Camp Niagara - World War One
In August of 1914 Great Britain declared war on Germany launching Canada and Canadian soldiers into what would be referred to as The Great War with 619,000 Canadian troops fighting in Europe. Camp Niagara and the Commons became the summer training grounds for the Second Division and also served as a training camp for a group of expatriate Poles and Polish Americans in 1917. Many citizens recall the early morning bugle reveille for the soldiers and their Sunday church parades, as well as processions to and from the steamship dock in Niagara-on -the-Lake or the train station on King Street.
