Re: 58th Bn CEF

[hugh jones <abc@ii.ca>]

The 58th Battalion the CEF is perpetuated  by the Royal Regiment of
Canada.
In the Great War this battalion was part of the 9th Brigade, 3rd Division.
My information is dated, according to "The Canadian Military Experience
1867 - 1983 A Bibliography" by O.A.Cooke, published by the department of
National Defence.   There has been no history written of this battalion.
However, there have been a number of histories written about the Royal
Regiment of Canada.
If you can examine    "Marching To Armageddon - Canadians in the Great war
1914 - 1919" by Desmond Morton and J.L. Granatstein;
you will find that this work will give you a back ground to the events
experienced by the 58th.
