The 11th Brigade Ammunition Column,
C.F.A., was recruited mainly in Prince Edward Island and
mobilized at Halifax, N.S., during January and February 1916.
With strength of 3 Officers and 107 other ranks the Column
sailed from Halifax on S.S. "Olympic" on 5th April,
1916, arriving at Liverpool, England, on April 11th.
On 25th May, 1916, it was absorbed into the 3rd Canadian
Divisional Ammunition Column, C.F.A., which served in France
from 15th July, 1916, to 18th February, 1919. This unit was
broken up in England in March, 1919, the largest detachments of
the personnel being returned to Canada on the S.S.
"Olympic" out of Southampton on 17th March, and S.S.
"Cedric" sailing from Liverpool on 19th March.
