  • The 27Th Canadian Armoured Regiment and the Battle of Authie a Case Study Into Manning , Training, and Equipment Failures
    Sean Summerfield 117 TH THE 27 CANADIAN ARMOURED REGIMENT AND THE BATTLE OF AUTHIE: A CASE STUDY INTO MANNING, TRAINING, AND EQUIPMENT FAILURES Sean Summerfield Bishop’s University Abstract The paper challenges contemporary historiography regarding the Canadian Army in Normandy, particularly John English’s, The Canadian Army and the Normandy Campaign: A Study of Failure in High Command, and Terry Copp’s Fields of Fire: The Canadians in Normandy. The 27th Canadian Armoured Regiment is used as a case study to analyze Copp’s and English’s positions finding both to be inconsistent with the Regiments experiences. The 27th Canadian Armoured Regiment received inadequate training and experienced manning decisions which severely affected unit cohesion. The training received prior to entering battle, and the endless transferring of soldiers out of the Regiment, ensured that the unit was not properly prepared for combat operations. Résumé Cet article conteste l’argumentaire de l’historiographie contemporaine sur l’armée canadienne en Normandie, plus particulièrement les monographies de John English, The Canadian Army and the Normandy Campaign: A Study of Failure in High Command, et de Terry Copp, Fields of Fire: The Canadians in Normandy. Une étude de cas du 27e Régiment blindé du Canada permet d’analyser les arguments des deux auteurs et de constater des divergences avec les témoignages des expériences vécues au sein du Régiment. En plus de recevoir un entraînement inadéquat, les soldats du 27e Régiment blindé du Canada ont dû composer avec des décisions en matière d’effectifs qui ont sérieusement entravé l’esprit de cohésion de cette unité. L’entraînement inadéquat et les transferts incessants de soldats ont entraîné une préparation inadéquate du Régiment pour le combat.

  • The Sherbrooke Hussars : in Hoc Signo Stabilitas (Steadfast by This Sign
    Daniel Bromby 127 THE SHERBROOKE HUSSARS: IN HOC SIGNO STABILITAS (STEADFAST BY THIS SIGN)1 Daniel Bromby Bishop’s University he Sherbrooke Hussars can trace their origins back to 1803 when T a militia corps was put together under the leadership of Sir John Johnson. This Eastern Townships Militia saw action during the war of 1812 with the United States and, in 1836, a company was raised to subdue the Papineau riots and fought in the rebellion of 1836–1837. The official history of the Regiment begins on September 21, 1866 when the Sherbrooke Battalion of Infantry was formed to meet the threat of invasion caused by the Fenians. Less than one year later on March 22, 1867, the unit was divided in two, creating the 53rd Battalion of Infantry in Sherbrooke (QC) and the 54th Richmond Battalion of Infantry in Melbourne (QC). Later that year, another unit was formed, the 58th Compton Battalion of Infantry, located in Cookshire (QC). The, 53rd, 54th and 58th are considered the Regiment’s original units and its members saw duty in the Fenian raids in 1866 (Stanstead Plain) and in 1870 (Frelighsburg). Several members of these three original units were deployed and served with the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry during the Boer War (18991902). Following this war, Canadian militia recognized the need to augment the number of cavalry units. This is why, in 1903, the 54th Richmond Regiment and the 58th Compton Regiment were converted into cavalry units and became the XIth Hussars and the 7th Hussars respectively. As for the 53rd Battalion of Infantry, in 1900, it would become known as the 53rd Sherbrooke Regiment.

The only official version of these Standing Orders is in electronic PDF format found on www.candianartillery.ca. A formal review of Standing Orders will be conducted every five years. All Gunners must be familiar with the heritage and lineages of The RCA. Collectively, we must strive to uphold this heritage and to enhance the great reputation which The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery has established over the years. To do less is to break faith with those Gunners who have preceded us and to diminish the inheritance of those who will follow. J.J.

  • Heritage Manual
    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.

During the period 1923 to 1962, with the exception of the year’s 1940 - 1946, members of the Canadian Army (Regular), Canadian Army (Militia) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police competed annually for this medal. In 1963, at Canada's request, Her Majesty, The Queen, was pleased to grant one additional Queen's Medal for Champion Shot of the Military Forces. This new medal was reserved for members of the Canadian Army (Regular) and the original medal granted in 1923 was restricted to the Canadian Army (MILITIA) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In June 1968, due to unification, and at Canada's request, Her Majesty, The Queen was pleased to approve Canada's application to now have the two medals for Champion Shot awarded as follows: 1. For the Regular Force (all environments) and; 2. For the Reserve Force (all environments) plus the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In August 1991, The Queen's Medal was "Canadianized". The Obverse of the medal was changed to add the word CANADA at the bottom of the medal with the reverse remaining the same.

It was aimed at documenting the individual or group experiences of Royal Canadian Hussars who participated on a military mission overseas. Each individual’s experience was documented as a separate summary. When documenting these experiences, we tried to take note of the location of deployment, the role the individual played in the location, the description of the unit to which they were assigned, and the unit’s activities. Where possible, we have also described the soldiers’ day-to-day routine, their uniforms and equipment, and any interesting stories or experiences that they were prepared to share. The texts are complemented by pictures or maps generally provided by the soldiers themselves. The purpose of the project was to provide future members of the unit as well as the families and friends of the soldiers involved with an idea of what occurred during these operations, and what it felt like to be a soldier at this time in history.
