Labour Battalion / Canada WW1 info

El Zippo · June 29th, 2012

Does anybody have ANY information about what the Canadian Labour Battalion was and what role did it play @ Vimy?
My Great Grandfather was in this battalion and died in 1917 and I have been trying to figure out what the Labour Battalion's job might have been.
Could they have been another term used for Engineers ?
