Guaranteed genuine.
The unit began recruiting in late 1915 in Edmonton. After sailing to England in August 1916,
the battalion was absorbed into the 47th, 50th, 137th, and 175th Battalions, CEF, on December 8, 1916.
The 138th Battalion, CEF, had one officer commanding: Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Belcher.
The perpetuation of the 138th Battalion was assigned to the Edmonton Fusiliers in 1929. This regiment merged into the 19th (Alberta) Armoured Car Regiment, RCAC, in 1946. The 19th in turn amalgamated into the South Alberta Light Horse in 2006, and the SALH now perpetuates the 138th Battalion.
