Royal Canadian Army Chaplain Corps

Chaplains share the hardships and perils that fall to other service personnel. "It is the business of the regimental padre to be the friend and adviser of the soldier, and the manner in which he has done this business has had more than a little to do with the maintenance of the morale of the army." [2] John Weir Foote, chaplain of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery under fire in helping care for the wounded and evacuate them from Dieppe.[3] Ten members of the Canadian Chaplains Service are buried in World War 2 Commonwealth War Graves Commission grave plots overseas (three buried in France, two in Belgium, two in the Netherlands, two in Italy and one in the UK).[4]
