History of a Regiment |
|
Scottish-born Canadian businessman Donald Smith, 1st
Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, was co-founder of the
Canadian Pacific Railway and the man who drove CP's last
spike. A man of many interests and talents, in 1900 at
his own expense he raised and equipped "Strathcona's
Horse" for service in the South African War. CP has a
continuing connection with the regiment. |
