The Queens Colour The Regimental Colour PAGE 4 ANNUAL NEWSLETTER OF THE LORNE SCOTS (PEEL DUFFERIN & HALTON) REGIMENT Commanding Officer’s Message In the 143 rd year of our Regiment I am pleased to advise that we are strong and our soldiers are engaged at all levels. In the last year we have seen some significant accomplishments including but not limited to the following: ο The safe return of all of our soldiers from Afghanistan; ο News that Cpl Strudwick of C Company will soon be awarded the Sacrifice Medal for the injury he sustained in an IED strike while operationally deployed to Afghanistan; ο The successful deployment of soldiers from 32 CBG, under the command of the Lorne Scots, to the United States National Training Center (NTC) in Fort Irwin, California, for Exercise Khyber Thrust. This training was in support of the 11th Armoured Calvery Regiment (11 ACR) as they conducted the Iraq Theatre pre deployment FTX for The North Carolina National Guard's 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team (30 HBCT); ο The unprecedented number of junior NCO’s, senior NCO’s and Junior officers achieving their leadership qualifications; ο The Regimental Association Pipes and Drums successfully deployed to England in support of our Allied Regi- ment the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Their performance earned the thanks and accolades of our British allies from civilian to general officer to Royal; ο Five members of the Regimental Rifle team successfully competed at the Canadian Forces Small Arms Con- centration (CFSAC) with Cpl Warner of B Company placing 13 th overall for the Queens Medal at Bisley; ο Our Five affiliated Cadet Corps are strong and active within the communities of Milton, Oakville, Orangeville, Brampton and Georgetown. ο The Regimental Association is actively engaged with both current and former serving members with a view to enhancing its interaction and increasing participation in Regimental activities at all levels; ο 21 soldiers of the Regiment are currently conducting pre deployment training for Afghanistan as part of Task Force 1-10. And finally, a Regimental Change of Command was conducted in June. None of this could have been accomplished without the Dedication and Sacrifice of our members both past and present. Indeed it has been a good year!! The road ahead, however, will be challenging. Today we face a unique situation within the Regiment, however, it is unique by nature of the fact that it is new to most of our soldiers. In a historical context - what was old is new again. We face the challenges of leadership, succession, financial restriction, the Welfare of our soldiers and an aging infrastructure. Of the 21 Lorne Scots deploying overseas 13 are from the ranks of MCpl to MWO and there are many self identified officers who are chomping at the bit to be added to this number. The deployment of these soldiers will have a significant impact on the Regiment both in terms of personnel reduction at the sub-unit level and the fact that many of these leaders are the ones that we tradi- tionally count on when the job needed to get done. In order to successfully move forward we will all have to fill the void. For those who have contently stood by in the background – it is time to stand up and step forward. The Junior Ranks are strong and teeming with both newly promoted and experienced Master Corporals. One need only listen to the jovial downtime conversations or observe the impromptu MMA training sessions to realize that enthusiasm and pride are in no short supply among the ranks. PAGE 5 ANNUAL NEWSLETTER OF THE LORNE SCOTS (PEEL DUFFERIN & HALTON) REGIMENT The Senior NCO ranks have received an injection of youth with the promotion of more Sergeants and Warrant Officers in the last year then we have seen in at least the last 10 years. With this influx of Senior NCO’s we can be re-assured that the backbone of the Regiment is strong and that the guardians of the Lorne Scots Standard are in place for the years to come. We currently enjoy the luxury of a strong and keen corps of qualified Junior officers. This is something that many Regiments cannot say. Our challenge, however, is to promote professional advancement and competence as the next few years will bring a rapid reduction in the Regiments senior officer corps as a number of long serving senior officers move on to a much deserved retirement. To the young officers the challenge is yours to lead the Regiment into the next decade and beyond. In the words of Field Marshall Sir William Slim: Personal leadership exists only as the officers demonstrate it by superior courage, wider knowledge, quicker initiative, and a greater readiness to accept responsibility than those they lead. Most of you are aware that the Canadian Army is in a period of financial hardship. This hardship has and will lead to some tough decisions but it must always be kept in mind that the hardship we face today is with a view to securing a stronger future for the Army. To the serving and former leaders of the Regiment I encourage you to lead by example, remember why you joined and never put yourself before the troops. It is your leadership in times of hardship that will define you and it is this same leadership that has carried the Regiment through the wars, con- flicts and the times of uncertainty that we as a Regimental family have faced during the last 143 years.

