During the First World War, the Canadian Army authorized the formation of 260 infantry battalions to serve in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Of these, only a small fraction of these battalions ever reached Francemarker to serve on the front lines. The remaining battalions, most often upon arrival in Englandmarker, were broken up and primarily absorbed into a reserve battalion. In addition to the numbered battalions were two named battalions, and several regiments of Canadian Mounted Rifles were converted to infantry battalions and served in the Canadian Corps.
