Bridges to bikers
Organised labour has been a frequent target of state surveillance performed by police. One west coast waterfront labour union known for radical politics and leaders, hard collective bargaining, and alleged flirtations with lawbreaking attracted particular attention from Canada’s national police service in mandated federal and contract policing roles. Over the span of decades, security and criminal intelligence blended together to create an exagge…

The British Pacific fleet was neither needed nor wanted for the final operations around Japan, but it went anyways to fight alongside the Americans.With the surrender of the Italian fleet and winding down of the European war against Nazi Germany, the Royal Navy's battleships, aircraft carriers, and cruisers were short of useful employment, and the last opportunity for major fleet actions was now in the Pacific.Despite serious shortfalls in logist…

A Sailor’s View of Early Service in the Marine nationale on the Eve of the First World War
Conventional naval histories seldom consider the individual experiences of common sailors. Subaltern and other approaches to history from below use new sources to take a different viewpoint. In May 1913, recruit Georges Brucelle arrived in Toulon to start voluntary service in France’s Marine nationale. After completing common training, he specialized in torpedoes and undertook instruction to gain qualification. Assigned to a destroyer minelayer, …
Professional Port Police
In response to a troubling rise in criminal activity in some of Canada’s major commercial seaports during the mid-1960s, the federal Department of Transport engaged a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police/Gendarmerie royale du Canada (RCMP/GRC) member seconded from the Dominion Bureau of Statistics to study the scope of the problem and suggest possible improvements. Two reports were prepared, an internal one for the government harbours board and a…

Mobsters, Mounties, and Canadian Governmental Responses to Organized Crime, 1965–67
Due to its secretive nature and propensity to spread if left unchecked, organized crime bedeviled politicians and law enforcement officials in North America. The popular mythology surrounding the gangster and mobster betrayed the harsh realities of illicit business activities geared towards exploitive profit. Canada was slow to appreciate that career criminals connected to mafia syndicates from the United States and their home-grown accomplices w…

Coursework During Officer Attendance at the École de guerre navale in Paris 1920-1939
Following the interruption of the First World War, the French Navy’s higher naval school reopened its doors to receive selected officers admitted for advanced studies. In keeping with its mission statement, the naval war school prepared them for staff duties and higher command positions appropriate to their competencies and rank. Most were French naval officers, though foreign officers from other navies allied to France also attended on a yearly …
J.E. Kaufmann and H.W. Kaufmann, Fortress Europe
Different European countries planned, funded, and built a wide variety of fortifications and military strongholds in the modern period from the Crimean War to the end of the Second World War.Some were more or less permanent installations prepared during peacetime over years and decades and manned by dedicated troops, while others were definitely ad hoc in response to wartime exigencies, time and available resources, geography, as well as particul…

The Long Goodbye
The armed forces of India and Pakistan draw legacies from a common British imperial past. British influence persisted in the navies that emerged from independence and partition on the South Asia subcontinent. Complaints over treatment and other grievances in the colonial Royal Indian Navy underscored a major mutiny in February 1946, prior to division of warships, shore-based establishments and personnel between the two countries. The transformati…
Limits of Generosity and Trust
Economic mobilisation and close collaboration were central to Allied victory over the Axis powers in the Second World War. At political and senior military levels, American and British staffs worked together to harness available resources, pursue a common strategy, and exchange vital information. Although virtually taken for granted in retrospect, provision of the vast quantities of war materials and munitions necessary for timely prosecution of …

Local resources, government procurement arrangements, private companies running shipyards, and types of workers building standard ships to a variety of designs are considered. Wooden shipbuilding, from a programme perspective, was soundly managed but delivered ships too late to have any real impact on the F…

Dollars, Diplomacy and Fleets
Material arrangements for the naval war against Japan in the closing stages of the Second World War involved extensive financial and naval negotiations between the British, Americans and Canadians. The economist and wartime public servant John Maynard Keynes was instrumental in ensuring that the Royal Navy received at least part of its requirements for munitions, ships and aircraft from North America without straining fragile British finances ava…
Strategy, Fleet Logistics, and the Lethbridge Mission to the Pacific and Indian Oceans 1943–1944
In modern warfare at and from the sea, logistics are crucially important to the implementation of strategy and conduct of operational campaigns. Between August 1943 and March 1944, a British joint service mission led by Major-General John Lethbridge travelled to North America, the Pacific, and India to study the organisation, equipment, and methods necessary for coming offensive operations against Japan. The British obtained valuable information …

Enrolment at the French Navy’s School of Advanced Studies in Paris from 1896 to 1899
The navy in France, like several other leading countries in the late nineteenth century, opened a school of higher learning for education of naval officers aspiring to command and staff positions. The School of Advanced Studies came out of a struggle between the ministers and officers supporting the Jeune École and those of a more conventional frame of mind within the naval establishment. The school’s background and rationale, as well as a list o…
War stimulus
Henry Eccles, in classic studies on logistics, describes the dynamics of strategic procurement in the supply chain stretching from home countries to military theatres of operations. Naval authorities and industrialists concerned with Japanese aggression before and after Pearl Harbor looked towards developing shipbuilding capacity on North America’s Pacific Coast. The region turned into a volume producer of merchant vessels, warships and auxiliari…
Rear Admiral Henry John May and the Royal Navy War Course 1900-1904
In 1900, the Royal Navy instituted formal advanced instruction for selected officers to better prepare them for higher rank and professional demands. The war course represented a concession to pressure for a staff or war college comparable to other navies and armies. During the tenure of its first director, Henry May, curriculum content and delivery focused on subjects appropriate to practitioners interested in contemporary naval affairs. This ar…
