  • 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.

  • The Recollections of James Graham Adam (Who Married Beatrice Eleanor Man)
    1 The Recollections of James Graham Adam (who married Beatrice Eleanor Man) I was born at No. ? Woodside Terrace, Glasgow, on 22nd February 1862 and christened at St. Jude's Episcopal Church by the Rev. Flint. My father was John Lindsay Adam, an East Indian merchant, head of the firm of Adam & Co., Glasgow, Batavia & Surabaya. He was the youngest of a family of I believe 13, and his father was also a merchant in Glasgow. He and his wife are buried in the Churchyard of St. Mungo's Cathedral in Glasgow. Of my father's family, the only ones I knew or have any recollection of were the eldest, James Graham Adam, after whom I was named, but don't remember ever seeing. He married a Miss Macindoe, whom we used to call Aunt James, to distinguish her from my father's sister, Aunt Jane. There were eleven children of this marriage: 1. Frank Forbes, who became Sir Frank Forbes Adam1 Bart. My father gave him his first start in life by taking him into his firm. 2. Charles, who became manager of the firm of Graham & Co. Oporto. 3. Arthur, who went out to Australia and was never heard of again. 4. Archie, who after a long career as a merchant in Glasgow died leaving a large fortune. 5. Jane, who married John Graham, head of the firm of Graham & Co. Glasgow & Calcutta, and later became a baronet2. 6. Mary, who married Robert Orr (a large and wealthy cotton and thread manufacturer) 7. Fanny, who married John Orr manufacturers.

  • A FAMILY LEGACY Sir Julian Paget
    A FAMILY LEGACY Sir Julian Paget Sir James Paget was a British surgeon and pathologist. He published excellent papers describing Osteitis Deformans which of course, we now refer to as Paget’s disease. Sir James Paget’s great grandson, the late Sir Julian Paget was a Patron of the Paget’s Association and in this article he describes the legacy Sir James Paget has left to the Paget family. One of the trickier decisions that we have to make in life is probably the choice of a career to follow. Sometimes it will be virtually resolved for us, if there is, for example, a family business or estate to be taken over. There may alternatively be a family tradition to be carried on, such as a line of distinguished ancestors in the Services, the State or the church; in such cases, the incentive to follow in their footsteps is there, and the choice is easier. Another, rather rarer possibility is that it is all in one’s genes, so that one knows from the start that one wants to follow one particular career. None of these possibilities would seem to have applied to James Paget (except possibly the last). He was born in 1814, the eighth of seventeen children. His father, Samuel Paget, was a prosperous merchant in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. An older brother, George, went into medicine, and James may well have decided to follow him, but his father sadly ran into financial trouble, and instead of sending James to Charterhouse, like George, he apprenticed him in 1830, at the age of 16, to the local GP in Great Yarmouth.

The Military History Symposium is an annual event sponsored jointly by the Department of History and the Association of Graduates, United States Air Force Academy. The theme of the first symposium, held on 4-5May 1967 at the Air Force Academy, was “Current Concepts in Military History.” Several factors inspired the inauguration of the symposium series, the foremost being the expanding interest in the field of military history demonstrated at recent meetings of the American Historical Association and similar professional organizations. A professional meeting devoted solely to the subject of military his- tory seemed appropriate. The Air Force Academy’s Department of History has been particularly concerned with the history of military affairs and warfare since the founding of the institution.
