“The 1st Battalion, The Perth Regiment, was mobilized 1 September 1939 for service in the\u00a0World War II<\/a>. The 1st Battalion embarked for Great Britain on 9 October 1941. It landed in Italy on 8 November 1943, as part of the\u00a011th Infantry Brigade<\/a>,\u00a05th Canadian Division<\/a>. The 1st Battalion transferred with the\u00a0I Canadian Corps<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0North-West Europe<\/a>\u00a0in March 1945, where it fought until the end of the war. It returned home under command of a Perth militia officer, Lt Col MW Andrew and was disbanded on January 31, 1946.<\/p>\n

The 2nd (Reserve) Battalion, headquartered in Stratford, was authorized in 1940 and trained recruits for the 1st Battalion.<\/p>\n

Perth Regimental History: 1939 – 1944<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The following is an excerpt from an article entitled “A Short History of The Perth Regiment 1939 -1945”, taken from\u00a0The Perthonian, Issue No. 3, August 1945<\/b>. The Perthonian was a weekly regimental newspaper printed overseas while awaiting transport home to Canada. Editing comments are included in square brackets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Then came the big day when the regiment embarked for Northern Ireland, so we were told. In reality, and we found out later, we were on our way to Italy. On Nov. 8th 1943, we landed at Naples after an eventful voyage, [On Nov. 6th the convoy was attacked by torpedo bombers. The John Ericsson was not damaged, but the S.S. Santa Elena carrying 1800 Canadians, including 121 Canadian Nursing Sisters of No. 14 Canadian General Hospital, was torpedoed and sunk. There was no reported Canadian loss of life. Two other ships, not carrying Canadians were also sunk.] and proceeded to a small village near Naples, where we remained for about ten days. Here we received some ancient and honourable vehicles and equipment that had seen service with the English 7th Armd Div from El Alamain through the North African campaign. [The original author does not do justice to the word ancient, or to the resulting controversy. The equipment received was completely inadequate, the vehicles were worn out, only two wheel drive, and the war establishment of the British 7th Armoured Division was significantly different from the Canadian 5th. The lack of vehicles would delay the formation of the 1st Canadian Corp, as vehicles had to be dispatched from England.] Then came the long trek across Italy to the 8th Army front bordering the Adriatic. After Christmas, preparations were made for our move to the battlefront a short distance north of Ortona. On 17th Jan 1944, The Perth Regiment saw its first action at the Battle of The Arielli River<\/a>. \u00a0 [<\/i><\/span>See Map 1: The Attack Towards the Arielli – 17th January 1944<\/span><\/a>] On the night of 17th-18th Jan. 1944, after a day long battle against great odds, the Regiment was withdrawn to an area near Lanciano, and from there, took up a sector of the winter line opposite Orsogna. [For un-blooded troops the task set was formidable. The Perths were to attack against heavily defended positions manned by seasoned German troops of the 1st Para Division. This was the only time during the Second World War that the Perths failed to take an objective.] Then came the bitter weary weeks of winter; May 1944. [The original author does not elaborate on this period, but suffice it to say that the front stagnated into a muddy wallow, reminiscent of the battle fields of WWI. In March the Regiment was withdrawn from the line for a period of training before being transferred to defensive positions near Cassino. It was also during this time that one of the greatest Perth tragedies occurred. On Feb. 5, a single German mortar bomb fell, hitting a ledge outside a cave where men where queuing for their evening meal. If this one in a million shot would have landed either two feet long or short it would have exploded harmlessly. Baker Company suffered 37 casualties; 14 dead, 23 wounded.]\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Regiment began it\u2019s [sic] rapid trek with the 5th Cnd Armd Div through the Hitler Line. [<\/span>See Map 2: The Italian Front – 11 May 1944<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>Map 3: The Breakout from the Hitler line – 24-28 May 1944<\/span><\/a>.] The Melfa River was crossed and Ceprano taken on May 27th, 1944. [During this time the Perths were part of the Eighth Army Spearhead.] Continuing on the Regiment took Pofi and Arnara on 29th and 30th of May respectively. [<\/span>See Map 4: Ceprano to Frosinone<\/span><\/a>.] Then a move back and a welcome rest for a few days before intensive training at Caiazzo.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Between late 1943 and early 1945, the Perth Regiment was involved in battles in the area shown above. Corporal Robert James Adair and Private Kenneth Alexander Adair, brothers from Strathroy, were there.<\/p>\n

The Regiment was one of the Allied forces pushing the German Armies backward to the north east toward Rome during this time. \u00a0Monte Cassino (marked at the red Gustav Line) was liberated from German control by May 18th. \u00a0The Perth Regiment, and the Adair brothers, helped push the Germans along the Liri River valley, past the Hitler Line<\/a> (green on the map).<\/p>\n

