Categories: Canadian Armed Forces | Canada, World War I

The Canadian Expeditionary Force was the designation of the field force created by Canada for service overseas in World War I.

See: Wikipedia: Canadian Expeditionary Force

The Minister of Militia, Sam Hughes, disregarded all mobilization plans and decided that the CEF would be made up of almost exclusively new units created solely for the CEF. The existing Canadian Militia units were used as manpower pools to fill these units.
