Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Imperial Munitions Board : The Imperial Munitions Board, which superseded the Canadian Shell Committee, was established on 30 November 1915. Although Sir Sam Hughes was named Honourary President, and the Board received the Canadian Government's full approval and support, it was responsible directly to the British Minister of Munitions, charged with the task of acting on behalf of the British Government in obtaining war supplies in Canada.

The Board expended a total of 200 million pounds on goods and supplies. Its activities ceased with the armistice, and in August 1921, the Chair, Sir J.W. Flavelle, submitted his final report to the British Minister of Munitions.
