    Memorial Day 2015

    Memorial Day 2015 Good morning and thank you for coming. It is an honor to see so many people here on a day like this. I would like to thank the students—the students who recited the Gettysburg address and Logan’s General orders so that we will never forget the sacrifice of the men and women who fought 151 years ago this year to keep us free in the civil war, and students who entertained us …. Today, I would like to thank all the veterans who have served us in all wars, and ask all those who have served, in war and in peace, to please raise their hands and be recognized. I want to pause today to recall one specific group of veterans, and one particular day in history, that day, 70 years ago on June 6 and a small beachhead in France at a place that few people at that time had ever heard of – a place called Normandy. This June marks the 70th anniversary of the greatest amphibious landing ever attempted, before or since, the landing at Normandy. Let me take you back to those days in World War 2. America had been in the war for only two and a half years—less than that really since it takes time to train men, deploy them and put them in to battle. It is hard to imagine today, but the war had not gone well at first for the Allies. Allied forces had been driven from Belgium, from Czechoslovakia, France had been overrun, Paris was run by Nazi soldiers, Italy was run by Mussolini-- a Nazi ally, 340,000 British soldiers had been forced to retreat from Europe back to Britain at Dunkirk.

    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.

    Of the 2Nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, Canadian Expeditionary Force, Is Interred in Mazingarbe Communal Cemetery Extension: Grave Reference, III

    Private Joseph Robert Barrett (Number 261054) of the 2nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, Canadian Expeditionary Force, is interred in Mazingarbe Communal Cemetery Extension: Grave reference, III. A. 15. His occupation prior to service recorded as that of a telegraph operator working at International Falls, Massachusetts, John Robert Barrett had sailed from Newfoundland to Vanceboro, Maine, likely on board the vessel SS Glencoe – Bruce and Sylvia(?) are other ships also noted – in March of 1903 to live with a sister at 604, Western Avenue, Lynn, Massachusetts, while taking up employment there. 1 (Previous page: The image of the 2nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, shoulder-flash is from the Wikipedia Web-Site.) The date on which he re-crossed the United States-Canadian border in order to enlist does not appear in his personal files; however, Joseph Robert Barrett did so at Fort Frances, Ontario – just across the Rainy River from where he was working, so it may be that he crossed on the day that he enlisted – on March 21 of 1916, signing on for the duration of the war at the daily rate of $1.10. He also passed a medical examination and was attested on that same day. Private Barrett is documented as having been attached upon his enlistment into the 212th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and officially recorded as a soldier of that unit by its Commanding Officer on March 27. Not quite three weeks afterwards, on May 15 or 16, he was transferred into the 97th Battalion (American Legion), also of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
