Canadian Expeditionary Force Research Group 1914-1919

The Canadian Cavalry Brigade was raised by Brigadier-General J.E.B. Seely in December 1914. The 2nd King Edward's Horse (The King's Overseas Dominions Regiment) was replaced by The Fort Gary Horse in February 1916, with the other original units being the Royal Canadian Dragoons, Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), and the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery battery. The force was commanded by Brigadier-General R.W. Paterson from May 1918. The brigade had no less than three Victoria Crosses awarded in the Great War (Lieutenant Harcus Strachan VC, MC; Lieutenant Frederick Maurice Watson Harvey VC, CBE, MC; and Lieutenant Gordon Flowerdew VC, of "The Last Great Cavalry Charge")
