Bridgeford, Commander-in-Chief British Commonwealth Force Korea; for services from June 1951 to June 1952. “Major Abbott has been the Senior Staff Officer in the Headquarters of the Commander, Royal Engineers, 1 Commonwealth Division since its formation in July 1951. Since that date, by his tireless work and, even under the most adverse conditions, by his invariable good humour, he has acquired the confidence and respect of all those with whom his work has brought him into contact. Over several periods the pressure of work has been so great that his health has suffered considerably, but at no time has be complained nor has the high standard of his work deteriorated. His willing acceptance of responsibility during the absence of the Commander, Royal Engineers, his utter loyalty and his great devotion to duty have consistently been an inspiration to all those with whom his work has brought him into contact. He has had a very great effect upon the quantity and quality of support the Commonwealth Royal Engineers have been able to give to other arms of 1 Commonwealth Division.” * * * * * ALGEE, Lance-Corporal Burnell Gordon (SG-9728) - Mention in Despatches - First Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 17 January 1953.

Bogert, Officer Commanding, 25 Canadian Infantry Brigade; endorsed 8 November 1952 by Major-General M.M.A.R. West, General Officer Commanding, 1 Commonwealth Division; approved 21 November 1952 by Lieutenant-General W. Bridgeford, Commander-in-Chief British Commonwealth Force Korea “On 23 October, 1952, “B” Company of 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment, was continually harassed by artillery and mortar fire. At approximately 1820 hours the enemy attacked. The attack was preceded by an intense artillery concentration and the enemy due to the vicious barrage and their superior numbers overran the position. Lance-Corporal Algee was employed as the company signaller. During the shelling he carried out his duties in a cool and confident manner. When the intense bombardment started, the company commander was at one of the platoon areas away from Lance-Corporal Algee. This non- commissioned officer quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, informed Battalion Headquarters and requested all available help. He remained at his set until it was knocked out; then he took part in the close fighting and assisted in the withdrawal of a platoon to which he had attached himself. Lance-Corporal Algee's conduct was an example to his comrades. By his initiative and quick appreciation of the situation he was responsible for obtaining immediate artillery and mortar support.” * * * * * 2 ALLAN, Major James Chalmers, DSO, CD (ZM-102) - Member, Order of the British Empire - Headquarters, 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 8 November 1952. Born 12 December 1914 in MacLeod, Alberta. Spent two years in Alberta Institute of Technology and Art. Salesman. Canadian Army Reserve Force, 1928-1932. Canadian Army Active Force, 12 September 1939 to 30 September 1946; remained in Canadian Army after 1 October 1946. First recommended for periodic award, 9 June 1952 by Brigadier M.P. Bogert, Commanding 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade; supported 24 July 1952 by Major-General A.J.H. Cassels, GOC 1st Commonwealth Division; approved 19 August 1952 by Lieutenant-General W. Bridgeford, Commander-in-Chief British Commonwealth Forces Korea. For services from October 1951 to July 1952. “Major Allan has served in Korea as second-in-command of the First Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry from October 1951 to March 1952, and as Brigade Major of 25 Canadian Infantry Brigade from April to July 1952. When his battalion took over their operational role, it was due in a large part to Major Allan's efficiency, enthusiasm and administrative ability in carrying out his duties as second-in-command that the burden placed on his Commanding Officer was lightened, so as to enable the battalion to work on equal terms with the other, more battle seasoned units in the brigade. On 13 March he was attached to Brigade Headquarters and carried out the duties of Brigade Major from that date, though not actually confirmed in the appointment until 29 April. As Brigade Major he has displayed all the qualities of a first-class staff officer. His loyalty, organizing ability and firmness were of the greatest assistance during the period in which the newly arrived units and staffs were trained and welded into an efficient fighting formation.” * * * * * ALLARD, Brigadier Jean Victor, CBE, DSO, ED - United States Legion of Merit (Degree of Officer) - 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 12 December 1954. “Brigadier Allard, Canadian Army, distinguished himself by exceptionally meritorious service as Brigade Commander, 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade (Group), 1st Commonwealth Division, in Korea, from 5 April 1953 to 19 June 1954. Evincing forceful leadership and aggressiveness during a period of extensive and sustained combat operations against a determined enemy, Brigadier Allard successfully developed a confident, well-integrated command which served with distinction on the field of battle and completed all tactical missions in a highly exemplary manner. His tact, diplomacy and close co-operation with other United Nations' units effected a strong, unified front against numerically superior hostile forces and elicited the respect and admiration of all with whom he served. Subsequent to the cease-fire agreement, he directed and supervised the training, deployment and combat-readiness of the brigade to cope with any exigency in the event of the resumption of hostilities. Brigadier Allard's mastery of military science and tactics enabled the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade (Group) to attain an exceptional record of achievement in support of the United Nations' first armed bid for world peace. His exemplary accomplishments and sustained devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the Canadian Army.” 3 General Jean Victor ALLARD, CC, CBE, DSO**, GOQ, ED, CD Chief of Defence Staff (July 1966 to July 1969 Awarded Distinguished Service Order (DSO) as per the Canada Gazette of 18 March 1944 in the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding the Royal 22e Regiment.

