BATTLE OF BRITAIN PARADE

Similar in context to a Remembrance Day Ceremony, a Battle of Britain Parade willfollow a similar format. Although there may be some differences in the Parade Formations orMarch Past routes, the parade will still follow the same general outline:

a. fall in, sizing and dressing;

b. arrival of the Reviewing Officer;

c. inspection of cadets;

d. a memodal service is performed and address by Reviewing Officer;

e. march past along applicable route set prior to ceremonies: and

f. dismissal.

The Memorial Services may be performed inside a Church or auditorium, depending onwhat is available in that community. The music for a Battle of Britain parade is outlined below.

THE SUNSET CEREMONY

The sunset ceremony is a display which combines elements of the Retreat, Tattoo, andother ceremonial procedures. Field guns and a rifle Feu de Joie are fired to symbolize theorigins of these ceremonies, when evening guns were fired and the night watch proved theirweapons and cleared damp charges for the night.

The ceremony was created by the navy and eventually evolved into the form it takestoday. Although the ceremony is Naval in tradition, there may be occasions where additionalcadet units may be asked to participate in a ceremony. This chapters intent is not to repeatthe Canadian Forces Manual of Drill and Ceremonial but to give an overview of this traditionalnaval ceremony. The ceremony was designed to be performed by the following personnelalthough a cadet corps could perform it with fewer numbers:

a. a 50-person guard;

b. two field guns (cannon) crews;

c. a military band, including corps of drums and buglers;

d. one signalman.

Page 4-3

ABC000001038


SEQUENCE

The ceremony is divided into eight phases, a brief description of each will follow later:

a. The March On;

.... b. Beating Retreat and Tattoo;

c. The March Past;

d. Section Ddll;

e. Feu de Joie;

f. The Evening Hymn;

g. Sunset; and

h. The March Off.

THE MARCH ON

All sub-units of the ceremony march on at the order of the Guard Commander. Theguard halts near the rear of the parade ground and centred on the dais. The guncrews wheeltoward the dais then split apart and halt in the front two comers of the parade ground. Theband, which leads onto the parade, wheels toward the dais, countermarches, retires towardthe guard, countermarches again and halts in front of the guard, facing the dais.

BEATING RETREAT AND TATTOO

When the band halts, one of the guns fires "The Evening Gun" as a signal to begin theTattoo. The Corps of Drums steps off and completes a series of countermarches and drumbeatings, finally leading the buglers to the front of the parade. Here the buglers play "FirstPost" before returning to their positions in the band.

THE MARCH PAST

On the orders of the Guard Commander, the guard and band step off. the bandmarches toward the dais before wheeling right twice and proceeding back toward the centre ofthe parade ground. The guard moves to the left then wheels right twice to meet the band headon in the centre of the parade. The guard and band march through each other before theband follows on a march past. Thetwo sub-units return to their former positions.

SECTION DRILL

The Section Drill is a complicated sedes of manoeuvres during which the guard splitsinto two divisions each marching to the edges of the parade area. The divisions then advance,in slow time, fixing bayonets on the march. Once near the front of the parade, the two

Page 4-4

i I

ABC000001039


divisions turn toward the centre and rejoin into one guard. All the Section Drill is accompaniedto the music of the band.

FEU DE JOIE

Following Section Drill, the guard fires a feu de joie. This involves three volleys fired bythe guard members with a ripple effect, starting with the marker and proceeding up and downthe ranks. Occasionally, three simultaneous volleys are fired.

THE EVENING HYMN

On completion of the Feu de Joie, the guard is stood at ease and the band plays asuitable hymn, usually, the naval hymn, "Eternal Father".

SUNSET

After the Evening Hymn, the guard presents arms, one of the guns fires a round andthe signalman prepares to lower the Canadian flag. The band plays the "OrchestratedSunset", the National Anthem and "God Save the Queen" while the Canadian flag is lowered.

THE MARCH OFF

When the Canadian flag has been lowered, the Guard shoulders arms and, under theGuard Commander's orders, all sub-units march off and are dismissed off the parade ground.

