The 6 Hussars and 17th Hussars amalgamated on September 16, 1958 to form the Royal Canadian Hussars. The only major Canadian "peacekeeping" deployment before that date was the Suez force in 1956. (Not counting the Korean War). The armoured element of that deployment was the 56 Recce Squadron, which was a composite unit made up from Lord Strathcona's Horse and the RCD's.
