After initial but not particularly pressing discussions in the 1930′s about Canada joining the world’s other major nations as a shortwave broadcaster to adding it voice to world discussions, the outbreak of war suddenly increased the pressure.
At the same time, it changed the reason for such a service. It was felt Canadian military personnel serving abroad would need and should have, news from Canada.
In 1942, the government created the “International Service”, but wartime production priorities delayed delivery of things like transmitters. However by December1944, test broadcasts were being made, and the service was officially inaugurated in on February 25th, 1945. The Canadian Army Film and Photo Unit and the National Film Board recorded the moment in this Canadian Army Newsreel. Of note, once broadcasts began in English and French to Canadians, a German service was also begun as a “psychological” weapon.

Rolex, wholly Montres Rolex SA, also called (1905–15) Wilsdorf & Davis Ltd. and (1915–20) Rolex Watch Co. Ltd., a Swiss manufacturer of rugged yet luxurious watches. The company’s headquarters are in Geneva.
The history of Rolex is inextricably linked to the pioneering spirit of its founder, Hans Wilsdorf. In 1905, at the age of 24, Wilsdorf created a company in London specializing in the marketing of Replica Watches. He thus began to imagine a timepiece that could be worn on the wrist. While not guaranteeing wristwatches a very accurate precision, Hans Wilsdorf managed to make them not only elegant, but also reliable.
