The 65,000 figure also includes Navy and Air force. Last that I heard was there were 7,500 infantry types in the CF in nine battalions.
Here is an interesting remark from Billy Bishop during WWII. As Bishop pins on the wings a short conversation ensues: Bishop: "And where are you from, son?" Groves: "Texas, sir." Bishop: "One of our most loyal provinces." Groves: "We think so, sir." Bishop: "Well, I think so, too. And we thank you for coming up here and helping us." http://www.legionmagazine.ca/feature...7.asp?id=print |
