The City of Cambridge Honours Our Veterans The City of Cambridge Honours Our Veterans Beginning in the late 1980’s and championed by City Councillor and veteran Bill Struck, the City of Cambridge established a street naming policy asking developers to select 50 per cent of the names for their new streets from the Veterans List maintained by the Cambridge Archives and Records Centre. Further research in 2002 by local historian Gerry Love and aided by Nancy Morrey added more names to the list. The Vet’s list now has more than 5,000 veterans and there are over 130 “Poppy Streets” in the city. Lynn Griggs Cambridge Archives & Records Centre January 2015 ii REMEMBRANCE Remembrance lies in simple things In the gathering of flowers And the pinning of poppies Solitary visits to silent graves Familiar names on headstones Remembrance is the echo of laughter down a staircase Which ends at the Wall of Honour It is the tear on a mother’s face And the trembling of a father’s hands We remember them all Without favourites or exemptions Civilians who mended aircraft Pilots who flew them into lonely and ominous skies Sailors whose card games lasted from war’s first declaration To the final call of ceasefire Soldiers who came home changed and uncertain And the families who stood beside them Silently battling enemies of their own Remembrance is simple It is the children whose humble gift is to gather flowers And remember someone they never knew It is those who pin poppies to honour the ones Who have gone ahead To call them back from memory From boot prints in the sand And shadows in the jungle To stand beside us one more time August 14, 2008 Nancy Olwen Morrey iii iv r Nancy Olwen Morrey was Artist in Residence (2005) for the City of Cambridge and received the Bernice Adams Award (2005) for Communication and Literary Arts. Her poetry and prose have been published in Canada, the United States, Serbia, Holland and Japan. In May 2002 she became the first Canadian to read for the Memorial Day Writers’ Project in Washington, D.C., as part of the Memorial Day services at the Vietnam Memorial Wall. She has read at Remembrance Day services in Ayr and Cambridge from 2001 to the present and was a guest speaker for the Ladies’ PROBUS Club of Cambridge in 2006. Nancy has been an associate member of the Officers’ Mess of the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada since 2005. Her interest in military history and her work with Veterans began in 1996. Gerry Love heard that Nancy wrote war poetry and had an interest in military history. Upon their meeting Gerry told her that he was researching the backgrounds of the veterans who had poppy streets named after them. It was a project that she had considered but hadn’t yet begun. Nancy was thrilled to learn someone had taken it on. When Gerry passed away Nancy contacted his widow Mary to find out what she was planning to do with Gerry’s research. Mary said it was in storage and that Nancy could have it if she wanted to look at it or continue the work. Nancy is more than pleased to see that the Poppy Streets project is ready to be shared. v vi Abbot Crescent Abbott, Albert Preston HLI WW II Grace Russ, Vol. 1 p. 28 395 Front Street, Preston; 2nd Bn.

Opposition was particularly fierce, with enemy artillery and mortar fire as well as large volume of small arms fire from well dug-in positions. Cpl, Alexander was wounded about 10 a.m. and after having wounds dressed, requested and was allowed to remain with his company. An enemy counter-attack followed rapidly and Cpl Alexander was wounded by a 20mm shell which struck a wall close to his head and knocked him down. Ignoring both the wound of the morning and the wound he had just received, Cpl Alexander rallied his section, seized a Bren gun, and, propping himself against a wall, stood up fully exposed, to fire at the enemy and to cover the movement of a party of his own section that had become detached from the remainder. By his determination in the face of the enemy, his perseverance in spite of great physical pain and his inspiring leadership, with complete disregard for his own safety, Cpl Alexander set an example for his men to follow and was in great measure instrumental in enabling his company to advance and to beat of enemy counter- attacks" Has two brothers overseas - Now in England on instructional duty Vol 4 pg 1 3 Son of Mr & Mrs Samuel Alexander, Queen Street, Hespeler age 25 years - enlistment July 1943 - Born Ayrshire, Scotland - Occupation - Babcock Wilcox Goldie McCulloch before enlistment Vol 4 Pg 56 Photocopy - Picture Awarded the Military Medal by the King at Buckingham Palace, England - wife lives at 14 William Street, Galt - Received the Military Medal last Sept. while in action with the Lincoln and Wellington Regiment.

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.

Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs.
