The Presentation of the Colours of the 51st (Edmonton) Battalion CEF, Canadian Expeditionary Force, Edmonton, Alberta, ca. 1915 (Provincial Archives of Alberta, A2526)
This battalion was raised in Edmonton in July 1915. It sailed in March 1916 with a strength of 1,092, all ranks, under the command of Lt.-Col. R. de L. Harwood.
It provided reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field until 13 November 1916, when it was reorganized as a Garrison Duty battalion. On 22 June 1916, its personnel were absorbed by the various regimental depots.

At their farewell banquet in Edmonton on the 6th March 1916, the menu contained an inset entitled:
*Waiting Orders*
"For fourteen months we've worked and drilled
With ardour in our hearts,
Prepared, whene'er our country willed,
To leave for "foreign parts,"
We lighted from our office stools
In patriotic glee;
And changed our pens for grimmer tools
For use in Germany."
