    Private Herbert Smith Peters, Number 540083 of the 10th Battalion (Canadians) of Canadian Infantry, Canadian Expeditionary Force, is buried in Haynecourt British Cemetery: Grave reference III.A.24. (Right: The image of the cap-badge of the 10th Battalion (Canadians), Canadian Expeditionary Force, is from the bing.com/images web-site) (continued) 1 His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of an accountant, Herbert Smith Peters had spent his younger years in the capital city of Newfoundland, St. John’s, his birth-place. There he had already acquired some of his schooling at the Methodist College when his father had been transferred by his employer, the Bank of Montreal, to the community of Curling, on the west coast of the island. From there his parents had subsequently moved to Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island and the still-young Herbert had accompanied them. In 1913 his father received a further promotion and was transferred to the Albertan city of Calgary. There the family took up residence at 1031 Prospect Avenue, the address that Herbert Smith Peters was later to cite on his attestation papers. Perhaps following the example of his older brother Edward who, by the end of 1914, had also found his way to Calgary – although by a more convoluted route than had Herbert and his parents – Herbert Smith Peters presented himself for medical examination and enlistment on August 18, 1915, and on the morrow for attestation. That attestation of August 19 brought to a conclusion the formalities of Private Peters’ enlistment when the commanding officer of the Cyclist Depot, Lieutenant Colonel(?) G.B.

  • 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.

You can label our dreams as 'impossible good dreams' or 'madness'. But, some logic and history inspire our mad dreams. www.smri.in Who told only Celebrities, Crorepatis & Corporate houses can START a football club? Common People founded Uncommon Clubs! In 1895 a group of Oxbridge graduates founded the club Football Goal. In 1900 this club split into two different clubs New Foot-Ball de Madrid and Club Español de Madrid. In 1902 the latter club split again, resulting in the formation of Real Madrid FC on March 6, 1902. On 22 October 1899, Hans Gamper placed an advertisement in Los Deportes declaring his wish to form a football club; a positive response resulted in a meeting at the Gimnasio Solé on 29 November. Eleven players attended and Football Club Barcelona was born. When the Munich gymnastics club decided that the footballers of the club would not be allowed to join the German Football Association (DFB), eleven members of the football division left the congregation and on the same evening founded Fußball-Club Bayern München. Spanish club Athletic Bilbao is founded by British steel and shipyard workers and Basque students. Athletic Club de Madrid was founded on 26 April 1903 by three Basque students living in Madrid. These founders saw the new club as a youth branch of their childhood team, Athletic Bilbao.

  • WHEAT STUDIES of the FOOD RESEARCH INSTITUTE
    WHEAT STUDIES of the FOOD RESEARCH INSTITUTE VOL. XVII, NO. 7 (Price $1.00) APRIL 1941 WHEAT IN THE POST -SURPLUS PERIOD 1900-09 WITH RECENT ANALOGIES AND CONTRASTS Helen C Farnsworth The wheat-surplus period of the 1890's was followed by a decade characterized by extremely heavy wheat output. In per capita terms, this output was larger than that respon­ sible for the burdensome surplus stocks of the mid-'nineties or that later associated with the depressing surplus of 1928- 35. But the early years of this century witnessed no piling up of surplus stocks comparable with the accumulations of 1892-96 and 1929-35. Historical and statistical analysis sug­ gests that this extraordinary outcome was largely due to three factors: (1) the sharper upward trend and higher level of per capita normal wheat disappearance in the early 1900's; (2) the more favorable timing of crop surpluses and deficits in those years; and (3) the fact that wheat disappearance was then farther above normal than in 1928-35. In the absence of burdensome wheat stocks, the purchas­ ing power of British import wheat, trend considered, was moderate rather than low during 1898-1909. Except in 1898- 99 and 1901-02, deflated prices of such wheat reflected rea­ sonably well the wheat commodity position of each of the crop years considered. From about 1902 to the beginning of the World War, the trend of purchasing power of British import wheat was horizontal, in sharp contrast with down­ ward trends during the 15 to 20 years prior to 1902 and from 1922 to 1939.
