Canada Post Employees in World War I CANADA POST HERITAGE CLUB HONOURING OUR OWN CANADA POST EMPLOYEES IN WORLD WAR I Information researched and compiled by Van-Fraser Heritage Club Members Jim Bain Heather Ferguson Joan Garlick INTRODUCTION In the Summer of 2009 workmen conducting renovations in the Retail Lobby of the Vancouver Mail Processing Plant in Downtown Vancouver located a Memorial Plaque honouring Vancouver Post Office employees who were lost in World Wars I and II. The plaque was originally cast following WW I to honour eleven individuals then recast following WW II to honour three more. It was moved from its original location at the Vancouver Post Office, located at the time in what is now the Sinclair Centre on the North West corner of Granville and Hastings Streets, to the Main Lobby of the new building in 1958. Subsequent renovations to the Retail Lobby removed the Plaque from public view. In November 2010 the Van-Fraser Heritage Club hosted a ceremony, attended by representatives of the Canadian Armed Forces, to rededi- cate the Plaque and place it back in a prominent position in the newly renovated Retail Lobby. As part of the Rededication Ceremony the Van-Fraser Heritage Club researched each of the names on the Plaque and prepared a history for each. This research led to the discovery of seven other Canada Post employees in British Columbia who were lost in World War I and 165 employees who served and safely returned. As the 100th Anniversary of the start of World War I is approaching Van-Fraser undertook research to locate as many Canada Post employees as possible who served in World War I. Our research included review of the data bases maintained by the Department of Veterans Affairs, web sites displaying City Directories of the time, as well as records maintained by local Archives. Also included in this compilation are some Postmasters from Revenue Offices and Rural Route service providers even though they were not employees. This research has resulted in the location of 1312 Canada Post employees who served in World War I and 132 who were lost. Unfortunately this list cannot be considered as complete. Some records of the day are missing vital information and some as simply missing. Some individuals did not list their “profession or calling” as Post Office employees but rather as “Public Service”, “Civil Service”, or “Public Employee”. “. Where available, City Directory Information was cross- referenced with Veterans Affairs Records and some of the discrepancies were resolved. Some listed the profession prior to joining Canada Post. Some individuals from the United Kingdom returned and enlisted in the British Forces. The National Archives in the United Kingdom notes sixty percent of World War I records were “burnt” during bombing raids in 1940. Van-Fraser was able to make contact with some of the families of employees who served in World War I and has obtained copies of photographs and documents. Included in these contacts are the families of Matthew Henry Harlock and Thomas Charles Morris-White, both listed on the Memorial Plaque. Van-Fraser will continue its efforts to find more Canada Post Employees who served in World War I and contact families in British Columbia and endeavor to add to our collection of photographs and documents. We encourage other Canada Post Heritage Clubs to join us in this endeavour and remember all of those from Canada Post who served their country.

  • Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War
    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. : A Historiography of C Force FEATURE A Historiography of C Force TONY BANHAM Abstract: Following the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in 1941, a small number of books covering the then Colony’s war experiences were published. Although swamped by larger and more significant battles, the volume of work has expanded in the years since and is no longer insignificant. This historiography documents that body of literature, examining trends and possible future directions for further study with particular respect to the coverage of C Force. h e f a t e o f the 1,975 men and two women of C Force, sent T to Hong Kong just before the Japanese invaded, has generated a surprising volume of literature. It was fate too that a Canadian, Major General Arthur Edward Grasett, was the outgoing commander of British troops in China— including the Hong Kong garrison— in mid-1941 (being replaced that August by Major General Christopher M altby of the Indian army), and fate that his determination that the garrison be reinforced would see a Briton, Brigadier John Kelburne Lawson, arrive from Canada in November 1941 as commander of this small force sent to bolster the colony’s defences.

Willbanks, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Maria Carlson, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Jacob W. Kipp, Committee Member Date approved: April 27, 2009 ii PREFACE Generals have often been reproached with preparing for the last war instead of for the next–an easy gibe when their fellow-countrymen and their political leaders, too frequently, have prepared for no war at all. Preparation for war is an expensive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little–study. However changed and strange the new conditions of war may be, not only generals, but politicians and ordinary citizens, may find there is much to be learned from the past that can be applied to the future and, in their search for it, that some campaigns have more than others foreshadowed the coming pattern of modern war.1 — Field Marshall Viscount William Slim.

  • Elchuk, Alex Private the Calgary Highlanders, R.C.I.C. M – 39751
    Elchuk, Alex Private The Calgary Highlanders, R.C.I.C. M – 39751 Alex Elchuk was born 16 July,1916 in Desjarlais, Alberta, Canada, the son of Theodore and Dora Elchuk, both born in Austria. He had three older brothers, William, George and John, a younger brother Metro and two older sisters, Jennie and Mary with a younger sister, Annie. He also had an older step brother, Mike. His mother died in the autumn of 1935 when Alex was seventeen years old. He was Roman Catholic but did not go to church until he went into the army. After 8 years at school, he left at the age of fourteen in order to work on the family farm. He himself owned 160 hectares of land in Wandering River, Alberta and planned to settle there after the war. In his free time he liked to play basketball, read and write, smoke a cigarette, with a drink sometimes. In 1940 Canada introduced the National Resources Mobilization Act; available men were asked to register for military service, where in the first instance, recruits would be used to defend the homeland. Later, these men were sent to serve overseas. One of them was Alex Elchuk. On 17 April, 1941, Alex, then twenty two years old, reported for service in Calgary, Alberta and was given the army number: M600521. At that time he had been living in Desjarlais and working on his father’ s farm as a single man. He was described in the records as 1.76m tall, weighing 73 kilos, with blue eyes, dark hair and a light skin colour; he had a scar on his upper lip.
