Institute of Historical Research Military History in Canada Panel 2: First World War The Supreme War Council’s Inter-allied War Planning for 1919 Meighen McCrae (Doctoral Student, University of Oxford) Originally from Algonquin, Ontario, Meighen McCrae completed her undergraduate degree at Carleton University with a major in History and a minor in English Literature. In 2007 she completed her Master’s thesis entitled, Strategy and Science Fiction: Britain and the Invasion Scares, 1905-1909 at the University of Calgary. This thesis, supervised by Dr. John Ferris, assessed the similarities in the visions promulgated by strategic publicists and science fiction writers in their attempts to raise concerns over national defence with the objective of affecting government policy. In October 2009 she began to read for her DPhil at the University of Oxford. Her current research focuses on the Supreme War Council and their strategic forecasting and inter-allied war planning for campaigns in 1919-1920.
