Talk:1st Hussars

Untitled

"In 2005, the regiment ranked seventh among armoured milita regiments." in what? Seniority, quality or something like cookie eating?

Good point. It's seventh in seniority. I'll make an edit. Indefatigable 22:48, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

history

hi, I just added the early history of the regiment. I hope to add the partisipation in th Boar War soon, followed by WWI and WWII. please look over and double check what i've posted so far. I've been using the 'Gallant Hussars' by Michael R. McNorgan for refrence. Mike McGregor (Can) 08:53, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Good work, Mike. Keep it up! You should add a "references" section at the bottom of the article with the publishing info on Gallant Hussars. See Wikipedia:Cite sources/example style for the format to use. Indefatigable 17:30, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

headquaters

article reads: "the regiment's headquarters was moved to London, Ontario, where it has remained to this day."... perhaps should read somthing like: "the regiment's headquarters was moved to London, Ontario, where (with the execption of wartime deployments) it has remained to this day."

ww1

I'm about 1/2 way through the ww1 section. Mike McGregor (Can) 10:01, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

How I hope to develop this artical

• In the WW1 section, I've already outlined the evolution of the orginization of 'B' Squadron, 7 CMR into 'B' squadron, CLH. I plan to outline the participation in combat operations throughout the entire war briefly, and break-out participation at Vimy Ridge and maybe the 100 days...

• interwar years will likely be similar to the Early history section, outlining re-orginzations etc...

• For WWII, I hope to have a similar section to WW1 with Juno beach, Black Sunday and holland broken out in more detail.

• postwar would probably be broken up into pre-Force unification and post... (unless this had little impact on the unit...?)

• then, maybe a section on equipment used, a list of comanders, medal recipiants, etc...

what do you think?

I'm going to try to make a push on this article when i'm off work jan 21-24. I'm not to sure about this unit box thing... maybe just a pic of the Crest like on the other Canadian regiment sites? see: Royal Canadian Regement for example. what do you think?

Battle Honours

Why are only some of the battle honours listed here? I noticed the same problem in other Canadian regimental articles as well. Is it possibly only the emblazoned battle honours are being added to the articles? I think that all the honours should be used, not just some of them.68.146.198.203 21:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

First Canadian Cavalry Regiment (Mechanised) (1 CCR (M))

Is the UK spelling "Mechanised" correct for the time period?
The article does have some British spellings mixed in; no US fortunately.

Text from Sherman Firefly article to work into Normandy section

Just using this to hold some text from the [Sherman Firefly] article that I want to work into the Normandy section

• "Norrey-en-Bessin

One example of this increased firepower was displayed by Lt. G. K. Henry's Firefly during the defence of Norrey-en-Bessin on 9 June against an attack by the 3rd Company of the 12th SS Panzer Regiment of the 12th SS Panzer Division. Determined to capture the village in preparation for a larger offensive to drive the British and Canadians back into the sea, Kurt Meyer ordered 12 Panthers of the 3rd Company and infantry to attack Norrey and drive out the Canadians. The attack got under way at 1300 hours, with the Panthers racing towards the town at full speed, stopping only to fire their guns. They quickly outran their infantry support, which was forced to ground by Allied artillery fire. Within 1,000 m (1,100 yd) of the village, nine standard Shermans of the Canadian 6th Canadian Armoured Regiment opened fire into the advancing Panthers' flanks. Lt. Henry's gunner, Trooper A. Chapman, waited until the Panthers "lined up like ducks in a row" and quickly knocked out five Panthers with just six rounds. The attack was repulsed with the loss of seven of the 12 Panthers."*
