The regiment comprises three Regular Force battalions two Primary Reserve battalions and a band making it the largest regiment in the Canadian Army. The ceremonial home of the regiment is La Citadelle in Quebec City where the regimental museum is housed. The regiment is nicknamed the Van Doos an anglicized mispronunciation of vingt-deux "twenty-two" in French. The regiment's regimental headquarters is located in Quebec City with all three of its regular battalions stationed at various bases in the province of Quebec. The regiment serves as the "local" infantry regiment for Quebec. During the Korean War 1951-1953 the regiment expanded to three battalions each serving in turn as part of the Canadian brigade in the 1st Commonwealth Division. Thus the "Van Doos" represented one-third of Canada's infantry contingent throughout the war.

African American Military History Integrated U.S. Army Soldiers Photo Archive Korea and Post WWII 1950s

1957193551957. Vernacular photograph archive of African American soldiers in integrated U.S. Army units circa 1950s documents the early implementation of military desegregation following Executive Order 9981 and provides visual evidence of Black and white soldiers serving together during and after World War II including the Korean War. The photographs place African American servicemen within the first generation of formally integrated military units preceding broader civil rights gains in civilian society. Scenes of joint training transport and daily life show Black soldiers operating alongside white counterparts in contexts ranging from shipboard movement to antiaircraft defense positions indicating the practical realities of integration in active and post-conflict environments. The archive captures both structured military activity and informal moments offering a record of service that contrasts with the segregated conditions that had defined earlier periods of U.S. military history. United States and Korea circa 1950s. Archive of 21 silver gelatin vernacular photographs with several images bearing manuscript captions on the verso identifying individuals and locations including one noting Korea 1957-1958. Photographs depict a range of settings including military bases in Korea stateside camps shipboard scenes and antiaircraft gun emplacements in snowy terrain. Multiple images show interracial groups of soldiers posing with rifles and submachine guns while others capture informal activities including one sequence featuring a soldier holding an inflated puffer fish aboard a ship. One photograph includes a note written in Italian on the verso indicating cross-cultural contact or circulation. Composition and subject matter vary from posed group portraits to candid operational and leisure scenes. Created during the first decade of enforced military integration these photographs align with the transitional period in which desegregation policies were implemented unevenly across the armed forces with fuller integration not realized until the mid-1950s. The Korean War served as a critical testing ground for integrated units accelerating changes in military structure and social dynamics within the ranks. This archive provides a ground-level view of those developments documenting both the normalization of interracial military service and the persistence of shared routines duties and environments across racial lines. Light wear from handling with minor surface marks and occasional verso annotations; overall very good condition. unknown

Buffalo Soldier in The Spanish American WarBiblio.com

African American Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry and 369th Infantry Photograph Archive

1918205021918. Buffalo Soldier regiments depicted in stereoview photographs from the World War I era document African American cavalrymen and infantry units serving in segregated formations of the United States Army during the early twentieth century. These images record soldiers from several historically significant Black military units including the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 10th Cavalry and the 369th Infantry Regiment. African American soldiers served in large numbers during World War I despite segregation in the armed forces and the war marked a turning point in public recognition of Black military service. The photographs capture cavalry movement machine gun training and celebratory returns from the European front preserving visual evidence of the military presence and public visibility of Buffalo Soldiers during the conflict. Archive consists of seven stereoview photographs published by the Keystone View Company during the World War I period. The views depict soldiers from the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 8th Regiment of Colored Troops the 10th Cavalry the Chicago Regiment of Colored Troops and the 15th Regiment of the 369th Infantry. Two stereoviews show Black machine gun companies operating Lewis guns one of the principal light machine guns used on the Western Front during the war. Another view shows Troop K of the 10th Cavalry moving on horseback at Camp Chickamauga in Georgia. Additional stereoviews depict African American soldiers returning from European service and marching in public celebrations including scenes of troops parading along major boulevards such as Fifth Avenue in New York. The Buffalo Soldier regiments had already established a long military record before the First World War. Units such as the 10th Cavalry formed part of the segregated Regular Army created after the Civil War and served in campaigns across the western United States during the Indian Wars later participating in the Spanish American War the Philippine American War and operations during the Mexican Revolution. World War I marked one of the final periods in which cavalry units remained visible in American military organization as mechanized armor and motorized vehicles soon replaced mounted troops. At the same time Black soldiers who returned from service were celebrated in wartime parades yet continued to face segregation and racial discrimination within American society. Stereoview cards remain well preserved with light age wear typical of early twentieth century photographic prints. Very good condition overall and a visually compelling record of Buffalo Soldiers during the World War I era. unknown

