"In addition, to these ameni- ties all the Allied formations had almost incredible numbers of headquarters and line - of- communications troops." Allen, who 'covered the Sec- ond World War invasion of Eu- rope for the Toronto Globe and Mail, says the Canadian Army of about a half-million men ap- pears to have had the largest! proportion, among the Allies, of} military personnel manning, supplying and keeping its divi-' sions in action. This proportion referred to as| the '"'divisional slice' was 91,-| 150 in the Canadian Army| though "in a division the num- ber of men who could see the whites of the enemy's eyes arfa| engage him with rifles, gre-' nades, sub - machine - guns or bayonets was "around 4,000" A Canadian division's actual personnel, not counting the sup- ply and maintenance organiza-| tions behind it, was 18,000 for an infantry formation and 15,-) 600 for an armored division Canada had clung to the goal of a _self-contained, _ self-con- trolled, self-administered army| * of its own. While this army of/ five divisions was relatively| small, it still required "a big} national defence headquarters! at Ottawa, a big Canadian mili-| tary headquarters in London, a} big Canadian Army headquar-| ters in Surrey and later on the Continent, and there were two substantial corps headquarters in Italy and Western Europe."
