PPCLI (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, sometimes the
'Princess Pats') are one of Canada's Regular Ground Forces regiments. I
believe they were formed at the start of WW1, and I know they were
unique
at the time because they recruited from across Canada, as opposed to the
usual regional recruiting pattern.

These days they're based in Western Canada - I think two battalions in
Winnipeg & one in Edmonton. We used to have a battalion here in
Victoria.

PPCLI, the RCR (Royal Canadian Regt) & the Van Doos (can't remember
their
formal French title) are Canada's three standing Regular Regiments.

TomB knows more about this than I do, though.
