My grandparents lived during WW1, the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression and WW2.\u00a0 I think it is safe to say that these challenging world events has a significant impact on their lives.<\/p>

The whole world has faced war before.\u00a0 Not an invisible war like the COVID 19 virus.\u00a0 And not like the Star Wars movies that my grandchildren have started to watch.\u00a0 These previous wars were not fought amongst the stars.\u00a0 During the 20th<\/sup> century there were two world wars.\u00a0 They were fought on the ground, on the seas and in the sky overhead.<\/p>

My grandchildren\u2019s parents were not born yet.\u00a0 AND neither were their grandparents.\u00a0 But their great grandparents and their great-great grandparents lived during these world wars.\u00a0<\/p>

This is the story of how my grandchildren\u2019s great-great grandfathers (MY GRANDFATHERS) contributed to WW1.\u00a0<\/p>

[That is not to say that their great-great grandmothers did not play their part during these difficult years.\u00a0 However, there are no specific historical records available to highlight the war effort that non-military women completed by working and supporting many previously male dominated occupations.]<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Mattawa is a bilingual town in northeastern Ontario, just across the river from Quebec. The number of French Canadians established in the community was still more than 35% in 2016.<\/p>

Mattawa became a logging hub in the 19th<\/sup> century, when large untouched stands of white pine were harvested and then the Mattawa River was used to transport logs to sawmills.\u00a0 Logging remains an important industry in the region still today.<\/p>

A typical scene for log rolling along a river is provided in the the above picture (right hand side).\u00a0 Log jams were not unusual along the creeks and rivers.\u00a0 The log rollers would have to risk life and limb to walk on the the logs that floating in the river to release the log jam.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Albert Dallaire volunteered to serve in WWI on March 17, 1917 at Renfrew, Ontario.\u00a0 He was only 17 years old at the time.<\/p>

Initially, Albert was assigned to the 42nd Regiment of the 240th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF).\u00a0 Reference pages 1 and 2 of his military record.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Albert Dallaire was one of many young Canadian men who lied about their age when enlisting in the army.\u00a0 His suspected age, his stated occupation of “Log Roller” plus his French-Canadian heritage were all considered when he was assigned to serve in the Canadian Forestry Corps in France.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

“The Forestry Corps was created during the First World War when it was discovered that huge quantities of wood were needed for the Western Front.\u00a0 \u00a0The British government concluded that there was nobody more experienced or qualified in the British Empire to harvest timber than the Canadians.\u00a0 At first the idea was to harvest the trees from Canada’s abundant forests and then bring them overseas.\u00a0 But space aboard the merchant ships was at a premium, so it was decided to use the Canadians over in Europe, cutting down forests in the UK and France.\u00a0<\/p>

Altogether some 35,000 Canadians served in the Forestry Corps -which eventually was composed of dozens of companies.\u00a0 Each company was composed of several hundred workers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Many member of the Forestry Corps were underaged volunteers.\u00a0 These young men\u00a0 had lied about their age to be accepted for overseas service, but they were strongly suspected to be under the age of 19 and were therefore not legally allowed to serve in combat.”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Forestry operations in the Gironde and Landes Districts of France, originated with the arrival of companies 45 and 46 at Ar\u00e9s France (see circled location) in the summer of 1917.\u00a0 Albert Dallaire was assigned to company 46.<\/strong><\/p>

The forestry workforce at these locations included 94 officers, 2848 other ranks and 845 horses.\u00a0 The weekly output of lumber was 2,000,000 FBM (Foot Board Measure).\u00a0 That is enough lumber to build 125, 2000 square foot homes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

You may wonder what all this lumber was used for.\u00a0 At the war front the army walked on timber that was placed over the mud.\u00a0 Trucks sometimes also drove over timbers.\u00a0 Light and heavy railways also required a huge number of railway ties.\u00a0 Underground timber was used for dugouts and trenches.\u00a0 Then there was also army and medical huts, ammunition boxes, and stakes for barbed wire.\u00a0 Finally, there were the logging roads, their railway tracks and the timber bridges for forest operations.\u00a0<\/p>

The Canadians brought their expertise and<\/strong> their sawmills\u00a0 to Great Britain and France.\u00a0 By the end of 1917, a total of 89 sawmills and 73 logging engines were sent to operations in Great Britain and France.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
