If this is what your referring to under the heading '
Military Districts as of 1 September 1939' and in the table under the map '
By 1939 there were 11 Military Districts, further divided into Brigades':-
No. 3 - Headquarters: Kingston, Ontario
Counties of Carleton, Frontenac, Haliburton, Hastings, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Lennox and Addington, Northumberland and Durham, Peterborough, Prescott and Russell, Prince Edward, Renfrew, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Victoria and that portion of the district of Nipissing lyiug south of the Mattawa River (exclusive of the Townships of Ferris and Banfield and inclusive of the town of Mattawa) and in the Province of Quebec, the counties of Gatineau, Pontiac and Temiscaminque.
these are not enlistment centres, it is the geographical boundaries of Military District No. 3 as/at 1 September 1939.
In the next table down, under the heading of '
The Districts and Brigades were as follows (list as of 3 September 1939): ...', were it reads:
M.D. 3
and under the Military District Units sub-title:-
8th Infantry Brigade: HQ Ottawa
9th lnfantry Brigade: HQ Kingston
1st Field Brigade, RCA: Ottawa
4th Field Brigade, RCA: Cobourg
9th Field Brigade RCA: Kingston
these are not formations of the Canadian Active Service Force, which had been called out and placed on active service effective 1 September 1939, but are infantry and artillery formations of the Non-Permanent Active Militia, of the Military Forces of Canada, as/at 3 September 1939, within Military District No. 3.
