The Globe reported on the 2nd of August: ‘If it means war for Great Britain, it means war also for Canada.’ The Manitoba Free Press stated that: ‘If Great Britain is involved in war, (…) it is quite certain that Canada will come to her assistance.’

In short, the unit had become more Canadian and less British.
Many immigrants had come over from Continental Europe and, like those of British descent, they wanted to be and oftentimes felt Canadian.
No longer was the unit made up out of 'Scotchmen and gentlemen', which was a mix of well-to-do Englishmen and less affluent Scots.
At the outbreak of war in 1939, the regiment was markedly different from the battalion that had sailed for England in 1914.
They were present at some of the most pivotal battles in both WWI and WWII and, in WWI, four of its members were awarded the Victoria Cross.
The Canadian Scottish Regiment has a long and proud history. Its soldiers earned forty-one battle honours in two world wars.
