Remembering the Unseen Heroes

I played with the 5th Division Composite Band for the No. 2 Construction Battalion recognition ceremony at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Pictou, NS.
No. 2 Construction Battalion was created on 5 July 1916 in Pictou, NS, during the First World War. It was a segregated non-combatant unit, the first and only all-Black battalion-sized formation in Canadian military history. The unit was officially disbanded on 15 September 1920, without ceremony or recognition for their service or sacrifices during the war.
