The 11th Canadian Infantry Brigade was a brigade-sized infantry formation of the Canadian Army which saw service in both World Wars. During the First World War, the brigade formed part of the 4th Canadian Division where it served on the Western Front as part of the Canadian Corps.[1] During the Second World War, the brigade served this time as part of the 5th Canadian (Armoured) Division of the I Canadian Corps in the Italian Campaign and later in North-West Europe along with the rest of the First Canadian Army.[2]
