The Real Princess Pat and her Colors
Princess Patricia, the Colonel-in-Chief, designed and made by hand the regimental colors of the Canadian Forces infantry regiment, named in her honour.They are a crimson flag with a circular purple centre. In the circle are gold initials V P which stand for Victoria Patricia. The regimental colours became known as the "Ric-A-Dam-Doo", reportedly from the Gaelic for "cloth of your mother". This color was carried in every regimental action during World War I.
