	Canadian Boer War Museum
		The condescension of many upper class British officers towards colonials - which Canadians frequently complained of too - was so bad that the Australians mutinied and several of their ringleaders were sentenced to death, though a howl of protest from Australia, resulted in the sentences being commuted.
		During World War 1 the generals - many were Boer War veterans - stayed well to the rear of the fighting, sending orders to the front lines by telephone, something which Lord Kitchener, who succeeded Lord Roberts as commander-in-chief, pioneered during the last months of the war.
		Unlike the generals in the Boer War, who led from the front, World War I generals considered it much too dangerous to be in the front lines of a modern war where the fighting men died by the thousands in only a few minutes.

		The Canadian War Museum is located in downtown Ottawa, overlooking the pastoral banks of the Ottawa River and rising slowly towards the east to engage the urban cityscape.
		The materials for the museum were kept sparse and simple: mainly concrete, steel and copper.
		The intent was to preserve as much of the museum as possible as free public space, and to use the building as a means of traversing the pastoral site.

	Background CWM and Friends Organization
		In 1942 the Canadian War Museum was created with the opening of the War Trophies Building close to the Public Archives on Sussex Drive, and in 1967 the museum took over the Public Archives Building (built in 1904 and extended in 1924), where it remains to this day.
		After visiting military museums and historic sites across the country and holding round table meetings from coast to coast and distributing the inevitable questionnaire, the report of the Task Force was submitted seven months later to the three government ministers with responsibilities for military museums: Communications, Defence, and Veterans Affairs.

		A Canadian War Museum had been created in 1942 but was under-funded and housed in unsatisfactory premises in Ottawa, with the collections split between a main exhibition building on Sussex Street and a former street car repair depot in a west end industrial area.
		The Friends was thus organized by concerned citizens to raise funds to assist the Museum and to focus the government's attention on correcting the unsatisfactory situation.
		With this major goal achieved, the FCWM's role in supporting the War Museum is not over: it will continue to raise funds to help preserve and enhance the Museum's collections, to organize special events, to provide volunteers to help in many capacities in the Museum, and to encourage research into Canadian military history.

		The Canadians who captured Vimy Ridge in April 1917 were proud of their nickname, the Byng Boys, but by June of that year Sir Julian Byng had moved on to take command of the 3rd British Army while Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie assumed command of the Canadian Corps.

	Canadian Anglo Boer War Museum
		In 1999, the Canadian Anglo-Boer War Museum was created in parallel to a television documentary program to commemorate and publicize a forgotten part of Canada's history, the three year long South African War that convulsed Canadians at the turn of the 20th century.
		The Canadian Anglo-Boer War Museum offered a complete showcase of this stressful transformation, by publicizing the deeds, the people and places, the triumphs and tragedies, that were on every tongue throughout the British Empire, from 1899 to 1902, and for many years afterwards.
		In 1999, the web sites of so many other museums were not "educational" in intent; most were overwhelmingly "promotional," and designed to get you to visit the bricks and glass buildings that housed their collections.
