The 65,000 figure also includes Navy and Air force. Last that I heard was there were 7,500 infantry types in the CF in nine battalions.
Here is an interesting remark from Billy Bishop during WWII.
As Bishop pins on the wings a short conversation ensues:
Bishop: "And where are you from, son?"
Groves: "Texas, sir."
Bishop: "One of our most loyal provinces."
Groves: "We think so, sir."
Bishop: "Well, I think so, too. And we thank you for coming up here and helping us."
