CEF Perpetuated Battalions

[Bill Smy]

Does anyone know if there is a document or book listing all the CEF infantry battalions and the subsequent regiments which perpetuated them?

Were all CEF infantry battalions perpetuated?

Bill, I am building some pages right now for The Regimental Rogue on perpetuation of CEF units right now. I am using references from 1932, 1939 and 1964 for this little project. I hope to have the full set up in a week or so.

Here's an example of what they should look like:

I haven't found an earlier reference (yet) but it looks like only a few were not being perpetuated as of 1932, but each subsequent reference shows perpetuation of CEF units dropping as various units were stood down.

Thanks, Michael:-

This is exactly what I'm looking for, and I suspect many will find it useful. I'm surprised Ducimus: The
Regiments of The Canadian Infantry did not contain something like this. I wonder if DHH at DND has a list.

I'm interested in the 102nd Bn.

Please post here when you have the list up and running on the Regimental Rogue.

Bill,

The 102nd (North British Columbia) Bn CEF was perpetuated by the North British Columbia Regiment, who's "Home Station" was Prince Rupert.

The North British Columbia Regiment became, eventually, the 120th Independent Field Battery, RCA in 1956, and in 1958 amalgamated into the Irish Fusiliers of Canada, as their D Coy.   The Irish were reduced to nil strength on the 31st March, 1965.

Not all CEF Battalions are perpetuated.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Bill N.
