SUMMARY:Military Lecture - The Great Sickness of 1740: War\, Typhus\, and the Royal Navy
DESCRIPTION:The Capture of Puerto Bello\, 21 November 1739 by George Chambers\, Senior\, 1836\, National Maritime Museum\, Greenwich BHC0355 \n  \nPaul Mansell presents\, The Great Sickness of 1740: War\, Typhus\, and the Royal Navy. \nIn 1739\, after two and a half decades of relative peace\, Spain and Britain entered into the War of Jenkins’ Ear (1739-48). This war became subsumed into the War of Austrian Succession 1740-48) and has not received a lot of attention from historians. The Royal Navy had been actively recruiting seaman since the spring of 1739 and hostilities broke out in the summer. The navy found it had an unexplained shortage of active personnel despite doubling the number of seamen. Ships were not ready\, military operations were delayed\, and Walpole’s government demanded answers for the disarray. What stymied the navy was an alarming number of ill seamen and the cases mounted all through 1740. Sick quarters in several parts of Britain were completely overwhelmed by virulent epidemic typhus known as the “Great Sickness.” \nTyphus was an unsolvable problem for 18th century medicine\, being a contagion that caused record levels of mortality without any hope of a cure. The epidemic is largely forgotten now\, but by the end of 1742 it became the worst typhus epidemic of the century after it spread from the naval towns to the rest of Britain. The navy’s response to the outbreak is instructive because it demonstrates both the pitfalls of not responding adequately at the outset of a crisis and the successes of coordinated and targeted measures of prevention that remain effective today. The episode provides an example of how an organization under extreme stress managed to remain functional despite devastating numbers of incapacitated personnel. \nOffered in partnership with the Laurier Centre for Military\, Strategic and Disarmament Studies. \n\nDid you miss the live event? Watch Military Lecture: The Great Sickness of 1740 below: \n \n  \n\nAbout Paul Mansell:\n \nPaul Mansell studies military\, medical\, and early modern European history at Wilfrid Laurier University. His PhD dissertation examines the reactions of medical authorities and the Royal Navy to the worst British typhus epidemic of the 18th century. His interests also include the history of technology\, building upon his background in electro-mechanical engineering\, aerospace\, and military aircraft.

SUMMARY:Rapid Response: Collecting Experiences as they are Lived
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is a major moment in history. On March 11\, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. On March 17\, Ontario declared a state of emergency\, prompting citywide closures and social distancing protocols. In April 2020\, the Museum\, while closed to visitors\, launched a call to community for contemporary objects and personal expressions reflecting our individual and collective experiences. \nOn May 25\, 2020\, the death of George Floyd in the US spurred the Black Lives Matter movement to international urgency. Locally\, the Guelph Black Heritage Society organized a peaceful protest and march through downtown Guelph. On June 6\, 2020\, over 5\,000 people gathered to raise awareness of lives lost in violence. \nGuelph Museums and the Guelph Black Heritage Society partnered in the commitment to preserve the stories and experiences of Guelph individuals\, families\, and communities as we face these crises together. \nThis exhibition shares some of the hundreds of images\, creative expressions\, and physical objects that have been collected at Guelph Museums since April 2020 to document the local story of this historic time\, as we live it. \n\n\nThis artwork by Emily Vander Vlugt depicts a crowd of protestors led by Kween\, Executive Director of the Guelph Black Heritage Society. Kween made this audio recording in response to Emily’s artwork.\nThe art work and audio\, jointly titled No Justice\, No Peace\, are featured in the exhibition Rapid Response: Collecting Experiences as they are Lived at Guelph Museums\, from July 27\, 2021 to February 27\, 2022.\n\nHear a conversation with donors to the exhibition: \n\nPresented in partnership with:

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Complicated Justice - A Canadian Response to War Crimes and War Criminals
DESCRIPTION:Using the Canadian trials at the end of the Second World War as evidence\, guest lecturer Katelyn Arac discusses the challenging nature of post-war proceedings. Military courts had the potential to unify Canadians in the search for war criminals. Instead\, they provided evidence of a divided nation not yet sure how to demobilize after a world war. \nFor Canada\, the issue of how to respond to war criminals – whether that was the post-war military trials conducted based on crimes committed against Canadian servicemen or alleged war criminals that had fled justice to settle in Canada after the war – is a divisive subject. Politically\, judicially\, and publicly there was contention over what justice looked like. This talk will discuss these contentions and contextualize why this discord exists\, as well as ground these issues in the present day. \n\nDid you miss the live event? Watch Military Lecture: Complicated Justice below: \n \n\nAbout Katelyn Arac:\n \nKATELYN ARAC is a PhD candidate at Queen’s University and her research interests include Canadian political\, legal\, and social history in the 20th century. Supervised by Dr. Barrington Walker\, her research focuses on the immigration of war criminals into the country after the Second World War and how reactions to their entry have shaped the national project. The debate incited by the entry of war criminals into the country challenged the notion of Canadian identity and sparked debate between various ethnic communities. Concepts of multiculturalism and national identity were crucial concepts that the Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals was forced to address. \nOffered in partnership with the Laurier Centre for Military\, Strategic and Disarmament Studies.

SUMMARY:Between the Crosses\, Row on Row: 100 Years of the Remembrance Poppy
DESCRIPTION:During the First World War\, the horrors of trench warfare\, poison gas and tanks wrought carnage never before seen. About 9 million military personnel and 20 million civilians lost their lives in The Great War. \nThe devastation of war created fertile ground for the Papaver rhoeas to take seed and grow. Poppy seeds can remain dormant in the soil for as long as 100 years. Trench digging\, bombs\, and mass cemeteries caused millions of poppies to bloom in the disrupted soil across Europe. The common poppy would become the symbol of wartime sacrifice and remembrance. \nBeginning with Guelph-born Lt. Col. John McCrae’s 1915 poem “In Flanders Fields”\, this exhibition tells the story of the poppy as it evolved to be an enduring symbol of remembrance in Canada and around the world. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				The Poppy\, Decoration Day 1921\, Canadian War Museum 19720228-001\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Cover of Guelph Horticultural Society Annual\, Flowering Shrub\, Hedge and Vine Issue\, 1972\nGuelph Museums 1987.44.14\n				\n		\n\nBanner Image: https://www.discoveringbelgium.com/the-poppies-of-flanders/\n
