Show detail Hide detail

Trustees of the 59th Battalion Regimental Fund : The Regimental Committee of the 59th Battalion first met on 21 July 1915, to establish a Regimental fund. After successfully soliciting funds from officers and men, and their communities in Eastern Ontario, the committee used the monies to provide uniforms, mess equipment, and other supplies required by the Battalion.

The Battalion went overseas on 1 April 1916, and the Regimental Committee continued to meet at Caesars Camp South, Shorncliffe, England. On 4 June 1916, the 59th Battalion disbanded, and the Regimental Committee transferred its funds to Canada, to be invested by trustees appointed at this time.

The trustees met on 20 August 1919, to distribute funds to disabled former members of the Battalion and to the dependents of deceased members. The trustees held their final meeting on 22 January 1932, having dispersed all funds.
