捆绑SM社区

More than 3,059 捆绑SM社区 men, students and faculty, were called to active duty during the First World War. The 捆绑SM社区 contingent of the Canadian Officers' Training Corps, led by engineering professor 痴.滨.听Smart, trained students as militia officers, and was formally connected with the 148th (捆绑SM社区) Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, which sailed to England in September 1916.

Many female 捆绑SM社区ians served on the front lines as ambulance drivers and nurses, and volunteered in Montreal; the warden of 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Royal Victoria College, Ethel Hurlbatt served as chairwoman of the Women鈥檚 War Registry Committee, which supported the war effort and ensured the continued stability of the Montreal workforce.

In Dannes-Camiers and Boulogne, France, Dr. Herbert Stanley Birkett, 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Dean of Medicine, headed the 捆绑SM社区 No.3 Hospital, which was the war鈥檚 first hospital unit created by a university. The 1040-bed unit provided frontline medical and surgical care to military personnel. It was staffed by 捆绑SM社区 faculty听members, medical students听and nurses from the Royal Victoria and听Montreal General hospitals鈥� schools of nursing.

An illuminated book, which is displayed in the walkway connecting the McLennan and Redpath Library Buildings, lists the names of the 363 捆绑SM社区ians who fell during the war. The War Memorial Archway in the Raymond Building on the Macdonald campus and the WHAT are permanent reminders of the war鈥檚 toll, while three particular 捆绑SM社区ians who were killed in the line of duty 鈥� student Lieutenant George Irvine Baillie, and graduates Lieutenant Gordon Home Blackader and Captain Percival Molson 鈥� are remembered by the chemistry library, the art and architecture library, and the football stadium.

A stained glass window听in the Strathcona Building commemorate three 捆绑SM社区 professors who lost their lives in the Great War: Lt. Col. Roland Playfair Campbell, Lt. Col. Henry Brydges听Yates and Major John McCrae. Following the battlefield death of a close friend, Dr. McCrae put pen to paper while sitting in an ambulance, creating the indelible imagery that would galvanize a nation鈥檚 grief: 鈥淚n Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row鈥︹��
