 Fifth Brigade
The 5th Brigade was originally intended as an all-Quebec brigade, with the majority of units under command speaking French.

The Brigade trained with the rest of the Division on several exercises that were of more value to high level staff officers learning how to move large units of men than to the infantrymen in the brigade itself.
