Fort Fraser Despatches, March 2014 Fort Fraser Despatches, March 2014 Lovat history and the Fraser River: According to one George Bain in his 1893"History of Nairnshire", "Young William Fraser of Culbokie, along with the Master of Lovat, led the Frasers at Culloden, and having escaped after the battle to the fastness of Strathglass, was hid there by the tenantry. In revenge the Duke of Cumberland’s troops burned down the house of Guisachan over the head of his father, a very old man, who had taken no part in the affair of 1745. The second son, John, was an officer in the Fraser Highlanders, and was at the taking of Quebec in 1759. When Major Clephane (Kilravock’s brother-in-law, who became Provost of Nairn) was about to leave Canada for home, he generously procured a command for John Fraser, Culbokie’s son. Captain John married and settled in Canada, as did also his brother Simon, who, going out West on an adventurous expedition, became known to fame as the discoverer of the Fraser River, which was called after him." 1 Marie Fraser, historian of Clan Fraser Society, clarifies: Captain John Fraser (c1727-95) married and settled in Canada after Fraser's 78th Highland Regiment was disbanded. Captain Simon Fraser (c1729-79), formerly with the Glengarry Fencibles, emigrated with his wife and young family to America on the good ship Pearl in 1773. After the outbreak of the American Revolution, he joined Sir John Johnson’s Regiment, was taken prisoner at the Battle of Bennington, (more on this battle follows) and 13 months later, in January 1779, he died in Albany gaol. Captain Simon Fraser’s widow moved the family to Canada, staying first with her eldest son William near Montréal, Québec, and later settling in Cornwall, Ontario. It was her youngest son Simon, born in 1776, who later became the famous explorer. 2 August, 1777 more about the Battle of Bennington: (The American Revolution) A disaster for the combined British, German and Loyalist forces at the town of Hoosick, NY - those forces included: German Forces: Prinz Ludwig Dragoons = 205 Grenadiers = 377 Light infantry = 334 Line infantry (from regiments of Riedesel, Specht, and Rhetz) = 37 Hesse-Hanau artillery = 33 British Forces: Queen's Loyal Rangers (Peters) = over 150 British marksmen = 48 Local Loyalists (Pfister, Covel) = over 150 Canadians = 56 Indians (Lanaudière, Campbell) = over 100 The battle was a decisive victory for the Rebel cause, as it reduced Burgoyne's (British) army in size by almost 1,000 men, led his Indian support to largely abandon him, and deprived him of needed supplies such as cavalry and draft horses and food, all factors that contributed to Burgoyne's eventual surrender at Saratoga on 17 October, 1777. The victory also galvanized colonial support for the independence movement, and played a role in bringing France into the war on the Rebel side. The battle anniversary is celebrated in the state of Vermont as Bennington Battle Day. (source: Wikipedia) 3 also of Lovat Fraser historical lore: Mrs. Fraser writes: On July 13, 1994 my husband and I visited Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. We were shown the basket hilt sword used on ceremonial occasions [see photo], which was donated by the 17th Lord Lovat Brigadier Simon Fraser (1911-95) when he attended the 1965 opening of the university, named in honour of Simon Fraser the explorer (1776-1862). In addition to the above, Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, World Champions in 1995, 1996, 1998 & 2001, have succeeded in spreading his name far beyond Canada. 4 from an article on World War I Historians Linkedin page: by Ben Jones - Writer/Historian at The Football History Boys "Footballers at War - 1914 - 1918" In a letter to the editor in 1914, a reader questioned why pro footballers were not formed into combat battalions. 'To be a good footballer you must be big, strong, courageous, active and alert'...all the qualities needed in a soldier. What have they done? An official wrote that there were over 4000 registered paid professionals. These men were the one class of the community who were in special training and conditioning when war was declared. There were enough of them to form three or four battalions, yet months have passed before there was any attempt to form one football battalion." In 1914 a special battalion was set up for footballers interested in joining in the war effort, The 17th Service Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment. Set up by William Joynson Hicks, a politician, its first member was Bradford defender and England international Frank Buckley who would go on to become a Major in the army. 5 in the presence of.......

