TERRY COPP

THE IRISH CANADIAN RANGERS IN CANADA AND IRELAND, 1914-17

29 September @ 7:00 pm ET

The Irish Canadian Rangers began as a Militia Regiment in 1915 after Catholic and Protestant Irish agreed to cooperate. After the battle of Second Ypres, the regiment contributed a full company to the 60th Battalion and began a campaign to persuade Sam Hughes to promise that an Irish Canadian Rangers battalion would go overseas as the 199th under its own officers. Recruiting began in 1916 and continued despite the Easter Rebellion in Dublin and the growing turmoil in Ireland. The 199th struggled to reach full strength but responded favorably to a British request to tour Ireland before joining the 5th Canadian Division.

Drawing upon research for his recent book, Montreal At War, 1914–1918, Terry Copp examines both Irish and Canadian history in this dramatic, formative period.

The Second World War brought many crucial changes to the lives of Canadian women, including the opportunity for wider military service.

This talk will examine key aspects of their wartime experiences using biography and material culture.

DIEPPE 80 YEARS AFTER: THE JUNO BEACH CENTRE’S EXHIBITION FROM DIEPPE TO JUNO

10 August @ 7:30 pm ET

CLICK HERE to register
The Dieppe Raid is shrouded in controversy and tragedy. For decades, it dominated Canadians’ collective memory of the war. Considered a tragic failure since 1942, its story is as complex as it is nuanced. The presentation will explore the challenges of putting together an exhibition on a subject of failure in a place of victory like Juno Beach. It will also explore our evolving understanding of the raid, its links to Juno Beach on D-Day and the liberation of Dieppe in September 1944 as well as its place in Canada’s collective memory of the Second World War.

Egyptian Expeditionary Force in WW1: Battle of Romani talk now available on Vimeo

These recorded talks may be of interest to some of our members.

Good afternoon,
I hope you’re keeping well.
I’ve uploaded our talk from last week, in which I was discussing the Battle of Romani in 1916, onto Vimeo.  For those who couldn’t make it, the link is here:

Battle of Romani.mp4 on Vimeo

Many of our other talks are also up on Vimeo.  I think some of them had been locked so that you had to log into a Vimeo account to view them, but I’ve gone through them all and I think they are all publicly available now.  If you have any problems, please let me know.
Among the videos are the first two episodes in our new ‘shorts’ series.  These are 10-15 minute videos about particular aspects of the EEF or the daily life for those involved, and will be an irregular and occasional series, basically whenever I get the time to record them.  The first one is here, looking at how the EEF coped with the desert conditions in the Sinai:
I hope that the shorter ‘bite-size’ videos will be able to balance convenience with still providing quality information.
All the best,
Stuart Hadaway
