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. -

http://www.ucalgary.ca/hic • ISSN 1492-7810 2010/11 • Vol. 9, No. 1 The Americanization of the Canadian Army’s Intellectual Development, 1946-1956 Alexander Herd Abstract Canadian scholarship has detailed the impact of increasing American political, economic, and socio-cultural influences on post-Second World War Canada. This paper demonstrates that the Canadian Army was likewise influenced by the Americans, and changes to the army’s professional military education are evidence of the “Americanization” of the army. During the early Cold War period, Canadian Army staff officer education increasingly incorporated United States Army doctrine, ranging from the basic organization of American formations to complex future military strategy. Research is primarily based on the annual staff course syllabi at the Canadian Army Staff College in Kingston, Ontario, which indicate that Canadian Army leaders were sensitive not only to the realities of fighting alongside the Americans in a future war, but to the necessity of making the Canadian Army, previously historically and culturally a British army, compatible with its American counterpart. In the context of limited scholarship on the early Cold War Canadian Army, this paper advances the argument that the army’s intellectual capacity to wage war was largely determined by external influences. During the first decade after the Second World War, Canadian society underwent a distinct transition. While Canada’s various linguistic and ethnic groups — including the English-speaking majority – did not sever -

Of the 2Nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, Canadian Expeditionary Force, Is Interred in Mazingarbe Communal Cemetery Extension: Grave Reference, III
Private Joseph Robert Barrett (Number 261054) of the 2nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, Canadian Expeditionary Force, is interred in Mazingarbe Communal Cemetery Extension: Grave reference, III. A. 15. His occupation prior to service recorded as that of a telegraph operator working at International Falls, Massachusetts, John Robert Barrett had sailed from Newfoundland to Vanceboro, Maine, likely on board the vessel SS Glencoe – Bruce and Sylvia(?) are other ships also noted – in March of 1903 to live with a sister at 604, Western Avenue, Lynn, Massachusetts, while taking up employment there. 1 (Previous page: The image of the 2nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, shoulder-flash is from the Wikipedia Web-Site.) The date on which he re-crossed the United States-Canadian border in order to enlist does not appear in his personal files; however, Joseph Robert Barrett did so at Fort Frances, Ontario – just across the Rainy River from where he was working, so it may be that he crossed on the day that he enlisted – on March 21 of 1916, signing on for the duration of the war at the daily rate of $1.10. He also passed a medical examination and was attested on that same day. Private Barrett is documented as having been attached upon his enlistment into the 212th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and officially recorded as a soldier of that unit by its Commanding Officer on March 27. Not quite three weeks afterwards, on May 15 or 16, he was transferred into the 97th Battalion (American Legion), also of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. -
From the Routine of War to the Chaos of Peace: First
FROM THE ROUTINE OF WAR TO THE CHAOS OF PEACE: FIRST CANADIAN ARMY’S TRANSITION TO PEACETIME OPERATIONS – APRIL 23rd TO MAY 31st 1945 by Joseph Boates Bachelor of Arts in History, Royal Military College of Canada, 2005 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master’s of History in the Graduate Academic Unit of History Supervisor: Lee Windsor, Ph.D., Gregg Centre, History Examining Board: Lisa Todd, Ph.D., History, Chair Lee Windsor, Ph.D., History Cindy Brown, Ph.D., History David Hofmann, Ph.D., Sociology This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK May, 2020 ©Joseph Boates, 2020 ABSTRACT This project explores the dynamic shift from combat to stability-building operations made by Canadian soldiers in the Netherlands at the end of the Second World War. This thesis is a comparative investigation of the experiences of two Canadian infantry brigades and one armoured brigade. The findings highlight similarities and differences between each brigade as they shifted from combat to peacetime roles depending on their trade specialty and geographical location. These case studies bring to light how the same war ended in different ways, creating unique local dynamics for Canadian Army interaction with the defeated German Army, the Dutch population which had been subjugated for five years, and efforts to maintain the morale of Canadian soldiers between the end of hostilities and a time when they could go home. These situations and experiences demonstrate that the same war ended not with the stroke of a pen, but at different times and under very different circumstances throughout First Canadian Army’s area of responsibility in the Netherlands in 1945.
