The 43rd Battle Honour in order for The Regiment and awarded as such when the WWII and Korea Battle Honours were awarded to The Regiment.

It is entitled to be borne on the Colours.

The Hitler Line was the name that most Military Historians called the main German defensive position in the Liri Valley. The Germans in fact called it The Senger-Reigel named after a German Corps Commander because Hitler refused his name to be allowed to be used.

The Hitler Line was the climax of the fighting in the Liri Valley in Central Italy.

The Canadian 1st Division was given the task of smashing the Hitler Line after breaking out of the Liri Valley.

The RCR task was to occupy the positions taken by the 48th Highlander in the Hitler Line and push forward to take the high feature.

On 22 May, 1944 the attack commenced and late night 23 May the objective was taken along with 4 German prisoners manning an anti-tank gun.

Immediately The RCR pushed forward and at 0630 hrs 24 May, 1944 Lt Rich climbed up the church tower in Pontecorvo and rang the bells to let everyone know the town was taken and the Hitler Line was breached.

During the day one soldier was killed by enemy shell fire.

The 2nd Canadian Brigade proceeded to clear the Line and Hitler Line had fallen.

The Liri Valley offensive was a success but it had cost The Regiment 25 killed and 60 wounded.
