Uniformly dark brown in colour, matte in finish, with a plain crimson ribbon, it pales in comparison to more colourful honours or awards in the British or Canadian Honours Systems. Yet, to reach such a conclusion would be unfortunate. Part of the esteem—even reverence—with which the Victoria Cross is held is due to its simplicity and the idea that a supreme, often fatal, act of gallantry does not require a complicated or flamboyant insignia. A simple, strong and understated design pays greater tribute. More than 1 300 Victoria Crosses have been awarded to the sailors, soldiers and airmen of British Imperial and, later, Commonwealth nations, contributing significantly to the military heritage of these countries. In truth, the impact of the award has an even greater reach given that some of the recipients were sons of other nations who enlisted with a country in the British Empire or Commonwealth and performed an act of conspicuous Pro Valore: Canada’s Victoria Cross 5 bravery.

  • Bcs 1944 "Zombie" Protests Against Overseas Conscription
    BCS 1944 "ZOMBIE" PROTESTS AGAINST OVERSEAS CONSCRIPTION PETERA. RUSSELL he climax of Canada's Second World War conscription crisis came in November 1944, when Prime Minister W.L.M. King Tordered 16,000 home defence conscripts overseas. Canada seemed about to replay the First World War's crisis of French versus English. However, the first large demonstrations against conscription came, not in Quebec, but in British Columbia; not from French Canadians, but from English-speaking home defence troops stationed at Vernon. Press reports of the large scale of that demonstration sparked half a dozen further home defence soldiers' demonstrations across British Columbia. One of these, at Terrace, became an outright mutiny. Within hours of the Vernon demonstration, British Columbia's Pacific Command sought to contradict the press claim that "nearly 1,000 men" had marched through the city's streets shouting anti-conscription slogans. As well as issuing its own version to the press, military command held an immediate inquiry into the Vernon march and the press story that it sought to refute. By contrast, in Terrace, the high command uncritically passed on to its superiors the most exaggerated rumours of an armed mutiny. The explanation for the difference between the senior officers' actions probably lay in their perceptions of the troops' ethnic origins and these troops' earlier behaviour while stationed at Vernon in the spring of 1944. The home defence soldiers at Terrace were assumed to be French Canadians or Central Europeans. Resistance there confirmed the officers' prejudices concerning who was and who was not loyal. At Vernon the troops were seen as "English" and, therefore, loyal - only awaiting a political decision to send them overseas.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Over the past two decades, expressions of Canadian national identity in cultural production have become increasingly militarized. This is particularly noticeable since the late 1990s in the commemorative works that have been created, renovated, or re-inscribed in Canada or in important Canadian international sites such as the Vimy Memorial in France. An integral component to this militarization is the paradoxical figure of the Unknown Soldier, both a man and a symbol, known and unknown, individualized and universal. Despite its origins in Europe after the First World War, the Unknown Soldier Memorial tradition has been reinvigorated in a Canadian context in the twenty-first century resulting in an elevation of white masculine heroism while curtailing criticism of military praxis.

It explains how the Korean War acted as both a catalyst for a more accommodating stance towards the French language in the Canadian Armed Forces, and an immediate impediment to the implementation of such changes.
