The story of the Queen's York Rangers is dramatized. They were the first regiment in North America and in Canada's early history were co-founded by Captain John Simcoe, first Governor of Ontario. At first purely an infantry regiment, Captain Simcoe introduced cavalry into the regiment. They fought bravely in the revolutionary war and were named the first regiment in North America. Simcoe after a few years in England returned to become Governor of Ontario. The Queen's York Rangers became the official garrison of Ontario and built many of the Kings highways. In 1812, the Rangers marched with Brock at Queenston Heights. During the 180's they fought in South Africa, at Montgomery's tavern, etc. In 1915 they fought in World War I, as a part of the 20th battalion. <30mn>
