It has also been my understanding that all the Special Service Companies were involved in guard duty. I found this on the CEF Study Group regarding this unit. "On 20 April 1918, the regimental title of the 2nd Battalion, 1 Central Ontario Regiment was changed to the 2nd Battalion, The Canadian Garrison Regiment, and it absorbed Number 2 Special Service Company. The new Battalion established its headquarters in the Exhibition Grounds in Toronto and had detachments located at vital points throughout Ontario. On 1 July it took over the duties of the Welland Canal Force which had been disbanded the previous day."
Thanks
