  • 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.

  • Ross Ellis Memorial Lecture Ross Ellis
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 19, ISSUE 3 Studies Ross Ellis Memorial Lecture Ross Ellis: A Canadian Temperate Hero Geoffrey Hayes Lieutenant-Colonel Ross Ellis was a remarkable soldier who led the Calgary Highlanders, and later his community and province with distinction. Ellis had those powerful but elusive qualities of a leader, defined by a British doctor in 1945: the technical knowledge to lead, but also the moral equipment to inspire.1 This article has two purposes. First it explores briefly what kind of man the wartime Canadian Army sought for its commissioned leadership. It then draws upon the correspondence between Ross Ellis and his wife Marjorie to see how one remarkable soldier negotiated his first weeks in battle in the summer of 1944. These letters reveal how, with Marjorie’s encouragement, Ross Ellis sustained his own morale and nurtured 1 Emanuel Miller, “Psychiatric Casualties Among Officers and Men from Normandy: Distribution of Aetiological Factors.” The Lancet 245, no. 6343 (March 1945): pp. 364–66. ©Centre of Military and Strategic Studies, 2019 ISSN : 1488-559X VOLUME 19, ISSUE 3 a leadership style that would become legendary within the Calgary Highlanders community. Like so many others, Ross Ellis practiced a kind of temperate heroism2 a reaction not only to the idealized, heroic vision of officership in the First World War, but also to British and especially German representations of wartime leadership. The First World War cast a wide shadow over Ross Ellis’ generation. And although much changed between the two wars, there were still remarkable similarities in the way in which soldiers understood and endured the war.

  • Elchuk, Alex Private the Calgary Highlanders, R.C.I.C. M – 39751
    Elchuk, Alex Private The Calgary Highlanders, R.C.I.C. M – 39751 Alex Elchuk was born 16 July,1916 in Desjarlais, Alberta, Canada, the son of Theodore and Dora Elchuk, both born in Austria. He had three older brothers, William, George and John, a younger brother Metro and two older sisters, Jennie and Mary with a younger sister, Annie. He also had an older step brother, Mike. His mother died in the autumn of 1935 when Alex was seventeen years old. He was Roman Catholic but did not go to church until he went into the army. After 8 years at school, he left at the age of fourteen in order to work on the family farm. He himself owned 160 hectares of land in Wandering River, Alberta and planned to settle there after the war. In his free time he liked to play basketball, read and write, smoke a cigarette, with a drink sometimes. In 1940 Canada introduced the National Resources Mobilization Act; available men were asked to register for military service, where in the first instance, recruits would be used to defend the homeland. Later, these men were sent to serve overseas. One of them was Alex Elchuk. On 17 April, 1941, Alex, then twenty two years old, reported for service in Calgary, Alberta and was given the army number: M600521. At that time he had been living in Desjarlais and working on his father’ s farm as a single man. He was described in the records as 1.76m tall, weighing 73 kilos, with blue eyes, dark hair and a light skin colour; he had a scar on his upper lip.

  • William “Billy” Rainey' – from Forest to Fray
    William “Billy” Rainey’ – From Forest to Fray Pte William “Billy” Rainey D-110153 CFC - Coy 2, Ballogie, Scotland, Aug, 1941 On Nov 3-4, 2008 I (Gordon Rainey) spent time at the central Archives Canada building at 395 Wellington St, in downtown Ottawa. I was there attending an Irish-Canadian Genealogy Symposium. I skipped some of the presentations, to meet an archival researcher on the 3rd floor, where I browsed through my uncle Billy Rainey’s war records. Billy’s records were in a medium sized cardboard file box, containing a single accordion folder in which was a wad of various sized papers and cards. The principle records were the “service and casualty” sheets, indicating the intervals spent in various functions. Additional information included his medical and dental records as well as some financial records on salary adjustments, personal loans, victory bond subscriptions, etc. From the “service and casualty” sheets it was possible to construct a time-line covering Billy’s five years of military service. Billy enlisted July 29, 1940, in Westmount, QC, at age 22. Overseas he was initially with Coy 2 Canadian Forestry Corps in Ballogie, Scotland (Jan 1941 - Apr 1943), then with Coy 3 Canadian Armoured Reinforcement Unit in England (Apr 1943 - Aug 1943), then with the Canadian School of Artillery (Aug 1943 - Nov 1944), then with Coy 2 Canadian Armoured Reinforcement Unit in England (Nov 1944), then with Coy 3 Canadian Infantry Corps (Nov 1944-Apr 1945) in England, then he was assigned to the 1st Battalion Black Watch (Apr 1945-Jun 1945), to reinforce a unit drained by combat casualties.
