The painting was commissioned by The Globe and issued with the Christmas edition in 1889. The militia were locally raised groups of volunteers proudly belonging to different regiments for the defence of Canada.  Originating in 1669, the Militia act was passed in 1855 for defence firstly against the Americans and then domestic insurgents. By 1883 the compulsory annual muster was stricken from the legislation. At the beginning of the 20th century the Ministry of Militia and Defence, Frederick Borden, was keen to try the men of the Canadian militia under battle conditions. They became the embryo from which the new permanent Canadian army was to be built. Canada’s first deployment of troops overseas was in the Boer War, there many would get a chance to prove themselves as fighting soldiers. When the war did come, new Canadian infantry and mounted units were drawn from many of the militia units which existed, after various reorganizations, until WWII.
