Categories: Canadian Expeditionary Force, World War I | Seaforth Highlanders of Canada

The 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish), CEF was organized at Valcartier on 2 September 1914 in response to the Great War and was composed of recruits from the 91st Canadian Highlanders (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders), the 79th Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, the 72nd Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, and the 50th Regiment (Gordon Highlanders).

The 16th Battalion served in the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Canadian Division. Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie, KCMG, was an early member of the unit. He eventually rose to command the Canadian Corps during the Great War. Lieutenant-Colonel Cyrus Wesley Peck commanded the battalion for many months in the trenches.


The 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish), CEF is perpetuated by The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's).
