"Authorized in the districts of Assiniboia and Saskatchewan on July 3, 1905, the South Saskatchewan Regiment originated as the 95th Regiment. Headquartered in Regina, the 95th had eight companies consisting of approximately 80 to 200 men in each. A Company and B Company of the 95th were formed into a new regiment, designated the 60th Rifles of Canada. Beginning on August 6, 1914, troops from the 95th Saskatchewan Rifles and the 60th Rifles of Canada were placed on active service. Both regiments contributed dozens of officers and hundreds of other ranks to the 46th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), throughout World War I. After the war, on March 15, 1920, the 95th Saskatchewan Rifles amalgamated with the 60th Rifles of Canada and was renamed the South Saskatchewan Regiment."
