Alberta Regiment
The Alberta Regiment was a short-lived infantry regiment of the Non-Permanent Active Militia of the Canadian Militia (now the Canadian Army). The regiment was formed by the reorganization of the 103rd Calgary Rifles into two separate regiments and the incorporation of a number of Canadian Expeditionary Force battalions into the peacetime militia. In 1924, the regiment was split into two separate regiments: The South Alberta Regiment (now part of The South Alberta Light Horse) and The North Alberta Regiment (disbanded in 1936). Lineage

History 
On 15 March 1920, as a result of the Otter Commission, The Alberta Regiment was formed by amalgamation of a number of CEF Battalions raised during the First World War as well as the reorganization of the 103rd Regiment Calgary Rifles into two separate regiments: The Calgary Regiment and The Alberta Regiment. Among the CEF battalions the new regiment perpetuated was the 113th Battalion (Lethbridge Highlanders), CEF which had been previously disbanded in 1917. After the disbandment of the 31st Battalion CEF in either August or September 1920, the perpetuation of that unit was also taken up by the Alberta Regiment. This regiment would be short lived however as on 15 May 1924, The Alberta Regiment was split up into two separate regiments: The North Alberta Regiment (disbanded in 1936) and The South Alberta Regiment (now part of The South Alberta Light Horse).
