Index Canadian Military Mail Study Group Newsletter Index to the Canadian Military Mail Study Group Newsletter of the British North America Philatelic Society Issues 101 to 150 October 1991 - May 2001 The Canadian Military Mail Study Group Newsletter is published by the Canadian Military Mail Study Group of the British North America Philatelic Society. Chair/Treasurer: W.J. Bailey Editor: D. Mario This index compiled by Hendrik Burgers Printed in Canada. © Copyright 2001 Hendrik Burgers & British North American Philatelic Society, Ltd. All Rights Reserved Index to the CMMSG Newsletter 101-150 CMMSG Newsletter Index - Issues 101 to 150 Introduction This index consists of 3 parts: Part 1 - Subject Headings Part 2 - Subject Index Part 3 - Chronological Listing of Newsletter Contents Part 1 is set out historically, that is, following history's timeline. An exception is the listing for generic articles not tied to a specific point in time (e.g. CMMSG matters). This is a full listing of the subjects covered in the CMMSG Newsletter that have been indexed. Explanation : World War One (1914-1919) - British FPOs used by Canada - Canadian Bases in England - Canadian Forces Abroad in WW I - Censor Markings - COEF - Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force WW I The bold indicates a major subject heading, the indented lines are minor subject headings. To save space, the minor headings for generic listings have not been included here. The same headings are used in the main index in Part 2. Part 2 is the main index. It lists the same subjects alphabetically, giving the issue number and page number for each article indexed. This list also contains cross-references. Example: AFAL, see Military Postal Stationery Allied Forces in Canada Free Czech Forces: n. 135: p. 346 Alaska Highway Alaska Highway: n. 103: p. 26 The main headings are again shown in bold, the secondary ones indented and regular. The font used for these is Arial 10 points. The minor headings (the actual indexed subjects) are shown in Times Roman 10 pt font, regular, followed by the issue number and page number. Part 3 is a listing of all newsletter issues (101 to 150) in chronological order, showing the indexed articles by page number. Page 3 Index to the CMMSG Newsletter 101-150 Example: #101 (91-10) Hubba, Hubba: 1 Siberian Geishas: 3 The first number is the issue, followed by the date of issue in YY-MM format (i.e. 91-10 is October 1991). The indented lines that follow list the indexed articles contained in that issue of the CMMSG newsletter. In compiling this index, I have tried to retain the broad approach of the Newsletter Index prepared by Ritch Toop in 1991, as well as follow the excellent example set by the BNA Topics Cumulative Index by Charles Livermore. The suggestions from Dean Mario and others, who reviewed the draft version, were very much appreciated. This index, however, is not complete. Ideally, it ought to be combined with Ritch Toops' work of 1991. This, then, should be regarded as an interim effort towards a full cumulative index to be published in the (near) future. Meanwhile, comments and suggestions will be welcomed. Hendrik Burgers Gloucester July 2001 Page 4 Index to the CMMSG Newsletter 101-150 CMMSG Newsletter Index - Issues 101 to 150 - Censor Markings 1.

  • 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.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Canadian Military History by an authorized editor of Scholars Commons @ Laurier. 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 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.

  • Aircraft Carriers Royal Canadian Navy (Rcn)
    CANADA AVIATION MUSEUM AIRCRAFT AIRCRAFT CARRIERS ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY (RCN) Prepared by Commander E.J. L’Heureux CD, RCN (Ret’d) Introduction Naval Aviation had its start only eight years after the Wright Brothers first flew their “Flyer” at Kill Devil Hill, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA, in 1903 and less than two years after J.A.D. McCurdy made the first airplane flight at Baddeck, on Bras D’Or Lake, Nova Scotia. It was in 1911 that Eugene Ely, an exhibition pilot, flew a Curtiss off the deck of the United States Ship (USS) BIRMINGHAM at anchor in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and flew it to Norfolk. Two months later he flew from Camp Selfridge to a 120 foot wooden deck fitted on the USS PENNSYLVANIA anchored in San Francisco Bay, proving the feasibility of the aircraft carrier. It would not be many years before the fledgling country of Canada was to participate in carrier based aviation, initially through the pilots who flew with the Royal Navy (RN) and latterly through the acquisition of aircraft carriers themselves. This story is a synopsis of that participation. Aircraft Carrier Development In the formative era of aircraft carrier development navies were tied to the concept that the bigger the ship and the larger the guns the more capable the navy. The bireme and trireme, referring to the numbers and layers of oars used in Greek and Roman galleons, gave way to the wooden hulls and big guns of later ships used in the Napoleonic Wars, and the battles of the Nile and Trafalgar.