\"Perth.Hitler.Line.May24-28.1944\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By May 18, 1944, the Germans had been forced out of Monte Cassino\u00a0and were re-grouping behind the Hitler Line to the northwest, toward Rome. On the 26th of May, 1944, the Perth Regiment was part of the Allied forces pushing the Germans backward along the path of the red line on the map above. It was during fierce fighting that day that Corporal Robert James Adair of Strathroy was killed.<\/span><\/p>\n

“About the end of July the Division began to move about as part of a deceptive plan preparatory to attacking the Gothic Line. [They were ordered to remove all shoulder and divisional battle dress insignia, cap badges, and all vehicles had TAC signs removed.] [See Map 5: Through The Gothic Line – 31 August 1944<\/a>.] On the night of 31st Aug. 1944, the 11th Bde was committed, and the crossing of the Foglia River to Hill 111, together with the capture of Hill 204, and the holding of this feature despite desperate counter attacks, will live in the history of the Regiment as one of it\u2019s [sic] epic battles. It was there that Lt.Col. W.W. Reid won the D.S.O. [On the night of September 1, both the German 26th Panzer Regiment and 4th Parachute Regiment made repeated counter attacks to dislodge the toe hold made in the Gothic Line. Bitter hand to hand fighting ensued with trenches changing hands several times. The morning saw the Perths still there.] The Perth Regiment was the first regiment of the Eight Army to crack the Gothic Line. This was only the begining [sic]. The brigade moved up to the Besanigo feature inland from Cattolica, and there held a very harassed position, while 5 Corps tried to capture Coriano ridge, the feature dominating our advance northward. [See Map 6: The Gothic Line and Rimini Line – 26 August -22 September 1944<\/a>.]The 5th Armd Div was then given the task of capturing Coriano, with 11th Bde making a night attack on the feature. [See Map 7: The Advance to Rimini 3-22 September 1944<\/a>.] On the night of 13th Sept. 1944 began the classic battle of Coriano. The Perths were the first regiment on their objective, and despite counter attacks by enemy tanks and infantry, the position was held. Pure guts of the PIAT gunners drove off the enemy tanks which retreated from the feature.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Another period of rest, and then the advance to the Rubicon, where the Regiment suffered severe casualties from intensive enemy shelling. [On Sept. 28th the Perths were to attack across the Rubicon, however the autumn rains began the day before, making any attempt to cross the river impossible. In the three days the Perths waited on the banks of the river, 67 casualties were reported from enemy shell fire. After a 48 hour break from the line, the Perths were again ordered up to cross the river, and again due to intense rains, no attack was possible. Another 33 casualties were reported. On October 8th the Perths retired from the line and plans were canceled to cross the river.]<\/em><\/p>\n

More rest, and then the advance began on 1st Dec. 1944 to cut off the enemy holding Highway 16, north of Ravenna, the 11th Bde was given the task of cutting the highway just south of Mezzano. On 5th Dec. 1944 in a lightning dash that outguessed the enemy, The Perth Regiment cut the highway, and captured one of the important bridges intact. On 6th Dec. 1944 dozens of prisoners fell to patrols, in mopping up operations. The campaign was now going “All out”. Another river, The Lamone, lay ahead, but on the night of 10th Dec. 1944, the Perth Regiment crossed the river and secured the town of Borghia Villa Nova. [See Map 8: The Lamone River, Borgo De Villanova and the Fosso Munio – 10-21 December 1944<\/a>.] Difficult fighting was encountered as the enemy was strongly positioned along the highway north of the town, and the intersecting Fossas-Vetro and Vecchio [Rivers]. Again The Perths were completely successful. Another river to cross, the Munio – small in itself, but of great importance to the enemy because it formed the outer defense of the Senio River Line. On the night of 20th Dec. 1944, The Regiment began it\u2019s [sic] attack on the Munio. Here it met the famous Kesselring Machine-gun Battalion. The crossing was made against tremendous odds – one company was successful, and despite open flanks due to the failure on right and left, it held on against tremendous counter attacks. The remainder of the Regiment, and all available support of the Division fought with great determination to keep the company secure.<\/strong><\/em> [It was here that Private Kenneth Alexander Adair of Strathroy was killed.]<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Major Robert Cole won the D.S.O. in this engagement. By evening of the following day Kesselring\u2019s pride withdrew to the line of the Senio, and the Regiment advanced to the very dyke of that river, cleared the bank, and sat down to the task of holding it, while the rest of the formation conformed. Christmas dinner was excellent but had to be served in grim surroundings. However, shortly afterwards, the Regiment withdrew for a much needed and deserved rest to Ravenna.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Perths would remain in Europe until January 1946. They would return on the Queen Elizabeth and dock in New York on January 14th 1946. At its zenith the Regiment consisted of 1,047 all ranks, May 30th, 1945. On January 16th 1946, the Perths, 13 officers and 354 other ranks would detrain in Stratford. The war had ended.\u00a0<\/span>261 Perths would make theSupreme Sacrifice.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The Perth Regiment of Canada was awarded 10 primary battle honours and 4 secondary battle honours for their service during WWII.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
