162nd (Parry Sound) Battalion, CEF
The 162nd (Parry Sound) Battalion, CEF was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Based in Parry Sound, Ontario, the unit began recruiting in late 1915 in that city. After sailing to England in November 1916, the battalion was absorbed into the 3rd and 4th Reserve Battalions on January 4, 1917. The 162nd Battalion, CEF had one Officer Commanding: Lieut-Col. J. M. Arthurs.
==Pre-War Militia==
The Northern Pioneers, or the “23rd Regiment, The Northern Fusiliers” was formed on September 1, 1903.〔(G.W.L Nicholson) Colonel, Director Historical Section, The Department of National Defense Army, Ottawa, Ontario, 13 January 1960〕 The Department of Militia and Defense authorized the formation in 1903 in order to fill the geographical gap between the 35th Simcoe Foresters in Huntsville and the 97th Algonquin Rifles in Sudbury. The Northern Pioneers headquarters in Parry Sound, embraced Muskoka-Parry Sound and as far north as North Bay.〔Adrian Hayes, "Parry Sound:Gateway to Northern Ontario", pg.127,2005〕 To cover the vast territory the regiment was sub-divided into various companies. Parry Sound, geographically speaking, was not an idealistic military district. Other regiments in more urban centres drilled in armouries throughout the year, the Northern Pioneers would get together in summer months for two-week training periods in regular army bases such as Niagara–on-the-Lake. To get to Parry Sound for the summer camp of 1912, the company from Loring had to travel west for 48 km on a wagon road through the bush to catch a CNR train at Salines (later called Drocourt).〔John Macfie, "Now and Then:Footnotes to Parry Sound History", pg.104, 1983〕
