Footnote: The 42nd Field Artillery Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish), Royal Canadian Artillery originated on October 5, 1866 in Brockville, Ontario, as the 42nd "Brockville Battalion of Infantry". It was re-designated December 1, 1897 as the 42nd "Lanark and Renfrew" Battalion of Infantry; re-designated May 8, 1900 as the 42nd Lanark and Renfrew Regiment; re-designated March 12, 1920 as The Lanark and Renfrew Regiment; re-designated July 15, 1927 as The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment; re-designated November 7, 1940 as the 2nd (Reserve) Battalion, The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment; and re-designated September 15, 1944 The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment (Reserve). The regiment was converted April 1, 1946 to air defence artillery and redesignated as the 59th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish), RCA; converted December 1, 1959 to infantry and re-designated as The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment; converted November 10, 1992 to artillery air defence and re-designated as the 1st Air Defence Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish), RCA; converted 2006 to field artillery, retaining its designation. It was re-designated January 26, 2011 as the 42nd Field Artillery Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish), RCA. The regiment did not initially mobilize for the Second World War during the general activation of units beginning in August 1939. In July 1944, the 5th Canadian (Armoured) Division perceived it was deficient in infantry. The 12th Canadian Infantry Brigade was created out of units already in existence. One unit of the new brigade was the Motor battalion of the division, a second was a re-equipped reconnaissance battalion from the 1st Canadian Infantry Division, and a third unit was created from anti-aircraft assets, no longer required due to Allied aerial superiority. This unit petitioned The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish for permission to use their name and regimental insignia, feeling it was more appropriate for an infantry battalion. Permission was granted, and The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish served in the 12th Brigade until March 1945. After all Canadian forces in Italy were repatriated to the command of 1st Canadian Army in North-west Europe, the brigade was dissolved, the units therein returned to their former roles, and the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish battalion was returned to its former duties and designation.
