Family Memories / Souvenirs de famille Sylvester John Maj, “Sly” as he liked being called by his friends and colleagues began his “dream job” in April of 1991 when he joined the TFD. Shortly before his death, he moved up to Acting Captain and was ecstatic about it. Sly’s jobs always required wearing a uniform: a Correctional Officer at Metro West Detention Centre where he worked with young offenders right before joining the fire department; an armoured guard for Loomis / Securicor (over 10 years part-time); a senior mining engineer for 11 years with a masters in explosives in his native Poland . Sly was a man of many interests. He loved reading books, doing Sudoku and sports such as sailing, karate and especially skydiving (having over 1,200 jumps and training Special Forces). He was my skydiving instructor and 2 years later, a husband for almost 26 years; a father to our 3 daughters: Paulina, Emily (Gem) and Margaret. He will be remembered forever.

Family Memories / Souvenirs de famille Dave first started his firefighting career by joining the Langford Volunteer Fire Department in 1987. He was hired on with CFB Esquimalt Fire Rescue on September 1st 1988. Dave was very passionate and dedicated to his department which was very apparent as he was one of the fire department’s master EMS instructors/trainers. Dave often took the new recruits in under his wing and mentored them. Dave was always the first to organize a donation drive to assist those affected by any type of disaster whether it was natural or manmade. It didn’t matter if it was in his local community or on the other side of the world. Dave was always determined to help. Dave will be fondly remembered for his infectious smile, terrific sense of humor, love of practical jokes and his dedication to his beloved Terry Fox run. You could never miss Dave; whether it was at the fire hall or on the baseball field, his “booming umpire voice” was an indication that he was present. Dave had an extreme love for Christmas and his Christmas spirit was nothing short of contagious. Dave led his department to three consecutive first-place finishes in the local Christmas Fire Truck parade. Dave will be forever loved and missed by all who were blessed to have met him, especially his loving wife Jody, daughter Courtney and son David. “Heroes get remembered, legends never die.” Until we meet again, pleasant dreams and lots of ‘em 2014 Memorial Service 5 Service commémoratif 2014 CAPTAIN DAVID CARTMEL BRANTFORD (ON) FIRE DEPT.

Le Capitaine David Cartmel a succombé à une maladie professionnelle le 3 septembre 2012. Il s’est joint au service d’incendie en 1986. Family Memories / Souvenirs de famille From a young age, Dave dreamt about becoming a firefighter. His dream became reality in January 1986. As a result of his dedicated efforts, he was promoted to Captain on September 5, 2006. Dave was very proud to be part of the firefighter family and loved mentoring the junior members, sharing both his knowl - edge and passion unconditionally. Dave enjoyed his time away from the hall spending time with his wife Debbie and their two sons, Ben and Matt, who he was so very proud of. Amongst his friends and family, Dave was the "go to guy" when something needed fixing. Anyone who knew Dave knew he wasn't afraid of work. Dave Cartmel was a respected firefighter, a man's man, an outstanding husband and a dedicated father. Simply put he was the best of the best. Dave would be humbled and honoured to be recognized at this year's memorial ceremony. FIREFIGHTER RANDY BURCH TORONTO (ON) FIRE SERVICES Firefighter Randall (Randy) Burch died from a work-related illness on November 12, 2012. He joined the fire service in 1986. Le pompier Randall (Randy) Burch a succombé à une maladie professionnelle le 12 novembre 2012. Il s’est joint au service d’incendie en 1986. Family Memories / Souvenirs de famille Randy served Toronto Fire Services proudly and enthusiastically, beginning prior to amalgamation, with the Etobicoke Fire Department. His number 407 from those early days remains special to us. Randy was such a happy, positive and talented person. He gave 100% to everything he did, always. If anyone was in need of help, Randy would jump in with the right tools and an action plan! Randy thoroughly enjoyed life; he loved to fish and hunt, played multiple sports, was an avid supporter and coach of his daughter's soccer teams, and made time to share is immense building skills both at home and in cottage country with his dear friends and colleagues. He was also a perfectionist in the kitchen and everyone looked forward to his soups and Caesar salad, and if you were lucky, you would get his Christmas shortbreads! Randy inspired us all by finding ways to remain positive, giving and loving even as he endured the challenges of his illness. He appeared in the TFS Mask Up safety training video hoping to make a difference for others. He was a wonderful, caring husband to Edith for 29 years. Randy’s spirit of generosity, enthusiasm for life and the confidence to rise to life’s challenges lives on in his two beautiful daughters, Madeline and Julia of whom he was so very proud. Randy would be highly honored by the memorial ceremony. He is missed by his many friends, his parents Bob and Eleanor Burch, siblings Blair, Rob, Rick, Lynn and their families, and his entire in-law family with love and incredible appreciation for all he did for us during our privileged time with him.

