The 94th Battalion was an infantry battalion recruited in Northwestern Ontario, including Kenora. They embarked for Britain on 18 June 1916 and once there were absorbed by the 17th Reserve Battalion CEF and the 32nd Battalion CEF, providing reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field. Here they are pictured in front of the King Cash Grocery on Matheson Street, Kenora.
Waves and handshakes were offered to the young men of the 3rd Contingent as they depart the Kenora Train Station. They were headed for Valcartier, Quebec for military training before being shipped overseas to the front lines.
