The 87th Canadian Infantry Battalion was organized in September 1915 under the command of Colonel F.S. Meighen under authorization published in General Order 151 of 22 December 1915. The battalion was mobilized in Montreal and recruited in Gaspé, Eastern Townships, Pembroke, Dundas County and the mining districts of Ontario and Quebec.

The battalion embarked at Halifax on 25 April 1916 aboard EMPRESS OF BRITAIN, disembarking in England on 5 May 1916. Its strength was 36 officers and 1026 other ranks. The battalion arrived in France on 11 August 1916, becoming part of the 4th Canadian Division, 11th Canadian Infantry Brigade. It was later reinforced by the 22nd Canadian Reserve Battalion and, after 8 May 1917, by 23rd Canadian Reserve Battalion. The battalion returned to England on 3 May 1919, disembarked in Canada on 6 June 1919, was demobilized on 8 June 1919, and was disbanded by General Order 149 of 15 September 1920.

The battalion colours were deposited in Canterbury Cathedral. The battalion supported a brass and a bugle band. It also published a photographic record for the year 1916.
