The Allied expedition to Salonika was a controversial campaign of the First World War that diverted French and British resources away from the Western Front. To sustain this expedition without depleting existing forces, the Colonial Office approached the High Commissioners of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand and requested that each dominion consider raising a Serbian military contingent for service in Salonika. In the decades preceding the outbreak of war, South Slavs had settled in each of the dominions and the War Office hoped to exploit nationalist aspirations for a pan-Slavic state and mobilise South Slavs in the dominions. In raising these contingents, dominion governments weighed between fulfilling a demand of the Imperial war effort and jeopardising domestic stability by empowering a culturally-distinct minority that was the object of public paranoia. This article will examine how the legal status of South Slavs changed in the three dominions as a result of these recruiting efforts along with the conditions under which South Slavs were able to volunteer for service in Salonika. A comparative approach reveals how Southern Slavs were defined and how they defined themselves as they navigated the categories of enemy aliens, friendly allies, and subjects of the British Empire.

The activities of the Navy Ministry of Canada during the First World War are analyzed in the article. For the first time in Russian historiography, the main directions of Canada’s maritime policy are formulated within the framework of the government’s military course during the First World War. The sources for the study were the debates of the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament, publications in the Canadian press, the military series of historical and statistical collections and journalism of those years. The state of Canadian naval bases and ports, as well as the features of the development of the shipbuilding industry of the dominion during the war years is characterized. It is proved that during the war years, Canada’s maritime policy was determined by the British Admiralty and developed in two directions: imperial and national. The development of the imperial direction of maritime policy was carried out in the interests of Great Britain. It provided for the recruitment of Canadian volunteers for service in the Royal Navy and the development of a shipbuilding industry for the needs of the British Navy. The national direction of maritime policy provided for the protection of Canadian coasts and territorial waters, for which the infrastructure of Canadian naval bases and ports was actively used. To perform patrol and escort functions, state and private vessels were involved not only for military, but also for civilian purposes.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The paper focuses on the portrait of the First World War veterans in selected British and Canadian novels published at the turn of the twenty-first century. The authors use various means to depict the phenomenon of trauma: from flashbacks disrupting the present, through survivor guilt, nightmares and suicide, to aporia and the collapse of representation. The comparative approach used in the article highlights national differences, yet also shows that the discourse of futility and trauma provides a trasnational framework to convey the suffering of the First World War. As a result, although resulting in social castration and disempowerment, trauma serves here as a vehicle for a critique of the disastrous aftermath of the 1914-1918 conflict and the erasures of collective memory. Re-enacting traumatic plots, the British and Canadian novels under consideration explore little known facets of the 1914-1918 conflict, while simultaneously addressing some of our most pressing anxieties about the present, such as social marginalization, otherness, and lonely death.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The First World War inflicted suffering upon hundreds of thousands of Canadian families between 1914 and 1918. In response, the state modernized its pension system to partially alleviate the postwar suffering of these families, reflecting the changing role of government in the lives of Canadians. To receive a pension after the war, Canadian veterans and dependants had to prove their postwar suffering arose directly from the battlefield, yet not all who qualified were accorded the same treatment. Unlike their non-Indigenous counterparts, external administrators were appointed to oversee the expenditure of pensions given to Indigenous veterans and dependants to ensure they were spent responsibly. Disabled Indigenous veterans and dependants recognized this as a profoundly discriminatory system – reducing them to their “Indian” identity – and drew from the nineteenth-century language of imperial nationalism and patriotism to demand equitable compensation and treatment from the state. Understanding the experiences of death and disability as intimately as the racist discrimination they faced, they envisioned their place as equals within the larger community of Canadian war casualties even though settlers and the state refused to recognize them as such.

