The 205th (Tiger) Battalion was organized and recruited in Hamilton, Ontario beginning in late February 1916. By this time, recruiting had begun to fall off in the city, and it was hoped that by forming a battalion named after the city's esteemed Tigers athlectic club would rectify this problem. However, after an initial spurt of interest, recruiting dropped off considerably. By the time the battalion was sent to Camp Borden during the summer, it was still significantly understrength. The unit returned to Hamilton in the autumn and was evidently redesignated a "machine gun battalion" a short while later. Nothing much came of this, however, and several months later the unit was broken up for drafts. One company was transferred to 164th Battalion which was recruiting neighbouring Halton County.

PTE. ALFRED CLUTTERBUCK Another one of Hamilton's noble heroes has given his life for his King and country. The sad notification stating that Pte. Clutterbuck had paid the supreme sacrifice, was received by his mother, who resides at 166 Hunter street east, and one more of Hamilton's many homes is shrouded in sorrow. Pte. Clutterbuck was a fine type of Canadian soldier and a true patriot. As soon as he was able he signed up with the 205th battalion in 1915 [sic] and went overseas the following spring. While in England he was given a position which held him from going to France until two months ago. Prior to enlisting he was employed as a painter and decorator. He was 24 years of age and had resided in this city practically all his life, and a wide circle of friends, although proud of him, will regret his death in action. Surviving him is his wife, who resides with her parents at 107 Ferguson avenue south; both his parents, two sisters and one brother, all of this city. [HS Nov 17/17 p20]
