An Entity of Type: Rifle Regiment, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Les Voltigeurs de Québec is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Forces. It is located at the Quebec City Armoury in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The name of the regiment commemorates another older French-speaking Canadian militia light infantry unit, the Canadian Voltigeurs (raised in 1812 and disbanded in 1815). The founder of the Canadian Voltigeurs, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles-Michel d'Irumberry de Salaberry, was the father of the two men who raised Les Voltigeurs de Québec. The regiment was formed in March 1862, with its headquarters in Quebec City, by the amalgamation into a regiment of eight independent Volunteer Militia Rifle companies. The first of these companies was originally raised in December 1861. Between 1862 and 1867 these companies were frequently disbanded,

  • Les Voltigeurs de Québec est le nom d'un régiment d'infanterie de la Première réserve des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC). Ayant été fondé en 1862 en tant que The 9th Battalion Volunteer Militia Rifles, Canada (or "Voltigeurs of Québec"), littéralement « Le 9e Bataillon de fusiliers de la milice volontaire, Canada (ou "Voltigeurs de Québec") », il s'agit du plus ancien régiment canadien-français. Ce bataillon devint un régiment en 1900 en adoptant le nom de 9th Regiment "Voltigeurs de Québec", littéralement le « 9e Régiment "Voltigeurs de Québec" ». En 1954, celui-ci fusionna avec Le Régiment de Québec. De plus, de 1965 à 1966, il était fusionné avec The Royal Rifles of Canada. Il fait partie du 35e Groupe-brigade du Canada de la 2e Division du Canada au sein de l'Armée canadienne. Les membres du régiment sont des soldats s'entraînant à temps partiel afin de servir dans des opérations domestiques ou outremers des FAC. Les Voltigeurs de Québec perpétuent l'histoire de plusieurs unités : le 6e Bataillon de la Milice d'élite incorporée, le Corps provincial d'infanterie légère (Voltigeurs canadiens), le 1er et le 2e Bataillon de la Ville de Québec (1812-1815), la Division de Beauport (1812-1815) ainsi que le 57th "Overseas" Battalion, CEF, littéralement le « 57e "Outremers" Bataillon, CEF ».
