Military Lecture: The Canadian Army in the Fall of 1944 - Reappraised by Geoff Hayes
Geoff Hayes challenges an orthodox view which holds that First Canadian Army, Cinderella on the Left, was too slow through the fall of 1944. The conscription crisis during this time clouded achievements of the Canadians, but Hayes contends that reports reveal Canadian morale remained remarkably high through this period, something the Canadian government leveraged to its advantage
The Canadian Army in the Fall of 1944 - Reappraised is presented by Geoff Hayes. Guelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada.
Recorded at the Guelph Civic Museum on November 21, 2024.

Military Lecture: "It was hell, that's all": Artillery and the Senses in the Canadian Corps, 1914-18
Просмотров 668 месяцев назад
The First World War on the Western Front was overwhelmingly a war of artillery. Both sides’ firepower dictated what form the war would take, driving men to dig trenches to conceal and protect themselves, but even then, artillery was responsible for over half of Canadian casualties. Given the significance of its role, it is no surprise that the letters, diaries and memoirs of soldiers make frequ...

    Many men from many nations answered the call, many lay in foreign soils far from their home , many beneath marked graves, some are just names on stone and have no grave, those that came home never left the battle fields and the horror of what man could do to another. Like their sons after them that fought in WW2...theses were great generations of people. Australians, French, New Zealanders ,British, Canadians, Indians, Africans, Americans, and all other nations that fought together . We will remember them.

I'm the custodian there and I'm trying to piece together what Dublin St and Suffolk St neighborhood was like before and after 1874 when it was built. I'm curious if you have images and info. of the surrounding area that you can share and how to connect with you.. Thanks Robert

    9th September 1513. 32 of my ancestors were killed at Flodden, 31 of them fighting for James, 1 fighting for the English. Probably a lot more than that but we only know the ones who owned land snd whose death was recorded. It was a devastating battle for Scotland and set our nation back 100 years.

    Thank you for the video and the focus on the war horses. During WW1 my maternal grandfather Albert Henry Beckett served in the Royal Canadian Dragoons from 20 Sept. 1914 at Valcartier Quebec to his discharge on 8 Dec. 1919 in England. He was in the hospital during the Battle of Vimy Ridge but saw action in most of the other major battles including at Moreuil Wood on 30 March 1918 where Albert in Company C charged the gap between the southern edge of the wood and the village of Moreuil to block any attacks on the village. He was never able to tell me anything about his war experiences but I have been able to piece his story together through archival records.
