Battalion Origins
On 1 Octo­ber 1954, The Oxford Rifles and The Cana­dian Fusiliers (City of Lon­don Reg­i­ment) (MG) were amal­ga­mated to form “The Lon­don and Oxford Fusiliers (3rd Bat­tal­ion, The Royal Cana­dian Reg­i­ment). The unit’s name changed on 25 Apr 1958 to the “3rd Bat­tal­ion, The Royal Cana­dian Reg­i­ment (Lon­don and Oxford Fusiliers) and again in 1965 to the “3rd Bat­tal­ion, The Royal Cana­dian Reg­i­ment.” On 22 May 1970 the battalion designation was changed to the “4th Bat­tal­ion” on the cre­ation of a new 3rd Bat­tal­ion in the Reg­u­lar Force.
