Harry Crerar (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator(s): Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:25, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about Harry Crerar, Canada's most senior field commander in the Second World War, who commanded the First Canadian Army in the campaign in North West Europe in 1944–1945. I prepared this article as part of a series on the senior commanders in the campaign, but never got around to them all. Crerar is not a household name even in Canada, but Canada is in the news a lot lately. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:25, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by comment -- I notice the Knight of Saint John isn't showing up in the post-noms in the first sentence, leaving an odd-looking double comma; obviously the post-nom template could be altered to include this but can we confirm that it is a recognised post-nom in Canada (since I don't think it is everywhere)?

Since 1990, the Order of St John is a recognised order in Canada, but the post-nominals are not used. [2] I believe that they were used in the past eg. [3] Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:44, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
