The regiment traces its lineage to July 3, 1905, when an infantry regiment was authorized in the
District of Assiniboia and the
District of Saskatchewan, which later that year became the province of
Saskatchewan. The regiment was eventually organized as the 95th Saskatchewan Rifles, in
Regina. After the
First World War the 95th merged with the 60th Rifles of Canada (in
Moose Jaw) to become the South Saskatchewan Regiment, which expanded to five battalions with the creation of units in
Weyburn (3rd Battalion),
Moosomin (4th Battalion) and
Estevan (5th Battalion). In 1924, each of the battalions became a distinct regiment, and the name "South Saskatchewan Regiment" went out of use. In the 1936 reorganization of the Militia,
The Weyburn Regiment and
The Saskatchewan Border Regiment (in Estevan) re-amalgamated into a new South Saskatchewan Regiment. The regiment was reduced to nil strength and placed in the Supplementary Order of Battle on 1 September 1968. The Queen's and Regimental Colours were deposited at Estevan Comprehensive School in 1969. ==Lineage==
