19th Canadian Infantry Battalion


History
Spoiler
The 19th Canadian Infantry Battalion was part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
Here is some History of the Canadian Expeditionary Force thanks to Wikipedia:
The Canadian Expeditionary Force was mostly volunteers, as conscription was not enforced until the end of the war when call-ups began in January 1918 (see Conscription Crisis of 1917). Ultimately, only 24,132 conscripts arrived in France before the end of the war.
Canada was the senior Dominion in the British Empire and automatically at war with Germany upon the British declaration. According to Canadian historian Dr. Serge Durflinger at the Canadian War Museum, popular support for the war was found mainly in English Canada. Of the first contingent formed at Valcartier, Quebec in 1914, 'fully two-thirds were men born in the United Kingdom'. By the end of the war in 1918, at least 'fifty per cent of the CEF consisted of British-born men'. Recruiting was difficult among the French-Canadian population, although one battalion, the 22nd, who came to be known as the 'Van Doos', was French-speaking ("Van Doo" is an approximate pronunciation of the French for "22" - vingt deux)


Private Joseph Pappin, 130 Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force.[2]
To a lesser extent, several other cultural groups within the Dominion enlisted and made a significant contribution to the Force including aboriginals of the First Nations, Black Canadians as well as Black Americans.[3]
The CEF eventually numbered 260 numbered infantry battalions, two named infantry battalions (The Royal Canadian Regiment and Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry), 13 mounted rifle regiments, 13 railway troop battalions, 5 pioneer battalions, as well as numerous ancillary units including field and heavy artillery batteries, ambulance, medical, dental, forestry, labour, tunnelling, cyclist, and service units.
A distinct entity within the Canadian Expeditionary Force was the Canadian Machine Gun Corps. It consisted of several motor machine gun battalions, the Eatons, Yukon, and Borden Motor Machine Gun Batteries, and nineteen machine gun companies. During the summer of 1918, these units were consolidated into four machine gun battalions, one being attached to each of the four divisions in the Canadian Corps.
The Canadian Corps with its four infantry divisions comprised the main fighting force of the CEF. The Canadian Cavalry Brigade also served in France. Support units of the CEF included the Canadian Railway Troops, which served on the Western Front and provided a bridging unit for the Middle East; the Canadian Forestry Corps, which felled timber in Britain and France, and special units which operated around the Caspian Sea, in northern Russia and eastern Siberia.[4]

TeamSpeak 3 - We're not asking a lot from those who want to join, but we DO ask that those who apply TeamSpeak 3.

Maturity - When you are with the 19th, on the TS, and all around being affiliated with us, you're expected to conduct yourself with respect, maturity, and kindness. This doesn't mean that when we're in a Line battle you shout obscenities at the other team, nor while on the TS doing the same. We strive to have a polite, well organized, and very well disciplined Regiment. We hope you can help contribute with this.

Respect - People are different, that's always been a huge factor I've thought about when meeting new people. And in the 19th, we do the same. Please be respectful to the NCO's, CO's, and anyone else you meet while accompanying the 19th.

Activity - We expect you to be active with our Regiment, should you choose to join. That means attending Training AND Line Battles as much as possible. But we do know that real life must come first, and it's fine if you have to miss a few events here and there. Just make sure that if you ARE going to be missing an event, you notify someone who can pass it down the line for you.

I would like to make an Formal Complaint against one of your members who is Disgracing your regiment.

Im having trouble with your member: [19thCIB]Pte_Rufus

Today around 19:00 GMT, on the 25th Commander Battle Server,

He was making an disgrace of himself and his regiment, by Teamkilling 4 or 5 Full Regiments of team mates.

I also made an formal complaint to the 25th to have him banned from the server.

Im making this post here because I believe he is an member of Your regiment.
I see your regiment is barely 2 days old, according to this Forum post.

And at least 1 of your members are already Trolling and making an BAD name for your Regiment.

Does your regiment think it is oke to behave like this in Public, While wearing your tags ?

Greetings

Skapunker, Thank you very much for pointing this out to me, I was not aware of this at all and I will probably talk to him and decide whether I am going to kick him or not.
Again Thank you for pointing this out.
Thanks,
