First, Shoot All the Officers

Dr. Bill Stewart

Our October 9, 2024 speaker was Dr. Bill Stewart with his talk entitled “First, Shoot All the Officers.” Dr. Stewart brings an analytical eye to examine the success and failure of senior Canadian Army officers in the First World War. Unfortunately, not all officers are successful in war, some cannot adapt to the physical demands and the mental stress. Some cannot adapt to a new way of fighting and in the First World War that new way was Trench Warfare, requiring new tactics, new weapons, and new techniques.
