Cap Badge - 155th (Bellevue, Ontario) Bn, CEF

Cap Badge - 155th (Bellevue, Ontario) Bn, CEF The 155th (Quinte) Battalion, CEF was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Based in Barriefield, Ontario, the unit began recruiting in late 1915 in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. After sailing to England in October 1916, the battalion was absorbed into the 154th Battalion, CEF and 6th Reserve Battalion on December 8, 1916. Camp Barriefield located east of Kingston's downtown, now McNaughton Barracks, was constructed at the beginning of the World War I and expanded during the World War II. Camp Barriefield was named in honour of Rear-Admiral Sir Robert Barrie (May 5, 1774 – June 7, 1841), a British naval officer noted for his service in the War of 1812. It was later named McNaughton Barracks after Andrew George Latta McNaughton, a former minister of national defence. McNaughton Barracks and Vimy Barracks make up most of Canadian Forces Base Kingston (CFB Kingston).
