Re-enacted Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry

1939-1945

 

Welcome to the PPCLI re-enactment unit's website. This unit is a project of the Canadian Military Heritage Society , a non-profit charitable organization, and not related to the presently serving PPCLI battalions of the Canadian Armed Forces. However, kind permission has been given by the PPCLI to portray this dedicated and proud serving unit as a CMHS living history project.

The  PPCLI WW2 unit travels throughout Ontario, New Your, PA, and Ohio representing the historical contributions the regiment contributed during the years of World War Two.
