Corps

Colonial Williamsburg attracts tourists through many means. However, our Fife and Drum Corps remains by far the most iconic entertainment heard or seen by the guests. In our red coats, shrill fifes wailing and snare drums booming, we compel our listeners to fall in step behind us and inspire new generations with a love of history. But nobody knows the individual members making up the Corps. If you ask us, I think we prefer it that way. When I, personally, march down The Duke of Gloucester Street…

moments was no doubt the Battle of Vimy Ridge. In that battle, the Canadian Corps successfully captured a strategic hill overlooking a large plot of land over France (Newman 117). This battle was unique as it implemented many solutions in an effort to overcome the power of trenches, and that both British and French troops had both tried to take the ridge with little success (Foot, “Battle of Vimy Ridge”). Once the Canadian Corps was tasked to take this ridge, they came up with new ways to get…

Vimy Ridge is an escarpment and it was where the battle occurred. Canadian Corps had to take control of the high ground to get an advantage but it was already held down by the German Sixth Army. This proved to be a difficult task and Canadian Corps underwent weeks of training to prepare for this battle. Victory was highly dependent on the heavy artillery fire so they could use it as cover. In the end, Canada came…

By the end of June 5th, the battalion was lightened and sent to the Vancouver Camp at Chateau de la Haie. The conditions there were considerable nicer than that of the trenches. While at the camp, his brigade had a special visitor’ Corps. Commander Sir. Julian Byng. All the officers paraded and thanked for their loyal service as he became recently promoted. But only being a private, Lacon Piercy was not among their numbers. Wretchedly, their time at the Chateau came to an end, as the 12th of…

days after Vimy Ridge, a month before his confinement, and later published online on the website Canadian Letters on November 2013. The Letter served the function of informing the receiver about the situation on the battlefield, where the Canadian corps had defeated the Germans in Vimy Ridge. Letters were the most convenient and efficient…

For my Story Corps project I interviewed my mom. I decided to interview my mom because I thought about how interesting it would be to find out a little bit more about her because I have known her for eighteen years and there are still many things that I don’t know about her. I learned a lot about her childhood and learned some of the many difficult things that she had to endure as a child. I also asked her if she liked going to school and learned that it was one of the things that she loved…

the respect and honor we so proudly earn. Inside the Marine Corps we learn to honor these values and morals we received since boot camp. It molds us to become disciplined and show this figure to others. If we loose focus as a Marine we sadly decline that and become to be a lesser than normal civilian. The discipline and the honor fades immediately. One example of this is disrespecting senior enlisted or officers in the Marine Corps. If a Marine looses focus and becomes a candidate to…

The most important strategy for working effectively with host country partners is outlined in the core expectations as well as throughout the Peace Corps Volunteers Handbook, "Recognize that your successful and sustainable development work is based on the local trust and confidence you build…" In order to be an effective volunteer I must first earn the respect of the community in which I live and work…

Belgium give Canadians a reputable name as the best-offensive Allied troop. Canadian troops were given the task of being the forerunners of the attacks and we completed our assignments better than any other troop. During the last 100 days, the Canadian Corps was noted for its major contributions. In August, the Canadians successfully help execute and misled the Germans into thinking that a large-scaled attack was to occur near Ypres, Belgium. However, the real attack was planned to occur at the…
