  • Simcoe School War Memorial Stone
    Simcoe School War Memorial Stone Overview The City of London Culture Office has been informed of a memorial stone that commemorates London soldiers that died during the First World War. Due to the nature of the memorial’s history, its location, ownership, and responsibility for its care are of concern to those that have brought this matter forward. Memorials are covered under the City of London’s definition of public art.1 This report will provide an overview of the Simcoe School War Memorial’s history, design, and significance, to assist in the resolution of this matter. History In 1887, Governor Simcoe School (later re-named Simcoe Street School) was built on the site of the last remaining log-house in London.2 See Figure 1 for a photograph of the original school building. This school was attended by a few notable Londoners, including Guy Lombardo, a famous Canadian violinist and the bandleader of The Royal Canadians. During the First World War, a number of past students from the Simcoe Street School volunteered for overseas duty for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Figure 1. Photograph of Simcoe Street School, also known as Governor Simcoe School.

After the war, many public schools in London felt the need to commemorate their former students that had died while serving overseas. Throughout the 1920s, schools across London commissioned the creation of memorial plaques and honour rolls. For example, honour rolls Simcoe School War Memorial Stone – Research Report 2 were commissioned for Wortley Road School, the former Empress Public School and Talbot Street School, Central Secondary School, Tecumseh Public School, South Secondary School, and Lorne Avenue Public School.

  • The Scotch-Irish in America. ' by Samuel, Swett Green
    32 American Antiquarian Society. [April, THE SCOTCH-IRISH IN AMERICA. ' BY SAMUEL, SWETT GREEN. A TRIBUTE is due from the Puritan to the Scotch-Irishman,"-' and it is becoming in this Society, which has its headquar- ters in the heart of New England, to render that tribute. The story of the Scotsmen who swarmed across the nar- row body of water which separates Scotland from Ireland, in the seventeenth century, and who came to America in the eighteenth century, in large numbers, is of perennial inter- est. For hundreds of years before the beginning of the seventeenth centurj' the Scot had been going forth con- tinually over Europe in search of adventure and gain. A!IS a rule, says one who knows him \yell, " he turned his steps where fighting was to be had, and the pay for killing was reasonably good." ^ The English wars had made his coun- trymen poor, but they had also made them a nation of soldiers. Remember the "Scotch Archers" and the "Scotch (juardsmen " of France, and the delightful story of Quentin Durward, by Sir Walter Scott. Call to mind the " Scots Brigade," which dealt such hard blows in the contest in Holland with the splendid Spanish infantry which Parma and Spinola led, and recall the pikemen of the great Gustavus. The Scots were in the vanguard of many 'For iickiiowledgments regarding the sources of information contained in this paper, not made in footnotes, read the Bibliographical note at its end. ¡' 2 The Seotch-líiáh, as I understand the meaning of the lerm, are Scotchmen who emigrated to Ireland and such descendants of these emigrants as had not through intermarriage with the Irish proper, or others, lost their Scotch char- acteristics.

  • On the Trail of the Newfoundland Caribou
    On the Trail of the Newfoundland Caribou Patriotic Tour 2016 France & Belgium In Conjunction with the Churches of Newfoundland and Labrador June 26 - July 5, 2016 • 10 Days • 16 Meals Escorted by Rt. Rev. Dr. Geoff Peddle Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador Caribou Monument at Beaumont Hamel A NEWFOUNDLAND PILGRIMAGE ON THE TRAIL OF THE CARIBOU The years 2014-2018 mark the 100th anniversaries of the First World War. We must never forget the tremendous contributions and horrendous sacrifices that so many Newfoundlanders and Labradorians made to that cause. Fighting in the uniforms of both the Navy and the Army, in the Merchant Marine and the Forestry Corps, our brave forebears never hesitated to stand in harm’s way to protect our homes, our families and our values. While many of them paid the supreme sacrifice, many more came home wounded in body and/or mind. We must also never forget the suffering at home of a generation for whom the effects of that war would be felt for the rest of their lives. The pastoral guidance was provided by many Newfoundland Padres who served the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, including Padre Tom Nangle who went on to become Newfoundland’s representative on the Imperial War Graves Commission. His vision brought the “Trail of the Caribou” to reality, and is the touchstone for many of those who wish to stand “where once they stood.” Knowing that many of those brave soldiers were members of our Newfoundland Churches, we have vowed to mark this important anniversary by a spiritual pilgrimage, to the battlefields of Europe in the summer of 2016.

  • The Gate of Eternal Memories: Architecture Art and Remembrance
    CONTESTED TERRAINS SAHANZ PERTH 2006 JOHN STEPHENS THE GATE OF ETERNAL MEMORIES: ARCHITECTURE ART AND REMEMBRANCE. John Richard Stephens Faculty of Built Environment Art and Design, Curtin University of Technology, Perth Western Australia, Australia. ABSTRACT The Menin Gate is a large memorial in Belgium to British Empire troops killed and missing during the battles of the Ypres Salient during the First World War. Designed by the architect Reginald Blomfield in 1922 it commemorates the 56,000 soldiers whose bodies were never found including 6,160 Australians. Blomfield’s sobering memorial has symbolic architectural meaning, and signifi- cance and commemorative meaning to relatives of those whose names appeared on the sur- faces of the structure. In 1927 the Australian artist and soldier William Longstaff painted his alle- gorical painting “Menin gate at Midnight showing the Gate as an ethereal structure in a brood- ing landscape populated with countless ghostly soldiers. The painting was an instant success and was reverentially exhibited at all Australian capital cities. From the contested terrain of war re- membrance this paper will argue that both the Gate and its representation in “Menin Gate at Midnight” are linked through the commemorative associations that each employ and have in common. “Here was the world’s worst wound. And Imperial War Graves cemetery. As a product of here with pride particular political and ethical policies, the bodies ‘Their name liveth for evermore’ the of British Empire soldiers were not returned to their Gateway claims. countries but buried close to where they met their Was ever an immolation so belied As these intolerably nameless names? fate.

  • 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.