African American Military History Buffalo Soldiers Stereoview Archive World War I Keystone View Company Images of Black Troops in Europe

1918205031918. Keystone View Company. Buffalo Soldiers stereoview photographs World War I era document African American military service in the American Expeditionary Forces and place segregated Black troops within the broader Allied war effort in Europe. The images identify units of "Colored Troops" including engineers of the Signal Corps and depict formations logistical organization and moments of assembly such as soldiers "lined up for democracy." These photographs situate African American soldiers-many of whom descended from the Buffalo Soldier regiments established after the Civil War-within a transnational military environment that included French British and colonial forces. Scenes showing interaction with Moroccan and Indian troops on French roads reflect the multinational composition of Allied armies during the final phases of the war while the presence of Black American troops underscores their continued participation in major military operations despite segregation within the U.S. Army. France and possibly other European locations circa 1917-1919. Archive of seven stereoview photographs published by the Keystone View Company. Images depict African American soldiers in formation including lines for mess and organized ranks as well as mixed Allied groupings on roadways and near encampments. Stereographic format intended for three-dimensional viewing with printed captions identifying subjects and units. Photographs emphasize both structured military order and the varied roles occupied by Black troops particularly in engineering and support divisions. Produced during the final years of World War I these stereographs align with the expanded deployment of African American soldiers overseas and the broader visibility of Black troops within global conflict. While their service contributed to Allied operations these soldiers returned to a United States that maintained racial segregation and limited civil rights situating the archive within the larger history of African American military participation and postwar inequality. As visual records the images support research into race military organization and the international dimensions of the war. Light handling wear; overall very good condition. unknown

Eric writing from Egypt on April 16 notes "We are once again in the trenches where we have had a very lovely time for a few days."

Black Army Transportation Corps Soldiers from Segregated World War II Service to the Truman Desegregation Era Occupied Japan Belgium and Germany in 100 Photographs 1941-1952

1941196921941. African American Army Transportation Corps photo archive depicting Black enlisted men and noncommissioned officers in wartime transport service occupation duty and domestic training between 1941 and 1952. The strongest identified material centers on the 3528th Transportation Corps Truck Company active from 1943 to 1946 and its successor the 551st Transportation Corps Truck Company active from 1946 to 1947. A captioned portrait places Joseph Galloway "somewhere in Belgium" on December 6 1944 ten days before Germany opened the Ardennes offensive that became the Battle of the Bulge. President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 on July 26 1948 requiring "equality of treatment and opportunity" in the armed services but Army integration unfolded gradually through the occupation years and into the 1950s. Photo archive of 100 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 1.75 x 2.25 inches to 3.75 x 5.5 inches United States Belgium Japan and West Germany circa 1941-1952.

Galloway poses with a pistol in Belgium; transport trucks appear in operation and maintenance; unit facilities domestic training camps interregimental competitions a 155 mm howitzer and soldiers beside a Sherman tank marked "Barbra" extend the record beyond portraiture. Occupation-era scenes include bombed urban landscapes in Japan locations identified as Osumi and Kyoto Black troops with Japanese civilians Buddhist monks at a temple and later service in West Germany including Bonn and Karlsruhe. Approximately one quarter bear manuscript captions identifying individuals dates or locations. In WWI many Black troops were denied combat roles and assigned to stevedore work labor battalions butchery companies road work hauling unloading ships and other manual support duties. The National Archives specifically notes that many Black units were kept from front-line fighting and "relegated to support duties." These Black soldiers served heavily in transportation engineering construction and supply roles during World War II making Army logistics one of the central places where African American military labor sustained Allied movement while the armed forces remained segregated. Several scenes place Black and White soldiers working alongside one another preserving the transitional military culture between wartime segregation and the uneven implementation of Truman's desegregation order. Light edge wear occasional creasing and minor surface abrasions to several prints; manuscript captions legible where present; no significant losses observed. Overall in very good condition. The archive gives named faces unit evidence vehicles weapons occupation landscapes and manuscript identifications across the decade when Black military service moved from segregated wartime labor toward formal integration. unknown

