    The 27Th Canadian Armoured Regiment and the Battle of Authie a Case Study Into Manning , Training, and Equipment Failures

    Sean Summerfield 117 TH THE 27 CANADIAN ARMOURED REGIMENT AND THE BATTLE OF AUTHIE: A CASE STUDY INTO MANNING, TRAINING, AND EQUIPMENT FAILURES Sean Summerfield Bishop’s University Abstract The paper challenges contemporary historiography regarding the Canadian Army in Normandy, particularly John English’s, The Canadian Army and the Normandy Campaign: A Study of Failure in High Command, and Terry Copp’s Fields of Fire: The Canadians in Normandy. The 27th Canadian Armoured Regiment is used as a case study to analyze Copp’s and English’s positions finding both to be inconsistent with the Regiments experiences. The 27th Canadian Armoured Regiment received inadequate training and experienced manning decisions which severely affected unit cohesion. The training received prior to entering battle, and the endless transferring of soldiers out of the Regiment, ensured that the unit was not properly prepared for combat operations. Résumé Cet article conteste l’argumentaire de l’historiographie contemporaine sur l’armée canadienne en Normandie, plus particulièrement les monographies de John English, The Canadian Army and the Normandy Campaign: A Study of Failure in High Command, et de Terry Copp, Fields of Fire: The Canadians in Normandy. Une étude de cas du 27e Régiment blindé du Canada permet d’analyser les arguments des deux auteurs et de constater des divergences avec les témoignages des expériences vécues au sein du Régiment. En plus de recevoir un entraînement inadéquat, les soldats du 27e Régiment blindé du Canada ont dû composer avec des décisions en matière d’effectifs qui ont sérieusement entravé l’esprit de cohésion de cette unité. L’entraînement inadéquat et les transferts incessants de soldats ont entraîné une préparation inadéquate du Régiment pour le combat.

    Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War

    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. : A Historiography of C Force FEATURE A Historiography of C Force TONY BANHAM Abstract: Following the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in 1941, a small number of books covering the then Colony’s war experiences were published. Although swamped by larger and more significant battles, the volume of work has expanded in the years since and is no longer insignificant. This historiography documents that body of literature, examining trends and possible future directions for further study with particular respect to the coverage of C Force. h e f a t e o f the 1,975 men and two women of C Force, sent T to Hong Kong just before the Japanese invaded, has generated a surprising volume of literature. It was fate too that a Canadian, Major General Arthur Edward Grasett, was the outgoing commander of British troops in China— including the Hong Kong garrison— in mid-1941 (being replaced that August by Major General Christopher M altby of the Indian army), and fate that his determination that the garrison be reinforced would see a Briton, Brigadier John Kelburne Lawson, arrive from Canada in November 1941 as commander of this small force sent to bolster the colony’s defences.

    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.

Kipp, Committee Member Date approved: April 27, 2009 ii PREFACE Generals have often been reproached with preparing for the last war instead of for the next–an easy gibe when their fellow-countrymen and their political leaders, too frequently, have prepared for no war at all. Preparation for war is an expensive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little–study. However changed and strange the new conditions of war may be, not only generals, but politicians and ordinary citizens, may find there is much to be learned from the past that can be applied to the future and, in their search for it, that some campaigns have more than others foreshadowed the coming pattern of modern war.1 — Field Marshall Viscount William Slim.

    The Sherbrooke Hussars : in Hoc Signo Stabilitas (Steadfast by This Sign

    Daniel Bromby 127 THE SHERBROOKE HUSSARS: IN HOC SIGNO STABILITAS (STEADFAST BY THIS SIGN)1 Daniel Bromby Bishop’s University he Sherbrooke Hussars can trace their origins back to 1803 when T a militia corps was put together under the leadership of Sir John Johnson. This Eastern Townships Militia saw action during the war of 1812 with the United States and, in 1836, a company was raised to subdue the Papineau riots and fought in the rebellion of 1836–1837. The official history of the Regiment begins on September 21, 1866 when the Sherbrooke Battalion of Infantry was formed to meet the threat of invasion caused by the Fenians. Less than one year later on March 22, 1867, the unit was divided in two, creating the 53rd Battalion of Infantry in Sherbrooke (QC) and the 54th Richmond Battalion of Infantry in Melbourne (QC). Later that year, another unit was formed, the 58th Compton Battalion of Infantry, located in Cookshire (QC). The, 53rd, 54th and 58th are considered the Regiment’s original units and its members saw duty in the Fenian raids in 1866 (Stanstead Plain) and in 1870 (Frelighsburg). Several members of these three original units were deployed and served with the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry during the Boer War (18991902). Following this war, Canadian militia recognized the need to augment the number of cavalry units. This is why, in 1903, the 54th Richmond Regiment and the 58th Compton Regiment were converted into cavalry units and became the XIth Hussars and the 7th Hussars respectively. As for the 53rd Battalion of Infantry, in 1900, it would become known as the 53rd Sherbrooke Regiment.
