The Great War

Historians have long debated the cultural consequences of the Great War. What role did its memory play in interwar unbelief? One major school of thought, centred around Paul Fussell’s classic The Great War and Modern Memory, sees the war as unleashing the disenchantment of the modern age. Traumatized by the vast machine of industrialized warfare, most veterans returned home deeply skeptical of authority figures and official narratives. Fussell does not address religion in any detail, but the implications of his argument are clear: the chaos of war exposed a world devoid of divine meaning.

The historian Jonathan Vance takes issue with Fussell’s interpretation in Death So Noble, his examination of Canada’s memory of the Great War. Pointing out that Fussell rests his argument mainly on the work of elite writers and thinkers, Vance turns instead to newspapers, war memorials, lesser novels, and patriotic memoirs, and finds that many (perhaps most) ordinary Canadians could not accept a cynical, modernist critique. To say that the war had been futile and meaningless was to disparage the sacrifices made by veterans and their families, and this was intolerable. Thus, Vance argues, Canadians constructed a myth to justify the war, whereby noble soldiers fighting to defend Christianity and civilization had laid down their lives in willing sacrifice, like Christ himself.

When it comes to the question of religious doubt, the two positions are not as far apart as they might appear. Vance acknowledges that many Canadian soldiers came to view “the entire edifice of organized religion more sceptically after four years of war.” While some veterans may have found the language of soldier-as-Christ deeply satisfying, this view did not necessarily entail respect for organized churches or reverence for a providential God. The stress and horror of war also led many men to discard the norms of Christian propriety in everyday life. Vance notes too that, upon returning to Canada, a significant proportion of Methodist chaplains and probationers cut their ties to the church. Duff Crerar’s study of Canadian chaplains in the Great War, Padres in No Man’s Land, confirms a similar pattern for seminary students of all denominations who served overseas. He mentions as an example the fact that most of the students from Queen’s Theological College who enlisted chose not to return to their studies after the war. The Methodist leader S.D. Chown said:

In many minds the war shook with the violence of a moral and intellectual earthquake the foundations of Christian faith. It shattered many structures of belief in which devout people found refuge from the storms of life.

Crerar surveyed other scholars’ research on the British and Australian armies and found that only a small minority of enlisted men, perhaps as few as 10 per cent, were strongly devout Christians. A great many more, perhaps even a majority, were hostile to religion and to the chaplains, while the remainder were lukewarm or ambivalent in their feelings. From his own research, Crerar estimates similar proportions among Canadians: a small contingent of faithful Christians, a large number of “sceptics and cynics,” and a third group, the largest, which was “uncommitted and disillusioned but not entirely irreligious.” Crerar mentions the memoir of Thomas Dinesen, an unbelieving Dane who enlisted to fight alongside the Canadians. Dinesen found that many of the soldiers with whom he spoke were skeptical of organized religion but also refused to accept his brand of hard-edged atheism.

Army chaplains were aware of this widespread dearth of religious sentiment. The historian David Marshall summarizes the findings of a Baptist chaplain who interviewed a number of soldiers on their return to Canada:

Few of the soldiers expressed belief in any particular creed, and they did not express their religious beliefs in biblical language. Moreover, many claimed to hold no religion.

The chaplain attempted to put a positive spin on the situation by claiming that the soldiers nevertheless displayed Christian character through their actions. A fellow Baptist took issue with this interpretation, arguing that the chaplain was moving the goal posts. The men in question were “unbelievers,” not Christians in disguise. Apathy and sheer ignorance were also problems the churches encountered among soldiers. Presbyterian chaplains who were surveyed near war’s end complained that the men exhibited “an amazing ignorance of the Bible” and the Christian creeds. These clergymen had to confront the fact that, even before the war, many Canadian men had had only a vague and shallow relationship with the churches.

Crerar expresses the view that novels and memoirs of the interwar period overstate how cynical and disillusioned soldiers were about religion. He suggests, rather, that it was in the 1920s and ’30s, as Canadian veterans grappled with a harsh economic situation and a difficult transition back to civilian life, that their mood soured. They could not help but notice that the Kingdom of God on Earth preached by optimistic chaplains had failed to materialize, and they began to wonder if their sacrifices had really been worthwhile. Crerar suggests that during the war itself soldiers were somewhat more idealistic than they later recalled being.

