Regimental Museum and Archives
The Calgary Highlanders Museum has created one of
five permanent galleries at The Military Museums in Calgary, Alberta across
from the former site of Currie Barracks and Canadian Forces Base Calgary. The
Museum also boasts an extensive archive of documents and artifacts pertaining
to the history of The Calgary Highlanders. The gallery, open for public
display whenever The Military Museums are operating, chronicles the evolution
of the 103rd Regiment (Calgary Rifles), 10th Battalion and The Calgary
Highlanders.
Life size dioramas depict the grim realities of
war and are vivid reminders of the heroism of Canadian soldiers, their
significant battles and achievements. Together with photographs, documents,
medals, weapons and uniforms, the gallery unfolds the history of this proud
regiment through two World Wars, as a source of volunteers for UN and NATO
Missions throughout the world, as a training unit during times of peace, and
in the War on Terror. The links above will take you on a brief Virtual Tour of
the regimental gallery.
