10th Queen's Own Canadian Hussars

The 10th Queen's Own Canadian Hussars (QOCH) was a cavalry regiment of the Non-Permanent Active Militia (this was the name of the part-time volunteer Canadian land force before the formation of the Canadian Army in 1940) which existed between 1856 and 1913 and 1928 and 1936.

Although the unit did not take part in any fixed actions of its own, various officers and men were incorporated as volunteers into Canadian overseas forces such as the Canadian Mounted Rifles in the Second Boer War, where some distinguished themselves such as Lieutenant-General Richard Turner, who, as a lieutenant serving with the Royal Canadian Dragoons (RCD), won the Victoria Cross at Leliefontein, one of three members of the RCD who were given the award for the same action.