PILING DRUMS

Drums are traditionally piled to provide an altar for the purpose of holding churchservices in the field. Today the practice is primarily used during the presentation of coloursceremony.

PROCEDURE:

The procedure for piling drums is as follows:

a. the old Colours have been marched off parade, the battalion will form a hollowsquare;

b. the Commanding Officer will order the Drum Major to "Pile Drums";

c. the Drum Major will march the drummers forward in single file to the centre ofthe hollow square;

d. they will march into a circle, halt, and turn inward;

e. on the word of command from the Drum Major each drummer will step forwardand individually place his or her drum into position;

f. the pile will consist of four snare drums in a circle with the emblazoning the rightway up, facing outward. The bass drum is placed upon the snare drums, andthe tenor drum placed on top of the bass drum;

g. the Drum Major will then march the drummers back and rejoin the band;h. at the conclusion of the ceremony the Drum Major will march the drummers

back to the pile and form a circle around it;

i. each drummer will recover his or her own drum individually, making sure thatthey have been properly secured onto their slings; and

j. the drummers are then marched back by the Drum Major and rejoin the band.

The procedure is identical for both the Church Parade and the Presentation of Colours Parade.

TATTOO

The word "Tattoo" is said to be derived from the Dutch "die den tap toe" which istranslated as "turn off the taps". It probably originated from the campaigns in Holland in thelate 17th and early 18th centuries. This ceremony is associated with the practice of a drummerbeing detached to beat an order to the tavern and innkeepers to stop serving ale. This wasalso the order for the soldiers to stop drinking and parade for a final muster before returning totheir quarters.

The "Tattoo" ceremony took place after sunset and was inextricably linked with thesounding of the First and Last Post, filling the period between these two calls. A duty of theOrderly Officer was to inspect the sentries at their posts, ensuring that they were alert andfamiliar with their duties. The officer was accompanied on his rounds by a drummer who,when they reached the first sentry, would beat a call to indicate that they were about to starttheir rounds. On reaching the last sentry post, the drummer would again beat a call to advisethat the inspection was complete. While this was taking place it became the custom for theband to beat "Tattoo" up and down the main street.

DRESS AND PROCEDURES:

Today a "Tattoo" has come to mean a military pageant, but there may be occasionswhen it would be appropriate for a band to perform the traditional ceremony. Although theceremony is Army in origin, an Air Cadet Squadron may also perform the ceremony.Traditionally, the ceremony was performed in Cadet C1 dress. In its present form, it is onlyperformed on special occasions.

The ceremony is performed by carrying out the following steps:

a. the band will form up in normal marching formation;

b. on the command of the Drum Major, the band will march onto the parade squareplaying a quick march;

c. the band will halt in front of the reviewing stand, and the trumpeters will sound"First Post";

d. at the conclusion of the First Post the Drum Major will give the command"Troop!", all side drummers will give three loud beats in quick successionfollowed by one beat of the bass drum;

e. the band will then play the F Major chord. As in the retreat ceremony, this chordshould last 12 beats in quick time. Starting quietly it rises to a crescendo andfalls away to nothing on the twelfth beat;

f. the band will now step off in quick time and play three or four marches.Traditional regimental music is normally chosen. The band shouldcountermarch back and forth across the parade square;

DRESS AND PROCEDURE - Continued

g. the band will halt and play a suitable hymn such as "Abide with me";

h. the National Anthem, "O'Canada" is then played, followed by the trumpeterssounding the "Last Post";

i. the Drum Major will then request permission to march off the band from thesenior officer present; and

j. they will leave the parade square to their Regimental or Elemental March.

