Logof H.M.S.STONE FRIGATE the Secretary, the Royal Military College Ex-Cadet Club, Toronto, Ont 92 R. M. C. REVIEW 24 7 Russell Hill Road, Toronto (5) April 21st, 1927. R. D. Williams, Esq., Sec.-Treasurer R. M. C. Club, Toronto. My Dear Mr. Williams:- I want to tell you with what pleasure I received your note of the 14th inst. conveying to me the gratifying intelligence of being elected an Honor­ ary Member of the Royal Military College Club of Canada, at the annual meeting, held in Montreal on April 9th, 1927. Will you kindly express to the President and Members of the Club how exhilarating was the added reason for making me an Honorary Member which was phrased in your note as "The affection and regard your old pupils feel for you." It will seem to you unnecessary for me to say that I recipro­ cate that sentiment with as much endurance as it implied in the Trigo­ nometrical relation which is so often referred to in the salutations of ex­ Cadets and is included in your note. I shall be guided by the Constitution and By-laws which you enclosed, and may I hope that my fut.ure will frequently put me into that social inter­ course, so congenial to me, with the ex-Cadets who are so thrilling in their gracious gestures. Yours very sincerely, IVA E. MARTIN. 14th April, 1927. Lieut.-Gen. Sir A. C. Macdonell, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., 3026 Sixth A venue, West, Calgary, Alberta. Sir:- I am instructed by the President of the Royal Military College Club to advise you that at the Annual Meeting, held in Montreal on April 9th, you were elected an Honorary Life Member of the Club, in recognition of the invaluable services rendered to the College during your term as Com­ mandant. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, SECRETARY-TREASURER. 3026 Sixth Street West, Calgary, April 22nd, 1927. LOGoF H.M.S.STONE FRIGATE The Secretary, The Royal Military College Ex-Cadet Club, Toronto, Ont. Dear Sir:- Will you please convey my grateful thanks to the President, Commit­ I tee and Members of the R. M. C. Ex-Cadet Club for the signal honour they December, 1927 have conferred on me by electing me an Honorary Life Member of the Club. No event in my life has gratified me more, and few as much. This hon­ ( our is all the more appreciated and valued because of its unexpectedness. I am, with renewed thanks, Yours sincerely, ARCHIBAIJD CAMERON MACDONELL. (Ex-Cadet 151) 2 R. M. C. REVIEW R. M.

VIII DECEMBER, 1927 POST FREE Foreword LAWYER friend of mine has often said, that generally speaking, there is only one point in a case. Assuming A that this remark holds good about the Royal Military College, I wish to emphasize what I think would be the one point. R.M.C. has unsurpassed location, plant and equipment reasonably adequate and in course of improvement, an ex­ cellent staff, a comprehensive and useful course of study and work, and traditions which are priceless. The one point is that you can spend much time and money telling Canadians all about these admirable features and they will still know little and think less about the Col­ lege; but if a Royal Military College Cadet walks down the street of a town, or steps into an elevator, or calls at a home, the people he meets will not require to visit the College or read its history or interview the staff; they will recognize the quality of the College in the actual product. Without preaching, let me recall that someone said, "Character is what a fellow is when he isn't watched." No finer thing could be said of the Royal Military College Cadets than that they run true to form no matter where they are. It is part of my job to sell Royal Military College to the citizens of Canada. They have to pay for it. I count myself fortunate that I can, to a large extent, leave it to the samples to sell the goods. COLO NEL THE HON O URABLE J L. RALST O N . C . M . G .. D . S o .: K . C. D . C .

  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

  • 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.

  • Battle of Vimy Ridge One of the Biggest Battles in the War
    BATTLE OF VIMY RIDGE ONE OF THE BIGGEST BATTLES IN THE WAR • The best organized and most strategic battle in World War 1 was fought in 1917 by Canadian and British divisions. It was called Battle of Vimy Ridge. JOINING ALL OF THE CANADIAN DIVISIONS • For the first time in World War 1 all four Canadian divisions fought as one. • All four divisions were from nine provinces of Canada from Vancouver to to Halifax. GENERALS IN THE BATTLE • In the battle of Vimy Ridge there were two Generals of Canadian and British troops. - Before the war teacher Arthur Currie was Major General leading the Canadian divisions. - British division were lead by General Julian Byng. FRENCH AND BRITISH ATTACKS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL • British and French troops in the past already tried to take Vimy. • Every time they attacked they would loose more then 200,000 men. GOALS OF VIMY RIDGE • The first goal of the battle was breakthrough in the German’s lines. • At Vimy Germans fortified the Hindenburg Line made a junction with many other trenches along the front. • The other goal was the importance of German factories that were producing military supplies for the war. • It was the Canadian task to take Vimy and two other important hills, where the Germans had strong defenses. WHY THE HILL WAS HARD TO ATTACK? • Vimy Ridge was very important to the Germans so they tried to make sure that it would be difficult to attack. • Vimy was a natural hill and a barren slope that provided little cover for attackers so it gave good advantage for fortified machine guns and for artillery.
