Editing Governor General's Body Guard (section)

=== North-West Rebellion ===
The GGBG was mobilized as a full squadron and participated in putting down the [[North-West Rebellion]] in 1885 as rear-area security for General [[Frederick Dobson Middleton]]'s force. The squadron's task was to protect the main supply route for the force in place with routine patrols from the rail line to Batoche and to secure the only supply depot and telegraph station at [[Humboldt, Saskatchewan|Humboldt]]. A fort was built, consisting of an earthen berm, around the telegraph station and named "Fort Denison" after the squadron's commander, Lieutenant-Colonel [[George Taylor Denison III]]. Middleton's force defeated the Métis at Batoche.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":1" />