THE FLY PAST

The Fly Past is a form of salute used by the Air Force. A Fly Past is often arranged inconjunction with a ceremony of significant importance. In the event of a high ranking officer ordignitaries passing, a Fly Past using the missing man formation will be used. This signifies theloss of a member. Other formations using various numbers of aircraft may be used as deemedapplicable or simply based on what aircraft are available

Air Cadet March Book History of the Royal Canadian Air Force

The Royal Canadian Air Force saw it's beginnings in October of 1914 when a singleBurgess-Dunne biplane was purchased from the United States. This and two officers formedthe basis for the Canadian Aviation Corps. Although the aircraft and the officers were sent toEngland with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, the plane sat unused on Salisbury Plain,deteriorating until is was finally scraped. Men rather than machines were to be the maincontribution by Canada to the first war in the air. In September 1915, a Curtiss School ofaviation was established at Long Branch, Ontario. It was either here or at schools in theUnited States, that most young hopefuls went.

Although the Canadian aviators mostly served in either the Royal Naval Air Service orthe Royal Flying Corps, there were some of noteable skill. The first Canadian aerial victorywas December 14, 1915 when Flight Sub Lt Arthur Strachan Ince shot down a Germanseaplane off the coast of Belgium. The first Canadian "ace" was Fit Lt Edward R. Grange andone of the most noteable Canadian "aces" was Maj W. A. 'Billy' Bishop VC, DSO, MC, DFC.Maj Bishop was the official British Empire top-scoring scout pilot of World War I with a total of72 victories.

The Royal Canadian Air Force was formed in England in 1918 with two squadrons.Former 81 squadron, renamed as 1 Squadron, Canadian Air Force, was forrned at UpperHeyford, Oxfordshire with allCanadian personnel. It was followed by 123 Squadron, renamedas 2 Squadron, Canadian Air Force. The war ended before either squadron would see anyaction. The Canadian Air Force was disbanded in late January 1920 but re-established inFebruary in Canada to provide refresher training for veterans.

In the years following World War I, the role of the Royal Canadian Air Force wasprimarily training. When the new Air Force was formed in February 1920, it consisted of 1340officers and 3905 airmen. This was to be on a non-permanent basis with all members beingpart-time auxiliaries. Camp Borden was selected as the main training centre as the facilitiesremained virtually intact after the war.

1938 proved to be a year of expansion and independence. With an enormous uplift inthe budget of $11.25 million and following the Munich Crisis later that year it was pushed up to$30 million. On 19 November 1938, the Air Force became independent and responsibledirectly to the Minister of National Defense. An Air Council was formed with Air Vice-MarshalG.M. Croil as the first Chief of Air Staff. When Germany invaded Poland on 1 September1939, the Royal Canadian Air Force had grown considerably to reach a size of 20 squadronsand a personnel strength of 4061 officers and men. It was evident though, that the equipmentscarcely matched the new 'paper' strength with only 270 aircraft on hand. Eady in 1939, theAir Force was busy recruiting men, training aircrew and flying a few new service aircraft andscores of obsolete airplanes. It was good news to the Air Force when is was announced inFebruary that ten Hawker Hurricane fighters had arrived in Vancouver, BC by sea. Thestrength both in aircraft and in personnel would grow considerably through World War I1. Newaircraft were constantly being added and new squadrons formed to meet the increaseddemands on the Air Force.

Royal Canadian Air Cadets

How does Air Cadets fit into the big picture? The Air Cadet League was formed in1941 to provide a training program for young men nearing the age at which they could join theAir Force. The idea was to create a pool of pretrained airmen, ready to become pilots andfight in the war. In 1943, the Air Cadet Leaque became a component of the Royal CanadianAir Force and reached a peak of 29,000 cadets by 1944.

Today the Royal Canadian Air Cadets sees approximately 30,000 teenagers at morethan 450 Squadrons across the country. With the emphasis now put on citizenship, selfdiscipline and an interest in aviation, Air Cadets produces young leaders who often go on to beleaders in communities or business. The skills developed in cadets are valuable both in amilitary career and in a civilian career.

Royal Canadian Air Cadets is supported by the Department of National Defence andthe Air Cadet League of Canada. Both work together to offer support and develop policiesand procedures to assist the Air Cadet Squadrons in their operations. At a local level, eachSquadron is also supported by a Sponsor who will provide monetary support for activities notsupported by DND. In a time of budget cut-backs and fiscal restraint, it is becoming more andmore important for activities to be supported at the local level.

