起源与成立（1914-1919年）

PPCLI于1914年8月10日在渥太华正式获准成立，这在很大程度上归功于安德鲁·汉密尔顿·戈尔特上尉的慈善捐助，他捐资100,000加元用于组建和装备该团（PPCLI基金会）。该团以康诺特公主帕特里夏命名，她亲自设计了团徽，并亲手缝制了第一面团旗——“Ric-a-Dam-Doo”。该团迅速从经验丰富的志愿者（许多是英国陆军老兵）中集结起来，成为第一次世界大战期间第一支在法国服役的加拿大步兵部队（加拿大政府）。

该团在世界大战及朝鲜战争中的表现

第一次世界大战

PPCLI在伊普尔、维米岭和帕斯尚达勒等关键战役中表现出色。“Ric-a-Dam-Doo”伴随该团参加了每一次重大战役，象征着其团结与勇敢（Canada Ehx）。战后，一个常备部队于1919年成立。

第二次世界大战

二战期间，该团曾在意大利和西北欧作战，参与了奥尔托纳战役和解放荷兰等战斗（Silver Hawk Author）。该团的适应能力和英勇表现持续为它赢得国家尊重。

朝鲜战争

1951年4月，PPCLI的第2营在加平战役中发挥了关键作用，在敌众我寡的情况下坚守阵地，并获得了美国总统单位嘉奖（Silver Hawk Author）。

现代时期与维和行动

自朝鲜战争以来，PPCLI参与了无数维和及北约任务，包括部署到塞浦路斯、前南斯拉夫和阿富汗（军事博物馆）。该团持续的专业精神和适应性使其成为加拿大步兵部队的典范。

团的结构与象征

PPCLI是加拿大陆军三个常备部队步兵团之一，其营驻扎在埃德蒙顿（1 PPCLI、3 PPCLI、团总部）和希洛（2 PPCLI）。其附属预备役部队是皇家爱尔蒙顿团（加拿大百科全书）。该团的格言“Once a Patricia, Always a Patricia”（一日为帕特里夏，终身为帕特里夏）体现了强大的社区感（PPCLI协会）。“Ric-a-Dam-Doo”至今仍是珍贵的象征，并且与帕特里夏公主及其后代等皇室人物保持着联系。
