Item Description
Original Item: Only One Set Available. This uniform set is simply exquisite and would be a wonderful addition to any military memorabilia collection. It was worn by a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) bandsman in the Fusiliers Mont-Royal, and the tunic belonged to Corporal "R. Goyer". We tried to find out more information about his service record, but unfortunately, we couldn't find anything. However, this presents a great opportunity for further research.
The tunic is meticulously crafted with all buttons and the correct insignia on the cuff style collar. The overall condition is very good, considering its age. It has some scattered moth nips, but they are not too damaging and do not detract from its beauty.
The tunic is a testament to the precision and craftsmanship of military uniforms from the past. It represents a time when attention to detail and quality were paramount. The intricate design and attention to detail on the tunic are simply breathtaking. It's a truly remarkable piece of history that deserves to be cherished and preserved for future generations.
A wonderful example ready for further research and display.

Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal originated in Montreal, Quebec on 18 June 1869 as The Mount Royal Rifles. It was redesignated as the 65th Battalion, Mount Royal Rifles on 5 November 1869, as the 65th Regiment "Mount Royal Rifles" on 8 May 1900 as the 65th Regiment "Carabiniers Mont-Royal" on 1 August 1902, as Les Carabiniers Mont-Royal on 29 March 1920, as Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal on 15 April 1931, as the 2nd (Reserve) Battalion, Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal on 7 November 1940 and finally as Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal on 15 November 1945.
Upon redesignation as Les Carabiniers Mont-Royal on 29 March 1920 it was organized as a two-battalion regiment with the 1st Battalion (perpetuating the 69th Battalion (Canadien-Français), CEF) on the Non-Permanent Active Militia order of battle, and the 2nd Battalion (perpetuating the 150th Battalion (Carabiniers Mont-Royal), CEF) on the Reserve order of battle. The reserve unit was disbanded on 14 December 1936.
On 4 May 1951, Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal mobilized two temporary Active Force companies designated "E" and "F" Company. "E" Company was reduced to nil strength upon its personnel being incorporated into the 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion (later the 3rd Battalion, The Canadian Guards) for service in Germany with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It was disbanded on 29 July 1953. "F" Company was initially used as a reinforcement pool for "E" Company. On 15 May 1952, it was reduced to nil strength, upon its personnel being absorbed by the newly formed 2nd Canadian Infantry Battalion (later the 4th Battalion, The Canadian Guards) for service in Korea with the United Nations. "F" Company was disbanded on 29 July 1953.
