	The Scottish Military Tradition in Canada
		Highlanders were "men bred in the rough bounds", living off the fish they caught in the lochs, the deer they hunted in the hills, and the herds they tended to in strachan and glen or raided from their Lowland neighbours.
		Several years later, as a move to counter the growing tide of Jacobitism in the Highlands, a suggestion was made that the government should consider raising several regiments of Highlanders commanded by English or Scottish officers of "undoubted loyalty" and officered by chiefs and chieftains of "disaffected clans".
		The following year, The 48th Highlanders from Toronto and The Seaforths of Canada from Vancouver of the First Canadian Division landed in Sicily and were later joined on the mainland by The Cape Breton Highlanders of 5th Armoured Division for the long hard slog up the boot of Italy to the Po.

		In addition to electing a Chief for the Dominion of Canada, it was recommended that there should also be elected one hundred and eleven subordinate chieftains of provinces, electoral divisions, counties, localities and townships to represent all the Frasers, estimated by John Fraser de Berry to be about 12,000.
