Canada Dedication This thesis is dedicated to all the men and women who have fought and are continuing to fight for Canada. I owe you all a debt of gratitude that can never be fully repaid. I hope this thesis, in some small way, adds to the ever-growing narrative of Canada's military past and helps tell your story. ii Abstract In the aftermath of the First World War, the Canadian Corps was involved in an epic march to the Rhineland to engage in garrison duties in the Cologne bridgehead, as part of the British Army. Yet, a narrative of the Canadian Corps' experience in the Rhineland is largely absent from the literature concerning the occupation of German territory. A comprehensive account and analysis of the corps' activities, from November 1918 to January 1919, is not present in the Canadian martial and diplomatic texts concerning the First World War. To date, historians have left several questions unanswered concerning the Dominion's first experience occupying the home territory of a European enemy. Using a comprehensive search of existing literature, Chapter 1 outlines the genesis of Canadian involvement in the occupation of the Rhineland. Based on new archival research, Chapter 2 reveals the initial plans and preparations during the week prior to the advance to Germany. Chapters 3 and 4 chronicle the Canadian Corps' experiences during the march to the Rhineland and the impacts of a difficult logistical situation. Defence schemes, duties and methods to maintain discipline are the subject of Chapter 5 while soldier-civilian interactions and the misbehaviour on both sides are described in Chapter 6. Finally, the Canadian Corps' relief from the bridgehead and return to Belgium are accounted for in Chapter 7. Throughout the period of Canadian Corps involvement in the occupation, three themes—demobilization, logistics and image—underpin the Canadian soldiers' experiences and largely explain the manner in which many events unfolded. iii Acknowledgements Over the years, a number of people have helped and supported me while I have pursued my academic career.

One has been feeling one's way through the dark for four and a half years and now one has come out into the sunlight - and behold!! one is blind, one cannot see the sun. But the blindness will pass in time. But we shall be exiles for a few months yet, I'm afraid. William Fraser, Diary, 11 November 19181 On 11 November 1918, the Great War ended after four and a half years of struggle. The Allied powers were victorious and celebrations rang out in towns and cities across the world.2 The fighting was over; Germany had asked for terms and the soldiers would soon return home. But, for the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), and many other Allied soldiers, their work did not end on 11 November 1918. In fact, the Canadian Corps was about to embark on one of the more intriguing periods in its history. Instead of demobilizing and returning home, the corps began preparations for a march into Germany as part of the Army of Occupation. Half of the Canadian Corps trekked for twenty-eight days across Belgium and Germany to take up garrison duties around Cologne and Bonn. This occupation of hostile territory was a first for the Dominion as never before had Canada's civilian soldiers been asked to garrison the home territory of a European enemy. It was also conducted during a period of great tension, and social chaos in Germany, with thousands of recently demobilized German troops milling around, and under the cloud of looming negotiations in Paris that would decide Germany's fate. This brief period of Canadian participation in the occupation forces was very much a military operation conducted in an atmosphere of apprehended war. In short, for the Canadian Corps, there 1 David Fraser, ed., In Good Company: The First World War Letters and Diaries of the Hon. William Fraser (London: Michael Russell, 1990) diary - 11 November 1918, 333. 2 The Americans are included in all references to the Allies, even though they are not technically part of the Entente Cordiale of 1907. 1 remained much to do after 11 November 1918. No one in the spring of 1918 would have predicted a German collapse before the end of the year, and so plans for an occupation force came late and were made in haste.

  • 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.

  • The University of Alberta's Contribution to World War 1
    For the Empire, the Nation and the West: The University of Alberta's Contribution to World | 3 War 1 David Borys, University of New Brunswick At the outbreak of war in August of 1914, the University of Alberta was one of the youngest educational institutions in Canada. It boasted only 439 students and an even smaller staff. However, its support of the war at home and abroad was one of dedication and commitment far beyond what was ever expected of this small institution. The years 1914- 1918 witnessed the University of Alberta become one of the leading educational institutions in Western Canada. This paper examines the university’s contribution to the war effort and chronicles its growth and maturation during these formative years. In 1915 the president of the University of Alberta, Henry Marshall Tory wrote about the University’s participation in World War 1 (WW1). He said that “the common patriotic impulse which stirred the whole of Canada and which found a voice in all the Universities of the country found expression amongst us.”1 At the outbreak of war in August 1914, the University of Alberta was one of the youngest educational institutions in Canada.

  • The Army Schoolmaster and the Development of Elementary Education in the Army, 1812-1920
    THE ARMY SCHOOLMASTER AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN THE ARMY, 1812-1920 by ELAINE ANN SMITH Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy, Institute of Education, University of London 1 ABSTRACT THE ARMY SCHOOLMASTER AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN THE ARMY, 1812-1920 It may appear to be somewhat incongruous that the Army, whose primary funct i on has been to prepare for war, shou 1d have been one of the earliest advocates of organized elementary education. Yet its i mpo rtance is someth i ng the Army has long recogn i zed. Soon after the Restoration in 1660, and perhaps even before, some regiments engaged masters to instruct their soldiers and also their offspring. Over the next 150 years an increasing number of command i ng offi cers appoi nted a su i tab 1e NCO to act as schoolmaster to the regiment, before the reforms of 1812 compelled them to do so. In 1846 civilians also became eligible to enlist as Army schoolmasters. Together they became members of the Corps of Army Schoolmasters which survived for nearly three-quarters of a century. This the sis con sid e r s the r ole 0 f the Army s c h0 0 1rna s t e r , his training and conditions of service, with particular reference to the period 1812 to 1920. Although not a comparative study it notes, where relevant, developments in the field of civilian elementary education. It does not consider the Army schoolmi stress, who taught the infants, except when her work impinges upon that of the schoolmaster; this subject has been the focus of another study.

  • DAVID H. TURPIN Installation of the President and Vice-Chancellor November 16, 2015
    DAVID H. TURPIN Installation of the President and Vice-Chancellor November 16, 2015 3 A New Chapter in a Proud History Within these walls will be heard the quiet note of the good and the beautiful. Whatever may be the things that appeal to our innermost being, whatever may be the mode of expression by which we may give to the world the highest and the best that is in us, for this we must find a source in our university life.” “ —President Robert Wallace, Installation, October 10, 1928 4 The story of the University of Alberta is a story of humble beginnings and bold ambitions. Those ambitions were evident even before we had a campus, when 45 students, four professors, and our founding president, Henry Marshall Tory, forged the nascent university from its first home at Duggan Street School in what was then the City of Strathcona. These pioneers of higher learning were guided by Tory’s vision of a provincial university committed to the pursuit of whatsoever things are true, creating knowledge not only for its own sake, but also for the uplifting of the whole people. More than a century later, the U of A has remained true to that vision, even as it has transformed into a world-class institution—one that serves not only the citizens of Edmonton and Alberta, but also the people of Canada. Each day, through teaching and learning, through research and discovery, and through the lives of our alumni and the communities they serve, the University of Alberta’s impact is felt across our city, our province, and our country.