It is true that there is little evidence of unbelief arising directly from the war years. Expressions of atheistic angst in letters, for example, would neither have encouraged family members at home nor made it past the censors. Canadians were frequently told, after all, that they were fighting a crusade for the survival of Christianity itself. For the purposes of this study, however, irreverence on the part of Canadian veterans in the interwar period is worth noting. Even if they came late to their doubts, the fact that they began expressing them in the 1920s tells us something about the mood of the time.

We find such skepticism in the work of a few Canadian authors who were themselves combat veterans. Peregrine Acland had fought and been badly wounded at the Battle of the Somme. In his semi-autobiographical novel All Else Is Folly, published in 1929, the main character finds himself alone with a kindly Anglican priest who invites him to take Communion with him:

Falcon was embarrassed. He had been brought up a sound Anglican, but he had long since lost his belief in orthodox Christianity. He had, now, no religion … except a love for his fellow man. And his being here, as a soldier, was the absolute negation of that. He couldn’t, however, explain all these things to the Canon.

For Acland, war destroyed not only faith but whatever secularized ethics remained in its wake.

The canon in Acland’s novel is likely a fictionalized version of Canon Frederick George Scott, who earned a good reputation among Canadian soldiers for his tireless efforts on behalf of the enlisted men. James H. Pedley’s 1927 memoir, Only This, mentions Scott directly with great respect. But he makes it clear that in his opinion Scott was an exception when it came to chaplains. Before Pedley met him he assumed the man was simply another “highly successful fakir,” a term used contemptuously. Pedley’s feelings went beyond a general anti-clericalism, extending, as with Acland, to theology itself. Later in the book, Pedley mulls over one of the horrible injustices of war and asks:

Is there a God? … Must this kind of rough-and-ready justice be ascribed to all-seeing Deity, or to sportive chance? Who will dare to say?

Canadian veteran George Godwin’s autobiographical 1930 war novel Why Stay We Here? concludes with an affirmation of the notion of soldier-as-Christ and holds out hope for an eventual resurrection. The body of the book conveys a much more skeptical tone, however. As the main character, Stephen, and his comrade Piers wander over a battlefield where “sixty thousand Frenchmen” were killed earlier in the war, they reflect bitterly on faith. Piers concludes:

Well, personally, I’ve given up speculating about that sort of thing. I don’t know, and I don’t much care whether there’s a God or no. This place is enough evidence that He returns the compliment. If He exists at all, then He must be an impersonal God who doesn’t care a hoot about mankind.

Stephen concurs: “Exactly what I feel lately."

The best-known novel about the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) is Charles Yale Harrison’s Generals Die in Bed, first serialized in 1928 and then published in book form in 1930. Harrison served in the CEF from 1916 to 1918. Of Jewish descent, he seems to have already been an unbeliever before the war. He was born in Philadelphia and spent much of his life in the United States, so his work may not be entirely representative of the disenchanted Canadian. He was, however, observant of his Canadian comrades, and the book illustrates the critique of religion that was common in anti-war literature of the period.

Generals Die in Bed opens with a scene of new recruits returning to their Montreal barracks after visiting assorted brothels. Anderson, a middle-aged Methodist lay preacher from northern Ontario, sits on a bunk reading his Bible. He attempts to tell the younger men about the sinfulness of their actions but is shouted down. “Shut up, sky pilot!” yells one drunken teenager. The narrator’s own attitude to Anderson is not clear at first. As the book progresses, however, we see that Anderson represents something larger than himself: the old-fashioned effort to justify the war in terms of Victorian evangelical piety. The character also tries to predict the war’s end using chronological calculations drawn from biblical prophecy. In response, his younger comrades heap mockery and abuse on him. When Anderson tells the young men they should not curse, the narrator muses bitterly:

To think we could propitiate a senseless god by abstaining from cursing! What god is there as mighty as the fury of a bombardment? … How will we ever be able to go back to peaceful ways and hear pallid preachers whimper of their puny little gods who can only torment sinners with sulphur, we who have seen a hell that no god, however cruel, would fashion for his most deadly enemies? Yes, all of us have prayed during the manic frenzy of a bombardment. Who can live through the terror-laden minutes of drumfire and not feel his reason slipping, his manhood dissolving?

The book’s predominant view is that religion is for irrational women and feminized men who have lost their wits. Harrison goes on to condemn the religiosity of those supporting the war in Canada:

Back home they are praying too – praying for victory – and that means we must lie here and rot and tremble forever.