  • Flooding the Border: Development, Politics, and Environmental Controversy in the Canadian-U.S
    FLOODING THE BORDER: DEVELOPMENT, POLITICS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROVERSY IN THE CANADIAN-U.S. SKAGIT VALLEY by Philip Van Huizen A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2013 © Philip Van Huizen, 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of the 1926 to 1984 High Ross Dam Controversy, one of the longest cross-border disputes between Canada and the United States. The controversy can be divided into two parts. The first, which lasted until the early 1960s, revolved around Seattle’s attempts to build the High Ross Dam and flood nearly twenty kilometres into British Columbia’s Skagit River Valley. British Columbia favoured Seattle’s plan but competing priorities repeatedly delayed the province’s agreement. The city was forced to build a lower, 540-foot version of the Ross Dam instead, to the immense frustration of Seattle officials. British Columbia eventually agreed to let Seattle raise the Ross Dam by 122.5 feet in 1967. Following the agreement, however, activists from Vancouver and Seattle, joined later by the Upper Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, and Swinomish Tribal Communities in Washington, organized a massive environmental protest against the plan, causing a second phase of controversy that lasted into the 1980s. Canadian and U.S. diplomats and politicians finally resolved the dispute with the 1984 Skagit River Treaty. British Columbia agreed to sell Seattle power produced in other areas of the province, which, ironically, required raising a different dam on the Pend d’Oreille River in exchange for not raising the Ross Dam.

  • Pragmatism and Cooperation: Canadian-American Defence Activities in the Arctic, 1945-1951
    Pragmatism and Cooperation: Canadian-American Defence Activities in the Arctic, 1945-1951 by Peter Kikkert A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts In History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Peter Kikkert 2009 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract During the early Cold War, as the Soviet menace placed Canada in between two hostile superpowers, the Canadian government decided to take steps to ensure that its sovereignty and national interests were not threatened by the Americans in the new strategic environment. This study examines the extent to which the Canadian government actually defended its sovereignty and rights against American intrusions in the early Cold War. At its core is an examination of the government’s policy of gradual acquisition in the Arctic between 1945 and 1951. This thesis explores the relationships that existed at the time, the essence of the negotiations, the state of international law and the potential costs and benefits of certain Canadian courses of action. It also explains how Canada’s quiet diplomacy allowed it to avoid alienating its chief ally, contribute to continental defence, and strengthen its sovereignty during this period. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Whitney Lackenbauer, for his insight, constant encouragement and advice.

  • Specialization and the Canadian Forces (2003)

The views expressed in the paper do not necessarily represent the views of the School or the Department of National Defence TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT 3 Introduction 4 Determinants of Force Structuring 7 Canadian Defence Policy 16 Specialization, Transformation and Canadian Defence 29 Conclusion 36 REFERENCES 38 ABOUT THE AUTHOR 40 2 ABSTRACT Canada is facing a force structuring dilemma. In spite of Ottawa’s desire to promote international peace and stability alongside the United States and the United Nations, Canada’s minimalist approaches to defence spending and capital expenditures are undermining the long-term viability of the Canadian Forces’ (CF) expeditionary and interoperable capabilities. Two solutions to this dilemma present themselves: increased defence spending or greater force structure specialization. Since Ottawa is unlikely to increase defence spending, specialization provides the only practical solution to the CF’s capabilities predicament. Though it would limit the number of tasks that the CF could perform overseas, specialization would maximize the output of current capital expenditures and preserve the CF’s interoperability with the US military in an age of defence transformation. This paper thus argues that the economics of Canadian defence necessitate a more specialized CF force structure.

  • 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.

  • The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-39
    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.

Willbanks, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Maria Carlson, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Jacob W. 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.
