‘For All That Was Good, Noble and True’: A Middle Class Martial Icon of Canadian Patriotism and British Imperialism. John Lovell Dashwood, Canada and the Great War
|
| Abstract |
The British-born John Lovell Dashwood (1891-1917) immigrated to Canada in 1914 to teach at McGill University’s Macdonald College. The author argues that he embodied the ideals of developing athleticism and moral character through the games ethic so prevalent in Victorian and Edwardian schools for the upper middle classes. His enlistment and brief military career and his death in the Battle of Vimy Ridge reflected the warrior qualities of courage, endurance, strength, skill and honour. According to the author, Dashwood was an iconic figure who helped to strengthen Canada’s sense of national identity.
