Canadian Military History Guide 2 A message to our readers from author and editor, John Goheen and graphic designer, Markus Fahrner. In this edition of the Canadian Military History Guide, it is our hope and intention to profile people, events, and initiatives that promote remembrance and inform. In these pages, readers will find a broad range of topics and themes to consider, from a survivor of the ill-fated Dieppe Raid, to the first great Canadian Pilgrimage to Europe, to the ferocity of Hill 62, and to a baboon named Jackie who served on the Western Front. More than sixty years ago, the CBC produced a radio documentary series entitled, In Flanders’ Fields. In the program’s introduction the narrator, commented, “it has been said that we, as a nation, lack heroes. This is not so. We simply lack respect for our past to a degree that blinds us to the recognition of those heroes that we have.” It is our hope and intention that this digital edition helps Canadians recognize, honour, respect, and remember the men and women who served our nation in the past and in the present, at home and abroad, and in war and in peace.
