VALCARTIER CAMP By Bernie Monaghan At the outbreak of World War 1 in 19l4, a large section of the Township of Valcartier was selected by the Federal Government as a site for a MILITARY TRAINING CAMP. As a result, this decision caused the properties of a sub¬stantial number of residents who lived in the area, mostly farmers, to be expropriated. As a war was on and the decision to expropriate had been made in short order, some of the residents were reluctant to leave and remained in their homes even after shells began bursting around them. Valcartier Camp was the creation of Sam Hughes, right hand man of Sir Robert Borden who was Prime Minister of Canada at that time. Mr. Hughes, an ardent Orangeman, had been in charge of the Nation's Military Forces since 19l1. He held the rank of Major-General. He was always considered a con¬troversial figure and reference to him for the most part was considered derogatory. August 24th, 19l4, saw the first troops arrive in Valcartier. Here some thirty-three thousand soldiers were to be TRAINED for overseas service. In less than a month the tract of land bisected by the Jacques Cartier River, had been transformed into a bustling Military Camp complete with roads, water mains, railway sidings, stores, showers and movies for the troops, and three miles of rifle range besides training space for heavy artillery and cavalry http://www.pbalkcom.com/Cassin Pages/HistoryValcartier.htm Below are some First World War mass-produced postcards from the Canadian TRAINING CAMP AT VALCARTIER, Quebec.
