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. -
A Brief Account of the University of Saskatchewan Contingent, Canadian Officers Training Corps
A Brief Account of the University of Saskatchewan Contingent, Canadian Officers Training Corps By D. F. Robertson VE Day in Europe was 8 May 1945, some sixty years ago. Fighting against Japan continued until the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 8 and 9 August with the official surrender on VJ Day shortly thereafter. On 1 September 1945 the Canadian element of the newly formed Pacific Force was disbanded. One of the more immediate results of all this meant the release from the three services, by one calculation, of some 495,000 personnel. While many returned to their previous occupations a very large number, estimated at 150,000,1 took advantage of government sponsored education in Canadian universities. Former President W. P. Thompson, in The University of Saskatchewan, A Personal History, pointed out that the first of these, “air crew and those who had been wounded, sick or disabled,” began to return to the University of Saskatchewan in 1943. By 1946 there were more than 2,500 and by 1951 most had either finished their course or had left for other reasons.2 But this was not the first encounter of the university with military life. The story really began during the Great War with the formation of the University of Saskatchewan Contingent of the Canadian Officers Training Corps in December 1915. There had been a form of military training, apparently largely drill and marching, carried out in the earlier days of the war. However with the official formation under the command of C. J. Mackenzie, a civil engineer who became Dean many years later, the unit found itself “the most gratuitous of military formations – a draft finding unit – and so the Saskatchewan men reinforced the McGill University Contingent, the Princess Pats and the 28th Battalion.”3 These are the words of President J. -
