Retracing Their Footsteps: Officer and Naval Cadets Reflect on the 2025 Mottershead Battlefield Tour
The Mottershead Battlefield Tour (MBFT) is a nine-day, non-credit history experience offered twice a year thanks to the extraordinary contribution of Ian and Rosemary Mottershead. It immerses Officer and Naval Cadets in the landscapes of two world wars—from the trenches of the Somme to the beaches of Dieppe, from Monte Cassino to Coriano Ridge, and the Falaise Gap.
Led by RMC faculty, the MBFT is more than a travel opportunity—it’s a meaningful extension of the College’s core history curriculum. It offers students a deeper understanding of the complexities of any battlefield decision and their impact in both global conflicts.
At Vimy Ridge, students stood at the edge of the preserved trenches and looked out over ground once taken at great cost. In Ortona, they walked in the footsteps of the Canadian troops that fought in 1943, from street to street and from mouse-hole to mouse-hole, with the remains of the bullets still visible on the walls around them. In each place, they encountered not only historical facts but personal legacies.

Digital Simulations
The simulation was designed and developed by Professor Walter Dorn (Department of Defence Studies at RMC and CFC). He is an operational professor who has served in UN missions and regularly visited them for over 20 years. Six years ago, during a sabbatical, he started exploring the new medium of digital simulation. He wanted to offer scenario-based learning to students in his courses on peace operations. To develop digital simulations, he created a team of a dozen researchers and developers who looked at UN operations and identified important lessons before gamifying them through the Unity Game Engine.
