  • Fort Fraser Despatches, December 2013
    Fort Fraser Despatches, December 2013 "The Reserves" A word of advice for those who do not understand the value of the Citizen Soldier: Be careful what you say about those who volunteer to serve or those who have served in the Reserve components of the Canadian Armed Forces. Such dismissive comments as, “Oh, his/her service was only Reserve” or “He/She was in the Forces but only in the Reserve” not only show a lack of knowledge but do a great disservice to the Canadian forces as a whole which rely on augmentation (reinforcement) by the Reserves in order to function in critical times. The Canadian Army is defined as a Total Force comprising Regular and Reserve soldiers, which in wartime are combined by mobilization - the military term for rapid increase in trained personnel for equally rapid deployment in immediate operational tasks as determined by the Government of Canada. Without the full resources of a mobilized Primary Reserve, the Canadian Army would not exist. Of 40,000 Canadians who have served in Afghanistan, 12,000 have been Reservists (30% of the total). Of these 1,080 (9%) were women. Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) says that of 4,181 veterans on disability from service in Afghanistan, 334 (8%) are women. Trained soldiers who become casualties of war are defined by their distinguished service, valour and sacrifice; they are not separated by labels such as “Only a Reservist”. One of the first four of 158 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan, Corporal Ainsworth Dyer, received his initial training as a Reservist in the 48th Highlanders of Canada before transferring to Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry for deployed operational service overseas.

  • Soldiers of the King: Vancouver's Interwar Militia As a Social Institution
    SOLDIERS OF THE KING: VANCOUVER'S INTERWAR MILITIA AS A SOCIAL INSTITUTION by IAN DAVID CAMPBELL YUILL B.A., University of British Columbia, 1996 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Dept. of HISTORY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 1998 © Ian David Campbell Yuill, 1998 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of rmfgft The University of Britisish CColumbic a Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) Abstract The interwar militia in Vancouver is a poorly understood institution, partly because scholars have come to associate the militia with militarism. However, the militia has important non-military functions and the interwar militia regiments were more than social clubs. This thesis compared the activities of two of Vancouver's militia regiments by examining their archival holdings to see if they had documentary evidence to support the notion that they functioned as a proto-fraternal society during the interwar period. The militia regiments functioned as fraternal associations providing mutual aid as well as congeniality.

Surviving Examples of Artillery on Vancouver Island - Victoria Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site of Canada For Bay Street Armoury the Appendices to Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt this study, Maritime Museum of British Columbia Click Here. Memorial Park, Esquimalt Vancouver Island outside Greater Victoria Some significant examples of artillery preserved elsewhere in B.C. An Introduction to the History of Artillery in B.C. In 1778 Captain Cook became the first European known to have set foot in what would become British Columbia. Cook’s ships were former merchantmen that had been acquired by the Royal Navy specifically for his voyages of exploration, but as part of their refit for these voyages, they were armed with twelve 6-pounder smooth bore (SB) cannon and twelve swivel guns for protection. When Cook’s crew told stories of the profits they made selling sea otter skins from Nootka in China, they were soon followed by fur traders whose ships were also armed with cannon. The first fortification constructed by European’s in British Columbia was built at Nootka by the Spanish in 1789 in a belated attempt to assert their authority over the northwest coast of North America. Fort St. Miguel is reported to have mounted 16 guns. Spain’s actions led to a quick response from Britain, and by the terms of the Nootka Convention the Spanish withdrew from Nootka in 1795.
