The 100th (Prince of Wales Royal Canadian) Regiment of the Line, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The 100th (Prince of Wales Royal Canadian) Regiment of the Line, 1858. We have recently had two interesting arrivals to the shores of England - the first and second detachments of a new regiment of the Line formed in Canada. When the mother country was under the pressure of the great Indian rebellion Canada offered to raise a regiment and place it at the disposal of the Government. The offer was cordially accepted, and in an incredibly short space of time a regiment, recruited entirely in Canada, was enrolled and completed...it is numbered the Hundredth Regiment of Foot, and is inscribed in full as the Prince of Wales Royal Canadian Regiment, under which designation it is to form part of the regular infantry of the Army. The peculiarity of this creation is that it is a regiment raised in the colonies from the colonial population, and yet enrolled among the regular battalions of the Army for indiscriminate service in any part of the world... No instance of this kind has ever, we think, occurred before...A few weeks ago the first detachment of the 100th Regiment, consisting of nearly 500 men, arrived...at Liverpool, from Quebec, and proceeded at once to Shorncliffe Camp'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
