Talk:Terrace mutiny

Comments
I saw this article on DYK and was interested as I had not previously known of this incident. To be complete, the article could use an "aftermath" section - were the leaders of the mutiny court-martialed, or just sent back to the ranks. Did the division in fact wind up overseas? Thanks.

Consequences of the Terrace Mutiny
I agree with Newyorkbrad regarding increasing this article's interest and impact by including a Consequences section. However, it would also make the article more relevant to have it extend to a coverage of the contemporary impact on the local civilians and then bring it forward to any current, carry-over results - i.e.: is there still a town there, is there still a military presence there, are there any civil or military policies in place that can be traced to the event?

 * There is still a town there (the article on Terrace, British Columbia is linked in this article). As for the aftermath, much of what you are asking about can be found in the Daniel German article that is one of the sources of the article. I also seem to recall that Mackenzie King's diary (which is available in archives or large libraries) has entries on this event. The event was pretty well buried at the time, so it is not a well known incident. At the time, Terrace was very remote, and communication and transportation certainly aren't what they are today, which made covering it up all that easier. Things may have changed, but I know a very long time ago the UBC library had very little material on the subject. Agent 86 17:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

This article should include more information on the background of the mutineers. Were they Quebecois, or just French Canadians from outside Quebec? In the Canadian context this can be an important distinction. Also, who are the Prince Albert Volunteers that are mentioned in the article? Presumably they are not the same as the 1885 Northwest Rebellion article that is linked to here. If they are, I have no knowledge that the unit survived that conflict and would like to see the source for this claim. If it is a seperate unit from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan organized for World War 2 service could someone please make this clear? (also please do not delete these questions again whoever did so) - Wyldkat June 24, 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.47.240.109 (talk) 02:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
