Canadian Army. Canadian Expeditionary Force : Shortly after the British declaration of war in August 1914, Canada had offered an initial contingent of twenty-five thousand men for service overseas. A second contingent was offered in the autumn of 1914. The 1st Canadian Division was formed from units of the first contingent in January 1915, and was fighting in France the following month. In September 1915 the Canadian Corps was formed, incorporating the 1st and 2nd Canadian Divisions, and the Canadian Cavalry Brigade. Further contingents and reinforcement drafts continued to be sent overseas. At the time of the Armistice in November 1918, the Canadian Corps had expanded to include four infantry divisions and corps units. Other Canadian units, including some artillery batteries, engineering companies, and railway and forestry troops, served directly under British command in France and Belgium. Still other units, responsible for administrative support, training, forestry, and medical care, served in England. The Canadian Expeditionary Force, as our military forces raised during the First World War were popularly designated, grew in the course of the war to enrol 619,636, of whom 424,589 served overseas.Additional information:Source of title:PC 2067, 6 August 1914/ Debates, House of CommonsSource:GovernmentFormer archival reference no.:RG9-III -
