The 165th (French Acadian) Battalion, CEF was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Based in Moncton, New Brunswick, the unit began recruiting in late 1915 throughout the Maritime provinces. The Battalion embarked Canada on the SS Metagama at Halifax on March 25, 1917 and disembarked in England at Liverpool on April 4, 1917. In England, the Battalion was absorbed into the 13th Reserve Battalion. The soldiers from Yarmouth County were transferred to various Companies of the Canadian Forestry Corps and served throughout England and France. One soldier, private Cyrille Edward Pothier transferred to the 22nd Battalion. Thirty three men with connections to Yarmouth Town and County enlisted in the 165th Battalion.
