		<description><![CDATA[When we think of war we usually think of men—and now women as well—fighting battles on land and sea and in the air. All too often we forget that for these combatants to fight millions of people are required to work behind the front line to provide them with supplies of food, clothing and weaponry and to fill positions the combatants occupied before joining the armed forces. In Canada, during the Second World War, this vital role was filled by hundreds of thousands of women on the home front—in the armed forces, the volunteer sector,  war industries, the civilian labour force and agriculture. <a href="http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2012/05/womens-work/">Continue Reading...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the defeat at Crysler’s Farm in the fall of 1813, Major-General James Wilkinson led about 1,200 American troops in a winter attack against Lacolle Mill, roughly 70 kilometres south of Montreal. About 200 British regulars took refuge in a wooden blockhouse while two flanks of riflemen with two cannon lay siege for several hours without much success. Rather than launch an all-out assault, Wilkinson retreated, only to have the much smaller Canadian force rally and give chase. <a href="http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2012/05/battlefields-then-and-now-e2-80-93-the-war-of-1812-2/">Continue Reading...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Legionnaires are just weeks away from converging on Halifax for the 44th dominion convention, June 10-13. As always, the national gathering will be a blend of poign-ant ceremony, joyful camaraderie and serious business. More than 1,450 delegates, guests and observers are expected to attend, and by early Monday morning (June 11)—following Sunday’s parade and opening ceremony—the delegates will get down to business in the spacious Halifax Metro Centre. Before them will be 86 resolutions and 18 reports to consider—everything from issues pertaining to the organization’s membership and finances to remembrance, veterans services and the Canadian Forces. The business side of convention is also expected to include some two dozen speeches and presentations. <a href="http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2012/05/getting-down-to-business/">Continue Reading...</a>]]></description>

The Battle of Longwoods was one of many fairly significant battles during the War of 1812—a force of British regulars, Canadian militia volunteers and native warriors was defeated by the Americans just south of London, Ont. Now, during the bicentennial celebrations of the war, go watch as the Upper Thames Military Re-enactment Society recreates the musket- cracking, cannon-roaring clash. <a href="http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2012/05/travelling-about-may-june-2012/">Continue Reading...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With this issue we begin a new series commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812, which lasted from the American declaration of war on Great Britain in June 1812 to the ratification of the Treaty of Ghent in February 1815.

Each article in our Then &#038; Now Journal consists of two parts. The “Then” portion describes events of the war in the same two-month time frame as 200 years ago. The “Now” portion highlights existing memorials, museums, battlefields, fortifications, and other sites as well as various commemorative events and artifacts. Space does not permit us to list every event, and so we encourage you to investigate what may be happening in your area or any event that may be of interest.    <a href="http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2012/05/1812-journal-80-93-then-now/">Continue Reading...</a>]]></description>
