There are a few errors in the article. The 185th Battalion (Cape Breton Highlanders) were in England when they were disbanded. The battalion never went to France. When the 193rd and 219th Battalions were disbanded, their men were sent to other units, including reserve units. The 85th Battalion was not restored to service for the Second World War.
