Membership of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry waning, recruitment a challenge
The banquet room of the Chilliwack-Vedder Branch 295 Legion falls silent as the May meeting of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry association is called to order.
The Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, known as the “Patricias” was founded shortly after the start of the first World War officially becoming the first Canadian arms unit to go to battle in the Great War. Following their return from Europe, many started forming groups to keep in touch as they adjusted to their post-war lives with the first annual dinner of the Patricia Club taking place in 1919.“These people are very important to me,” said member Gloria Hartley. “It really is like having a second family.”
