The unit had been formed from and sponsored by Montreal's Irish Canadian community (of which my ancestors were part). It was centered around the Montreal Polo Club to some extent. In spite of diligent efforts it was never up to strength and additional recruiting efforts would take place in Ireland itself to attempt to bring it up to its full allotment.
The unit would note end up being deployed in France as a unit, but instead would ultimately be used to provide replacements to other units.
