Footnote: The 43rd Regiment (Duke of Cornwall's Own Rifles) during the interwar years was re-organized and re-named on several occasions. In March 1920 it was converted from line infantry to a highland regiment and renamed The Ottawa Regiment (The Duke of Cornwall's Own). The regiment was allocated two battalions, the 1st Battalion (38th Battalion, CEF) and the 2nd Battalion (207th Battalion, CEF) (the 2nd Battalion existed only on paper), as a means of retaining the history and honours of the wartime Canadian Expeditionary Force battalions. In 1922, the 43rd Regiment was renamed The Ottawa Highlanders and in 1933, it was renamed The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa. The designation "M.G." (Machine Gun) was added to the regimental title in 1936. Since 1881, the unit has shared the City of Ottawa's motto "Advance".
