The Lake Superior Scottish Regiment is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Forces. The regiment is located in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and is part of 38 Canadian Brigade Group. The unit was raised in response to the second Riel Rebellions, and was originally known as the 96th Algoma Rifles. Also known as the "Lake Sups" (pronounced soups), the regiment was active during World War II. During which, the regiment, then known as The Lake Superior Regiment (Motor) or LSR(M), mobilized a Motor (motorized infantry) battalion for the 4th Canadian (Armoured) Division.
The LSR(M) and 28th Armoured Regiment (The British Columbia Regiment) were the only Canadian land based units to score a naval victory during the Second World War. On November 5, 1944, the units sank a number of German ships in the port of Zijpe. The units sank three German ships and destroyed a fourth. The ships were reportedly destroyers, one of which was damaged by mortar fire - one legend suggests a mortar round fired by the infantry made its way down the smokestack of one of the ships. The ship's bell from one of the sunken vessels was recovered, and is located in the Officer's Mess of The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own).
The regiment mobilized The Lake Superior Regiment, CASF, on 24 May 1940. It was redesignated the 1st Battalion, The Lake Superior Regiment, CASF, on 7 November 1940 and the 1st Battalion, The Lake Superior Regiment (Motor), CASF, on 26 January 1942. It embarked for Britain on 22 August 1942. On 26 and 27 July 1944, it landed in France as part of the 4th Armoured Brigade, 4th Canadian (Armoured) Division, and it continued to fight in North West Europe until the end of the war. The overseas battalion was disbanded on 15 February 1946.
