The PPCLI will celebrate its 100th anniversary in August of 2014 we feel there should be a coin released honouring the 100th anniversary of the PPCLI (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) & all the men and women who serve & have served our country past & present that are members of the PPCLI.
Previous coins have been issued honouring the 100th anniversaries of The Montreal Canadiens & Saskatchewan Roughriders and also one for the 100th Grey Cup this past year.
In 2010 the Navy celebrated it's Centennial and a coin was released to honour that milestone.
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI, generally referred to as The Patricias is one of the three Regular Force infantry regiments of the Canadian Army. The regiment is composed of four battalions including a Primary Reserve battalion, for a total of 2,000 soldiers.
The PPCLI is the main lodger unit of Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Edmonton in Alberta and CFB Shilo in Manitoba, and belongs to Land Force Western Area; as such it is the "local" regular infantry regiment for much of western Canada. The Loyal Edmonton Regiment is the reserve battalion of the regiment and carries the designation '4th Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry'.

ReplyDeleteI believe that my brothers in the PPCLI have more than earned the right to have a coin minted commemorating our great achievement of attaining 100 years of defending Canada.
ReplyDeleteThe PPCLI`s 100th Anniversary Regimental Plan states;
ReplyDelete" In conjunction with the Royal Canadian Mint or the Bank of Canada, either a Canadian coin or Canadian note featuring the Regiment and other Regiments who are sharing the Anniversary year."
So their is something in the works !!
Also; " In conjunction with Canada Post, develop an Anniversary stamp & first day cover for issue March 2012."
FYI.. The 1917 one dollar note has an image of Lady Patrica..her father was the govenor General of Canada from 1911 to 1916.