Abstract Traditionally Canadian and American historians have assumed thai Irish Catholics in urban centres constituted highly resistant subcultures in the face of a dominantProtestant majority. In Canada, scholars have stated that these Irish-Catholic subcultures kept themselves isolated, socially and religiously, from the Anglo- Protestant society around them. Between 1890 and 1918, however, the Irish Catholics of Toronto underwent significant social, ideological, and economic changes that hastened their integration into Toronto society. By World War One, Irish Catholics were dispersed in all of Toronto's neighbourhoods; they permeated the city's occupational structure at all levels; and they intermarried with Protestants at an unprecedented rate. These changes were greatly influenced by Canadian-born generations of Irish-Catholic clergy and laity. This paper argues that these social, ideological, and emotional realignments were confirmed and articulated most clearly in the city's Catholic press. Editors drew up new lines of loyally for Catholics and embraced the notion of an autonomous Canadian nation within the British Empire. What developed was a sense of English-speaking Catholic Canadian identity which included a love of the British Crown, allegiance to the Empire, and a duty to participate in Canadian nation-building. In the process, a sense of Irish identity declined as new generations of Catholics chose to contextualize their Catholicism in a Canadian cultural milieu. The press expressed a variant of the imperial-nationalist theme, which blended devout Catholicism with a theory of imperial “interdependence.” This maturation of a new identity facilitated Catholic participation in the First World War and underscored an English-speaking Catholic effort to evangelize and anglicize “new” Catholic Canadians. By the end of the war, Toronto's Irish Catholics were imbued with zealous Canadian patriotism, complemented, in part, by their greater social integration into the city's mainstream.

In the centenary of the First World War many historical studies concerning the period between 1914 and 1918 and its consequences have appeared in France. Many of these are also interested in the public discourse of this time and its language, especially the lexicon. There is no doubt that it is not only the history of the country and of its citizens that has been marked by the war, but also the French vocabulary. Numerous dictionaries containing war vocabulary have been published in recent years, while others are still being prepared, and all of them prove the existence of an indissoluble bond between the history of a community and its language.The horror of the First and Second World Wars did not cause the world to abandon military conflicts. They continued over the whole 20th century and have not ceased at the beginning of the third millennium. Poland, which since 1945 has not been involved in international military conflicts on its own territory, has nonetheless taken part in the so-called local wars, among them the recent (2002-2014) war in Afghanistan. The majority of Polish society (70-80%) has never accepted the engagement of national forces in this conflict, even though it used to be called “a peaceful mission”.The common experience of over 28.000 Polish soldiers who have served in Afghanistan has found its reflection in reports, books and blogs written by the participants. These texts, though rather rare, contain specific vocabulary that has developed in Task Force White Eagle (names for weapons, mines, military actions, enemies, etc.). In this article, the language of the mission is analyzed and the question is raised about the possible functions of this specific jargon.

Löschnigg, Martin. "How to Tell the War? Trench Warfare and the Realist Paradigm in First World War Narratives". Anglica. An International Journal of English Studies, n. 27/3 (17 settembre 2018): 143–61. http://dx.doi.org/10.7311/0860-5734.27.3.07.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This paper will analyze how memoirs and novels of the First World War reflect the challenges which modern warfare poses to realist narrative. Mechanized warfare resists the narrative encoding of experience. In particular, the nature of warfare on the Western Front 1914–1918, characterized by the fragmentation of vision in the trenches and the exposure of soldiers to a continuous sequence of acoustic shocks, had a disruptive effect on perceptions of time and space, and consequently on the rendering of the chronotope in narrative accounts of the fighting. Under the conditions of the Western Front, the order-creating and meaning-creating function of narrative seemed to have become suspended. As I want to show, these challenges account for a fundamental ambivalence in memoirs and novels which have largely been regarded as paradigmatically ‘realistic’ and ‘authentic’ anti-war narratives. Their documentary impetus, i.e. the claim to tell the ‘truth’ about the war, is often countered by textual fragmentation and a “cinematic telescoping of time” (Williams 29), i.e. by a structure which implies that such a ‘truth’ could not really be articulated. In consequence, these texts also explore the relationship between fact and fiction in the attempt at rendering an authentic account of the modern war experience. My examples are Edmund Blunden’s Undertones of War (1928), Robert Graves’s Goodbye to All That (1929) and the novel Generals Die in Bed (1930) by the Canadian Charles Yale Harrison, as well as German examples like Ernst Jünger’s In Stahlgewittern (1920; The Storm of Steel, 1929), Ludwig Renn’s Krieg (1928; War, 1929) and Edlef Köppen’s Heeresbericht (1930; Higher Command, 1931).

An analysis of published and unpublished materials generated by the Canadian Army Medical Corps during the First World War demonstrates that Canadian doctors and nurses serving in France created a narrative of the Great War that was more optimistic in its message than the canonical war books written in the 1920s and 1930s and more internationalist in orientation than the dominant narrative of the war created in Canada after the war.

