Canada Post's one of the most updated postage stamp pays tribute to the officers of 1916's No. 2 Construction Battalion–100 years after its individuals won the privilege to battle abroad.
This memorial stamp perceives the accomplishments of Black Canadians during an era of
overwhelming racial misfortune. Toward the begin of WWI, Black Canadians were not allowed in military services because of racial segregation. With trust and diligence, they squeezed the Canadian government for reconciliation, starting in 1914. The No. 2 Construction Battalion was framed in 1916 because of a lack of Canadian warriors.black Canadians were enlisted from east to west, with an extra 160–or more–recruits from the United States. The Battalion at long last cruised abroad in 1917, yet isolation took after.
Individuals in the black Battalion worked 10 hours for each day, six days a week, and most never saw battle. They worked with hand made low precision tools and were troubled with harsher lodging than white officers. While white and Black volunteers ate suppers together, but Black enlisted people were doled out various resting quarters and a different hospital caring units wing. Some Battalion individuals died due to pneumonia and different infections while abroad.