  • 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.

  • What Is the Reserve Force? the Reserve Force Is a Large Branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)
    2 Joining the Reserves What is the Reserve Force? The Reserve Force is a large branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). It is made up of people from the community who work in the CAF part time or full time. Members of the Reserve Force are called Reservists. Most Reservists also have other jobs. Alternatively, the Regular Force consists of members that work full time. These Did you know? members are also available at a moment’s notice to respond to any natural disasters or The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) was threat to national security. previously referred to as the Canadian Forces (CF). The name was changed in 2013 to give a truer sense of the purpose of our troops. Who joins the Reserve Force? People join the Reserves for many different reasons. Some want adventure, a chance to serve others, a challenge, or a second income. However, something all Reservists have in common is a wish to serve their country. A career in the Canadian Armed Forces is a call to duty. The soldiers, sailors, airmen, and airwomen who answer this call want to help others, and they are determined to defend and protect what they believe in. Military families “Strength Behind the Uniform.” 3 About this handbook Why do we have an Orientation Handbook? The Reserve Force is a large branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). In the Canadian Armed Forces, we say that military families are the Strength Behind the Uniform. Families support Reservists during relatively small commitments like weekend training and summer courses. Families also support Reservists during major events, for example, when the Reservists are sent to other parts of Canada or the world.

  • CANADIAN MILITARY LAW SENTENCING UNDER the NATIONAL DEFENCE ACT." PERSPECTIVES and MUSINGS of a FORMER SOLDIER Colonel (Ret.) Me Michel W
    39 1 CANADIAN MILITARY LAW SENTENCING UNDER THE NATIONAL DEFENCE ACT." PERSPECTIVES AND MUSINGS OF A FORMER SOLDIER Colonel (Ret.) Me Michel W. Drapeau' Ottawa The Canadian Charter ofRights and Freedoms recognizes the existence of the militaryjustice system and its own tribunals operating in parallel to the Canadian criminal law system. Yet, there continues to be an absolutepaucity of any reference works on military law and members of the Canadian military bar are seldom heard or read. This article aims atfilling the void, at least in part. In writing this article, the author, who servedfor 34 years in general staff and command positions in the Canadian Forces, had two general purposes in mind: a) to present the general reader with a general overview ofthe history, customs, organization, and structure ofthe military personnel system, and b) to provide a reference work presenting a detailed view ofthe Code ofMilitary Discipline, both in its contents and its workings. Finally, in light ofthe extensive changes in 1999 to the National Defence Act and the accompanying regulations, the author concludes by reviewing the nature and impact of each of the punishments that may be imposed by a military tribunal or the Court Martial Appeal Court ofCanada to those who are subject to the Code ofService Discipline. La Charte canadienne des droits et libertés reconnaît la eo-existence d'un système de justice militaire avec ses propres tribunaux en parallèle avec le droit pénal canadien. Cependant, même si de nombreux livres ont décrit et interprété l'histoire militaire canadienne, il existe présentement aucun ouvrage sur le droit militaire et les praticiens de ce droit se font que très rarement entendre.

These offices received assistance from the provincial governments at a total annual cost of $0.23 per person. Thus the total annual cost of the Lieutenant Governors’ service to The Queen is $0.29 per person, compared to $0.25 per person in the 2005 survey. • This fourth edition of The Cost of Canada’s Constitutional Monarchy calculates that the total cost of the Canadian Crown in 2006-2007 was $50,146,896 or $1.53 per Canadian.
