We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

Kempling B.A., Royal Military College 1965 M.P.A., University of Victoria 1978 M.A. (History), University of Victoria 2011 Supervisory Committee Dr. David Zimmerman, Supervisor Department of History Dr. John Lutz, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Jentery Sayers, Outside Member Department of English iii Abstract This dissertation is a combined digital history-narrative history project. It takes advantage of newly digitized historical newspapers and soldier files to explore how the people of Victoria B.C. Canada, over 8000 kilometers from the front, experienced the Great War 1914-1918. Although that experience was similar to other Canadian cities in many ways, in other respects it was quite different. Victoria’s geographical location on the very fringe of the Empire sets it apart. Demographic and ethnic differences from the rest of Canada and a very different history of indigenous-settler relations had a dramatic effect on who went to war, who resisted and how war was commemorated in Victoria.

Urban planning resources are not part of this com­ pilation. All references in this bibliography are Web sites with a URL (Universal/Uniform Resource Locator) or Internet address beginning with the Internet protocol designator http://. Because the URL must include the Internet protocol designator, we have shown the Web protocol designator. The two most popular graphical Web browsers, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, both default to a Web URL when the Internet protocol designator is not included. Those accessing the Internet through a proxy server, a firewall or who have high-security browser settings may encounter problems with some of these Web sites. The resources are organized alphabetically by the author of the Web site content, or by Web site title. The URLs are underlined since that is the default display mode in many Web browsers. There is no full stop (period) at the end of the URL because this punctuation mark is sometimes part of the URL. Some specialized and all Federal government sites offer bilingual services.
