Essex Scottish Regiment

[1][2] During World War II the regiment was among the first Canadian units to see combat in the European theatre during the invasion of Dieppe.

By the end of The Dieppe Raid, the Essex Scottish Regiment had suffered 121 fatal casualties, with many others wounded and captured.

The Essex Scottish later participated in Operation Atlantic and was slaughtered attempting to take Verrières Ridge on July 21.

[1][2] The Essex Scottish before amalgamation held its final order of precedence as 40.

[3] The Essex Scottish were allied to The Essex Regiment and were kitted with a balmoral with red and white diced border, scarlet doublet, white sporran with two black points, red and black hose, spats with black buttons, blue shoulder straps with white cross stripes and piping with full dress only for pipers and drummers, who also wore a feather bonnet with white hackle.