  • Prologue the Bombardment Had Lasted Long Time. Violent, Harsh and Ceaseless As Usual. Nothing Had Been Spared. Not the Field Ho
    Prologue The bombardment had lasted long time. Violent, harsh and ceaseless as usual. Nothing had been spared. Not the field hospitals, not the foxholes where the men lived hold up, not the advanced lines. When the guns stopped their fire, Sergeant Sidney Gilian, First Armoured Division , got down on his knees, looked at the sky above and exclaimed: “ God, help us! You come yourself. Do not send Jesus: this is no place for Children.” Corporal Christopher S. Hayes, Royal Scots Fusiliers , Second Battalion, "A" Company, First Infantry Division, reached the shores of the landings around two a.m. It was late January. Seen the season, it was not very cold. A short but heavy bombardment had hit the coastline and the inland before the landing. Once ashore, the Scots advanced in the darkness amid rubbles, their finger on the trigger of their Enfields . There was no sign of the enemy. At the break of day, an officer arrived. He pointed on his military map an objective, lighting it by his electric torch: a wood towards the village of Carroceto. Here the Scots should have gathered for advancing inland. The patrol had just moved towards its new objective, when Hayes heard something. It was a kind of groan, a strangled and repeated sob. The cry of a wounded animal? The rattle of a dying? It was coming from not afar. Advancing with great caution, Hayes went to see. That was no place for children. However, in that place, there was a child. A little girl. She was, perhaps, five or six years- old.

  • Interagency Intelligence During the Malayan Emergency
    ‘Our Achilles’ Heel’ – Interagency Intelligence during the Malayan Emergency. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Roger Christopher Arditti Brunel Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies September 2015 1 ‘Our Achilles’ Heel’ – Interagency intelligence during the Malayan Emergency.1 Abstract The Malayan Emergency is often considered the defining paradigm for a successful counter-insurgency campaign. The effective collection and management of intelligence by Special Branch dominates this paradigm. However, the intelligence architecture during Emergency was much more complicated than the simple Special Branch-Army nexus upon which existing studies focus. Other components of the intelligence included the Malayan Security Service (MSS), Security Intelligence Far East (SIFE), the Joint Intelligence Committee / Far East (JIC/FE), the Royal Air Force (RAF), the Army, and the mainstream police. Each component adapted to the challenge of insurgency in different ways – the civilian elements faring far worse than the military. Britain struggled to adapt to the post-war intelligence challenges in the Far East. Key intelligence components and capabilities were constituted in haste with overlapping and ambiguous remits. Consequently, there was bitter infighting at a number of levels, particularly between the various civilian intelligence agencies. In contrast, the Army and RAF demonstrated an instinctive ability to work in a ‘joint’ environment from the very beginning of the Emergency. In particular, the RAF took a leading role in creating a joint theatre-level intelligence apparatus which included establishment of a Joint Operations Room in Kuala Lumpur and the Joint Intelligence Photographic Intelligence Committee / Far East. However, the military were unable to provide the comprehensive human intelligence or strategic leadership necessary to make the broader apparatus effective.

  • Footsteps Across Time
    CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY DEFENCE COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY Security and Resilience Group Department of Defence Management and Security Analysis PhD Thesis Academic Year 2007-8 Peter Caddick-Adams, TD, BA (Hons) FOOTSTEPS ACROSS TIME The Evolution, Use and Relevance of Battlefield Visits to the British Armed Forces Supervisor: Professor CD Bellamy Presented 1 November 2007 © Cranfield University 2007. All rights Reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright holder Footsteps Across Time ABSTRACT This study examines the educational use made by military forces around the world, but primarily those of the United Kingdom, of visits to past battlefields. Investigation suggests this practice commenced formally in Prussia and may be nearing its 200 th anniversary; certainly the British Army’s Staff College at Camberley has been visiting battlefields for educational purposes since at least 1885. To date, no extended academic study of this practice has been undertaken, and no specific use of the Staff College Battlefield Tour Archive has been made in this context. An examination is made of educational theory, by which the effectiveness and value of battlefield visiting can be measured. This study creates a typology of battlefield visiting, and thus acknowledges a much older civilian tradition of making pilgrimages to past scenes of conflict (initially to pray for the souls of the dead), which later evolved into civilian battlefield tourism to destinations such as Waterloo and Gettysburg. The work examines the nature of British battlefield visiting, using the Staff College Battlefield Tour Archive, in four phases: before the First World War; during the inter-war period; during the post-Second World War and Cold War periods, and at the time of writing.
