  • The the 50Th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics
    The The 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch “In the Shadows of the Limelight” The tales, anecdotes, salty dips and rumoured to be true stories from those who served Edition 1 January 18, 2019 Edited by LCol Mike Hendrigan, CD (Retired) Dedication n putting this collection of stories together, I often wondered if a dedication was required, and it was, how would I word it? I pondered the subject for way too long and as the weeks I turned into months, I thought about possible options and formats. In my research into what I thought would be an easy matter, I found the following information on dedications: A dedication could be addressed to a parent, a sibling or other family member, a friend a supervisor or even a mascot. Ok, this was a start. A dedication could be formal or informal, and provide a reason. There is no one way to write a dedication. Darn, back to square one. So with no right answer, no fixed format and no further ahead, I came up with a couple dedications that seemed appropriate. If you want to see what I came up with, keep reading. Otherwise, skip this part and flip a few pages forward to the first “Log Tale”. On my first attempt, I came up with this: This book is dedicated to the thousands of serving logisticians who will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch on 1 February 2018. That seemed a little too vanilla and bland, so I came up with a second version: To all logisticians, past and present, who supported CAF operations, missions and exercises with honour.

  • Operational Training and Antisubmarine Air Warfare on Canada’S East Coast - the Second Word War Collected Papers
    Operational Training and Antisubmarine Air Warfare on Canada’s East Coast - The Second Word War Collected Papers Gerry Madigan Personal Archives – RAF Museum London located on the former Hendon Aerodrome,14 June 2014 – Lockheed Hudson Bomber 23 March 2018 Disclaimer The conclusions and opinions expressed in this document are those of the author cultivated in the freedom of expression and of an academic environment. 1 Biographical Gerry (GD) Madigan, CD, MSc, MA is a retired logistician, Canadian Armed Forces. Major (Retired) Madigan’s career spanned 28 Years as a finance officer. His notable postings included time served at National Defence Headquarters, CFB Europe, Maritime Canada and The First Gulf War as comptroller in Qatar. He is a graduate of Saint Francis Xavier University (BSc), McGill University (MSc) and the Royal Military College of Canada (Master of Arts War Studies). “Collected Papers - Operational Training and Antisubmarine Air Warfare on Canada’s East Coast” origins arise from a series of papers for refereed journals and for local aviation museums. These accounts were written first and were the foundations for my book “At the crossroads of time: the story of Operational Training Unit 31, RCAF No. 7 Squadron, and RCAF Tiger Force Debert Airfield during the Second World War”. The papers are individual - stand alone records of air training of what was at the time, the nascent beginnings of anti-submarine warfare on Canada’s East Coast. This book is dedicated to the men and women who lived and died at what was essentially on the home front, here in Canada, on Canada’s East Coast during the Second World War.
