W e are pleased to announce that Manitoba has now formed two Chapters of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping (CAVUNP). Originally the only Chapter was in Winnipeg. A group of ex-Peacekeepers formed the first executive on the 6th of December, 2000 and were supported by 22 others in the first six months of operating as a Chapter. As the membership grew the Manitoba Chapter, as it was originally know, split to form a second Chapter in Brandon. At this time it was also decided that the name Manitoba Chapter would have to be changed to differentiate between the two Chapters. Each Chapter then decided on its own unique name at their respective Executive Meetings. The one based in Winnipeg approached LGen (ret) RR Crabbe to use his name for the Chapter. He graciously accepted and the Manitoba Chapter, based in Winnipeg, will be known as the "LGen RR Crabbe Chapter" (LGen (ret) RR Crabbe,CMM, MSC, CD, B Sc shown here), and the newer Chapter based in Brandon will be known as the "Sapper Holopina Chapter ". The LGen RR Crabbe Chapter will hold its meetings on the 1st Wednesday of each month at the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Unit #283, 3584 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba. We thank the Executive of ANAVETS #283 for allowing us to use their facility as our home base.

Spanish Civil War. These men created the most unique military unit in the history of Canada the MackenziePapineauBattalion of the XVth International Brigade of the Spanish http://www.sispain.org/english/history/civil.html
Extractions: 1936 to 1939: A military rising originating in Morocco, headed by General Francisco Franco, spreads rapidly all over the country, thus starting the Spanish Civil War. After a number of bloody battles in which fortunes changed from one side to the other, the 'nacionales' finally prevailed and made a victorious entry into Madrid (March 28th, 1939). The Republican government formed a coalition Cabinet headed by Giralt which was succeeded by another one under Largo Caballero. It brought the CNT (Confederacion Nacional de Trabajo, the anarcho-syndicalist union) into the Cabinet and moved to Valencia. On September 29, the Junta de Defensa Nacional named Franco head of the government and commander of the armed forces. To offset these circumstances, the Republican government created a Popular army and militarized the militia. Both sides were soon receiving aid from abroad: the International Brigades were supporting Republican Spain and Italian and German troops, Nationalist Spain. Jarama, Brunete, Quinto, Belchite, Fuentes de Ebro, Teruel, The Retreats and The Ebro are the battlegrounds of the Spanish Civil War in which over twelve hundred Canadian soldiers supporting Republican Spain took part. These men created the most unique military unit in the history of Canada: the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion of the XVth International Brigade of the Spanish Republican Army: 'the Mac-Paps.'
