A prisoner interrogation report dated 27 May 1918. The report reads: "I. PRISONER X. 1st. Battalion, 272 Res. Rogt., 82d Res. 1. CIRCUMSTANCES OF CAPTURE; Captured, while attempting to raid our trenches, at point 1719 at about 7A.M. 2. INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM PRISONER (a) Between point 1814 and point 175242 the German trenches appear to be held by three companies, each numbering 3 platoons, each platoon numbering about 40 men. Each company has 4 light machine guns in the first lines, these machine guns distributed along the first trench (one of them in particular is located at bond in hostile trench at point 17215 and another at about 17245. Each company, furthermore, has one platoon (weak in numbers) in support in the ravine north of Cantigny. These platoons are in dugouts dug into the side of the hill approximately between points 28215 and 2223. Each of these support platoons has two light machine guns at its disposal. Company commanders dugout is at some point along the line of dugouts occupied by the support platoons. Another company commander's dugout (Co.3) is at point 1815 about 15 meters behind the German trench which runs along the edge of the town of Cantigny. There is a communication trench between the cemetery at 2018 and the front line at 18179. It is believed that there is a machine gun at point 17245 kept in a dugout dug under the road. The reserve battalion is believed to be at a fairly great distance from the front (near Bouillancourt). The prisoner, on the other hand, states that it may have been moved up."

L’étude du discours de guerre destiné aux enfants de Montréal, entre 1914 et 1918, concernant la Première Guerre mondiale n’a pas retenu l’attention des historiens canadiens. Pourtant, à travers une analyse des journaux montréalais, des revues pédagogiques du Québec, de certains écrits gouvernementaux, il est possible de comprendre comment la guerre est expliquée aux enfants. Ce mémoire vise à mettre en relief les caractéristiques et les objectifs du discours de guerre destiné aux enfants montréalais d’âge primaire. Le premier chapitre s’attardera aux connaissances factuelles transmises aux enfants afin d’établir les raisons qui leur sont présentées quant aux origines de la guerre. Nous constaterons la mise en place d’un triple discours : un discours de peur, un discours visant à rassurer et un discours culpabilisant pour sensibiliser les enfants à l’effort de guerre canadien. Le chapitre suivant analyse les principales caractéristiques des récits de guerre proposés aux enfants. Nous serons ainsi en mesure de cerner les objectifs de ce genre d’histoires. Enfin, nous verrons la place de l’enfant dans le discours de guerre. Nous montrerons comment l’enfant des récits de guerre devient un acteur dans le conflit et comment les écrits utilisent les actions héroïques enfantines. Dans cette guerre qui insiste sur la mobilisation de tous, le discours s’adresse aux filles et, surtout, aux garçons. La Première Guerre mondiale est un sujet incontournable à tel point qu’elle sert de prétexte pour inculquer aux enfants certaines connaissances traditionnelles et nouvelles. Elle s’immisce dans le quotidien de l’enfant, à l’école, dans ses loisirs et dans ses corvées familiales. L’enfant doit développer son patriotisme et les qualités « naturelles » propres à son sexe : les garçons doivent apprendre à faire la guerre et les filles à la soutenir. Le discours de guerre cherche à embrigader l’enfant dans l’effort de guerre canadien. Il insiste sur plusieurs nouvelles thématiques qui auparavant ne faisaient pas partie des enseignements habituels, comme la situation géopolitique de la Belgique. Il incite les petits Montréalais à devenir de bons futurs citoyens qui sauront, si l’occasion se représente, donner leur vie pour leur pays, mais, dans l’immédiat, il les incite surtout à participer à l’effort de guerre.

Cette étude s’intéresse au discours des anciens combattants dans le cinéma français mettant en scène la Grande Guerre entre 1918 et 1939. L’objectif est de démontrer que le film propose une contre-histoire en permettant aux poilus d’exprimer leurs visions et leurs opinions sur 14-18 et sur la société de l’entre-deuxguerre. Utilisant leur expérience du front, les cinéastes deviennent historiens et témoins à la fois. Le film répond à un souci de préservation de la mémoire. Ayant été écarté de l’écriture de l’Histoire officielle, le témoignage des combattants se transpose dans l’image. Ils rétablissent ainsi les omissions et les inexactitudes. Parallèlement, le contexte politico-social influence l’interprétation du conflit, donnant lieu à des films commémoratifs ou politisés. Plus largement, cette étude s’interroge sur les permanences et les ruptures dans le discours dans l’entre-deux-guerre. Elle permet d’observer que la fiction peut en même temps être un témoignage historique de la Grande Guerre et une représentation du temps présent, en proposant une relecture des évènements.
