Introduction
In support of our 100 years of service commemoration, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light
Infantry has been authorized to wear the historical white on red shoulder insignia. Fig 1.
Regaining this lost tradition will be amongst the most memorable of all 100th Commemoration
events. All serving members of the Regiment (LCol and below and Tier 4 CWO and below) will
be authorized to wear the shoulder insignia on their DEUs from 07 Aug 2013 to 01 June 2015.
