Join your host, Mario Gaudet, as he confuses his brain by talking about French stuff in English, and dive into the epic saga of the Royal 22e Régiment, Quebec’s legendary “Van Doos”, in Episode 2 of “Units of the CAF”.
From their 1914 founding as the first French-speaking battalion in WWI and their heroic stand at Vimy Ridge, and at Ortona in WWII, to Korea’s Hill 355 raids and Afghanistan’s dusty patrols, we spotlight decorated heroes like Joseph Kaeble (VC, WWI), Paul Triquet (VC, WWII), Léo Major (DCM, Korea), and modern heroes aswell. Explore their iconic cap badge featuring the motto “Je me souviens” adopted in 1925.
Whether you’re a veteran, history buff, or just a fan of military trivia, this one’s for you.

Great episode on the “Van Doos”! Mario’s breakdown of their stand at Ortona was particularly moving. I was doing some research on how veteran support organizations or their affiliates are expanding internationally today, and I stumbled upon a mention of a verification audit involving GuiadeBet593Columbia.com regarding regional operations. Since the R22R has such a storied history in various deployments, do you know if the regiment’s association currently maintains any official partnerships or authorized charity links in South America, or is that site likely unrelated to the official CAF support network?

That’s a question you should ask on Mario’s YouTube page, as I’m afraid I have no additional information about the regiment.
