In Europe it served with the 6th Brigade, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. It first
saw action in the 19 August 1942 Dieppe Raid for which Commanding Officer LCol Cecil Merrit was
awarded the Victoria Cross. It then landed again in France on 8 July 1944 and participated in the
Battle of Normandy. As part of the 1st Canadian Army, it fought along the Channel ports and into
Belgium and the Netherlands. There it was involved in the bitter Battle of the Scheldt
and the liberation of the Netherlands, followed by action in Germany at the time
of surrender of German forces. The South Saskatchewan
Regiment was awarded 18 Battle Honours.

A total of 475 members of the Regiment lost their lives in the Second World War
and lie buried in Commonwealth War Graves Cemeteries in Europe.
Many more suffered physical and psychological wounds.
