History of the Corps

       Number 1112 W. D. Lowe Technical School Cadet Corps was formed December 29, 1023 and was sponsored by the Windsor Board of Education and affiliated with the Windsor Regiment (22 Armoured Regiment). The Corps changed it's name over the years; Windsor - Walkerville Technical School Cadet Battalion, W. D. Lowe Vocational School Cadet Corps and the Windsor Regiment (RCAC) Cadet Corps. In 1984, Ambassador Branch 143, Royal Canadian Legion became co-sponsor.

       In 1985, 1112 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps was amalgamated with 2828 RCACC (Riverside) and it's Flag was retired. The combined Corps paraded  at the Major F. A. Tilston VC, CD Armouries in downtown Windsor. The number was gone, but not forgotten. At the instigation of the Col. Paul Poisson Branch 261 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Tecumseh in 1990, the number 1112 was resurected and given to this new Corps.

       To Command this new Army Cadet Corps, the services of then CWO R. Embury of the Windsor Regiment were inlisted and CWO Embury became Captain Embury, 1st Commanding Officer, 1112 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps (Tecumseh). Upon completion of his tenure as Commanding Officer in 1994, Captain Embury turned over command to Captain J. McAree. One year later, Captain McAree turned over command to Captain D. Schatz. Four years later, command of this Corps was turned over to Captain J. Bennett. In January of 2002, as a result of the death of Captain Bennett, Captain D. Schatz was called back out of retirement to again command this Corps. Captain D. Schatz turned over command to Captain A. J. Langlois, CD in 2003. In February of 2008 command was turned over to then Deputy Commanding Officer Captain P. J. Ryan, CD.
