Happy National Seniors Day! Did you know a 78-year-old soldier served with the CEF (Canadian Expeditionary Force) during the First Word War?

It’s true! William John Clements was born in 1837 and lied about his age in order to enlist.

Our blog article “Age is just a Number” details the stories of William AND other soldiers who also lied about their age in order to enlist in WWI! The bilingual article is available on our website: https://honouringbravery.ca/age-is-just-a-number/

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to honour and remember the children taken from their families, those who never returned home, and the individuals, families, and communities still living with the lasting impacts and trauma caused by the residential school system in Canada.

Today we are honouring Fred Ogilvie Loft, a Kanyen’kehà:ka soldier born on the Six Nations of the Grand River in 1861.

At the beginning of WWI, Fred encouraged other Indigenous men to support Canada’s war efforts. Already in his 50s, he lied about his age in order to qualify to serve overseas with the Canadian Forestry Corps.

After the war, Fred founded the League of Indians of Canada, the country’s first pan-Indigenous political organization. He also advocated for the rights of Indigenous people and for the closure of residential schools.

Charlotte Harman was one of over 100,000 children sent to Canada as part of the British Home Children relocation program.

Charlotte came to Canada in 1908 and was eventually placed at the home of Mrs. R. E. Wood of Appleby.

After graduating nursing school, Charlotte enlisted in the Canadian Army Medical Corps on May 28, 1917 and worked as a Nursing Sister at No 2. Base Hospital in Toronto. In October 1917, she married her husband Ralph Awrey and subsequently was discharged from service that November.

Charlotte and Ralph lived in Hamilton, where they raised two sons. Charlotte passed away in 1982 at the age of 91.

In honour of Gender Equality Week, let’s talk about the SWINTER trials!

For much of the 20th century, certain military roles were unavailable to women. This led to the Servicewomen in Non-traditional Environments and Roles (SWINTER) trials.

Between 1980 and 1985, 280 servicewomen took part in the SWINTER trials. The results of the trials demonstrated that women could perform well in “non-traditional” military positions.

In 1989, the military opened all roles to women, except service aboard submarines and chaplaincy.
