Rubbish.  Most of the posters here seem unaware that this is a single panel in a larger Bomber Command display that attempts to address many of the arguments raised here.  Read the minutes of the Senate hearings (and the final report that I have not yet read) if you are interested in both sides...

There's an email link for him on the museum page here: http://www.fortgarryhorse.ca/phpweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=17&MMN_position=18:18

Granatstein will also be at the Museum of the Regiments in Calgary the same evening. http://www.museumoftheregiments.ca/main/vi_lc.php

I am not aware of much general information in the way of a published unit history or the like, but have done some research in the 6 A/Tk war diary, focused on 56 Bty.  It's very light on names, etc., but if you have a place or a date that you are interested in, I might be able to assist. Kevin...

They occasionally appear on eBay, but can be expensive.  Had my eye on some 1:50,000's from around Caen and south over the weekend (important Canadian area) and while some of the peripheral ones went for around $25 US, the key ones were up around $90 US per sheet. Not quite the same, but you...

Maple Leaf Legacy only photographs official war graves (c. 1947 at the latest for WW II IIRC).  The grave of Mr Phillips is a veteran's grave, so is outside their scope.

I'm unable to listen to this CBC clip to verify, but this link claims that Lewis MacKenzie claims that Hezbollah is using UN personnel as human shields.  He bases this on the recent email from the Canadian casualty.  http://www.damianpenny.com/archived/007119.html This would seem to put him...

Interesting takedown from an alternative opinion source. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=21565#comments

While not directly on topic re: the Somme, I'd recommend Gary Sheffield's Forgotten Victory as a good revisionist look at the performance of the BEF in WW I.  His chapter on the Somme makes the point that an attritional battle was all that the BEF was capable of fighting at that point in the...

Using the map a little ways down this thread http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?s=659063129fb3e34f4ab43f4e104bef74&threadid=175&perpage=40&pagenumber=9 I make it near the T-intersection of the two tracks to the NE of the indicated location of BnHQ.

I'm not an expert, but does not the GS Badge also imply service in Canada only?  I also presume that it would have gone away at the end of the war.

Based on my experience, you will generally need to get into the war diary to extract info like Coy assignments, movement, etc.  Some of these have been microfilmed and can be borrowed, but many are still original copies that can only be accessed at the Archives in Ottawa.  Try this search tool...

Using my handy Service Publications (http://www.servicepub.com/) library: 1) From 'Regimental Numbers of the Canadian Army' that block is simply noted No. 2 District Depot, RCE.  There are a number of other blocks assigned similarly to RCA, RCOC, RCAMC, RCASC, etc. 2. From 'Courage and...

Bev, Assuming you are researching a WW II vet, PM me and I can put you in touch with another RRR researcher I know who has digital copies of the Company photos from early 1944.  She is attempting to identify all personnel in the photos, so you may be able to help each other.  To my knowledge...

Bunker to Bunker is still around, sharing the building with the Museum of the Regiments in Calgary AFAIK.  Don't know that they have ever had a web presence.

Here's one to hunt for: The Military Cross. Awarded to Members of The Canadian Expeditionary Force 1915-1921. With Full Citations. Compiled by: David K. Riddle, Donald G. Mitchell.

X4 List is 'reinforcement' for named unit X10 List is 'waiting return' for named unit, seems to have been used as a bit of a holding pool as guys moved around between various X lists Don't know Y2 List, but could be X2 list, which is detention ERU could be Engineer Reinforcement Unit (should...

Beldam has a site with some stuff here: http://www.armouredacorn.com/

Riflefan, I've been doing some similar research and have just put a site up with some of my research at www.reginarifles.ca.  Contact me at Kevin(at)ReginaRifles.ca and we can compare notes.
