Crerar accepted a voluntary reduction in rank in order to head the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division when it left for Britain in November 1940 but upon arrival he was transferred to staff position.
Crerar was evacuated to England for treatment of an illness and General Simonds assumed command of the operation.
Crerar returned to the front a short time later but left Simonds in command as the later’s controversial plan for wresting control of Walchern Island from the Germans was proving a success.
