  • Commemorating the Overseas-Born Victoria Cross Heroes a First World War Centenary Event
    Commemorating the overseas-born Victoria Cross heroes A First World War Centenary event National Memorial Arboretum 5 March 2015 Foreword Foreword The Prime Minister, David Cameron The First World War saw unprecedented sacrifice that changed – and claimed – the lives of millions of people. Even during the darkest of days, Britain was not alone. Our soldiers stood shoulder-to-shoulder with allies from around the Commonwealth and beyond. Today’s event marks the extraordinary sacrifices made by 145 soldiers from around the globe who received the Victoria Cross in recognition of their remarkable valour and devotion to duty fighting with the British forces. These soldiers came from every corner of the globe and all walks of life but were bound together by their courage and determination. The laying of these memorial stones at the National Memorial Arboretum will create a lasting, peaceful and moving monument to these men, who were united in their valiant fight for liberty and civilization. Their sacrifice shall never be forgotten. Foreword Foreword Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles The Centenary of the First World War allows us an opportunity to reflect on and remember a generation which sacrificed so much. Men and boys went off to war for Britain and in every town and village across our country cenotaphs are testimony to the heavy price that so many paid for the freedoms we enjoy today. And Britain did not stand alone, millions came forward to be counted and volunteered from countries around the globe, some of which now make up the Commonwealth. These men fought for a country and a society which spanned continents and places that in many ways could not have been more different.

  • Member Motion City Council MM7.6
    Member Motion City Council Notice of Motion MM7.6 ACTION Ward: All Accepting the Donation of the Royal Canadian Air Force Wing Commander Lieutenant-Colonel William G.

City Council accept the donation of the William Barker Memorial Statue by Armando Barbon, subject to the conditions of the Public Art and Monuments Donations Policy and subject to a donation agreement with the Donor, and City Council request City staff to determine the location for the statue in a high-pedestrian-volume site within the former City of Toronto area. Summary Toronto has rich history. Commemorating significant contributors who had an impact the City's fabric is important. William George Barker, Victoria Cross recipient, born in 1894, first came to live in Toronto in 1919 following World War I with his best friend Billy Bishop. Mr. Barker would call the City of Toronto his home until his death in 1930. During his short life, William G. Barker VC had a substantial influence on the City with his numerous achievements including: created the first commercial airline (“Bishop Barker Airlines”) that flew out of Armour Heights and from Lake Ontario by what is aptly named Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport; requested the first landing rights at the City Island for a venture that flew passengers from Toronto to Muskoka during the summer months; with Billy Bishop, began what is now known as the Toronto International Air Show; was the first President of the newly christened Toronto Maple Leafs under new owner Conn Smythe, whom William G.

  • Remarks at the American Academy of Diplomacy Security & Alliances Conference Montalto, October 28, 2017 ©James R. Sofka
    Remarks at the American Academy of Diplomacy Security & Alliances Conference Montalto, October 28, 2017 ©James R. Sofka 2017 Consider a familiar-sounding situation: a treaty ally of the United States undergoes a revolution. The government with which the United States signed the treaty is overthrown and replaced by a repressive regime bent on exterminating internal enemies. Conflict erupts, threatening to engulf the United States in its wake. Media-savvy agents of the foreign power try to influence the American press to get the United States to see things its way. Foreign agents come to the East Coast and manipulate the American party system to build support for their cause. American diplomats are torn between treaty obligations on the one hand and national security on the other as internal factions cleave political consensus at home. Sound familiar? Maybe South Vietnam, 1963? Iran, 1979? Turkey, 2016? Nope. Welcome to America, in the summer of 1793. Wrenching debates as to the wisdom, utility and cost of security alliances are as old as the Republic; indeed, it was through one that the nation achieved its independence in 1783. With them come rewards, opportunities, and dangers—then and now. The earliest efforts of American diplomacy were consumed with how to manage alliance politics in a chaotic world. It was not always pretty—wrestling with these problems, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson grew frustrated and grumbled “I have always considered diplomacy the pest of the world.” This was an understandable outburst given the stress he was under at the time, but when his blood pressure dropped, Jefferson helped create precedents for the handling of security alliances that have conditioned American diplomacy for two centuries.
