- Like Australia, Canada formed a
"new" Army to fight in WW1. It was called the Canadian
Expeditionary Force (CEF). It did fine work in France & Flanders,
often alongside the Anzacs.
- Many of these units were designated
as the "Overseas Battalion"
of an existing Regiment. Others were brand new.

and New Zealand's NZEF, the CEF wore distinguishing colour patches on the
