Terrace Mutiny The Terrace Mutiny was a revolt by Canadian soldiers based in Terrace , British Columbia during World War II . The mutiny , which began on November 24 , 1944 , and ended on November 29 , 1944 , was the most serious breach of discipline in Canadian military history . The mutiny was triggered by the rumour that soldiers based on the home front would be deployed overseas . Root causes . As had occurred in Canada during World War I , conscription was a divisive issue in Canadian politics . During the election campaign of 1940 , Liberal leader William Lyon Mackenzie King promised to limit Canada ' s direct military involvement in the war . This was possible in the early years of the war , and those who were conscripted were deployed on the home front . However , as the war progressed , mounting losses combined with a lack of volunteers put greater pressure on the government to send conscripts overseas . Facing pressure from his , in late November 1944 Mackenzie King agreed to a one - time assignment of conscripts for overseas service . At the time the Mackenzie King government was reconsidering its conscription policy , the 15th Canadian Infantry Brigade of Pacific Command was stationed in Terrace , located in north - west British Columbia . At that time , the town had less than 500 residents . The 15th Brigade , which numbered approximately 3000 men , was composed largely of conscripts , with a significant number of French Canadian s , most of whom were uninterested in fighting in any theatre of World War II . The morale of the 15th Brigade was low , largely due to the poor relationship between the soldiers and the local populace , the isolation of the post , the damp weather , lack of recreation , crowded facilities , and the distance from home for most of the men . Mutiny . Many of the officers of the brigade were in Vancouver when news that conscripts might be deployed overseas reached the soldier s stationed in Terrace . Many soldiers began to disobey orders of those officers present in Terrace . On November 24 , 1944 , members of the Fusiliers du S - Laurent , who were part of the 15th Brigade , resolved to resist any efforts to deploy them overseas and some men seized weapons . The mutiny spread to other elements of the 15th Brigade as news came in of resistance by conscripts of other units stationed elsewhere in the province . By November 28 , the mutiny had begun to wane . The officers , led by Major General George Pearkes , were able to regain control and restore order to the troops . Many of the men returned the seized weapons . By November 29 , the mutiny had exhausted itself . Some units , such as the Prince Albert Volunteers , were already being shipped out of Terrace . Cover - up . The government and military were fearful that the mutiny would spread and impair the war effort . The authorities pressured censors to apply federal press censorship regulations more strictly . These efforts were largely successful . The mutiny did not come to be well known among the general public , and the event came to be an obscure event in Canadian history .

Courageously refusing to abandon 4 more wounded men who were lying along the trail , 1 by 1 he brought them back to safety . As he was carrying the last man in his arms he was struck by a heavy burst of automatic fire and was killed . By his persistent and daring self - sacrifice and on behalf of his comrades , S / Sgt . Endl made possible the successful evacuation of all but 1 man , and enabled the 2 platoons to withdraw with their wounded and to reorganize with the rest of the company .
