  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century
    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.

  • 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.

It was extra painful for me having to self-isolate this week preventing me from attending with you at the PNE grounds. Though I must say the efforts of the Association and the Regimental wreath parties at key locations has still allowed for us to feel connected on this day. The remembrance at the 29th Battalion CEF Monument at the PNE was very well done and attended by over 75 BCR soldiers online. Please pass on my kudos to all those involved in putting this together. The Wait for me Daddy wreath laying party was befitting for such a special and dear monument to our Regiment. Finally, the readings of the Cpl Alexander and Wu at Christ Church Cathedral as part of a wreath laying party was streamed live and can be found on youtube at https://www.thecathedral.ca/livestreams/34. These efforts show the whole Regimental Family is able to adapt and carry on in face of the greatest challenges of this generation of soldiers.

  • L'absence De Généraux Canadiens-Français Combattants
    Où sont nos chefs? L’absence de généraux canadiens-français combattants durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale (1939-1945). Par : Alexandre Sawyer Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales À titre d’exigence partielle en vue de l’obtention d’un doctorat en histoire Université d’Ottawa © Alexandre Sawyer, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ii RÉSUMÉ Le nombre d’officiers généraux canadiens-français qui ont commandé une brigade ou une division dans l’armée active durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale est presque nul. On ne compte aucun commandant de division francophone dans l’armée outre-mer. Dans les trois premières années de la guerre, seulement deux brigadiers canadiens-français prennent le commandement de brigades à l’entrainement en Grande-Bretagne, mais sont rapidement renvoyés chez eux. Entre 1943 et 1944, le nombre de commandants de brigade francophones passe de zéro à trois. L’absence de généraux canadiens-français combattants (à partir du grade de major-général) durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale s’explique par plusieurs facteurs : le modèle britannique et l’unilinguisme anglais de la milice, puis de l’armée canadienne, mais aussi la tradition anti-impérialiste et, donc, souvent antimilitaire des Canadiens français. Au début de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, aucun officier canadien n’est réellement capable de commander une grande unité militaire. Mais, a-t-on vraiment le choix? Ces officiers sont les seuls dont dispose le Canada. Quand les troupes canadiennes sont engagées au combat au milieu de 1943, des officiers canadiens, plus jeunes et beaucoup mieux formés prennent la relève. À plus petite échelle, le même processus s’opère du côté francophone, mais plus maladroitement.

  • 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.

    HISTORY MILITARY DND Photo PL-52817 In 1951, Princess Elizabeth and The Duke of Edinburgh inspect RCAF Station Trenton and the commemorative gate to the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, a wartime initiative of which Frank Miller was very much a part.

    Book Reviews For Most Conspicuous Bravery: A Biography of Major-General George R. Pearkes, V.C., Through Two World Wars, by Reginald H. Roy. Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 1977. Pp. xiv, 388; $15-95- Who could deny the difficulties involved in writing a biography of a living and much admired public figure? How does the biographer recon­ cile the demands of his craft for scholarly objectivity with his admiration for and familiarity with his subject? How can the problem of source ma­ terial be overcome, whether it is too much or too little? A difficult task indeed it is to tread the line between hatchet job and paeans of praise, and one must wonder just why it is that biography remains one of the most popular forms of scholarship. These questions interest me in particular because I am a failed biogra­ pher. Half a dozen years ago I set out to write a biography of Mackenzie King during the Second World War, an intention that I retained until I had done drafts on most of the period and realized that I had a political study of King's administration and not a biography of that difficult, fascinating character. I think I can recognize the difficulties that others face. Professor Roy faced in particular the problem of sources. For most of his subject's varied career, there is very little available. There are no rich files of Pearkes papers, crammed with letters, memos, reports and articles; all were destroyed or never existed. How then can one proceed? Roy opted for an extensive series of oral history interviews with Pearkes, his friends, colleagues and acquaintances, and relied on correspondence with others who dealt with the General.

  • British 8Th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-1918
    Centre for First World War Studies British 8th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-18 by Alun Miles THOMAS Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law January 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Recent years have seen an increasingly sophisticated debate take place with regard to the armies on the Western Front during the Great War. Some argue that the British and Imperial armies underwent a ‘learning curve’ coupled with an increasingly lavish supply of munitions, which meant that during the last three months of fighting the BEF was able to defeat the German Army as its ability to conduct operations was faster than the enemy’s ability to react. This thesis argues that 8th Division, a war-raised formation made up of units recalled from overseas, became a much more effective and sophisticated organisation by the war’s end. It further argues that the formation did not use one solution to problems but adopted a sophisticated approach dependent on the tactical situation.
