Royal Hamilton Light Infantry Heritage Museum

The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry – is the oldest combat infantry regiment in the Hamilton-Burlington area and the only one with a presence in both cities. The infantry’s role is the most complex and demanding of all combat roles and the light infantry role is the most demanding within the infantry. With continuous heritage stretching back to 1862, no other unit in Hamilton and Burlington comes close to matching the history, combat record and community presence of “the Rileys”. Day and night, on foot or in the air, rain, sun or snow, in the high Arctic, in mountains, jungle or desert, the RHLI are doing it all!
