A Battalion of our Own: 113th Overseas Battalion CEF The Lethbridge Highlanders
This little-known historical vignette, produced for the centennial of the First World War, is a treasure for the City of Lethbridge and nearby small towns to commemorate the establishment of the Lethbridge Highlanders and its brief role as a fighting unit the war. Although it was only a short time before men were redeployed to fortify other units in Europe, the 113th Lethbridge Highlanders was a source of local pride as “A Battalion of Our Own.” The 901 officers and non-commissioned men who answered the Highlanders’ call to arms came from not only Lethbridge but also men from many other Canadian locations in 1915, an enduring source of pride and honor to this day.
