The 11th Hussars was a light cavalry regiment of the Non-Permanent Active Militia of the Canadian Militia (now the Canadian Army). First raised in 1866 as an infantry regiment in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, in 1903 the regiment was converted to cavalry. In 1936, the 11th Hussars were amalgamated with the 7th Hussars to form the 7th/11th Hussars (now The Sherbrooke Hussars).[1][2][3][4]
