The Queens Colour The Regimental Colour ANNUAL NEWSLETTER OF THE LORNE SCOTS (PEEL DUFFERIN & HALTON REGIMENT) The State of the Regiment Lorne Scots, It is 204 years since our predecessors in the 2nd York left their homes and farms to answer the call against the American invasion of 1812 and 150 years that the Regiment has been serving Canada in its official history. That legacy is one that every member of the Regiment should and must wear proudly, as you are stewards for those that have gone before you. Our remembrance of the Regiment’s service began with the Colonel in Chief’s visit in September, but it will carry on until the end of 2018, when we mark the end of the first world war. This April will see the BATTLE OF ARRAS (1917), which includes Vimy Ridge, commemorated here and in France. In August, we will recognize HILL 70, where 6 VC’s were awarded, one of them won by Sergeant Fredrick Hobson of the 20th (Central Ontar- io) Battalion, which was for a time the Peel Regiment’s 2nd Battalion. The last centenary commemoration will be the PURSUIT TO MONS, which on 11 November 1918 ended Canada’s Hundred Days battles, in the same place where the war had begun, Mons. Personally, the last year has been an exercise of discovery. I found out elements of our collective history of which I knew absolutely nothing about. That history includes all kinds. LCol Stoughton Dennis, Peel’s 2nd commanding officer, who initiated the Battle of Fort Erie and was seen escaping the Fenians after donning a disguise. Acting Major Lennard Halliday (later the CO of The Peel & Dufferin Regiment) who won a Military Cross while leading 4 companies of the 20th Battalion CEF at Passchendaele and never talked about that experience. George King Chisholm, first CO of the 20th Halton Battalion of Infantry, whose family still has the musket with a ball embedded in the butt, which he carried during the Battle of Montgomery’s Tavern in 1837. Sgt “Buck” Hutchinson of Caledon East serving with the 4th BN, who was awarded the MM and won the epithet of ‘battalion murderer’, killing 31 enemy in two days at the Canal du Nord and at Abancourt Ridge. My own memory includes the service of our soldiers in Cyprus, Yugoslavia, Africa, South West & South East Asia; but we have soldiers who are young enough that they do not have the first hand or “institutional” knowledge of even our service in Afghanistan. It is our job to teach them that there is an unbroken ribbon of service that goes back over two hundred years and to give them the tools they will need to carry that ribbon forward for another two hundred. Air Son Ar Dutchais LCol T Ruggle Commanding Officer 06 ANNUAL NEWSLETTER OF THE LORNE SCOTS (PEEL DUFFERIN & HALTON REGIMENT) ANNUAL NEWSLETTER OF THE LORNE SCOTS (PEEL DUFFERIN & HALTON REGIMENT) From the Outgoing Commanding Officer It is with a heavy heart that I write this, my last article as Commanding Officer. To say that the past year has been anything but amazing would be an understatement. Everything that your regiment has asked of you in our 150th year has been accomplished to the highest of standards that you should all be proud to be a part of. The work- load in a “normal” year would be a lot to ask however this past year went above and beyond. On the operational front the Regiment has been there and our soldiers, you, have stepped to the plate and excelled. Force generating soldiers at all levels including individual, section, platoon and company formations for all tasks assigned by bri- gade is always an endeavour. The Lorne Scots completed the usual training re- quirements such as IBTS on both Able Warrior exercises, winter warfare on the Ex Cold Starts and field training Ex Aggressive Viper. A highlight was the live firing of the C6 and C9 support weapons. Most attendees were able to get some trigger time and fired at least one box of ammo each. Last minute requests by higher are a constant, yet you all continued to fill these and I thank you for your flexibility in your ability to fill such tasking’s. My visit to Bury, Lancashire, UK to visit HRH and brief him and his staff on the state of The Regiment and 150th schedule was also accomplished in Apr 16. The support from the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers for our anniversary was amazing and I am grateful as many could attend as did. The past few years’ members of the Regiment and Association have been working hard and it all came to fruition in September. For me personally the past year has been a fantastic culmination of a 30-year career with the Lorne Scots and I am thankful I was a part of it. To all those involved I thank you. To have all the festivities over- seen by our Colonel-In-Chief, HRH Field Marshal The Duke of Kent was an honour. To have him available for the monument unveilings, dinners and luncheons and of course The Trooping and Gala was outstanding and I thank him for his time and commitment as our Colonel-In-Chief.

  • 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.

    Title: The Canadian Army Battle Drill School at Rowlands Castle 1942 Author: Brian Tomkinson Date: January 2017 Summary: This report has been inspired by the “Secrets of the High Woods” Project, funded by the South Downs national Park and the National Lottery. The object of this report is to link features identified by the LIDAR survey with military activities in the Rowlands Castle/Stansted Park area and specifically to tell the story of the Canadian Army Training School while it was located in Rowlands Castle. Apart from being of interest to local residents it is also hoped that the report will assist people engaged in family history research. This article is published with the kind permission of the author. This article is the work and views of the author from research undertaken in the Record Offices by volunteers of the Secrets of the High Woods project. South Downs National Park Authority is very grateful to the volunteers for their work but these are not necessarily the views of the Authority. 1 The Canadian Army Battle Drill School at Rowlands Castle – 1942 Foreword This report has been inspired by the “Secrets of the High Woods” Project, funded by the South Downs national Park and the National Lottery. The project is based on an airborne LiDAR survey covering an area of the South Downs National Park roughly between the A3 road in the west and the river Arun in the east. The survey was carried out to reveal archaeological ground features currently hidden and protected by existing woodland. A Key element of the project was volunteer community involvement.
