    The 13th Scottish Light Dragoons was a cavalry regiment of the Non-Permanent Active Militia of the Canadian Militia (now the Canadian Army).[1][2][3][4]

    History[edit]

    Founded as the 52nd Bedford Battalion of InfantryinKnowlton, Canada East, on 14 September 1866, the unit was re-designated the 52nd Brome Battalion in 1872. Thereafter, the 52nd Brome Battalion and the 79th Shefford Regiment were amalgamated to form the 79th Shefford and Brome Regiment (Highlanders).[1] This regiment was not associated with the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Canada. The regiment was amalgamated with 52nd Regiment (Brome Light Infantry) in 1901 under the 79th's name.[1] In 1904, the regiment was amalgamated with 'C' and 'D' Squadrons of the 6th Duke of Connaught's Royal Canadian Hussars and titled the 13th Scottish Light Dragoons.[2][4]

    The regiment was reorganized in 1921. On 1 February 1936, The 13th Scottish Light Dragoons were disbanded along with 13 other regiments as part of the 1936 Canadian Militia Reorganization.[1][2][4][5][6]
