Biographie / Histoire administrative

The 5th Canadian Infantry Battalion was organized at Valcartier under Camp Order 241 of 2 September 1914 and was composed of recruits from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The battalion was commanded successively by Lieutenant- Colonels G.S. Tuxford, and H.M. Dyer DSO.

The battalion embarked at Quebec on 26 September 1914 aboard LAPLAND, disembarking in England on 17 October 1914. Its strength was 44 officers and 1094 other ranks. The battalion disembarked in France on 13 February 1915, becoming part of the 1st Canadian Division, 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade. It was later reinforced by the 15th Canadian Reserve Battalion. The battalion returned to England on 24 March 1919, disembarked in Canada on 18 April 1919, demobilized on 24 April 1919, and was disbanded by General Order 149 of 15 September 1920.

The battalion produced two Christmas publications: "A Christmas Garland from the Front" (Dec 1915) and "Another Garland from the Front" (Dec 1916). The battalion had a brass band and a regimental air "Till the boys come home". The King's colour was transferred to the Saskatoon Light Infantry on November 1924, as was the "battle flag". The battalion's mascot was a goat named Sergeant Billy.

The 5th Canadian Infantry Battalion was perpetuated by The Saskatoon Light Infantry.