For the duration of the First World War, the Canadian Expeditionary Force was officially integratedin principle, but stubbornly segregated in practice. Black soldiers, having fought to fight, discoveredthat relationships forged in the trenches often shook ingrained prejudices. If there was no such thingas an atheist in a foxhole, then the same could be said of bigots and baseball diamonds. Integrated baseball inthe CEF was more common than extant histories suggest. Black and white soldiers played against each other,and shared benches alike, when such desegregated diamonds were still exceedingly rare on the home front.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The public tends to think of war memorials as fixed monuments, but I argue that the American and Canadian Legions served as living memorials that acknowledged veterans’ war-time service by providing service to veterans and to the public. This dissertation focuses on how Legionnaires interacted with one another and with their local communities during the interwar years to construct memories of the First World War. By analyzing local chapter records from Michigan, New York, and Ontario, Canada, this case study highlights the contrast between the organizations’ national and local activities. The local posts’ and branches’ wide range of activities complicated the national organizations’ collective memories of the First World War. A new way to construct a holistic depiction of veterans’ organizations is to study them as living memorials. From this perspective, all of their day-to-day activities fulfill the larger purpose of preserving and perpetuating the memory of their war experiences. At the national level, the American and Canadian Legions advocated for legislation to benefit veterans, but it was primarily at the local level where rank-and-file members shaped the Legions’ collective memories of the war. This study explores elements of those memories, including sacrifice, service, and camaraderie, through the tensions that sometimes arose between the national leadership and the local chapters and compares the American and Canadian Legionnaires’ experiences.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The war against Germany was perceived by the majority of English Canadians as a necessity to defend the British Empire, democracy and justice. However, it became increasingly evident to the public that some individuals were being permitted to prosper, while others — particularly those of the working class — endured immense hardship. These individuals who prospered at a level judged excessive became known as "profiteers." Initial criticisms of profiteering were connected to graft, jobbery and patronage apparent in government military purchases. However, as public sacrifices intensified, the morally acceptable extent to which individuals and businesses could profit came to be more narrowly defined. Criticisms of profiteering expanded to challenge the mainstream liberal notions of private wealth and laissez-faire policies as being inequitable and undemocratic. The federal government's unwillingness to seriously implement measures against profiteering led to rising discontent. Consequently, working-class English Canadians aspired to form a 'new democracy' that was worth the sacrifices of the war.Thesis (Master, History) -- Queen's University, 2013-09-19 19:02:13.077

