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. -

UN « SIMPLE BRUISSEMENT DE FEUILLES » : LA STRATÉGIE CANADIENNE ET LA CRISE DU FLQ DE 1970 La grande bourgeoisie au Québec est dans un tel état d’énervement qu’elle doit montrer son arsenal impotent au moindre bruissement de feuilles... Communiqué du FLQ1 Tout gouvernement sensé devrait s’efforcer de subjuguer un mouvement de révolte pendant la phase de montée subversive, avant qu’il n’entre dans la phase de la guérilla [...] Malheureusement, pendant la phase de montée, on ne reconnaît pas toujours les signes, et l’existence d’un mouvement subversif peut même ne pas être reconnue ou être niée pour des raisons politiques qui manquent de vision. Ce n’est pas facile pour un gouvernement de faire voir le danger à son peuple. Sir Robert Thompson, Defeating Communist Insurgency es ouvrages traitant de la réaction du gouvernement période qui a précédé le point culminant des activités du Front canadien à la violence politique au Québec se sont penchés de libération du Québec (FLQ) en 1970.