  • Canada's Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia
    Canada’s Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia: An Assessment of the Trudeau Government’s First International Crisis by Angus McCabe A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019 Angus McCabe ii Abstract The new government of Pierre Trudeau was faced with an international crisis when, on 20 August 1968, the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. This study is the first full account of the Canadian government’s response based on an examination of the archival records of the Departments of External Affairs, National Defence, Manpower and Immigration, and the Privy Council Office. Underlying the government’s reaction were differences of opinion about Canada’s approach to the Cold War, its role at the United Nations and in NATO, the utility of the Department of External Affairs, and decisions about refugees. There was a delusory quality to each of these perspectives. In the end, an inexperienced government failed to heed some of the more competent advice it received concerning how best to meet Canada’s interests during the crisis. National interest was an understandable objective, but in this case, it was pursued at Czechoslovakia’s expense. iii Acknowledgements As anyone in my position would attest, meaningful work with Professor Norman Hillmer brings with it the added gift of friendship. The quality of his teaching, mentorship, and advice is, I suspect, the stuff of ages. I am grateful for the privilege of his guidance and comradeship. Graduate Administrator Joan White works kindly and tirelessly behind the scenes of Carleton University’s Department of History.

  • Women Inside the Canadian Military,1938-1966
    Women Inside the Canadian Military,1938-1966 by Sarah Hogenbirk, BA (Hons), MA A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017, Sarah Hogenbirk Abstract This dissertation inserts servicewomen into military history and women’s and gender history by analyzing how women voiced their place in the Canadian military between 1938 and 1966. It studies how women negotiated the conditions of their service during the Second World War, resisted demobilization in 1946, and shaped the terms on which women entered the forces permanently in 1966. Drawing on official texts, unofficial histories, and personal scrapbooks, the thesis identifies the voices of women who pursued military careers and makes three arguments. First, women have actively negotiated with defence officials for a place in the armed services in war and peace. Second, servicewomen have adopted a perspective that went beyond the war in their plans for future service and their reflections on past service. Third, servicewomen crafted their legacies and pushed for recognition of female military expertise. The thesis moves beyond Ruth Roach Pierson’s pioneering work on women in the Second World War to consider women’s long-term identifications with the forces. Chapter one covers the establishment of the wartime women’s services. Chapter two studies wartime debates over alcohol and sexual (im)morality. Chapter three analyzes reports on the future of women in the forces written in 1946 by Acting Captain Adelaide Sinclair, Lieutenant-Colonel Daisy Royal, and an unnamed senior member of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

    UNIVERSITY OF REGINA ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS THE DR JOHN ARCHER LIBRARY 89-78 WALTER STEWART By SHELLEY SWEENEY, WITH ASSISTANCE FROM MICHELLE GILLANDER AND LAURA RATHGABER JANUARY 1991 REVISED APRIL 2009 By ELIZABETH SEITZ 89-78 WALTER STEWART 2 / 20 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Walter Stewart is an investigative journalist and writer par excellence. He has the inquisitive mind, the blunt honesty, and more particularly, the nose that makes for a good reporter, in every sense of the word. His love of the search for some kind of truth has led him to delve into a diverse number of subjects: the high price of food, Crown Corporations, the history of the Loyalists in Canada, the Pickering Airport fiasco, Trudeau. In all, he has written eleven books, ghostwritten at least two,and edited a book on Canadian newspapers. He has worked for the Toronto Telegram, the Star Weekly magazine, Maclean's, the Toronto Star, the FP News Service in Ottawa, the Today Magazine in Toronto, The Toronto Sun, and Policy Options magazine, in a variety of capacities. In addition to his investigative and historical writing, Stewart was Director of the School of Journalism at King's College, Halifax for two years, and Max Bell Professor at the University of Regina. He has lectured frequently, and appeared on radio and television. Stewart, however, is not simply all work and no play. One only has to read his "Bosky Dell" columns for the Toronto Sun, or his murder mystery Right Church, Wrong Pew, to appreciate his lighter side. His correspondence can be quite hilarious and even his serious writing is never without a leavening of humour.