Although the goals and focus of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets may change from timeto time, one thing remains constant. The mystery and awe young people feel about aviationand the freedom of flight will always remain the same. It is often thought that the reason AirCadets draws more youth than Sea or Army cadets is the wonders of flying. Not every AirCadet will become a pilot but most will enjoy the chance to fly in the wild blue yonder.

Air Cadet March Book A-25 Song

A-25 Song

Form "A-25" was the accident report form that had to filled out after each time anaccident occured. Because of the nature of aviation, the accident rate was quite high. Out of101 aircraft written off, 39 were lost in battle and the remainder in deck landings and otheraccidents. The A-25 form was so lengthy and detailed that some suggest death by drowningwas less of a burden and more desirable. By custom, the report had to begin with the words "1have the honour to report...", which seemed inappropriate when followed by something like"...that I missed the arrestor wires and crashed into three parked aircraft..."

Air Cadet March Book Chapter 6

f A-25 SongThey say in the Air Force a landing's OK,If the pilot gets out and can still walk away.But in the Fleet Air Arm the prospects are grimIf the landing's so poor and the pilot can't swim.

Cracking show, rm alive,But I've still got to render my A-25!

They gave me a Seafire to beat up the fleet,I beat up the Nelson and Rodney a treat,But forgot the high mast that sticks out from Forrnid.And a seat in the Goofers was worth fifty quid.

Cracking show, I'm alive,But I've still got to render my A-25!

I thought I was coming in low enough butI was twenty feet up when the batsman gave cut!And loud in my earholes the sweet angels sang,'Float...float...float...float...float...float barrier- Prang!'


When the batsman made 'lower' I always went higher,Bounced on the deck and missed the last wire,A bloody great barrier loomed up in front,And Wings shouted 'Switch off your engine, you twit!'

A Band of Banshee Airmen

The Somersetshire was "the queen of all RAF Troopships". The ship was not anairforce or RN vessel but was a civilian liner owned by the Bibby Line of Liverpool. TheSomersetshire was used to transport personnel between England and the Middle East in thedays between the First World War and the Second World War. The song was created in Iraqin the 1920's based on the naval song "The Tiddley Ship", which cam to the Royal Air Forceduring the time when many air force instructors cam the Fleet Air Arm.

f -,,1. A band of banshee airmen, way out in the sunny Sudan,

Where all the erks are banshee, and so's the lazy Old Man.There's bags and bags of NCO's saluting on the square,And when we're not saluting, we're up in the blooming air.

2. O Shire, Shire, Somersetshire,The skipper looks on her with pride.He'd have a big huff, if he e'er saw the stuffOn the side of the Somersetshire.

3. This is my story, this is my song,We've been in this Air Force too blooming long;So roll on the Nelson, the Rodney, Renown,We can't sink the Hood, she's already gone down

* Old Man is the Commanding Officer,* banshee means wild or crazy,* Nelson, Rodney and Renown were all battlecruisers of the Royal Navy,* Hood was the most prestigious battleship in the Royal Navy, sunk by the

German battleship the Bismark in 1941.

"The Battle of Britain" was considered the turning point of WWlI. Germany h_laidplans to invade and conquer Great Britain, thus securing the western flank of the GermanEmpire. What Germany had underestimated was the ability of Britain's air power to defendand drive off the attacks from the German air force, the Luftwaffe. Germany failed to conquerGreat Britain because of the inability of the Luftwaffe to find a strategy for attack and stick withit as well as the poor intelligence information which grossly over estimated Britain's loss inaircraft and personnel. What started as a plan to conquer Great Britain and thus Germany'scontrol of Europe ended in what is thought to be the beginning of the end for Germany.

Immediately after Britain's retreat from Dunkirk and the occupation of France in May1940, Germany started laying plans to invade Great Britain. The first phase of the operationwas to lure Britain's Air Force out for battle where the Luftwaffe intended to destroy andeliminate any significant air defence of Great Britain. The second phase of the plan was tocross the English Channel and invade Britain with as many as 250,000 German soldiers in anoperation named "Operation Sea Liod'. It was a grand plan but operation Sea Lion nevercame to be.