Dubé, Alexandre. "Construire la guerre totale par l'image au Canada (1914-1918) : acceptation différenciée d'un discours de guerre « totalisé »". Thèse, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/18338.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Tant pour les contemporains que pour les observateurs des XXe et XXIe siècles, la Première Guerre mondiale représente un épisode de l'histoire de l'Humanité particulièrement difficile à se représenter, que plusieurs ont qualifié de « guerre totale ». Ce concept, souvent utilisé comme synonyme une guerre d'extrême intensité, est généralement compris sous l'angle matériel; on parle de la mobilisation totale des ressources humaines, financières et matérielles. J'explore plutôt, dans cette recherche, l'intention de chercher à détruire totalement un ennemi au risque d'être soi-même détruit dans le processus. Car, comment peut-on en venir à jongler avec l'autodestruction sans que la guerre n'acquiert un sens logique, parce que nécessaire à sa propre survie, voire même désirable pour créer un avenir meilleur?
À cet effet, l'étude du cas canadien est particulièrement pertinente, car le dominion britannique, sans être objectivement menacé de destruction, a fourni un effort de guerre relativement comparable aux États européens occidentaux. Comprendre la « guerre totale » canadienne de 1914-1918 peut alors aider à comprendre celles d'autres pays et d'autres conflits. Je propose dans ce mémoire une analyse discursive basée sur l'image de guerre – dessins, caricatures et affiches – en deux temps. Tout d'abord, il se crée au niveau international un « vocabulaire » de la guerre totale partagé par les Alliés et constitué de mythes, images, et mots-clés qui permettent l'articulation d'un discours de guerre commun. Ensuite, le Canada intègre de manière différenciée ce discours pour des raisons politiques, ethnolinguistiques, culturelles, etc. La dynamique de création identitaire empruntée à l'international (« nous », les Alliés, contre « eux », les ennemis de la civilisation) se transpose au plan national, avec pour point d'orgue les élections de décembre 1917.
En observant comment le Canada réagit au stress de la guerre totale des Alliés, il est possible d'observer d'une autre manière que ne le propose l'historiographie traditionnelle les luttes politiques et sociales du dominion en guerre. Je propose un portrait de la société canadienne où l'identité, les idées, le genre, et l'appartenance à la communauté canadienne ne dépendent pas de l'ethnicité, mais plutôt de l'adhésion ou non aux buts de guerre totale avancés par les Alliés. En bref, l'appartenance à une communauté internationale d'idées en guerre – les Alliés – sert, selon cette analyse, de moteur aux acteurs nationalistes canadiens.Ranging from contemporaries to observers of the XX and XIX centuries, the First World War is a part of human history difficult to portray that many have described as a “total war”. This concept, which is often employed as a synonym for a war of extreme intensity, is generally perceived from a material angle. In other words, it involves an all-out mobilisation of human, financial, and material resources. As part of this research, I focus on the intention to completely destroy the enemy at the risk of destroying oneself in the process. After all, why would actors think it logical to risk self-destruction in the war? Above all, this struggle needs to be perceived as logical, which would make it necessary for their own survival; it could even be perceived as desirable because it presages a better future. For this reason, the study of the Canadian case is quite instructive because this British dominion, without objectively being threatened with destruction, has participated in a war effort in a way comparable to Western European states. Hence, understanding the concept of Canadian “total war” of 1914-1918 can enable us to better understand total war efforts of other countries and other conflicts. In this dissertation, I propose a twofold discursive analysis based on images of war—drawings, caricatures, and posters. In the first part, a new “vocabulary” of total war common to the Allies and comprised of myths, images and key words geared to the articulation of a common war language is created in the in the international arena. In the second part, Canada adopts this language, albeit in a differentiated form, for political, ethno-linguistic cultural, and many other reasons. The dynamic of identity creation is borrowed from abroad (“Us”, the Allies against “Them”, the enemies of civilisation) and is transposed to the national level, culminating during the elections of December 1917. By observing how Canada reacted to the resulting stress of the total war effort of the Allies, it is possible to develop an alternative observation of political and social struggles of the Dominion at war that runs counter to traditional historiographies. I propose a portrait of Canadian society where identity, ideas, gender, and a sense of belonging to the Canadian community do not depend on one’s ethnicity, but rather on whether or not one supports the objectives of the total war put forth by the Allies. In brief, the sense of belonging to an international community of ideas at war—the Allies—, according to this analysis, is the guiding principle for nationalist Canadian actors.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Twice during the first half of the twentieth century, on two separate and distinctly
unique wartime campaigns in Europe, the survival of Canadian overseas armies was
badly threatened not by enemy guns, but by the menace and ravages of an unseen enemy:
infectious disease.
Between the spring of 1915 and the fall of 1918, hundreds of thousands of
Canadian soldiers lived and fought in the trenches of the Western Front. The Canadian
Expeditionary Force (CEF) faced many tactical challenges in fighting this radical and unknown style of war in the trenches. There were also many medical challenges faced by the Canadian forces during this new era when they soon discovered that the trench
environment was highly conducive to the rapid development and spread of infectious
disease. In particular, pathogen carrying pests, such as body lice and rats, and
“mysterious” emerging diseases, such as trench fever, would become the bane of
existence for many Canadian soldiers. Life in the trenches would prove to be inherently
dangerous for reasons other than enemy fire.
Just two and one half decades later, during the Second World War, the Canadian
First Division, recently victorious in occupying Sicily, was decimated, not by its German or Italian foes but by an epidemic of the mosquito transmitted infectious disease of malaria. Anti-malaria measures and precautions were well known, but the Canadians would discover that both the application of these practices and the compliance of the rank and file could not be taken for granted.
This work examines the important influence disease vectors and infectious disease
had upon the lives and experiences of our soldiers, as well as the conduct and outcomes
of two important twentieth century military campaigns conducted by Canada’s army
between 1914 and 1945. In essence, this study will explore and analyze Canadian
attempts, both individual and corporate, to control, possibly defeat or at least come to
terms with, its most elusive and silent enemies on the field of battle – infectious diseases.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
L’étude du discours de guerre destiné aux enfants de Montréal, entre 1914 et 1918, concernant la Première Guerre mondiale n’a pas retenu l’attention des historiens canadiens. Pourtant, à travers une analyse des journaux montréalais, des revues pédagogiques du Québec, de certains écrits gouvernementaux, il est possible de comprendre comment la guerre est expliquée aux enfants.
Ce mémoire vise à mettre en relief les caractéristiques et les objectifs du discours de guerre destiné aux enfants montréalais d’âge primaire. Le premier chapitre s’attardera aux connaissances factuelles transmises aux enfants afin d’établir les raisons qui leur sont présentées quant aux origines de la guerre. Nous constaterons la mise en place d’un triple discours : un discours de peur, un discours visant à rassurer et un discours culpabilisant pour sensibiliser les enfants à l’effort de guerre canadien. Le chapitre suivant analyse les principales caractéristiques des récits de guerre proposés aux enfants. Nous serons ainsi en mesure de cerner les objectifs de ce genre d’histoires. Enfin, nous verrons la place de l’enfant dans le discours de guerre. Nous montrerons comment l’enfant des récits de guerre devient un acteur dans le conflit et comment les écrits utilisent les actions héroïques enfantines.
Dans cette guerre qui insiste sur la mobilisation de tous, le discours s’adresse aux filles et, surtout, aux garçons. La Première Guerre mondiale est un sujet incontournable à tel point qu’elle sert de prétexte pour inculquer aux enfants certaines connaissances traditionnelles et nouvelles. Elle s’immisce dans le quotidien de l’enfant, à l’école, dans ses loisirs et dans ses corvées familiales. L’enfant doit développer son patriotisme et les qualités « naturelles » propres à son sexe : les garçons doivent apprendre à faire la guerre et les filles à la soutenir.
Le discours de guerre cherche à embrigader l’enfant dans l’effort de guerre canadien. Il insiste sur plusieurs nouvelles thématiques qui auparavant ne faisaient pas partie des enseignements habituels, comme la situation géopolitique de la Belgique. Il incite les petits Montréalais à devenir de bons futurs citoyens qui sauront, si l’occasion se représente, donner leur vie pour leur pays, mais, dans l’immédiat, il les incite surtout à participer à l’effort de guerre.Canadian historians have neglected World War I’s discourse of war aimed at Montréal children between 1914 and 1918. Yet, through an analysis of Montréal newspapers, Québec pedagogical magazines, and some governmental publications, it is possible to understand how the war is explained to children. This thesis aims to highlight the characteristics and objectives of the discourse of war aimed at primary-age children in Montréal. The first chapter focuses on the factual information transmitted to children to determine how the origins of the war were explained to them. We observe the establishment of a triple discourse: a discourse of fear, a reassuring discourse, and a discourse to encourage guilt to sensitize children to the Canadian war effort. The following chapter analyses the principal characteristics of war stories for children. Thus, we will be able to distinguish the objectives of these types of stories. Finally, we will see the role of the child in the discourse of war. We will show how the child in war narratives becomes an actor in the conflict and how the publications use children’s heroic acts. In this war that stresses the mobilization of the entire population, the discourse is addressed to girls and boys, but especially the latter. The First World War is a rich subject in as much as it serves as a pretext for inculcating children with certain traditional and newer knowledge. It finds its way into children’s daily routines, into their leisure activities and household tasks. Children must develop their patriotism and the “natural” virtues appropriate to their gender: boys must learn to make war and girls to support them. The discourse of war seeks to draw the child into the Canadian war effort. It stresses a number of new themes not previously part of an ordinary education, such as Belgium’s geopolitical situation. It encourages young Montrealers to become model future citizens who, when the occasion arises, will know how to give their life for their country, but, in the shorter term, it particularly encourages them to participate in the war effort.

