This book presents a riveting account of the Governor General's Body Guard, an elite Canadian military regiment that has stood as a symbol of national pride and selfless service for over a century. It traces the regiment's origins to the early days of Upper Canada, when a group of bold settlers, many of whom had served in the Loyalist cause during the Revolutionary War, formed a volunteer militia to protect their new homeland.
