CANADA'S BATTLE HONOURS

The following is an excerpt for an article in the Legion Magazine entitled "Canada's Battle Honours" dated 01 Sep 2003. It has been edited to reflect information on Battle Honours pertaining mainly to the RCN.

Battle honours awarded to units of the the Royal Canadian Navy are a custom that was inherited from the Royal Navy. They publicly recognize the presence of a navy ship in a particular battle or campaign and their contribution to it.

Although the Royal Navy has battle honours predating battle pre-WW1, they were not awarded until after WW II. Prior to then, the selection of “unofficial battle honours” was left to each ship’s captains. When the RN decided to officially award battle honours in 1954, a list was drawn up by the British Admiralty of appropriate naval engagements to be honoured, going back for hundreds of years. The objective for coming up with such a list was to foster naval traditions and esprit de corps among ship’s companies. The Royal Canadian Navy list was not promulgated until 1957.

The oldest honour, from the time of Queen Elizabeth I, is Armada 1588.

The British Admiralty considered there was only one imperial navy, and all ships and sailors of the Empire belonged to it. Honours, all with appropriate year dates, were awarded not to ships’ hulls, but to ships’ names. If a vessel’s name were changed, she lost any honours associated with the old name. Similarly, if a former ship’s name were revived, its honours were also restored. And so, naval battle honours are perpetuated by succeeding ships of the same name.

The Royal Canadian Navy’s first ships merely kept their RN names, such as Niobe and Rainbow. Before WW II, Canadian names began to be used, a practice that grew during the World War 2. Because of the large numbers involved, class names were soon used, including towns and cities for corvettes and minesweepers, and rivers and Indian tribes for destroyers.

Reserve divisions were named differently. These units were commissioned in 1941, bearing the names of former naval and commercial vessels associated with the area in which the Reserve Division was located. As some have names of British ships that existed years ago, the somewhat strange situation exists whereby some of these units display battle honours won before Canada became a country with its own navy.

For example, reserve divisions carry such battle honours as Armada 1588, Kentish Knock 1652, Quebec 1759 and Jutland 1916. In spite of the recommendations of the Mainguy Report in 1949 to Canadianize the RCN, these honours remained unchanged.

The first “true” Canadian battle honours for the navy were awarded for WW2. Of the 59 honours granted, the RCN gained 12, ranging from the Atlantic, awarded to 260 ships, to more limited ones won by a few. Among these are North Africa, Norway, South France, Aegean and Okinawa. The ships that won these, with the exception of the Norway honour, are no longer in commission. These honours are “lost” and will not be displayed again unless the names are re-commissioned.

HMCS Oriole, the navy’s sail training yacht, is the oldest commissioned vessel and longest serving ship in the Canadian navy. She carries another unique WW II battle honour–Dunkirk 1940–won by the RN ship of that name. Oriole is the only Canadian ship to have this honour.

Two additional WW II battle honours are uniquely Canadian and were not awarded until long after the war. In 1992, the Governor General approved Gulf of St. Lawrence. With a subsequent revision in 1999, 83 Canadian ships gained this honour for convoy escort and patrol operations against enemy submarines. Previously, Atlantic covered all actions in vast stretches of the Atlantic north of the equator, including Gulf of St. Lawrence, eastern seaboard of the United States, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.

At the same time, the British, who created the original list, divided the waters around the United Kingdom into several different areas for battle honour purposes, such as North Sea, English Channel and Biscay. Perhaps a review similar to that conducted for the Gulf of St. Lawrence is required for other areas of the Atlantic to give Canadian ships their proper recognition.

Such a review was done for the Pacific Ocean, with another unique Canadian battle honour created, Aleutians. Five ships gained this honour for their role in that campaign, although only one, HMCS Vancouver, is currently commissioned.

The battle honour Korea was awarded to HMCS Crusader and seven Canadian tribal-class destroyers for operations in Korean waters.

After the Korean War, there was a long break before battle honours were awarded again. Additionally, during those years the separate services were unified and the Canadian Forces created.

The last battle honour to be awarded to ships of the Canadian navy was Gulf and Kuwait/Golfe et Kuwait for the 1990-91 Persian Gulf War. This honour is uniquely Canadian and is the first battle honour for the Canadian Forces since its unification in 1968. HMCS Athabaskan, HMCS Protecteur and HMCS Terra Nova won this honour for their part in the conflict. This honour is also the first bilingual award, and the first naval honour not to have a year date, both a break with tradition.

