  • 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.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Canadian Military History by an authorized editor of Scholars Commons @ Laurier. For more information, please contact [email protected]. : A Historiography of C Force FEATURE A Historiography of C Force TONY BANHAM Abstract: Following the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in 1941, a small number of books covering the then Colony’s war experiences were published. Although swamped by larger and more significant battles, the volume of work has expanded in the years since and is no longer insignificant. This historiography documents that body of literature, examining trends and possible future directions for further study with particular respect to the coverage of C Force. h e f a t e o f the 1,975 men and two women of C Force, sent T to Hong Kong just before the Japanese invaded, has generated a surprising volume of literature. It was fate too that a Canadian, Major General Arthur Edward Grasett, was the outgoing commander of British troops in China— including the Hong Kong garrison— in mid-1941 (being replaced that August by Major General Christopher M altby of the Indian army), and fate that his determination that the garrison be reinforced would see a Briton, Brigadier John Kelburne Lawson, arrive from Canada in November 1941 as commander of this small force sent to bolster the colony’s defences.

  • The Sherbrooke Hussars : in Hoc Signo Stabilitas (Steadfast by This Sign
    Daniel Bromby 127 THE SHERBROOKE HUSSARS: IN HOC SIGNO STABILITAS (STEADFAST BY THIS SIGN)1 Daniel Bromby Bishop’s University he Sherbrooke Hussars can trace their origins back to 1803 when T a militia corps was put together under the leadership of Sir John Johnson. This Eastern Townships Militia saw action during the war of 1812 with the United States and, in 1836, a company was raised to subdue the Papineau riots and fought in the rebellion of 1836–1837. The official history of the Regiment begins on September 21, 1866 when the Sherbrooke Battalion of Infantry was formed to meet the threat of invasion caused by the Fenians. Less than one year later on March 22, 1867, the unit was divided in two, creating the 53rd Battalion of Infantry in Sherbrooke (QC) and the 54th Richmond Battalion of Infantry in Melbourne (QC). Later that year, another unit was formed, the 58th Compton Battalion of Infantry, located in Cookshire (QC). The, 53rd, 54th and 58th are considered the Regiment’s original units and its members saw duty in the Fenian raids in 1866 (Stanstead Plain) and in 1870 (Frelighsburg). Several members of these three original units were deployed and served with the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry during the Boer War (18991902). Following this war, Canadian militia recognized the need to augment the number of cavalry units. This is why, in 1903, the 54th Richmond Regiment and the 58th Compton Regiment were converted into cavalry units and became the XIth Hussars and the 7th Hussars respectively. As for the 53rd Battalion of Infantry, in 1900, it would become known as the 53rd Sherbrooke Regiment.
