Booze, Temperance, And Soldiers On The Home Front: The Unraveling Of The Image Of The Idealised Soldier In Canada, Fay Wilson Jul 2016

Booze, Temperance, And Soldiers On The Home Front: The Unraveling Of The Image Of The Idealised Soldier In Canada, Fay Wilson

Canadian Military History

In 1916, Canadians were swept up in the rhetoric of a purifying Holy War. The citizen soldier became the embodiment of Christ in the ultimate fight against evil. As the mirror for the nation, he reflected the moral character and aspirations of purity. The behaviour of soldiers stationed in Calgary were publically scrutinised, especially as to their use of alcohol. The evils of alcohol galvanised various groups to move towards Prohibition as the ultimate war measure. This directly affected military recruitment efforts and served to alienate the soldier and the reality of his experiences from the home front.


An Analysis Of Factors Affecting The Royal Air Force Contribution To The Raid On Dieppe, 1942, David Stubbs Mar 2016

An Analysis Of Factors Affecting The Royal Air Force Contribution To The Raid On Dieppe, 1942, David Stubbs

Canadian Military History

This paper seeks to explain the limited options available to Air Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory when planning the Royal Air Force (RAF) portion of the combined operation raid on Dieppe in 1942. It proposes that a number of constraining influences, some self-imposed, reduced the air support options, so that only an air umbrella over the attacking forces could be provided. It argues that these influences were a consequence of the RAF’s cultural and conceptual environment, which perpetuated Trenchardian notions of offensive spirit in RAF doctrine, together with the refusal to consider options to extend the range of its fighter aircraft. …

The Naval War Board Of 1898, Kenneth C. Wenzer Mar 2016

The Naval War Board Of 1898, Kenneth C. Wenzer

Canadian Military History

The early months of 1898 witnessed the explosion of Maine and additional inducements for war. The Naval War Board, which first made its appearance in late March was summoned to arrange strategy for the impending hostilities. After some personnel shuffling it was finally composed of Montgomery Sicard, Arent. S. Crowninshield, and Alfred T. Mahan.

The Appendix to the Bureau of Navigation of 1898 insists that the Naval War Board “throughout the war acted as an advisory board” and so do all scholars of the period. David Trask, for instance, in his benchmark work The War with Spain, also asserts that …