In almost two centuries, Canadian fighting units (Army, Navy and Airforce) have won 270 different battle honours. Such honours are invaluable for inculcating in our servicemen and women a sense of the traditions and esprit de corps they have inherited from their forebears. They are a significant part of the history of our ships, regiments and squadrons; daily reminders of the sacrifices made by those who played their part in our nation’s wars. Canada’s battle honours are a source of pride forever.

CANADIAN WON BATTLE HONOURS

The following is from "Canadian Warship Names" courtesy of the author LCdr. David J. Freeman, Ret'd.

The following unofficial list is of all known Battle Honours won by Canadian warships from 1939 to 1991, This list is for named ships only. A name not listed means no honours have been awarded. The British won honours from 1588 to 1953 have not been included.

There have been no single ship actions awarded to the Canadian Navy at any time. And there was no award for convoy duties or patrol duties on the western side of the Atlantic during the First World War.

Battle Honours for HM Ships such as PUNCHER, a British ship manned by Canadian Naval personnel, are listed. But honours are not listed for HM Ships that carried Canadian names while manned by British personnel, e.g. HM Ships BAFFIN, PARRSBORO, and QUALICUM. (Webmaster's note: as HMS PUNCHER was not commissioned in the RCN - she is not listed here in this Battle Honour's list)

This list of awards is extracted from the following records:

1. Admiralty Fleet Order (AFO) 2565/54, 1 Oct 1954.

2. An undated manuscript on Battle Honours for the common Commonwealth List obtained from the Naval Historical Branch, Ministry of Defence, London, by NDHQ/Directorate of History in 1985. Note: there are anomalies in this list, e.g. TROIS RIVIERES is listed as THREE RIVERS; COBOURG as COBURG; etc.; FUNDY, GASPE and others are not listed; and the list disagrees with BRCN 150 as to honours awarded some ships, e.g. FRASER and LA HULLOISE.

3. BRCN 150.

4. NGO 2.06/11. Note: there are some anomalies in this list, e.g. THUNDER is awarded ATLANTIC 1941-44, the AFO does not list her and the Commonwealth list states 1941-42, 1944. In BRCN 150 the award is listed as ATLANTIC 1940-45. Since NIPIGON did not commission until 1941, the NGO seems correct.

5. CANFORGEN 032/94 ADM (PER) 044/94 071700Z JUN 94. Aleutians Battle Honour.

6. CFSO 25/92 Gulf of St Lawrence Battle Honour awarded to Canadian warships.

7. CFSO 5/94 Gulf and Kuwait Battle Honour awarded to Canadian warships.

8. Memo 5400-34 (DHH Heritage Officer) 2 Nov 99 to A/CMS. Amended list of ships awarded the Gulf of St Lawrence Battle Honour.
Many Naval Reserve Divisions rightly continue to display Battle Honours from the common Commonwealth list and will continue to do so until and unless, paid off. Only one regular force ship is now entitled to display British won honours and that is ORIOLE, e.g. DUNKIRK 1940.

Battle Honours should be listed and displayed in the order won, which is normally seen by year dates. Where more than one award is listed for a given year, the rule still applies.

Knowledgeable readers may note that many of the ships listed here will probably never have their names used in the Canadian Navy again, e.g. LOCH ALVIE, MEON, TEME, etc. Further, as far as can be determined, the Royal Navy continues to use Canadian won Battle Honours from the Second World War. This means that during that period Canadian seamen in HMC Ships such as MEON and COLLINGWOOD won Battle Honours for the Royal Navy.

As noted in Chapter 2 of Canadian Warship Names by David J. Freeman, the 1988 decision to employ only Canadian won Battle Honours has been taken. As can be seen by the descriptions written in the Ships Eligible column in Annex T, however, the award of Battle Honours is at best a subjective matter. Less than four years after AFO 2565 was issued, for example, an Admiralty historian, P.K. Kemp, wrote a memo dated 26 Mar 1958 to his boss Cdr Rowbotham, head of the Historical Section. To paraphrase the relevant sentence: when British Battle Honours were originally being compiled, some matters did not perhaps receive all the attention they deserved.

