"During the First World War, the Canadian Army authorized the formation of 260 infantry battalions to serve in the Canadian Expeditionary Force...." seems poorly composed. First, the Canadian Army did not yet exist. Second, the power to authorize units was vested in the Minister of Militia and Defence, the Honourable Sir Sam Hughes, M.P., under the auspices of his being a minister of the Crown, not an officer of the Militia.
Might it make sense to annotate the list with those regiments that perpetuate battalions of the C.E.F.?
From this site it would appear there were up to 13 Canadian Mounted Rifles units [1] -- Jim Sweeney ( talk) 16:54, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
