| Description : | Article clipping reads.. Black soldiers hoping to serve their country in the First World War faced many roadblocks from a society that told them it was a "white man's war". In response to protests from black Canadians who wanted to serve their country, the segregated No. 2 Construction Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, was formed in April 1916. Forty-five soldiers from Cape Breton, including Whitney Pier's Isaac Phills, shown above were part of the battalion. |
