OBS

No. 2 Construction Battalion has been celebrated as Canada's only all-black unit. This was to be the last major segregated unit in the Canadian military, since the militia in the inter-war period became integrated, and government policy prevented segregated units from being formed during the Second World War.

  • Forces terrestres
OBS

Le 2e Bataillon de construction est reconnu comme la seule unité de Noirs du Canada. Il a en fait été la dernière grande unité militaire canadienne réservée uniquement à un groupe racial, car la milice a été intégrée entre les deux guerres et le gouvernement a interdit la formation de ce type d'unité durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

OBS

2e Bataillon de construction : s'écrit 2e Bataillon de construction.
