War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence -

(Title of the Thesis)*
THE CANADIAN SOLDIER: COMBAT MOTIVATION IN THE CANADIAN ARMY, 1943-1945 by Robert Charles Engen A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (June, 2014) Copyright ©Robert Charles Engen, 2014 Abstract This thesis is a study of the combat motivation and morale of infantrymen in the Canadian Army during the Second World War. Using battle experience questionnaires, censorship reports, statistical analyses, operational research, and other contemporary sources, this study offers a “big- picture” look at the human dimensions of warfare as experienced by Canadian infantrymen during the Italian and Northwest Europe campaigns of 1943 to 1945. The myths and realities of who the Canadian soldiers were provides the background, as does an exploration of their training and organization. Each core chapter explores one segment of the Canadian campaigns in Europe: the Sicilian and Italian campaign of 1943, the Italian campaign of 1944-45, the Normandy campaign of the summer of 1944, and the Northwest Europe campaign of 1944-45. Each of these chapters analyzes the force structure, behaviour in battle, morale, cohesion, and motivation of Canadian infantrymen during that particular segment of the campaign, setting them in comparison with one another to demonstrate continuities and change based upon shifting conditions, ground, and circumstances. In doing so, this thesis offers an original interpretation of Canadian combat motivation in the Second World War. Due to high infantry casualty rates, influxes of new reinforcements, and organizational turmoil, Canadian soldiers in many campaigns frequently fought as “strangers-in-arms” alongside unfamiliar faces. -

FIGHTING IT OUT: CANADIAN TROOPS at HONG KONG and in MEMORY Bradley St Croix Thesis Submitted to the University of Ottawa In
FIGHTING IT OUT: CANADIAN TROOPS AT HONG KONG AND IN MEMORY Bradley St Croix Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy Degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Bradley St Croix, Ottawa, Canada, 2021 ABSTRACT Fighting It Out: The Canadian Troops at Hong Kong and in Memory Author: Brad St.Croix Supervisor: Galen Roger Perras 2020 This dissertation examines how the Battle of Hong Kong’s negative legacy has developed in Canada. By using the concept of “zombie myths,” which was first introduced in Zombie Myths of Australian Military History, this study will examine how many individuals, including historians, journalists, and authors, contributed to these myths’ creation and propagation for starting from the Second World War and continuing today. The study draws its conclusions from official texts and histories, personal recollections, newspaper articles, popular historical works, and academic monographs and articles, all relating to the battle. This thesis is separated into two halves. The first part of the study focuses on the history of the battle by exploring several myths that surround it. One of the most contentious myths concerns why the Canadian troops were sent to the colony in the first place. The relationship between the British and Canadian armies from 1914 to 1941 plus the defence planning of Hong Kong from 1841 to 1941, are two crucial elements that will be analyzed in order to vital context about the Canadian reinforcement. The selection of the units of “C” Force and their training are subject to many myths that seek to present the Canadian units as untrained. -
Lesson 1: Introduction to Canada in the Second World War Overview
Lesson 1: Introduction to Canada in the Second World War Overview: This lesson will serve as an entry to the subject. Including a sound recording of a knowledge check, the lesson will allow the teacher to assess the student’s prior knowledge of Canadian involvement in the Second World War as well as exposing the students to the primary source driven component of the unit plan. This lesson will help students recall any information they know on the topic and provide a brief introduction (or reintroduction) to the subject matter. The lesson will also introduce the six historical thinking concepts (it they have not yet been explored by the class) Learning Goal: The learning goals for this lesson are to have students practice recalling their previous knowledge of a topic and then record it. The lesson should trigger an understanding of strengths and weaknesses within the students regarding the subject material. It should also prepare students for further work with the six historical thinking concepts. Curriculum Expectations: As this is the introductory lesson students will not be particularly focused on a single expectation. However, the students will be relaying knowledge which applies to section C2 which focuses on “Communities, Conflict and Cooperation” during the period from 1929 to 1945. No individual historical thinking concept will be targeted for this lesson, but all six will be applied as a brief introduction. Materials: - Radio broadcast announcing Canada’s entry into WW2. (Appx. 1.1) - Copies of the “Second World War and Canada” knowledge check. (Appx. 1.2) -Image of “Attack on All Fronts” poster.
