wireTHE June 2010 The Royal Corps of Signals THE WIRE, JUNE 2010 THE SIGNAL OFFICER IN CHIEF’S GREAT ROYAL SIGNALS BIKE RIDE During June 2010 a team of us will ride our bikes from John O’Groats in northeast Scotland to Land’s End at the western tip of Cornwall. First and foremost the trip will be a physical training exercise, during which we will test our strength and stamina and push the boundaries of our endurance and determination. However, it will also be a farewell tour for the Corps RSM and myself before we hand over to our successors, and for this reason the route has been extended to visit several Royal Signals units. Moreover, as we pass through Catterick we will visit the Corps Memorial Chapel, from which I will personally carry one of the Corps’ smaller treasures to All Saints Church at Blandford Camp. We will arrive at Blandford just in time for the Royal Signals Association Weekend, during which the Princess Royal will be inaugurating All Saints as the new Corps Chapel. Finally we will use the Bike Ride to raise awareness of the Royal Signals Benevolent Fund in this, the Corps’ 90th year. I am proud of the rich and broad network of friendships that links the soldiers and officers of our great Corps, young and old, serving and retired. I am therefore particularly pleased that the bike ride team will include a number of junior ranks from 19 Light Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron (209) as well as the Regimental Colonel (Colonel Olly Halstead), Colonel Charles Turner, Lieutenant Colonel Guy Richards, the Corps RSM (WO1 (CRSM) Dave Taylor) and myself. We will also be joined, on each of the nineteen legs, by riders from the units that we will be visiting. This is a military endurance and team building exercise rather than a charity event. However, donations to the Royal Signals Benevolent Fund are always needed in order to help Royal Signals personnel and families, past and present, who have fallen on hard times.

Remittances should be made payable to Royal Signals Benevolent Fund EDITORIAL CONTENTS It is appropriate that my first words in The Wire should be to thank Alan for all his support in the lead up to me taking over as Page editor and to wish him and Sue all the very best for when they finally retire to France. It is my aim to try and maintain the high Movements 2 standard that Alan has set, achievable, I hope, through a continuation of the numerous quality articles submitted and, News from Regiments 3 thankfully, the support of my Assistant editor Amy. News from Squadrons 58 My first impressions – there is a lot of news coming in from units, Other Units 73 organisations and individuals with only a limited amount of space to publish it all. As we try to maintain a level of currency the Adventure Training 77 preference is to publish articles as close to the event as possible, so to get as much in as possible we may have to edit down some Sport 80 of your contributions or leave out some of your photographs. The Royal Signals Association 83 Please do not be offended, it is not a slight on your article but a solution to what we see as a problem we are happy to have. Donations 85 The other request that is becoming more popular is the inclusion Last Post 88 of a montage of photographs with articles, principally from Units Obituaries 88 returning from operational tours. We are happy to provide this service but the key areas to consider are that firstly it does take Lost Communications 91 up a lot of space and secondly please consider the quality and variance of the material submitted. The subjects in the Miscellaneous Stories 91 foreground may change, but if the background is the same, any Book Review 91 montage will not have the desired impact. Advertisements 92 Enough said on my first impressions. The simple fact is that Amy and I are here to produce your magazine with your news, reports TA Paintings 95 and information. Please keep submitting your articles and we will continue to try and meet all your aspirations.

    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.

Linear feet of shelf space occupied: 4 Number of reels of microfilm: 62 Literary rights in the SHAEF records are in the public domain. These records were processed in accordance with the general restrictions on access to government records as set forth by the National Archives. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) was a joint U.S. - British military organization created in England in February 1944 to carry out the invasion of Western Europe. Dwight D. Eisenhower, an officer of the United States Army, was appointed Supreme Allied Commander. Eisenhower organized his staff along U.S. military lines with separate staff sections devoted to personnel (G-1), intelligence (G-2), operations (G-3), logistics (G-4) and civilian affairs (G-5). The most significant files at SHAEF were kept in the Office of the Secretary of the General Staff (SGS). The SGS office served as a type of central file for SHAEF. The highest-level documents that received the personal attention of the Supreme Allied Commander and the Chief of Staff usually ended up in the SGS files. Many of the staff sections and administrative offices at SHAEF retired material to the SGS files.

    The Omagh Bombing - a Medical Perspective Capt SJO Potter Bsc (Hons), MB, Chb, RAMC RMO

    J R Army Med Corps 2000; 146: 18-21 J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-146-01-04 on 1 February 2000. Downloaded from The Omagh Bombing - A Medical Perspective Capt SJO Potter BSc (Hons), MB, ChB, RAMC RMO 4 Royal Irish Regiment, BFPO 804 Dr GE Carter MB, ChB, DRCOG GP Trainee SUMMARY: The bomb in Omagh on the 15th August 1998 was responsible for the largest loss of life of any single terrorist incident in the whole of the “Troubles” in Northern Ireland. However, the medical response to this tragedy provided an excellent opportunity for the civilian and military agencies to work together. As a consequence of this a number of lessons were drawn which are presented in the paper. Whatever the outcome of the peace process these lessons will have an important role in the future, since history would suggest that there is little possibility of the terrorist threat ever completely receding.

(VBIED) The Good Friday Agreement heralded a new era for the small district general hospital - The Tyrone County. The people of Northern Ireland. It was with great belief in the Ulster Ballygawley Bus bombing in 1988 (8 dead) and the Teebane Referendum that they dared to look forward to peace. The massacre in 1992 (8 dead) had been the previous largest Canary Wharf, Thiepval Barracks and Manchester bombings atrocities in the area although there had also been many smaller which all occured during previous PIRA cease-fires provided shootings and bombings locally.

There is much practical support available to both serving personnel and their families and veterans and their dependants. However, access to such support is often obscured by lack of detailed information or shrouded by information overload, to the extent that an individual in need may have trouble identifying exactly where to turn for help. This Handbook is intended to assist the whole Service community by clearly spelling out “who does what for whom” and by identifying local contact details. It is intended to be a reference document and to act as a sign-post to local agencies which, once contacted, can then follow up with support intervention as required. Stakeholders and gate-keepers are urged to use it if a member of the Service community in need comes to their attention. The Handbook is as comprehensive as possible and identifies the major support organisations available to the Service community in Northern Ireland, and especially to veterans and their dependants.
