Our RSM , who is now deceased, was with the regiment in Italy and Holland in WW II. We have an active association of ex Hussars totalling about 800 members from across Canada and there are about 3 reunions each year. In 1998 we celebrated our 150th year.
I was in B Squadron and my colonel was Otty Corbet from Sussex.
In later years the Regiment was Active force under the name of 8th Canadian ( Princess Louise's) Hussars with three squadrons of militia. Moncton -A; Sussex:-B Sackville -C and Hampton-HQ .
In 1998 the regiment reverted back to militia status.
"
