1 st Canadian Division Celebrates 100 Years A unique partnership was realized on December 1, 2014 when the Canadian Forces Logistics Museum (itself celebrating their 52 nd Anniversary) travelled to the halls of the 1 st Canadian Division Headquarters at CFB Kingston to unveil the, “Leading the Way/Ouvrir la voie” exhibition. This exhibit was born from the concept to celebrate the Division’s Centenary which was stood up as a result of the First World War.

It seeks to connect the formations of the past to the Division of the present and emphasizes not only the history of the Division itself, but the memories of the First World War and of the exceptionally vital contributions logisticians brought to the fight. Situated in both the Division’s front entrance and Orderly Room, the 40-foot large-panelled display includes a well-written snapshot of the Division in action during WWI, various artifacts and works of period art. Owing to its origins, there is an interwoven combat service support theme which would make any logistician viewing it exceedingly proud of his/her Branch.