This chapter focuses on the garrison artillery branch of the Canadian Militia, which played a unique part in mobilization for the First World War. It cites the legislation that limited the Canadian Militia to home defense, a role in which the garrison artillery had a leading part for the protection of sea ports and which it fulfilled throughout the war. It also talks about the siege batteries of heavy howitzers for the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), the organization created in August 1914 to raise contingents for overseas service. The chapter describes officers on the rolls of the militia garrison artillery units that mobilized in 1914, which succeeded in leadership roles throughout the whole of the war. It mentions that garrison gunners benefited from an identity as an elite group of technicians especially suited for warfare in the industrial age.

Print news was part of Canadians’ daily lives, with the printed word shaping perceptions of all events, and especially the war that raged overseas from 1914 to 1918. This chapter explores how the First World War was interpreted through the Canadian periodical press, both in English and French, in the cities and in rural areas. A sampling of periodicals around key debates and issues reveals the prewar warning from newspapers of the coming war; Canada’s duty to the allied war effort; the growing dissent for the increasingly unlimited war effort; how censorship was carried out and which stories were affected; the highlighting of key battles and casualties; and the role of Canadian journalists in reporting the war overseas. The chapter also explores how editors and journalists not only reported the war but also shaped messages for Canadians. ‘Although there is probably as much going on in the country as at any previous time,’ wrote the Toronto Globe in the summer of 1916, ‘nothing seems worth recording except the war … there is no news except war news.’
