These engravings showcased not only their distinguished appearance but also their unwavering spirit to protect their regiment with utmost devotion. Among these brave souls stood The 100th (Prince of Wales Royal Canadian) Regiment of the Line, depicted in another captivating engraving. Their resolute determination echoed through time, leaving an indelible mark on history. Even mascots like Fionn hesitated before embarking on his duties as mascot for the 1st battalion.