Generals Die in Bed and All Else Is Folly are often cited as the most original and realistic of Canada’s Great War novels, alongside a third text, God’s Sparrows. Written by Philip Child and published in 1937, the book was based on Child’s own experience of the war. The protagonist, Dan Thatcher, is a relatively steady sort who maintains his faith throughout the novel, but much of the text’s emotional energy centres on two other characters, the mystic Dolughoff and Dan’s philosophical cousin Quentin. Dolughoff is convinced that he has a message from God that will bring an end to the war. Overcome by the horror of battle, he runs out into no-man’s-land and in God’s name orders both sides to stop. When they ignore him and continue to slaughter one another, Dolughoff shoots himself in the head, terrified of what the “indifferent and empty” sky implies. Quentin, on the other hand, is a sensitive character who doubts that he has a soul or that any providential God is watching. In one extended sequence Dan dreams of a dead Quentin wandering a bureaucratic, mechanized afterlife in search of a “Commander-in-Chief” whom he never finds.

It seems unlikely that these veteran authors who expressed doubt or unbelief were simply offering a cynical audience a position they did not personally hold. It is not hard to imagine that other CEF soldiers suffered a personal crisis like that of the Victoria Cross recipient Cyril Martin, a Baptist who began to doubt God’s goodness while serving in France. Seeing children with missing limbs deeply disturbed him. It “really got to me,” he later recalled.

I thought, if God is all powerful, why doesn’t he stop this war? And it was quite a while afterwards before I got [my faith] back.

\Martin returned to Christian belief by reinterpreting the war as a sin, a revolt against God’s will. Others never did regain their faith. As one Canadian Anglican recalled about his grandfather, who had fought in the Great War:

I don’t think he ever got over what happened to him in the war. He used to say that the church told him God wanted him to go to war. What he saw in the war made him believe there was no God. He never wanted to be a hypocrite – so he never went back inside a church.

The veteran in question was the son of Anglican priest and had previously been very active in the church, but after his loss of faith he would not even attend the weddings of his children and grandchildren. As his grandson put it, “He wasn’t willing to pretend something that wasn’t real for him anymore.”

Updated: Sep 22

Update Sep 20: This campaign is NOT done, Reema is waiting for her campaign manager to raise it to $25,000. A short-term goal is CAD $1,800 for a new laptop (including gfm and banking fees), but this is a projected estimate and I'll have a clearer number when I get more details.

Member(s): @reemash46 (shadowbanned), @reema16 (shadowbanned), @reemagaza (Reema), IG: reema_shurr (confirmed hers, see under cut for proof)

Verification: Operation Olive Branch Masterlist #18

Payment methods: Credit/debit, Paypal through my Kofi (Be warned that Paypal takes a cut. I will post proof of donation within 24h under the 'receipts' tag)

Donation match: $5 CAD (see under cut), $5 CAD

Summary: Reema is an evacuated Palestinian studying pharmacy abroad in Egypt and just paid off her tuition. She needs additional funds to care for herself and her family back home.

Current progress:

CAD $ 15,514 20,051 / 25,000

CAD is weak compared to other common currencies. Your donation can go a long way.

Campaign details:

Reema is the cousin of @mohamedabushaban06 (source). A few days ago, I made an emergency promotion to get Mohammed registered for college abroad here (It's not urgent anymore but he can still use support).

She's a 4th (out of 5) year pharmaceutical student currently studying abroad in Egypt after her school in Gaza was destroyed. Pharmacy school is difficult but she has a high average.

She just fundraised enough to pay her tuition for all her remaining schooling (see fund allocation section) and will start her semester on Sep 21, 2024.

The campaign goal was raised to $25,000 and the additional $5,000 will go towards academic needs and Reema's family back in Palestine.

She needs a new laptop after losing her old one.

Fund allocation:

All the original $20k is for paying off all of Reema's remaining schooling. There was a rush to get her from $15k to $20k to pay off her current semester due to banking complications. Her campaign manager was not in Canada until very recently and could not access the funds already in the campaign.

Even now, the manager can only send $1,500 at a time. At the time of writing this (Sep 22), I'm not sure when Reena can access the $15k and she isn't online often because she has the flu.

MISC:

Sep 10: Donation match $5 CAD

Reema on IG confirms the Tumblr is hers
