WWI vets was held in Toronto. A group of them decided to form a new veterans organization to 'to promote the welfare of the veteran and their dependents in particular, and Canada as a whole.' This organization, the Canadian Corps Association, was named after the front line soldiers (ie: those who fought in the trenches) during the first World War. Although named after the army the Corps was always open to Naval and Air Force veterans who have historically made up a large part of the membership.
