History
The 202nd Canadian Infantry Battalion (Edmonton Sportsmen Battalion) was organized in 1916. Once overseas it was absorbed by the 9th Reserve Battalion to provide reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field. An unidentified member of the battalion's brass band kept a photo album during the First World War. The battalion was disbanded in 1920 and was perpetuated by the 19th Alberta Dragoons.
