According to a letter written to his parents by his Commanding Officer: …He was detailed to take charge of the bombers in the attack on Regina trench, a German stronghold, and, in preparing for the attack, he showed the greatest energy and zeal.

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.

The 27th Battalion had a pipe band with ten pipers and five drummers. Other ranks The 27th Battalion was presented with cap and collar badges by the Mayor of Winnipeg prior to entraining for the East coast. This issue was made by D.R. Dingwall of Winnipeg which continued to supply badges to the 27th Battalion until 1917. This makes the chronology of the issues of badges to this battalion impossible.

On 6 June 1944, Canadian forces took part in the greatest amphibious operation in military history. Over 10,000 Canadian sailors in 11 O warships, 15 RCAF squadrons and 14,000 soldiers took part in D-Day. Juno Beach , one of five assault beaches, was assigned to the Canadian Army's 3rd Infantry Division and 2nd Armoured Brigade. The invasion had been years in the planning. The Canadian disaster at Die12~ proved what an extreme challenge lay ahead. Finally, a target date was set, and the planners settled on the coast of Normandy. It would be risky. German forces in Normandy, led by the experienced General Erwin Rommel, had been strengthening the Atlantic Wall with millions of mines and obstacles. Who were the Canadian soldiers? "You have to remember that we were young, irresponsible, and slowly growing up - but not normal growing up ," recalled Rolph Jackson of the Queen's Own Rifles, "because we joined the army as kids and four years later we were at the beach." Jackson was one of many veterans interviewed for Lance Goddard's D-Day: Juno Beach, Canada's 24 Hours of Destiny (2004).

In particular, our very own ARCG successfully participated in Ex Arctic Ram and performed well as an integral part of 1 CMBG. The future continues to be bright and challenging for our ARCG troops, and the company will now re-role as a Domestic Response Company (DRC) in preparation for whatever Mother Nature brings us this spring. With regards to DRC’s, the Sgt- Maj and I were once again impressed with the response to our alert recall practice where more than 240 soldiers reported to their respective armouries, to exercise our initial DRC response. I am confident that should our communities call for our help in a time of need, the leaders and soldiers of 38 CBG will be there to assist.

A-DH-200-000/AG-000 CHAPTER 8 ALLIANCES, AFFILIATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS CANADIAN CUSTOMS 1. Officially-sanctioned links can be established to foster continuous fraternal connections between military organizations beyond the close, professional relationships which are always encouraged. 2. Three types of official links are maintained by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF): a. an alliance – between Canadian and Commonwealth units or branches/corps; b. an affiliation – between two Canadian units; and c. a partnership – an informal bond of friendship (partnership) between a Canadian unit and a unit from an allied country, such as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Partnerships include "jumelages" (the twinning of Canadian and French units), "partnerschafts" (the twinning of Canadian and German units), and similar bonds. GUIDELINES 3. A Canadian branch or corps is one of the CAF personnel branches or corps described in Chapter 1. Its equivalent in the armed forces of another member of the Commonwealth may be titled as a department, corps or branch. 4. A Canadian unit is a commissioned ship, regiment, flying squadron, or equivalent. Sub-units shall not be authorized alliances, affiliations or partnerships. 5. Since official links create a social obligation to welcome members into each other's "families", they should only be requested if the organizations concerned are prepared to maintain contact over time. 6. In general, requests to forge these links may be made when: a. close ties and personal relationships have developed between units through combined participation in operations or training, regular exchange of personnel on exercises, special meets, parades, competitions, etc.; b.

Gullachsen: The Night of the Panthers The Night of the Panthers The Assault of Kampfgruppe Meyer/Wünsche on Bretteville-l’Orgueilleuse, 8/9 June 1944 ARTHUR GULLACHSEN Abstract : This article provides historical insight into the failure of German armoured counterattacks in the immediate aftermath of the Normandy invasion. The failure of an armoured battlegroup of the 12. SS-Panzerdivision to take the village of Bretteville l’Orgueilleuse on the night of 8/9 June 1944 was not exclusively due to poor planning, lack of coordination and not enough infantry support. Though these factors were present in abundance, the main reason for failure was German confidence in mutated armoured tactics that were successfully used by the Waffen-SS on the Eastern Front. These rough tactics, though successful in the Ukraine in 1943, actually violated established German armoured doctrine. The failure of the Waffen-SS commanders to recognise the need for greater preparation and, by default, larger and more powerful resources doomed their early offensive operations against the Normandy bridgehead, one of which is examined in detail within this article.

Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) Regimental Manual Third Edition 2015 LORD STRATHCONA’S HORSE (ROYAL CANADIANS) REGIMENTAL MANUAL Third Edition (First Edition 1990) (Second Edition 2004) (Third Edition 2015) © Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) Regimental Society, 2015 REGIMENTAL MANUAL AMENDMENT RECORD Amendment Date of Amendment Amendment Number 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. REGIMENTAL MANUAL FOREWORD FOREWORD Regiments are prolific in the world. Some have numbers to identify them (German Panzer Battalion 393; R22eR; etc.). Others have names from the type of unit and the role played as light or heavy cavalry (Scots Dragoon Guards; French 4e Régiment de Chasseurs). Some are associated with places (The Ontario Regiment; South Alberta Light Horse). We belong to a small group that is identified with an individual (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry; Governor General's Horse Guards). What makes the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) unique is that we are named after an individual who used his own money to raise a unit to fight in a foreign war. That individual had an exceptional impact on Canada’s future. Whether it was his association with the exploration of the west through the Hudson’s Bay Company, his singular vote in Parliament that ousted a government, or his driving of the Last Spike of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, there is no question that Donald Smith, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal was an extraordinary individual. The soldiers that carried his name into battle in the Boer War were unique in their own right.
