This article is in great shape. I just have a few comments/queries:

the article would benefit from a map showing where the Yukon is, as an Australian, my knowledge of Canadian geography is limited, and I'm sure that would be common among readers not from Canada. I also think a map showing the route taken would also be useful in that section of the article.

Map added. Hchc2009 (talk) 09:07, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't clear what the relationship of the Yukon was to the rest of Canada at this stage, especially when you later say that ppl are travelling from Canada to the Yukon. Was it part of Canada at that stage?

Clarified a bit. Hchc2009 (talk) 12:31, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"external world" seems a strange combination, perhaps "wider world"?

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 12:31, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd link Ottawa in the lead and at first mention in the body

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 12:31, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

suggest adding the distance between Winnipeg and the Yukon, for context

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 12:31, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

in "establishing a barracks there the following year." it isn't clear what year this was

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 12:31, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note a talks about a stampede, I think that has a different meaning than gold rush, and suggest sticking to similar terms

In this context, they're equivalent, but agree its worth using the same term - done. Hchc2009 (talk)

link Parliament of Canada

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 12:31, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

suggest linking Permanent Force of the Canadian Militia in the body at first mention

I think it already is...? Hchc2009 (talk) 18:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

suggest replacing the second instance of "the detachment" with "it"

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

link Lieutenant-Colonel

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"250 kilometres" needs |adj=on added to the convert template so it renders as 250-kilometre

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 08:22, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

suggest "on to Fort Selkirk" rather than onto

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

suggest being consistent with Fort Selkirk and Selkirk, unless the latter is a different place

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Allen could use an ISSN or similar, as could Morrison (1974)

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:Yukon Field Force in Vancouver.jpg needs either publication info or a date of death of the photographer for the current licensing

Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:Military drills at Fort Selkirk, Yukon Territory, ca 1898 (HEGG 64).jpeg needs categorisation

That's me done. Placing on hold for seven days for above comments to be addressed. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:31, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
