knowledge of the war at close hand
since its outbreak.
General Crerar is 52 years old, a
native of Hamilton, Ontario. He was
educated at Upper Canada College and
Royal Military College, Kingston, He
wanted Jo join the cavalry at R.M.C.
but out of deference to his father’s
pocketgook, since cavalry organiza
tions in those days were a luxury, took
instead a job.with the Hydro Electric
in Toronto and a commission as Lieu
tenant in the NonrPermanent Militia.
When World War-ibroke out, General
Crerar went overseas with the 1st Di
vision as a Field Artillery Officer. In
June 1928, he took over the appoint
ment of Staff Officer, Artillery, Can
adian Corps, which position had prev
iously been filled by the officer who
is now General Sir Alan Brooke, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the- Home Forces
in England. In October 1918 he was
promoted Lieut.-Colonel and made
Corps Counter Battery Staff Officer,
assuming the appointment previously
held by the present G.O.C. Canadian
Corps — then Lieut.-Colonel McNau
ghton.
* Returning eventually to Canada af
ter the war, Crerar found himself at a
crossroads in his own life, as Hydro
had kept his position open for him.
He decided in -favour of a military car
eer, and in April 1920 joined the Per
manent Force and was appointed to
the Staff at Ottawa. Later ^ie attend
ed the Staff College, Camberley, Eng
land, and served as a General Staff
Officer for,two years at the War Of
fice, London. During the years 1925-
27, when General Crerar was doing a.
tour of duty as General Staff Officer
(Operations) at the War Office, his-
immediate chief for most of the period
was General Sir Archibald Waveli,.
now Britain’s famous Commander-in-
Chief in the Middle East. Returning*
to Canada in 1927 he commanded'“B”'
Battery, R.C.H.A., Kingston, was lat
er appointed professor of tactics at R.
M. C. and then went to Ottawa as- •
General Staff Officer, (Operations).
In 1932, at the Disarmament Confer
ence held in Geneva and again at the
Imperial Conference of 1937 in Lon
don General Crerar was military ad
visor to Canada’s delegations. He at
tended Imperial Defence College in<
England and in 1935 became Director
of Military Operations and Intellig
ence at National Defence Headquart
ers. In 1938 General Crerar was ap
pointed Commandant of Royal Mili
tary College,® Kingston, until war in
terrupted. As Chief of the General
Staff he is a member of Canada’s De
fence Council.

Canada has placed a huge burden on
the able shoulders of Afajor-General
Henry Duncan Graham Grerar, D. S.
O-, wartime Chief of the General Staff
of the Canadian Army. The elected
Government of Canada forms the pol
icy under which the Department of
National Defence, like all other Ot
tawa departments, is run. The General
Staff Branch, of which General Crerar
is Chief, translates that policy into
terms of military action. In order to
ensure that General Staff plans con
cerning methods and means for the
conduct of operations are properly in
tegrated the Chief of the General Staff
is also specifically charged with the
work undertaken by each of the four
Staff branches of the Department,
■e four branches comprise the
■ i General Staff which directs policy or
mobilization and equipment as well as
? training, intelligence and operations;
that of Adjutant General, which deals
with personnel; Quartermaster Gener
al, which deals with supplies; AIaster:
General of Ordnance, which deals with
guns, rifles, tanks, shells and equip
ment.
Half a dozen officers might have
made excellent Chiefs of Staff in Ot
tawa to-day. General Crerar had, how
ever, very special qualifications. Dir-;
ectly after war broke out, he was sent;
to England as Senior Combatant Of
ficer at Canadian Afilitary headquart
ers, London, made preparations for;
the arrival of Canada’s Expeditionary
Forces, for their quartering in perma
nent barracks at Aidershot and for
completion of their training and equip
ment. He was the centre of the inter
change of communications between the
Department of National Defence, Ot-<
tawa, the War Office, London, and
the General Officer Commanding Can
adian Troops in the United Kingdom.
He also tommanded Canadian troops.
not included in General AfcNaughton’s
command, such as permanent holding
Units, hospital services and Headquart
ers troops.
His job in London took him over
the various training centres in Eng
land and three times to the continent
before the capitulation of the French.
He brought back to Ottawa intimate,•ft 1