Although the Luftwaffe had managed to gage numerous air strikes against GreatBritain, it never managed to inflict the widespread damage they had planned. The strategykept changing, never allowing the Luftwaffe to concentrate on a single goal. The hostilitiesbegan on July 10, 1040 when Commander in Chief of the Luftwaffe, Hermann Goering initiatedand strike against British shipping in the English Channel by attacking a convoy of ships. No11 Group quickly responded with a mixture of Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft. The British lostthree aircraft and the Luftwaffe lost four. Over the next three months, the Luftwaffe gagedmany airstrikes on both military and civilian targets. Both sides saw heavy losses but theLuftwaffe continued to see higher losses than Britain.

The bombing of London began on the eve of August 24, 1940 when a group.of tenLuftwaffe bombers, mistakenly bombed London instead of an oil storage site at Thameshaven.Thinking this was a direct strike on a civilian site, Britain retaliated with bombing stdkes againstBedin. On September 7th, Germany began the intended bombing of the city of London. Thistime it was not a navigational error. The bombing raids continued on London and the numberof casualties continued to dse. The battle came to a climax on September 15, 1940 whenGermany launched what would be their final bombing raid on London. Britain's Air Forceresponded quickly and the raiders were attacked from the moment they hit the English coastand the clashes continued all day. At the end of the battle, the figures showed the Luftwaffehad lost 56 aircraft and the RAF had lost 26. Several more Luftwaffe bombers limped back tobase with dead crew members, engines ablaze or undercarriages shot away. At least 20Me-109's had come down in the water having run out of fuel. September 15th was marked asBattle of Britain Day as this is the day declared as the end of the Battle of Britain. PrimeMinister Winston Churchill described the day as "the most brilliant and fruitful of any foughtupon a large scale up to that date by the fighters of the Royal Air Service. On September 17,1940, Hitler decided to postpone Operation Sea Lion indefinitely.

In the years to follow, September 15 is commemorated as "Battle of Bdtain Day" and istraditionally honoured in "Battle of Britain" parades across the country. Similar in context to"Battle of the Atlantic" and Remembrance Day ceremonies, it is a day when the lives anddeaths of the men and women who sacrificed so much in the name of freedom for our country,are remembered and celebrated. "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed byso many to so few.".

Air Cadet March Book The Bells of Blazes

The Bolls of Blazes

Many songs have been written about the nearness of death, but most pay more_attention to being alive. Because of the nature of aviation, flying or service related to aircraftwas considered the most dangerous and terrifying. An engine dying in mid air could be thecause of death rather than in an air to air combat situation which would be considered acourageous and dignified way to die. Air warfare creates a tremendous psychological strain onthe pilots with short trips through the night sky exploding with flak. _i:_

f \

1. The bells of blazes go ting-a-ling-a-lingFor you but not for me.And the little devils how they sing-a-ling-a-lingFor you but not for me.

2. O, Death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling?O, Grave, thy victory?The bells of hell go ting-a-ling-a-lingFor you but not for me.

Air Cadet March Book Bless 'em All

Bless 'em All was first introduced in England around 1916 by Fred Godfrey. The"soldiers" version was seldom heard in civilized areas and Jimmy Hughes introduced the"decent" version in 1940. There had never really been a set of appropriate words with thistune until then. This version of Bless em' All could be openly sung in loud voices with littlechance of reprisal. The music was composed by Frank Lake. Although this song is regardedas a Wodd War II song, it's earliest associations are with the Royal Naval Air Service. In someversions, it became the unofficial Royal Air Force song in the years between the wars.

Bless 'em All

They say there's a troopship just leaving BombayBound for old Blighty's shore,Heavily laden with time expired menBound for the land they adore.There's many an airman just finished his timeAnd many a twerp signing on.They'll get no promotion this side of the ocean,So cheer up my lads, Bless 'em all.

