in the title, the regiment is not the most senior armoured unit. With the militia reorganization of 1872, the senior or only cavalry regiment within a Militia District adopted the numerical designation of that district. Southwestern Ontario comprised Military District No. 1, hence the original designation as the 1st Regiment of Cavalry. The unit was renamed 1st Hussars in 1892 and because a British hussar unit numbered "1" never existed, it was unnecessary to add a 'Canada' or 'Canadian' modifier. Following the Second World War, because of wartime and earlier conversion to armour of some more senior infantry regiments, the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps decided that seniority would be determined by the date of becoming a regiment, regardless of the corps in which the unit was raised. Regular Force regiments take precedence, and seniority among themselves by the date they became part of the Regular Force.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 1st Hussars is placed seventh in the order of seniority of militia armoured regiments.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_history">Early history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1st_Hussars&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Early history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Foundation_and_organisation">Foundation and organisation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1st_Hussars&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Foundation and organisation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The 1st Hussars traces its roots to the formation of the <a href="/wiki/St._Thomas,_Ontario" title="St. Thomas, Ontario">St. Thomas</a> <a href="/wiki/Troop" title="Troop">Troop</a> of Volunteer Militia <a href="/wiki/Cavalry" title="Cavalry">Cavalry</a> in March 1856 and the First Troop of Volunteer Militia Cavalry of London in July of the same year.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:2_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:3_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1863, these units were redesignated the St. Thomas Troop of Cavalry and the London Troop of Cavalry, respectively.

Although they were unsuccessful in capturing the wagons, they managed to take some 20 prisoners. </p><p>The CLH moved into the Canal Du Nord area on the night of 26 September to 27 September. Some elements of the regiment performed costly reconnaissance patrols in the area while the unit waited in reserve just behind the lines for a breakthrough that the cavalry could exploit. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Escaudoeuvres_and_Erclin_River">Escaudoeuvres and Erclin River</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1st_Hussars&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Escaudoeuvres and Erclin River"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On 9 October 1918, the Canadian Corps attacked the Germans near the French village of Escaudoeuvres on the L'Escaut Canal (north-east of <a href="/wiki/Cambrai" title="Cambrai">Cambrai</a>). By this point, the battlefield was becoming more fluid, and cavalry played a more important role during operations. On the 9th, the CLH was ordered to occupy two pieces of high ground in front of 5 Canadian Infantry Brigade's position. Just after noon, 'B' Squadron CLH was ordered forward with 'A' and 'C' Squadrons in support. The troops advanced across the canal and approached a rail line that ran along the ridge on the far bank. As the troops closed on the rail line, machine-guns opened up on the right hitting several men and horses. The situation on the left of the advance developed in a similar fashion with MGs opening up as the troopers crested the rail embankment. One of the German MGs was put out of action allowing a position to be established and Hotchkiss Machine guns to be set up on the rail embankment. One troop to outflank the remaining German MGs, but they were unsuccessful. The position was held and passed on to the 25th Battalion, CEF and the CLH troops retired. One <a href="/wiki/Non-commissioned_officer" title="Non-commissioned officer">non-commissioned officer</a> (William Henry Wells) was killed and 11 men were wounded in the action which gained 2500 meters of ground and inflicted at least 20 casualties on the Germans and captured two German MGs. </p><p>The next day the First Hussars participated in an action that saw the last of the few cavalry charges in Canadian history. The Canadian Corps continued to advance on the far bank of the canal. The village of Naves was captured by the 19th Battalion, CEF, which continued to capture a ridgeline to the east. The objective for 'A' and 'C' Squadrons of the CLH was to capture a portion of sunken road on the ridgeline and continue on to take a hill overlooking the village of Iwuy . 'B' Squadron was held in reserve. 'A' and 'C' Squadrons forded the Erclin River and charged up the hill towards the sunken road. The charge resulted in 23 dead troopers and 66 dead horses, but despite the losses, the hill was taken and held. </p><p>As the <a href="/wiki/Canada%27s_Hundred_Days" title="Canada's Hundred Days">Hundred Day's offensive</a> continued, the 1st Hussars and rest of the CLH found itself often leading the advance, and letting the infantry pass through when resistance was met. </p><p>Members of the 1st Hussars also participated in the following actions, among others: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Ypres" title="Second Battle of Ypres">Second Battle of Ypres</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Flers-Courcelette" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Flers-Courcelette">Battle of Flers-Courcelette</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Hill_70" title="Battle of Hill 70">Battle of Hill 70</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Passchendaele" title="Battle of Passchendaele">Battle of Passchendaele</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Second_World_War">Second World War</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1st_Hussars&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Second World War"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mobilization_and_deployment_2">Mobilization and deployment</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1st_Hussars&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Mobilization and deployment"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>"Defence Scheme Number 3" was implemented on 1 September 1939 and saw the raising of the <a href="/wiki/1st_Canadian_Division" title="1st Canadian Division">1st Canadian Division</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Canadian_Active_Service_Force&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Canadian Active Service Force (page does not exist)">Canadian Active Service Force</a>.

href="/wiki/Guidon_(heraldic_flag)" class="mw-redirect" title="Guidon (heraldic flag)">guidon</a> was presented in 1967 by Queen Elizabeth II during a ceremony on Parliament Hill. At the centre of the guidon is the regimental badge depicting the White Horse of Hanover, galloping, with forelegs raised, above a Cornet surrounded by the regiments name "FIRST HUSSARS". The badge is surrounded by the National Wreath of maple leaves, with the regiment's motto, "HODIE NON CRAS" below. The first canton of the guidon contains the regiment's abbreviated name "1H". The second and third cantons again contain the <a href="/wiki/White_Horse_of_Hanover" class="mw-redirect" title="White Horse of Hanover">White Horse of Hanover</a>, and the fourth canton contains the cypher of Queen Elizabeth II "EIIR". The guidon is also emblazoned with 17 of the 34 battle honours awarded to the regiment.
