"The Register of the names of those who fell in the 1939-1945 War and are buried in Cemeteries in Canada"
Cemeteries in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island
Canada During the 1939-1945 War
I. Canada During the 1939-1945 War
Although our country was not subject to direct enemy attack during the second world war, 6,395 of our servicemen gave their lives in Canada in the performance of their duties and now lie forever in her soil. With them rest many of their Commonwealth brethren � a reminder to us that the rigours and dangers of battle are but part of the final price of victory.
From 1939 to 1945 the military program in Canada was, in the main, to provide training facilities for active operations. At the same time, preparations were made to defeat any attack against this country. Units of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force were involved in this defensive system. Newfoundland � though not, in the political sense, part of Canada at that time � was garrisoned by Canadian troops throughout the war under arrangements made with the British Government.
Most of the operational bases in Canada were concentrated in or near the coast and included anti-aircraft and coastal artillery, searchlight batteries and infantry battalions specially assigned to coast defence. The Royal Canadian Navy patrolled the seas and, growing in strength, assumed the heavy responsibility of escorting the trans-Atlantic convoys. Later in the war the Navy fought U-boats which penetrated into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and even into the river itself. Aircraft of the R.C.A.F. ranged over the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans on anti-submarine and reconnaissance missions. In these, and similar operations, many sailors and airmen gave their lives.
Further inland, and all across the country, the training and administration of Canada�s Armed Services was carried on in a vast network of camps and military headquarters. Over 1,075,000 Canadians wore their country�s uniform at some time during the war. Of these 730,500 served with the Canadian Army; 240,900 with the Air Force and 104,300 with the Navy. These figures included more than 48,000 women who served in the three services. Early in the war, the Government of Canada offered training facilities for large numbers of Commonwealth airmen from the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. This plan operated until the end of hostilities and trained a total of 137,739 air-crew personnel. Of these 72,835 were Canadians, 42,110 were from Britain, 9,606 from Australia and 7,002 from New Zealand. The remaining 6,186 airmen belonged to the air forces of our allies, and served mostly with or in the Royal Air Force. It was inevitable that many Canadian and Commonwealth servicemen died in Canada through accident or sickness while under training in these vast enterprises. In addition some of the Canadians who returned as wounded from the battlefronts, died after reaching their homeland, and are buried in Canadian cemeteries.
II. War Graves in Canada
Most Canadian and Commonwealth war graves lie close to the coastal areas or near the larger training centers. However, the policy of the Canadian Government provided for Canadian servicemen who died in Canada to be buried in a cemetery chosen by their next-of-kin. As a result, war graves are to be found in all areas of Canada, from the smallest village to the largest city. There are 1,139 Canadian cemeteries in which there is only one war grave. By contrast, in Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver, 254 servicemen lie buried.
A classification of 7,594 war graves in Canada includes those of our allies and our former enemies, which are in 1,778 different cemeteries and churchyards; and of servicemen whose remains were cremated and either scattered or buried in places where adequate commemoration is not possible. The names of the later are recorded on memorials in Ottawa (Beechwood) Cemetery, Ontario, and Burnaby (Ocean View) Crematorium, British Columbia. The figures for the United Kingdom include one man of the Royal Navy and four men of the Merchant Navy whose graves could not be marked by headstones. They are therefore commemorated in the cemeteries concerned by special memorials Type A, which bear the superscription "Known to be buried in this cemetery". The figures for the Canadian Army include 30 men for the Newfoundland Regiment, one of whom is not identified. The special memorials Type D take the form of headstones commemorating casualties believed to have been buried in the graves which they mark. They bear the superscription "Believe to be".
Of the three organizations mentioned in the footnotes, British Overseas Airways Corporation was one of several civilian organizations recognized by the Armed Forces, whose members� graves rank as war graves; while R.A.F. Ferry Command was an auxiliary of the Royal Air Force, subsequently absorbed by Royal Air Force Transport Command when it was established in March 1943.
From these figures it will be seen that altogether 7,431 Canadian and Commonwealth casualties of the Second World War died and were buried, or cremated, in Canada. Their graves, carefully marked and maintained in perpetuity, and memorials, serve as a constant reminder to us of the ideals and sacrifices made by the men of Canada and the Commonwealth on our behalf.