ChorusBless'em all!Bless'em all!The long and theshortand thetall.Blessallthe sergeantsand WO Ones,Blessallthe corp'ralsand theirblessedsons.Forwe'resayinggood bye tothem all,As back totheirbarrackstheycrawl.We'llget no promotion,thissideofthe ocean,So cheer up my lads,bless'em all!

Bless 'em All - Lancasters

A Lancaster was a heavy bomber flown by the allied forces in World War I1. Capable ofcarrying bomb loads up to 18,000 pounds and a crew of seven it had a range of 2,530 miles.Many Lancasters were manufactured in Canada and a great deal were flown by Canadians.The following chorus, from the Airman's Song Book, are a Coastal Command version.

fBless 'era A# - Lancasters

A Lancaster leaving the RuhrBound for old Blighty shore,Heavily laden with flak frightened crew,Scared Stiff and prone on the floor.There's many a bomber long finished his tour,There's many a plonk signing on,We'll get no promotion this side of the ocean,So, cheer up, my lads, bless 'era all.

Bless 'em All - Wellingtons

Wellingtons were two engine bombers nicknamed Wimpey for the character J.Wellington Wimpy in the cartoon Popeye the Sailor. Both the aircraft and 'Wimpey' werethought to be fat, lazy, messy and in the case of 'Wimpey', devoted to eating great quantitiesof hamburgers. The Wellington was capable of carrying a bomb load of 4,500 pounds andreaching speeds of 234 mph.

Bless 'em All- Wellingtons

Worry me, worry me,Wellingtons don't worry me.Oil-chewing Wimpey's with flaps on their wings,Buggered up pistons, and buggered up rings,The bomb load is so blessed small,Four-fifths of five-eighths is not muchThere'll be such a commotion when o'er the ocean,So cheer up my lads, bless 'em all.

This song has been identified as the oldest airman's song, predating the formation ofthe Royal Flying Corps in 1916. The tune is "The Tarpaulin Jacket", a song from the CrimeanWar period. Although more versus were written, they simply extend and lengthen the list ofpieces of a man that can be made into an airplane to the point where it becomes ridiculous

/

The Bold A viatorOh, the bold aviator was dyingAnd as 'neath the wreckage he lay, he layTo the sobbing mechanics about himThese last parting words he did say:

"Take the cylinders out of my kidneysThe connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,From the small of my back get the crankshaftAnd assemble the engine again."

Air Cadet March Book Cavalry of the Clouds

Cavalry of the Clouds has been adopted as the marchpast for the Canadian ArmedForces Special Service Force. The Special Service Force was formed in 1977 as animmediate response force capable of responding to disasters or emergencies in a national orinternational situation. The first Special Service Force, which was known as the "DevilsBrigade" was created in World War 2 for special operations. This American-Canadian forcecame a legend in its time and was depicted in a movie by the same name starring WilliamHolden and Cliff Robertson.

The quick march "Cavalry of the Clouds" was composed by Kenneth J. Alford whowrote such famous marches as "The Standard of St. George", "Army of the Nile", "On theQuarter Deck" and "The Great Little Army" to name a few. Born in London in 1881, Alfordretired as a Major in the British Army in 1944 and died in May 1945. Kenneth J. Alford isrevered as one of the most talented march composers with the likes of John Philip Souse ofthe United States. Both were known to write stirring, patriotic marches that have become"classics" of their kind. Many of Alford's marches were written to mark special events andplaces.

Air Cadet March Book Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer

Coming in on a Wingand a Prayer

Written in 1943, some people might suggest this song should not have been printed.Referring to a serious subject, it might have been in poor taste to make such references ascoming in on one engine after returning from a bombing raid. Composer Jimmy McHugh alsowrote such famous and well composed songs as "On the Sunny Side of the Street" and 'Tm inthe Mood for Love"

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer,Comin' in on a wing and a prayer,Though there is one motor gone, We can still carry on,Comin' in on a wing and a prayer.

What a show, what a fight,Yes we really hit our target for tonight,How we sing as we limp through the air,Look below, there's our field over there

With a full crew a board and our trust in the Lord,We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer.
