The 9th Canadian Infantry Brigade was

1916. The brigade was initially composed of the 43rd, 52nd,
58th, and 60th Battalions. In December 1916 the 60th Battalion
was replaced by the 116th Battalion. The brigade was commanded
successively by Brigadier-Generals F.W. Hill (January 1916 to
July 1918), D.M. Ormond (July 1918 to February 1919), and
Lieutenant-Colonel W.W. Foster (February 1919 to
