Burma Revisited - Article From Canadian Military History
Burma Revisited by Atholl Sutherland Brown © canadian military history,Volume 6, Number 2, Autumn 1997, pp.117122. Nostalgia

Extractions: Nostalgia is in most ways an inappropriate word for the emotions that drew me back to Burma in February 1997. I had spent 1944 at airfields on the Bengal-Burma frontier as a pilot in the RCAF with 177 Squadron RAF. We flew Bristol Beaufighter twin-engined ground attack fighters with 901 Wing of the Third Tactical Air Force engaged in interdicting the railways, roads and rivers of Burma as well as attacking the Japanese-held airfields. We ranged at low level all over Burma (Myanmar) and northern Siam (Thailand) and, for our small numbers, had a devastating impact on the supply and reinforcement of the Japanese armies. Histories of the Second World War generally ignore the importance of the Burma campaign in which, nevertheless, the largest land battles against the Japanese took place, saving India from the trials of Burma, and liberating Burma itself so that it soon gained independence after hostilities ended. As D-Day veterans return to Normandy I returned to Burma with the added interest of the availability of its vast archaeological treasures, the charming otherworldliness of the people, the pleasing climate of its cool season and for a view of a country in transition. It is difficult to find advice in Canada for travel to Burma. Our Department of Foreign Affairs seems to following the American State Department in recommending no trade or tourist travel to Burma because of human rights abuses and authoritarian government. This in spite of both nation's enthusiasm about travel to China or Indonesia where human rights abuses are of a different order in numbers and kind. Happily, I came across a brochure in Britain for

Contact us MQUP prank It's not too surprising if a first ye Present for Defence Minister John McCallum Well, eyebrows raised and scholars scoffed. Then our overworked minister further slipped on his tongue in a letter to the National Post referring to Canada's moment of First World War glory at Vimy Ridge as Vichy, the Nazi-occupied town in Central France. Care for a side of vimyssoise with your plate of crow, John? Some people reacted generously to McCallum's gaffes. McGill-Queen's University Press extended an educating hand by sending him a bushel of books on Canada's military endeavours. This fit of sympathetic largesse was thought up by MQUP publicist Dan Werb after the initial Dieppe admission. "I couldn't believe our Defence Minister knew nothing of Canadian military history," says Werb, adding, "It makes sense - he's been a banker for years. "This gift of books is then both a tool for the minister as well as a symbolic gesture to remind Canadians of the importance of understanding and exploring Canada's history and culture," says Werb, adding that, "to know your past is to be able to move towards the future."

Extractions: Introduction General Section War of 1812 Northwest Campaign ... About This Site Canada's federal and regional nature has prompted a number of useful examinations of the war. For Nova Scotia, the explosion of the munitions ship Mont Blanc in Halifax harbour, killing over 1 600 outright and maiming and blinding thousands more, was perhaps the defining event of the war. Newfoundland was not yet a part of Canada and the Royal Newfoundland Regiment's experience, first at Gallipoli and then being virtually wiped out at Beaumont-Hamel on the Somme, provided a unique facet of the war. Joy Cave's book examines the impact of such catastrophic losses on the tiny Newfoundland outports. Armstrong, John G.

Canada and Submarine Warfare, 1909-1950 An essay exploring the influence of submarine warfare on the development of the Canadian forces prior to 1939, the impact of earlier experience on Canadian participation in the Second World War, and in turn how the course of that conflict shaped Canada's maritime forces in the post-war era The Salvation Army War and training for war are draining physical, psychological, and emotional experiences. For those Canadians serving overseas or in Canada, the Salvation Army tried to establish a degree of civility - a 'touch of home', perhaps - amidst the loneliness and dehumanizing conditions of war. To a remarkable degree, the Salvation Army formed an integral part of Canadians' military experiences during two world wars. NATO: A Pledge for Peace
