WW1 - 96th Batt. Canadian Highlanders - Terrified Germans

WW1 - Humorous patriotic postcard in support of the 96th Battalion (Canadian Highlanders), an infantry battalion of the Great War Canadian Expeditionary Force. Here, three (rather-elderly and unfit-looking) German soldiers collapse like dominoes in fear at the imminent arrival of the fearsome 96th Canadian Highlanders! Authorised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on 28th November 1915 and embarking for Britain on 27th September 1916, its personnel on arrival were absorbed by the 92nd Battalion (48th Highlanders), CEF to provide reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field. The battalion officially disbanded on 8th October 1916
