Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Dept. of National Defence. Military District Records : The Militia Act of 1868 divided the Dominion up into nine military districts (MD), commanded by a Deputy Adjutant General and reporting to the Adjutant General in Ottawa. With the entry of new provinces into Confederation, some existing districts were adjusted and new ones added. When each of Manitoba, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan and Alberta entered Confederation a new district was added.

The military district was the administrative unit for the coordination of recruiting and mustering the active militia units within the district, and responding to requests for aid to the civil power. At the end of the Second World War the military district structure was replaced by a geographic command structure. RG 24 General Inventory
