The Manitoba Regiment was an infantry regiment of the Non-Permanent Active Militia of the Canadian Militia (now the Canadian Army). In 1936, the regiment was disbanded as a result of a country wide reorganization of the Canadian Militia.[1][2]

History

[edit]

As a result of the Otter Commission, The Manitoba Regiment was created on 15 March 1920, by incorporating the 27th Battalion, CEF, into the post-WWI Canadian Militia.

The regiment was headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[1][2]

On 1 February 1936, The Manitoba Regiment was disbanded along with 13 other regiments as part of the 1936 Canadian Militia reorganization.[1][2][3][4]
