WW1 Royal Highlanders of Canada Soldier Minifigure

United Bricks – Royal Highlanders of Canada – Black Watch Canadian Highlander Minifigure

Bring Canada's rich military history to life with the United Bricks Royal Highlanders of Canada Minifigure. This detailed custom minifigure represents a soldier from the famous Scottish-Canadian Highland regiment now known as The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada.

The History of the Royal Highlanders of Canada

The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada is Canada's senior Highland reserve infantry regiment, with a military tradition dating back to 31 January 1862. On that date, the regiment was established in Montreal as the 5th Battalion, Volunteer Militia Rifles of Canada.

Its formation took place during the American Civil War, when the growing military strength of the United States raised concerns in British North America. Canadian authorities therefore encouraged the establishment of volunteer militia units to strengthen local defence.

Six prominent members of Montreal's Scottish community each organised an infantry company. Eventually, the battalion expanded to eight companies, laying the foundations for a regiment that would become an important part of Canadian military history.

Over the decades, thousands of Canadian volunteers have served with the Black Watch. The regiment participated in defence operations during the Fenian raids of the 19th century and made important contributions during both the First and Second World Wars.

Following 1945, the regiment continued its military service. Black Watch personnel supported NATO operations in Europe and United Nations peacekeeping missions around the world.

The regiment has also assisted Canadians during domestic emergencies, including the devastating January 1998 ice storm (Operation Assistance) and the Quebec floods of 2011, 2017, and 2019 (Operation Lentus).

The Black Watch therefore represents more than 160 years of military tradition, volunteer service, and strong connections to Canada's Scottish heritage.
