Western Development Museum

100th Anniversary of the First World WarIn August 2014, exhibits at the four Western Development Museums will mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War. The Museum joins with the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada, and many other countries that will be embarking upon a multi-year commemoration of the war’s Centenary. Our living memory of that awful conflict has now disappeared. Nevertheless, the level of interest in the Great War and its ramifications today remains vibrant. The WDM will be marking the outbreak of the First World War with four showcase exhibits – initially, one at each of our four Museums. We hope visitors will pause at our showcase exhibits and read the interesting Saskatchewan-based stories they have to tell. Later in 2014, the four showcases will be combined into one exhibit that will travel throughout the WDM system over the next few years.Saskatchewan SacrificeA century ago on August 4, the outbreak of war in Europe reached out and touched almost everyone’s life in some way or other. Hundreds of Saskatchewan men, many with British roots, left their jobs, farms and families to defend our freedom. Few thought the war would last four long and bloody years. Some believed it would all be over by Christmas. How wrong they were. In total, over the course of four years, 41,619 Saskatchewan people (30,997 volunteers and 10,622 conscripts) were mobilized.Saskatchewan’s enlisted overseas contingent suffered the highest casualty rate of all the provinces in Canada – 18.1 percent. The 46th Infantry Battalion (South Saskatchewan) from Moose Jaw, for example, had a 26.7 percent fatality rate. Of the total 5,374 soldiers who served in the Moose Jaw battalion, 4,917 or 91 percent were either killed or wounded, earning it the name “Suicide Battalion.” On August 4, the names of 1,200 Saskatchewan citizens who lost their lives during the conflict will be added to the First World War Memorial west of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina. This will bring the total to 6,200 Saskatchewanians – or people with Saskatchewan connections – who fell in that war. Four WDM Exhibits:William Hurst Bothwell’s uniform: Trained with the local militia in Moose Jaw, Bothwell signed on with the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force in September 1914. Two weeks later he was on his way to England with Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, the first Canadian contingent to arrive. Scarcely a month after Bothwell’s battalion landed in France in March 1915, he was wounded. After his recovery he re-enlisted, this time with the Canadian Machine Gun Corps. Promoted to Major in 1917, Bothwell saw action in Belgium and France including the decisive September 1918 battle of Bourlon Wood. Bothwell

was discharged in April 1919 and returned to Saskatchewan where he found work with the Canadian Pacific Railway.Bothwell’s gas mask: The PH helmet introduced in late 1915 was the fourth protective device issued to British Empire soldiers. Made of two layers of flannel, one impregnated with chemicals to help counteract the deadly phosgene gas, the helmet covered the soldier’s head and neck. After recovering from a wound suffered in April 1915, Bothwell joined the Canadian Machine Gun Corps. This helmet was part of his kit. Ernest Elmer Auckland’s uniform: Auckland was conscripted in the fall of 1917 under the Military Service Act introduced that year. The Act required men between the ages of 20 and 45 to enlist if called up. Little is known of Auckland’s military service. The shoulder patch suggests he served in the 2nd Battalion, Machine Gun Corps in the 2nd Canadian Division. Whether he saw active duty on the battlefield is uncertain. We do know that Auckland survived and returned to farm near Speers.Rev. Frank Herbert King’s communion set: King, originally from England, looked after five congregations including those in the Young and Zelma regions of Saskatchewan before enlisting as chaplain with the Australian Imperial Force in 1916. King was with his Australian unit in Jerusalem when the city fell to allied troops. In his words, the communion set “was used at the first celebration of Holy Communion... immediately after the taking of the Holy City in... November 1917.” Five years later, Reverend King was back in Young. When he left for good in 1923, King entrusted his precious communion set “to his beloved people” of Young.

TRAVEl TRAilER

Built from materials salvaged from bombed buildings in England after the Second World War, this trailer was brought to Canada in 1952 and used by the Thane family in their travels around the country. It is currently on display at the Moose Jaw WDM.

The months of May and June were very busy with our school tours and education programs. Thank you to our many volunteers who help with our school programs such as Museum Days. While there are far too many to list here I would like to thank all of them for their hard work and dedication to ensuring the students had a great experience.Many school children came to see Scotty’s Skull and Omācīw - Hunter of the Prairie Sea from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina. These impressive dinosaur exhibits show what kinds of creatures lived in Saskatchewan millions of years ago. These exhibits will be at the North Battleford WDM until October 3. The planning for our Kids’ Day Camps continues. Our camps will be July 21-25. Camps run from 11 am-4:30 pm each day and give children a chance to live like children would have almost one hundred years ago. Please call the Museum for more information or to register your child for this fun-filled week of activities. Our biggest event of the year is fast approaching. Those Were the Days will be taking place on August 9 & 10. We are hard at work setting up demonstrations, sponsors and volunteers. New this year is the Western Canada Chapter 38 International Harvester Collectors (IHC) club. They will have a parade, an annual member meeting, and all members’ collector tractors on display! Back for another year is the Barbeque Showdown where competitors see who is the master of the grill! Old farm favourites like threshing, steam engine and gas tractor demonstrations and the Parade of Power will take place. For fans of our four-legged friends, fancy drill miniature horses join our dog show, wagon rides and petting zoo. There will also be pancake breakfasts (both days), concessions, beer gardens, entertainment, domestic demonstrations, show and shine, trade show and the Volunteer Association garage sale. Come out to this fun event - there will be something for everyone. For more information on any of these great summer activities please visit our website or give us a call at 306-445-8033.
