49Er1965no069 1915 JUBILEE YEAR 1965 JANUARY 1915 - JANUARY 1965 THE FORTY-NINER I wish to take this opportunity on behalf of the citizens and Government of Alberta to join in paying tribute to the men of the 49th Battalion, The Loyal Edmonton Regiment, on the occasion of its Golden Jubilee anniversary. The 49th Battalion, The Loyal Edmonton Regiment, has a proud and distinguished record down through the years both in peace and war. As a result of my limited association with the Regiment, it is with personal pride that I extend sincere best wishes on this memorable occasion in the history of the 49th Battalion, The Loyal Edmonton Regiment.

MAYOR CITY OF EDMONTON Page 3 of 47 JANUARY 1915 - JANUARY 1965 THE FORTY-NINER In Memory of Our Gallant Commander, GEN. W. A. GRIESBACH. C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., V.D., D.C. — Barney Morrison, “D” Coy. Page 4 of 47 JANUARY 1915 - JANUARY 1965 THE FORTY-NINER OUR CAP BADGE To most soldiers a cap badge is more than just an emblem to let people know what unit they belong to, or something that must be shined, it is a symbol that embodies their pride in their regiment. In primitive times, men painted their bodies so as to be recognized in battle. The coming of armour changed this to the decorating of the armour. Often for this purpose flowers or other symbols were used. A good example of this type is the leek which is still used today. It was first used in 640 A.D. and today is the cap badge of the Welsh Guards. In 1384, Richard II of England decreed that all knights would wear the cross of St. George during the civil war. This was found to be confusing, so some units added to this with the use of scarves and flowers. The design of a cap badge even today is added to when there are changes within the unit. This we and with our own unit. We started with just a maple leaf and a 49 on it and then after some deliberation, a contest was held and the winning design of the windmills of Flanders, the coyote pup “Lestock” head, the numeral 49 and of course the maple leaf and the crown were put together by Pte. ????? and this was the winning design that was to be the basis of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment cap badge. It was changed a few times as the story of the following pages describe and thus . our badge. Page 5 of 47 JANUARY 1915 - JANUARY 1965 THE FORTY-NINER cooperation and judging by the reception the Managing Committee has received from those approached for assistance, there is no need for apprehension on this score. President 's Message The Regiment has the reputation of doing everything undertaken thoroughly, and we are sure the boys will put their shoulders to the wheel and boost the effort along in the manner expected of them. While necessarily there must be some routine news published, it is not the intention to devote too much space to dry and serious reading matter. What we need are articles, anecdotes and short stories in the lighter vein. If you hear a good story, write it up and send it to the editor. If you cannot write it, tell it to someone who can, for it is only fair if you get a good laugh that you should pass it on. The sport will also be boosted. In conclusion we would say that under the most favorable conditions the work in connection with the publication of such a magazine is not by any means a sinecure, but under active service conditions it is doubly hard. All the work is being done gratuitously in whatever spare time can be snatched from the rather strenuous routine, so if our efforts appear very humble we would remind the men that ‘patience is a virtue,’ and ask them instead of condemning, to co-operate with us in bringing it up to the high standard every other undertaking in the regiment has attained. Then we will be going some!” Next year—our Fiftieth Anniversary Year— should prove most interesting and rewarding, the tentative program of events appears in this issue, and it is my desire that our celebrations should be worthy of our achievements in peace and war. Others in high places would appear to share this view because the perpetuating Militia Battalion, the Loyal Edmonton MAJOR K. WAKEFIELD, C.D. Regiment (3PPCLI) has been relatively untouched in the current reorganization of the Canadian Army Militia.

  • The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-39
    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.

But I never saw him reading any of them and the only writing of his own that survives are his meticulous account books and a dry-as-dust book on how to set up a company in Brazil. We never tried to persuade him to write a memoir of his life – I think we knew that he wouldn’t have done so, for his Irishness was of a rather puritan kind and, despite an interesting life, he was not a man to talk about it or to see it in a wider perspective.
