English

Subject field(s)
  • Units (Obsolete Titles, Armed Forces)
  • Land Forces
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.

  • Unités (anciennes, Forces armées)
  • Forces terrestres
OBS

Le 2e Bataillon de construction est reconnu comme la seule unité de Noirs du Canada.

OBS
