Il atteignit le chiffre de quelque 10 000 hommes en 1944, plus 8 000 autres à temps partiel. La grande majorité d'entre eux servirent au Canada, et l'on compta quelques compagnies à Terre-Neuve, à Londres (Angleterre), à Nassau (Bahamas) et à Georgetown (Guyane). En 1944-1945, certains se rendirent en Inde et en Birmanie en tant que «peaussiers de mule». Un certain nombre d'anciens combattants surveillèrent des centrales électriques, des usines et d'autres installations jugées essentielles à l'effort de guerre, mais la plupart agirent comme gardiens auprès des camps de prisonniers de guerre et d'internement d'étrangers ennemis au Canada. La Garde territoriale continua de servir après la guerre jusqu'en mars 1947, date à laquelle les derniers anciens combattants furent libérés. 2, record 11, French, - Garde%20territoriale%20des%20anciens%20combattants

Use of the Euro as Official Reserve Currency. Several participants pointed to the attractive features of the euro as a reserve currency, although such use would develop gradually.

Monnaie de réserve. On désigne sous ce terme, la monnaie d'un pays qui, en raison de la confiance qu'elle inspire à la communauté internationale ou en raison de la puissance économique et politique du pays, est conservée comme «réserve de change» par les Banques Centrales. Actuellement le dollar US continue, peut-être faute de mieux, à être la monnaie de réserve mondiale en vertu des accords de Bretton Woods. 3, record 12, French, - monnaie%20de%20r%C3%A9serve

L'utilisation de l'euro comme monnaie de réserve. Plusieurs participants ont souligné l'attrait de l'euro comme monnaie de réserve, encore qu'il ne sera utilisé à cet effet que progressivement. Au départ, l'UEM réduira en fait l'importance des monnaies européennes dans les réserves mondiales, car [...] les avoirs en monnaies à remplacer par l'euro détenues au sein de l'UEM ne feront plus partie des réserves internationales. 4, record 12, French, - monnaie%20de%20r%C3%A9serve

[In 1913-14] the Federal Reserve System was a managed money standard system. Being managed meant that policy makers were not required to increase reserve bank credit automatically when gold flowed to the U. S. as the rest of the world failed to deflate as fast as the U. S. Rather, they could choose to watch something else, for example the stock market, as a signal that money was too easy. 1, record 14, English, - managed%20money%20standard%20system

[En 1913-1914] le Système fédéral de Réserve était un système administré d'étalon-devise. «Administré» signifie que les autorités monétaires n'étaient pas tenues d'accroître automatiquement les crédits des Banques de Réserve lorsque l'or affluait vers les États-Unis en provenance des autres pays qui n'enregistraient pas une déflation aussi rapide que ces derniers. Les autorités pouvaient choisir d'observer d'autres indicateurs, le marché boursier par exemple, pour déterminer si la politique monétaire était trop laxiste. 1, record 14, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20administr%C3%A9%20d%27%C3%A9talon%2Ddevise
