Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians)

A detachment took part in the Fourth Anglo-Ashanti War in 1895, but the rest of the battalion remained in Ireland until moving to Halifax, Canada, in 1898.

520 officers and men embarked from Southampton on the SS Kildonan Castle in early March 1900,[12] returning to Ireland after more than two years in late May 1902.

[17] The 2nd Battalion landed at Saint-Nazaire as part of the 17th Brigade in the 6th Division in September 1914 for service on the Western Front.

[17] The 7th Battalion landed at Le Havre as part of the 47th Brigade in the 16th (Irish) Division in December 1915 for service on the Western Front.

By February 1922 the Malabar Force (which included the Leinsters) under command of Edward Thomas Humphreys had put down the rebellion.

[16] With the simultaneous outbreak of the Irish Civil War conflict some thousands of their ex-servicemen and officers contributed to expanding the Free State government's newly formed National Army.

The silver is on display at Royal Military College of Canada in the Senior Staff Mess and Museum (Fort Frederic).
