FOUNDATIONS OF THE 72nd REGIMENT, 1910-1914
Fondation du 72e régiment, 1910-1914
Duke of Connaught presents the Regiment with its new colours, 19 Sept. 1912
Review of 72nd Regiment at Brockton Point by the Governor General, the Duke of Connaught on September 19, 1912. He presented the Regiment with its new colours - the gift of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire.
The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) is a women's charitable organization based in Canada. The club was originally titled the "Federation of Daughters of the British Empire", which was founded by Margaret Clark Murray in 1900.
It was founded in 1900 during the Second Boer War in patriotic support of the British Empire. It currently provides scholarships, bursaries, book prizes, and awards, as well as pursuing other philanthropic and educational projects in various communities across the nation. The club was originally formed to strengthen Canadas national ties. During the Second World War the IODE had 50,000 members and participated in war effort relief drives, such as sock drives and scrap drives.
The first chapter in New Brunswick was founded by Mrs. John Black in Fredericton. The club's motto was "One Flag, One Throne, One Empire".
