The 2nd Canadian Division, an infantry division of the Canadian Army, was mobilized for war service on 1 September 1939 at the outset of World War II. Adopting the designation of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division, it was initially composed of volunteers within brigades established along regional lines, though a halt in recruitment in the early months of the war caused a delay in the formation of brigade and divisional headquarters. With questions concerning overseas deployment resolved, the division's respective commands were formed in May and June 1940, and at British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's request, the division was deployed to the United Kingdom between 1 August and 25 December 1940, forming part of the Canadian Corps.

  • La 2e Division d’infanterie canadienne était une division de la 1re Armée canadienne mobilisée le 1er septembre 1939 lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle a été initialement composée de bénévoles provenant des brigades régionales. Un arrêt dans le recrutement pendant les premiers mois de la guerre a causé un retard dans la formation des brigades et du quartier général divisionnaire. Après avoir résolu les questions concernant le déploiement outre-mer, les commandements respectifs de la division ont été formés en mai et juin 1940 à la demande du Premier ministre britannique Winston Churchill. Elle a été déployée au Royaume-Uni entre le 1er août et le 25 décembre 1940. (fr)