MANUSCRIPT. FIRST WORLD WAR TRENCHES DIARY. Diary of a British soldier of the 49th Infantry Division ending abruptly on December 19 1915 the first day Phosgene gas was used against the British

19154227France Belgium England 1915. Good. Oblong 8vo. Small "Walker's Service Notebook" 154 x 94 mm lined 26 pages filled with neat entries in pencil and pen final page of diary loose the remaining portion of the notebook i.e. about 2/3 blank. Original limp cloth covers worn. § Extraordinary manuscript diary of an anonymous British soldier beginning April 12th 1915 and ENDING ABRUPTLY IN THE TRENCHES AFTER A GAS ATTACK. The final entry was dated December 19th 1915 which was THE FIRST DAY PHOSGENE GAS WAS USED AGAINST BRITISH SOLDIERS. The short diary is rich in detail of life at the front. The anonymous soldier belonged to the 49th West Riding Division which had a large number of gas casualties when soldiers in reserve lines did not receive a warning in time to put on their helmets. A study by British medical authorities arrived at a figure of 1069 gas casualties 120 of which were fatal. It is very possible that the present manuscript was written by one of those men. It seems probable that with access to the right regimental records the identity and fate of the soldier could be learned and his story told in full; however even as an anonymous diary the interest and poignancy of this personal record is clear. The events recorded span just nine months. On April 12th the soldier leaves Edenthorpe near Doncaster and crosses the channel to Le Havre that evening "packed like herrings" and accompanying horses and wagons. Over the next few months he records laying lines opening signal offices handling horses towns and villages visited billets and meals injuries regiments encountered names of comrades and O.C.s shelling rain and mud. He sees the Northumberland Hussars the Indian Corps and Royal Horse Artillery. On May 9th he records the Battle of Aubers Ridge: "Off duty at 7am. Attack began at 5am by Artillery. Signal thro' during day showed heavy losses in E. Lancs Lincolns. 13th London and other Batts. Had coffee in Fleurbaix and then to bed in barn. Off duty 3pm. Attack still proceeding without much impression on our line. French said to be doing well. At night we have the two windows in our Signal Office made up with corrugated iron & sandbags." For the entry dated May 12th our author notes that the name of the Division has been "altered to the 49th" thereby confirming the identity of his Division. On May 24th: "The Allamands dropped about 6 shrapnel in our vicinity." From a period of steady work and periodic pleasures "had tea & cakes at a patisserie & and then back after buying some books" "glorious day" the situation deteriorates with the weather "torrential rain dugouts leaking & 18" water on my floor". They move to Chateau de Trois Tours and on July 13th there is "rather an exciting night" with a bombardment from 7.30 to 10.30. On the 14th "The whole place is being encircled by barbed wire & trenches & the furniture is being moved out of the chateau." On the 15th "At 12.45pm about 12 shells fell round the chateau made a dive for the Signal Office Billy Edwards & Gus Harris wounded in thigh and ankle." They were shelled again on the 16th. On December 1st he travels back to Sheffield on leave returning on December 8th. The company are now holed up near Ypres at Hospital Farm the name given to a farm building used as a dressing station. The final entry reads "Dec 19th 'S.O.S.' Gas attack 5.30 am things lively until 8.30am. 146 & 148 des. 148 soon repaired from chateau". The cemetery at Hospital Farm contains 115 Commonwealth burials of the First World War. On the significance of the 19 Dec. 1915 battle at Wieltje Belgium northeast of Ypres see the long Wikipedia entry "German Phosgene Attack of 19 December 1915." The diary contains many clues that could help identify our writer in military records. It is not certain that he was one of the first British casualties to Phosgene gas but it seems tragically likely. As it stands the final entry in the diary marks an important milestone in the war: phosgene gas would eventually be responsible for about 85% of the 90000 deaths caused by chemical weapons during World War I. unknown
