DSC, ED LL.D. c?~ieo 00 t~e +lit SiaM A/atiMal Deoence l-/eaJ'3uattetj, Ottawa H E present unsettled state of world affairs has made it necessary for us to T increase substantially our armed forces. As a result there is an increasing requirement for regular officers in the three services. Naturally. we look to the Canadian Services College to provide a good man v of these officers. Perhaps you may not realize it at the moment, but the training you receive here will mould your character and influence your thinking for the rest of your life. This is true whether your career leads you into civilian life or into one of the services. Leadership is an important attribute in every walk of life. and Cadets at the Canadian Services Coll eges receive what we consider to be the best rounded education in Canada. Many of you will serve In the regular forces. The remainder will be :It.ached to reserve units. But wherever you serve you must realize that Canada k.oks to you for good citizenship and good leadership. feel sure that you will se rve your country well . Good luck and Godspeed in your chosen fields of endeavour. EDITORIAL TEP into our Gunroom, and you will find a world apart. Here is a room that is more S than "the world's biggest ashtray with a door," more than a refuge "haunted by the hunted. " It is our true home away from home. It is here that Cadets relax, smoke. and talk pertinent questions out of their systems. Through the ever-blaring din of the radio, con­ stant cries of "Pass me," "Seven hearts." "Fif­ teen-four," "Where's the paper ?" punctuated occasionally by a gentle snore. there is an atmos­ phere of carefree relaxation tuned to the high frequency of our life at Royal Roads. You might well notice an air of haste. born of necessity. for our times in the Gunroom are few and short. and we have long since learned to make the most of them. Yet there are times when longer periods can be spent here, and these also are turned to advantage. These are the times when matters of the day, the world situation, College policies and. most often, inter-Service relations are thor­ oughly discussed and argued out. all in a serious frame of mind that bears good fruit. But now, look deeper, look under this exterior that only the casual glance reveals, Here it is that you will see the true worth and meaning of this Gunroom of ours. HHe, from the very start, was born and developed not only the knowledge of how to get along with, and live with people. but also--and this is even more important-the will to do so. For us. our Gunroom life has brought forth an unbreakable bond between our term-mate Cadets We came from every corner of the Dominion, from widely differing surroundings and contrasting ways of life, to enter this room as strangers, and now we arc leaving. But no longer are we strangers. For. since our arrival. we have in our Gunroom found ties of comrade­ ship strong enough to last a lifetime, and these are among the most treasured possessions carried a way with us from our years at the College. Yes, the Gunroom is indeed a world apart. But the spirit it has instilled in us is priceless. and its memories will never fade. May this same spirit prevail amongst those who follow us. 1 HE LOG-I 9 5 COLLEGE NEWS ~ V'~7ikabtiMl}~fJIMEtk:iPl1;;mB?B,101&0tk~70~11fillmd.1 CALENDAR, 1950- 51 3rd Dec.-Brig. D. M.

  • 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.

Abstract The Great War was a formative event for men who came of age between 1914 and 1918. They believed the experience forged them into a distinct generation. This collective identification more than shaped a sense of self; it influenced understanding of the conflict’s meaning. Canadian historians, however, have overlooked the war’s generational impact, partly because they reject notions of a disillusioned Lost Generation. Unlike European or American youths, it is argued that Canadian veterans did not suffer postwar disillusionment. Rather, they embraced the war alongside a renewed Canadian nationalism.

Otherwise known as a suboptimal result, defence acquisitions regularly fall short of established delivery schedules, accruing cost-overruns, sometimes resulting in cancellation of key materiel. One-hundred percent of the twenty-five Major Crown Projects at the Department of National Defence have experienced delays in achieving key milestones. Aside from cost, suboptimal results are injurious to Canada’s tri-force military. Fortunately, the matter has not gone unchecked. A fairly recent surge in procurement research has generated a critical mass of Canadian-focused literature.
