Hello,

Just wondering if you had a list/or information regarding the CAF Supplementary Order of Battle. I'm curious as to how many regiments are no longer on the Order of Battle all together and their respective specialties (i.e. infantry, armour, etc...).

I don't even know if such a thing exists. Check out the regimental listings on my website, however, under the Organization link, and see how many regiments we had in 1900, and how many there are today. I need to update that section to show the complete history, but how many people have ever even heard of

The Yorkton Regiment
The Assinniboia Regiment

etc.

Many existed only from the reorganizations of the early 1920s until the biggie in 1936.

Others have fallen by the wayside since WW II - but usually amalgamations. Some have been reduced to nil strength, but I have no idea how the supp orbat (if it exists) even works.

Too depressing to think about, really....