The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, in operation from May 1940 until Mary 1945, was among the factors contributing to the growth of British air power, and to the high standard of skill attained. In September 1939, when it seemed that Britain would be unable to train the large number of airmen required if the air supremacy necessary for her survival was to be achieved, Viscount Stanley Bruce, then High Commissioner for Australia in the United Kingdom first proposed this plan, originally called the Empire Air Training Scheme. Under it, as fully operated, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa pooled their resources in aircrew training. Elementary and some advanced training was given to an agreed number of pilots and aircrews at schools opened in considerable numbers in each country, officers and men being lent by the United Kingdom, as required, to help with the training. In Canada alone 360 schools and kindred units were established. On completion of their courses in other countries many of the airmen went to Canada for further training on aircraft produced in Canada and the United States of America, and in 1941 and 1942 British pupils were also being trained in the U.S.A. When fully trained the Canadian airmen were absorbed into the Royal Canadian Air Force, and the Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans proceeded to Britain, where some joined squadrons of their own Dominions which were formed within the Royal Air Force, some served in Royal Air Force squadrons and others became instructors in their own special subjects. Many of those going to the United Kingdom for operational duties, instead of traveling by sea, were formed into crews to fly aircraft across the Atlantic. This practice, improvised because of the persistent shortage of civilian ferry crews, became an essential part of the ferry service.
R.A.F. Ferry Command and R.A.F. Transport Command. In the first few months of the war, when aircraft were desperately needed and home production was only in the early stages of development, the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian Pacific Air Service jointly initiated the Atlantic Ferry, a civilian bomber ferry service to fly the aircraft direct from the factories in Canada and the U.S.A. to the Untied Kingdom. To inaugurate the ferry a number of British airline pilots went to Canada, and many Canadian radio operators volunteered their services. The first American bombers to be flown across the Atlantic left Gander, Newfoundland, late on November 10th, 1940 and arrived safely in Britain on Armistice Day. In November 1941, shorter range aircraft began flying to England via a new R.A.F. base at Goose Bay, Labrador and a British staging post which was established at Reykjavic in Iceland; and single seater fighters flew from Labrador first to American bases in Greenland and then onward via Iceland. A second route, across the South Atlantic, was inaugurated in 1942 from the R.A.F. bases at Nassau in the Bahamas or Darrell�s Island in Bermuda via Trinidad, Natal on the extreme eastern coast of Brazil, and Ascension Island, to Accra on the west coast of Africa, whence they were flown to the battle areas in North Africa. A special organization known as Atfero -- Atlantic Ferry Organisation � was set up to handle the growing volume of traffic, and this was administered for the Ministry of Aircraft Production by British Overseas Airways Corporation. A "Return Ferry Service" to take the ferry crews back was organized with Liberators, operated sometimes by mixed R.A.F. and B.O.A.C. crews.
At first the aircraft were flown by American civil pilots to the reception centers where they were taken over by Atfero; but later, when American servicemen flew the planes from the factories, they had to be handed over to a military command instead of a civil authority. In July 1941, therefore, Atfero became R.A.F. Ferry Command, an auxiliary of the Royal Air Force, but a mixture of civilian and service personnel continued to work together both in the air and on the ground.
The creation of Atfero of course necessitated the building of new airfields on the western side of the Atlantic. The first was Gander, Newfoundland, which was developed from an existing experimental airfield; and on Gander Lake, about a mile from the airfield, a new seaplane base was built and was first used in June 1941. The next and largest was at Dorval, near Montreal, completed in the Autumn of 1941, which became the main reception center and headquarters of R.A.F. Ferry Command and later of R.A.F. Transport Command. By mid-November 1941 the runways at Goose Bay, Labrador were ready for use. At Boucherville, a few miles north-east of Ottawa, a marine base for flying training and for the dispatch of seaplanes was quickly completed.
In March 1943 the Secretary of State for Air, Sir Archibald Sinclair, announced the establishment of Royal Air Force Transport Command, responsible for controlling the operations of R.A.F Transport squadrons at home, for the reinforcement movements of squadrons between the United Kingdom and overseas theatres, and for the organization and control of strategic air routes for all overseas ferrying organisation, thus absorbing R.A.F. Ferry Command.
The book was compiled and published by order of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, 1962. "The particulars given in the registers of the names have been compiled from information furnished by the Records Offices concerned and by the next-of-kin.
