In 1914 the permanent army of Canada consisted of only a few squadrons of cavalry, an infantry battalion, a few batteries of artillery and the permanent departmental corps, 3000 men in all. Mostly the cavalry, including the Governor General's Bodyguard were part-time militia regiments. When the CEF was formed to fight in Europe in 1914, ten Canadian Mounted Rifles units were raised. |
