The 187th (Central Alberta) Battalion, CEF, was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War.
Based in Red Deer, Alberta, the unit began recruiting during the winter of 1915/16 in that city and the surrounding district.
[1] Perpetuation of the 187th Battalion was assigned to the Alberta Regiment in 1920.
The South Alberta Regiment merged into the South Alberta Light Horse (29th Armoured Regiment) in 1954, and this regiment (now simply the South Alberta Light Horse) carries on the perpetuation of the 187th Battalion.
[3] The king's and regimental colours of the battalion are laid up in St Mark's Anglican Church in Innisfail, Alberta.