And when one nation - Britain, from its own perspective of some 400 hundred years of battles around the world - decides the awards for another nation - Canada who can only really look back to 1939 - the decisions made must be regarded with some degree of scepticism. Take the award for the Battle of the Atlantic from 1939 to 1945 as one example. The fighting around Britain was divided into several areas - North Sea, English Channel, Biscay. Everything else in the Atlantic north of the equator, including operations in the Caribbean, east coast of the USA, Gulf of St Lawrence and the Irish Sea, were covered by one award.

It is the opinion of David J. Freeman, author of Canadian Warship Names, that a review of all Canadian Naval awards needs to be undertaken from a Canadian perspective. The Gulf of St Lawrence award in 1992, revised in 1999, is an example of such a review. Another is the fact that for Vietnam service in the 1970s, the RAN Naval Board, not the Admiralty, issued a Battle Honour to Australian ships so entitled.

Periodically, a review of a given Naval Battle Honours occurs within NDHQ/DHH, which is the reason behind the DHH memo quoted in Record No. 7 on the previous page.

BATTLE HONOUR PARAMETERS / SECOND WORLD WAR and KOREA

The information below has been extracted mainly from Admiralty Fleet Order 2565/64, 01 Oct 1954, "Battle Honours for HM Ships and Fleet Air Arm Squadrons" which included RCN ships.

SELECTED BATTLE HONOURS FROM THE COMMON COMMONWEALTH LIST PERTAINING TO THE RCN

Battle Honour Area	Years	Area Limits	Ships Eligible
AEGEAN	1943-44	All waters of the Aegean Archipelago between 35 to 42 N and 22 to 30 E.	Ships and vessels which were engaged with the enemy in the area between 7 Sep and 28 Nov 1943, and also during 1944.
ARCTIC	1941-45	Within the Arctic Circle, except for the coastal waters of Norway to the southward of Tromso.	All ships, including the covering forces which were employed as escorts to or in support of the convoys running to and from North Russia; also those ships and submarines which operated in the area and took part in a successful action.
ATLANTIC	1939-45	The North Atlantic, from the Equator to the Arctic Circle	All ships and submarines which were employed as escorts to ocean convoys in the North Atlantic, and also those ships of Support Groups which took part in a successful action.
BISCAY	1940-45	Between the latitudes of Ushant and Cape Ortegal from 12W to the coast of France	Ships and Submarines which were employed on patrol duty in the area and took part in a successful action. The interception and sinking of enemy blockade runners is not a qualification for the award.
ENGLISH CHANNEL	1939-45	The Channel and all waters on the South Coast of Britain between Southend and Bristol, the western limit being a line drawn from Ushant to the Scilly Islands, and thence to the North Coast of Cornwall.	All ships which were employed as escorts to Channel coastal convoys, and also other ships and submarines which took part in a successful action in the area. Successes achieved in connection with Operation Neptune are recognized by NORMANDY.
MEDITERRANEAN	1940-45	The whole of the Mediterranean, the western limit being a line joining Cape Spartel and Cape Trafalgar.	All ships and submarines which took part in successful actions that are not covered by any of the named Battle Honours for area. That is to say, the destruction of an enemy ship or submarine which was effected during and in connection with a recognised campaign, e.g. SICILY 1943, is regarded as an incidental item of the campaign, and not as qualifying for a separate award. If, however, the success was unconnected with any named operation for which a Battle Honour is granted, then it will qualify for the general award of MEDITERRANEAN with the year date(s). Minor bombardments will also qualify for this award.
NORTH SEA	1939-45	The North Sea and all waters to the eastward, between Southend and the Shetland Islands, except coastal waters of Norway.	All ships which were employed as escorts to coastal convoys on the East Coast of the UK. Also ships and submarines which were employed on patrol duty in the area and took part in a successful action.
NORWAY	1940-45	The coastal waters of Norway, as far north as the latitude of Tromso.	All ships and submarines which were engaged in the Norway operations from 8 April to 8 June 1940, and also those which took part in a successful action in these waters at later dates.
OKINAWA	1945	The Far East.	All ships and submarines which are mentioned in the published dispatch as having taken part in Operation Iceberg.
KOREA	1950-53	Not known	All ships under United Nations command which took part in operations against Communist forces in Korea between 2 July 1950 and 27 July 1953.
GULF AND KUWAIT	1991		HMC Ships and Air Squadrons that participated in OPERATION FRICTION in the Persian Gulf in 1991
ARABIAN SEA		The geographical boundaries of the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, the Suez Canal and those parts of the Indian Ocean north of 5 degrees south latitude and west of 68 degrees east longitude.
