Perpetuations

The Brockville Rifles perpetuate the Battalion of Incorporated Militia of Upper Canada, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of Leeds Militia (1812-15), the 156th Battalion, CEF; and 32nd Battery, Canadian Field Artilley, CEF.

The Brockville Rifles perpetuate units dating to 1796 with the formation of the 1st Battalion Leeds Militia at Elizabethtown (later Brockville). At its peak Leeds County had raised a total of nine battalions. During the War of 1812 regiments that the Brockville Rifles prepetuate were involved with the capture of Ogdensburg and as well the Battle of Chrysler's Farm.^[6]

Lineage

The Brockville Rifles originated in Brockville, Ontario on 5 October 1866, when the 41st Brockville Battalion of Rifles was authorized. It was redesignated the 41st Regiment "Brockville Rifles" on 8 May 1900; The Brockville Rifles on 12 March 1920; and the 2nd (Reserve) Battalion, The Brockville Rifles on 18 March 1942.

The regiment was converted to artillery and redesignated the 60th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment (Brockville Rifles), RCA, on 1 April 1946. On 1 September 1954 it was amalgamated with the 32nd Anti-Tank Battery (Self-Propelled), RCA and redesignated as the 32nd Locating Battery (Brockville Rifles) RCA. On 1 December 1959, it reverted to infantry and was redesignated The Brockville Rifles.^[7]

On 5 October 1866 the 41st Brockville Battalion of Rifles was authorized with six companies located as follows: 1 Company was in Brockville, 2 Company was in Gananoque, 3 Company was in Perth, 4 Company was in Merrickville, 5 Company was in Carleton Place and 6 Company was in Pakenham.

During the Great War on 22 December 1915 the 156th Leeds & Grenville Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force was authorized. The unit moved to England as part of the proposed 5th Division, however pressing needs for troops and reinforcements on the front caused the disbanding of the unit and the men were transferred to other units.^[8]

Following the Great War, the regiment was redisgnated The Brockville Rifles. In April 1926, the Colonel Commandant of the King's Royal Rifle Corps invited the unit to ally with them. Today, following a series of amalgamations within the British Army, The Brockville Rifles are allied with The Rifles.

The regiment mobilized the 1st Battalion, The Brockville Rifles, Canadian Aactive Service Force on 18 March 1942. It served in Canada in a home defence role as part of the 13th Infantry Brigade, 6th Canadian Division, and in Jamaica on garrison duty from 5 August 1944 to 27 March 1946. The battalion was disbanded on 30 April 1946. The 2nd (Reserve) Battalion served on a part-time basis in the Reserve Army at home in Brockville.

The regiment provided No. 2 Company of The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, Canadian Active Service Force for active service on 24 May 1940.

On April 1, 1946, the Brocks were converted and re-designated the 60th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment (Brockville Rifles) RCA. On 1 September 1954, following another amalgamation, the Brocks were yet again converted, this time to the 32nd Locating Battery (Brockville Rifles) RCA. In December 1959, the regiment reverted to infantry once again and adopted its current designation as The Brockville Rifles.

As the training schedule closely mirrors academic calendars, the Army Reserve is well suited to High School, College, and University students.
