In spite of the opinion of Canada's Military in 1914, Canada's Black Battalion served honourably during the First World War. It was the last time that Black Volunteers were segregated into specific units. Soldiers who called St Catharines, Chatham, Brantford, Hamilton, Cayuga, and London, Ontario home, served our country well as members of the Black Battalion. Military recruitment for soldiers to serve in World War II, Korea, UN Peace-keeping missions, Afghanistan, peace time and special operations no longer segregates soldiers within Canadian Armed Forces divisions.
