Poppy Campaign: Hockey Night with the DML

Leave a reply

Once again Branch 25 is incredibly thankful that the Prime Moose, Sarah Price, has agreed to take some poppies and a poppy box and make them available at upcoming Digital Moose Lounge events.  The images below are ones that were shared by the organization from their “Hockey Night with the DML” which featured the Sharks vs. Leafs.

Below are some images from the event and I want everyone to note the poppies in each picture.

Archeologists uncover hospital artifacts at notorious PoW camp

STORY BY STEPHEN J. THORNE

Archeologists have uncovered a rare set of artifacts from a former hospital at the site of a notorious prisoner-of-war camp where more than 40,000 Allied captives, including Canadians, died during the Second World War.

The dig was conducted in an overgrown area of what was once the Lamsdorf PoW camp—specifically, the principal subcamp of Stalag VIII known as Stalag VIIIB in what is now Łambinowice, Poland. The archeologists uncovered syringes, a razor fragment, underwear and uniform buttons, utensils and remnants of a heating stove.

“It was a part of the camp that had never before been the subject of field research,” said the project’s head, Dawid Kobiałka of the University of Łódź Institute of Archaeology in central Poland.

“Even the precise location of its individual buildings and their present state of preservation was unknown.”

Trainbusting Canadians busting records in Korea

STORY BY SHARON ADAMS

In late-October 1952, during the Korean War, HMCS Crusader joined the Trainbusters Club in Korea. Within six months, Crusader garnered the club’s championship for Canada.

The club was an informal competition between ships in the conflict which took out adversary trains.

“We had some of the finest gunners in the Canadian navy,” said Irving Larson of Crusader.

It began in July 1952 after an American destroyer, the USS Orleck, demolished two trains in two weeks. It was declared trainbusting champion and a challenge was issued to beat the score.

A ship could only claim trains if they destroyed the engine, regardless of how many rail cars were obliterated.

In our latest themed reading list, we feature books authored by well-known historians such as Gwynne Dyer, Ted Barris and Tim Cook, alongside a detailed graphic history of a key First World War battle, a novel that portrays life in a war zone for younger readers, and several other titles. See the full list here.

Medical discoveries

This month’s book giveaway is for one of the titles included in the above-mentioned Canadian military-history reading list, courtesy of Allen Lane. All recipients of the Reading Den are automatically entered to win one of three copies of Lifesavers and Body Snatchers: Medical Care and the Struggle for Survival in the Great War, by Tim Cook.

Based on extensive research and unpublished letters, Lifesavers and Body Snatchers illuminates how the carnage of battle gave birth to revolutionary medical innovations and brings to light shocking revelations and the hidden history of Canadian health care.

Canada’s History Archive featuring The Beaver

Please note: Some items featured in our newsletters and social media will include links to the Canada’s History Archive. The Beaver magazine was founded, and for decades was published, during eras shaped by colonialism. Concepts such as racial, cultural, or gender equality were rarely, if ever, considered by the magazine or its contributors. In earlier issues, readers will find comments and terms now considered derogatory. Canada’s History Society cautions readers to explore the archive using historical thinking concepts — not only analyzing the content but asking questions of who shaped the content and why.

Domestication of Human Trafficking in Canada

27 October @ 7:00 pm ET
Human trafficking is an issue that has garnered significant attention in Canada and globally, following the enactment of the United Nations’ Trafficking Protocol in 2002. Expansive laws, policies and mandates against trafficking were put into place following Canada’s ratification of the Protocol. This talk will examine some of the impacts of these efforts over the past twenty years, including how trafficking has come to be defined, and its impacts on sex working, migrant and racialized communities.
ATTENDANCE INFORMATION

This hybrid event will be hosted in-person and broadcasted live via Zoom.

If you would like to attend in-person, the event will take place at 232 King St N. Doors will open at 6:30pm.
