LCol J.F. Gillis
Commander of the 2nd
Battalion, The Nova
Scotia Highlanders
(Cape Breton)
Following the First World War, the Militia was re-organized and on April 1, 1920. The Unit was redesignated The Cape Breton Highlanders which was to perpetuate the 94th Regiment, 85th and 185th Battalions.
On April 1, 1932 following a request from the Regiment, permission was granted for the Cape Breton Highlanders to adopt the uniform, with the exception of the regimental badge of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's), thus cementing the 94th's earlier relationship with that famous British regiment.
Following the Second World War, the unit resumed its militia status. In 1954, along with Nova Scotia's two other Highland Regiments, they were amalgamated to form a single unit. On September 15th, the Cape Breton Highlanders Battalion was thus designated 2nd Battalion, The Nova Scotia Highlanders and on June 21, 1955 2nd Battalion, The Nova Scotia Highlanders (Cape Breton).
