A few of Canada's various Regiments owe their beginning to deep pockets of a wealthy patriot. At the start of WW1,Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry began due to A. Hamilton Gault (see http://www.ppcli.com/main_file.php/history/25/ ) Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadian) was raised by ... Lord Strathcona. Donald Smith equipped them for the Boer war by himself.(a la http://www.strathconas.ca/bmenu_history.php )
We've got a great and rich military history, despite what you see on CBC, and those of us serving are proud of that.
