This year marks the 100th an- niversary of the battle of Pass- chendaele, stated Jay Tofflemire, First Vice President of Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. As master of ceremonies for the occasion, Tofflemire reminded the crowd of the importance of remembering and acknowledging the contribu- tions of Canada’s military per- sonnel, both past and present. He spoke of visiting the Last Steps memorial that commemorates First World War military members who departed Canada to serve in Eu- rope, and noted, “It’s one lof many monuments that remind us of what our young men and women have LS Richard Balbuena stands sentry at the National War Memorial in Ottawa during Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 11. done for Canada.” PTE TORI LAKE, CFSU OTTAWA The ceremony included the tra- ditional two minutes of silence in memory of the fallen, as well as the Flowers of the Forest Lament, the Dominican-born sailor Last Post, and a helicopter flypast.

An Imaging Technician with For- mation Imaging Services in Halifax, PO2 Reed served as the Sentry Com- mander for the tri-service rotation of this year’s National Sentry Program in Ottawa, marching members out to the National War Memorial each day to stand sentry and guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. “There’s an overwhelming feeling each time I march the troops out,” PO2 Reed said. “I was nervous at first, but once you actually start marching toward the tomb, there’s just such a strong sense of pride, and of the dedication I’ve brought to the service and to my career.” The tri-service rotation, composed of 20 personnel of mixed Army, RCAF and RCN backgrounds, marks the final leg of the 2017 National Sentry Program, which began on April 9 and ended on November 10.

  • The Royal Canadian Navy and Operation Torch, 1942-19431
    "A USEFUL LOT, THESE CANADIAN SHIPS:" THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY AND OPERATION TORCH, 1942-19431 Shawn Cafferky Like other amphibious animals we must come occasionally on shore: but the water is more properly our element, and in it...as we find our greatest security, so exert our greatest force. Bolingbroke, Idea of a Patriot King (1749) The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) corvettes that supported the Allied landings in North Africa beginning in November 1942 achieved substantial success. This little-known story is important, for the Canadian warships gave outstanding service at a time when the fortunes of the main RCN escort forces in the north Atlantic had dropped to their nadir. Problems resulting from overexpansion and overcommitment had, as has been fully documented in recent literature, raised grave doubts about the efficiency of Canadian escorts.2 What has yet to be properly acknowledged was that the operations of RCN ships in the Mediterranean and adjacent eastern Atlantic areas during these same months of crisis demonstrated that given an opportunity Canadian escorts could match the best. On 25 July 1942, after months of high-level discussions concerning the strategic direction of the war, Allied leaders agreed to invade North Africa in a campaign named Operation Torch, rather than immediately opening a second front in Europe. On 27 August 1942 the First Sea Lord signalled Vice-Admiral P.W. Nelles, Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), "that Admiral Cunningham's [Naval Commander Expeditionary Force] Chief of Staff, Commodore R.M. Dick, would be visiting him in Ottawa with some information."3 The material proved to be an outline of Operation Torch, along with a request that the RCN provide escorts for the operation.
