But is the ideal of being a citizen first and a soldier only by necessity an unchanging feature of the Canadian identity? This compelling history traces the evolution of the Canadian amateur military tradition in the turbulent years from 1896 to 1921. Before the Great War, Canada's military culture was in transition as Canada navigated an uncertain relationship with the United States and fought an imperial war in South Africa. Gradually, the untrained civilian replaced the long-serving volunteer militiaman as the archetypal amateur soldier, setting the country down a path leading directly to the battlefields of Flanders and northern France.Militia Myths reveals the history of a military culture that consistently employed the citizen soldier as its foremost symbol, but was otherwise in a state of profound change. 410 0$aStudies in Canadian military history,$x1499-6251. 606 $aSociology, Military$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xHistory, Military 607 $aCanada$xMilitia$xHistory 607 $aCanada$xArmed Forces$xHistory 615 0$aSociology, Military 676 $a355.00971 700 $aWood$b James A.$f1978-$01564604 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779357103321 996 $aMilitia myths$93833791 997 $aUNINA
