  • Towards a Canadian Air Force Services with Suitable Canadians
    Towards a Canadian Air Force 591 Services with suitable Canadians as they may require them.'27 He conceded that this left the situation precisely where it had been - one in which ' the Dominion does not get sufficient credit for the splendid work which is being done by the Canadians in both the Air Services' -and he therefore suggested that some good might come from the appointment of a Canadian liaison officer to the staff of the RFC. Duri ng the period in which Kemp and Perley were assembling advice to place before the Prime Minister, Borden himself remained favourably disposed to the idea of a Canadian air service. 'Is anything being done with a view to establishing a Canadian Flying Corps?' he asked Kemp in July. 'It seems unfortunate that when so much splendid work is being done by Canadians that they should have no distinctive part in the service. ' 28 When Kemp and Perley submitted their reports in early August they were reviewed for him in an unsigned memorandum entitled 'Notes on Proposals for a Canadian Flying Corps,' the author of which may well have been Loring Christie, the External Affairs official who was one of Borden's closest advisers on imperial questions. To its author Perley had put 'his finger on the vital spot of this whole question,' the matter of aircraft supply; 'any other details in the proposals are insignificant in comparison with this.' How could Canada expect a square deal when it was notorious that the Air Board had been unable to satisfy its two warring clients, the RNAS and the RFC? Yet the case, on national grounds, for a Canadian flying corps was powerful.

  • 1 the Royal Flying Corp's First Canadian Ace Summer 2018
    Summer 2018 The Royal Flying Corp’s First Canadian Ace When World War I broke out in August of 1914, despite coming from one of Vancouver’s wealthy and elite families, young Alan Duncan Bell-Irving had a tough act to follow. Not only was he the smallest and second -youngest of six brothers, his older siblings had pretty much taken all of the prime openings in the military. Their father, H.O. Bell-Irving, was a Scot immigrant who built his fortune in industry in the area through his Anglo-British Columbia Canning Company. He raised his family of 6 sons and 4 daughters to be loyal, brave and independent. Eager to support the war effort, H.O. immediately placed three of his company ships at the disposal of the government for defense of the West Coast of Canada; for the first two years of the war they were pretty much the only defense available against the possibility of the sudden appearance of a German Commerce Raider, which were then at large on every one of the world’s oceans. H.O. also used his money and his influence to establish a Vancouver army battalion known as the Seaforth Highlanders; a tribute to the historic British Army infantry unit from Northern Scotland. Duncan’s older brothers, Roderick and Richard, held commissions in the Vancouver Seaforth Highlanders and were off to France and the Western Front. The oldest, Henry, joined the Royal Canadian Navy, and soon commanded a small group of boats in the English Channel that removed mines and patrolled for German submarines.

This conflict has been categorized as a "police action", not a war, therefore little has been published by the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army or by individuals. However, the material available to our historian is believed to be of such importance as to justify its publication in this volume of our official history. While Washington National Guard units did not actually serve in Korea during this "police action", our Air National Guard and certain artillery units were inducted into service to replace like regular air and army units withdrawn for service in Korea. However, many Washington men participated in the action as did the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions, both of which had been stationed at Fort Lewis and other Washington military installations.
