1. You are the elite of the Canadian Army. For you action shall be fulfillment and you must train yourself to stand every test.
2. Cultivate true comradeship, for together with your comrades you will triumph or die.
3. Be shy of speech and incorruptible. The Strong act. The Weak chatter and chatter will bring you to the grave.
4. Calmness and caution, thoroughness and determination, valor and a relentless spirit of attack will make you superior when the test comes.
5. Face to face with the enemy, the most precious thing is ammunition. The man who fires aimlessly merely to reassure himself has no guts. He is a weakling and does not deserve the name of "Infantryman."
6. Never surrender. Your honor lies in victory or death.
7. Only with good weapons can you achieve success. Look after them therefore, on the principle, "First my weapon, then myself."
8. You must grasp the full meaning of each operation so that, even if your leader should fall, you can carry it out coolly and warily.
9. Fight chivalrously against an honorable foe; fifth columnists and civilian snipers deserve no quarter.
10. With your eyes open, keyed up to the highest pitch, agile as a greyhound, tough as leather, hard as steel, you will be the embodiment of a Canadian Infantryman..
