Lindsay Memorial Trophy

The Lindsay Memorial Trophy presented to the Military Engineers’ Association of Canada by Sapper Officers of the First World War, commemorates Major-General W.B. Lindsay who, from March 1916 to July 1919, was the Chief Engineer of the first Canadian Army Corps formed. The trophy is a replica of the Royal Canadian Engineer badge with Engineer grenades on the support shoulders. The Lindsay Trophy was first awarded in 1952 and was presented to the Militia unit submitting the best appreciation of a Tactical Exercise without Troops. The trophy was retired with the reassignment of many of the trophies to Area competitions.
