sorry,
One more thing from the Calgary Highlanders website:
Timeline
*
1 April 1910: 103rd Regiment (Calgary Rifles) authorized
o
September 1914: 10th Battalion, C.E.F. created
o
15 September 1920: 10th Battalion, C.E.F. officially disbanded
*
15 March 1920: Redesignated The Calgary Regiment
*
15 September 1921: 1st Battalion becomes 1st Battalion, The Calgary Highlanders, The Calgary Regiment
*
15 May 1924: reorganized as The Calgary Highlanders
o
1 September 1939: The Calgary Highlanders, C.A.S.F. mobilized
o
1940 redesignated 1st Battalion, The Calgary Highlanders
o
1940 Militia unit redesignated 2nd Battalion, The Calgary Highlanders
o
15 December 1945: 1st Battalion, The Calgary Highlanders disbanded
o
2nd Battalion redesignated The Calgary Highlanders
Also when the regiment was re designated The Calgary Highlanders in the 1920's, they formed an official allegiance with the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders over in Scotland, and adopted their uniform with the exception of the cap badge, which was a culmination of the new regiment and that of the 10th Bn Cef.
That may clear some things up.
Cheers,
Chad
