17th FRS FA

The 17th Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery (17th FRS FA), was a Canadian Army reserve artillery unit established during the Second World War. Mobilized in 1941, the regiment provided vital field artillery support for Canadian and Allied operations, particularly in the European theatre. Equipped mainly with 25-pounder field guns, the 17th FRS FA contributed to major campaigns, including the liberation of Northwest Europe. After the war, the regiment was demobilized as part of the postwar reduction of Canadian armed forces.
