by Capt EA James.
A survey, in chronological order, of all battles, actions, engagements etc. published by the
Battles Nomenclature Committee in 1921, showing which formations took part, down to
brigade level. An index of place names and one of formations makes it a simple matter to
look up any engagement for details of participants; or any formation to discover which battles
it fought in throughout the Great War. Extensive footnotes supplement the text, and there is a
most useful table showing each divisions period of service on the Western Front. A unique
work of reference by an author whose later work, British Infantry Regiments 1914-1918,
written when he was a Brigadier, is widely known.

This medal was the first award issued to all ranks, and set a precedent for the issue of
campaign medals.It was awarded to all those who served at the battles of Ligny, Quatre Bras
and Waterloo 16th-18th June 1815.The battle is well-known, and a wealth of literature on the
subject is available.The most sought-after awards are, as usual, those to officers and to
casualties.In addition, medals to cavalry regiments are popular, especially those to the 2nd
Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys),who made a famous charge during the battle.Awards to
members of Colvilles Division consisted of the 35th, 54th, 59th and 91st Foot.Some 39,000
of these medals were issued, 6000 were issued to Cavalry; 4000 to Guards; 16,000 to Line
Regiments; and 5000 to Artillery.In addition, there was the usual contingent of supply
personel, and a 6,500 strong contingent of the Kings German Legion. This latter group
played an important part in the battle and suffered high casualties, The medal itself was
always issued in silver and is unusual in that the head of the Prince Regent is shown, whilst
all other campaign awards show the head of the relevant king or queen.The reverse depicts
the figure of Victory..Originally, the suspension was by a steel clip and ring, but as this was
unattractive and prone to rust, many recipients had suspenders fitted privately.The naming is
always in large impressed Roman capitals, with stars at the beginning and end of the naming
to fill up any free space.The ribbon is of crimson, with blue edges.

NAVAL MEDALS. Vol II. 1857-1880.

By Kenneth Douglas-Morris
One of the finest of all published memoirs of the Great War, truly a classic of its kind. The
author had enlisted in 1901 in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers (spelling changed from Welch to
Welsh in 1881 and back to Welch in 1920) and was a reservist when war broke out. He
rejoined his old, 2nd Battalion and landed in France with them on 11 August 1914. He went
right through the war with the battalion, never missing a battle, winning the DCM and MM
and ending up still a private. Here is a typical soldier of the pre-1914 regular army, one of the
Old Contemptibles and this book is a delight, written in his own unpolished manner.
Fighting, scrounging, gambling, drinking, dodging fatigues, stolidly enduring bombardment
and the hardships of trench warfare, always getting his job done. A tribute to the army that
died on the Western Front in 1914.
Comprehensive collection of mid 19th century Naval medals, informed by the enthusiasm
and knowledge of the author who researches the human stories behind the awards.

Vol 4: Non-commissioned Officers and
Men of the Royal Navy, Royal Flying
Corps and Royal Air Force 1914-1919.
The odd one out of all the British divisions of the 1914-18 War, the RN Division was formed
in September 1914 from Royal Marines and surplus naval reservists, organized in battalions
named after distinguished sailors in naval history- Hood, Nelson, Howe, Drake etc. After
early action in defence of Antwerp the division went to Gallipoli where it landed in April
1915 and saw the campaign through to the end. In April the division was taken over by the
War Office from the Admiralty and the following month it was moved to France; in July it
was given the number 63. It remained on the Western Front for the rest of the war. Total
casualties amounted to nearly 48,000. This is an excellent history by an accomplished writer
and a well-known literary figure.
This list is set out in two sections: The Royal Navy with the Navies of the Empire and the
Royal Marines; and The Royal Naval Air Service, Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force.
As with the other volumes in the series date and place of death are given with place of burial
or commemoration. This volume breaks new ground by recording the deaths and burial sites
of other ranks, and extending the date of research to 1921. The title is not exactly right since
it makes no mention of Warrant Officers who are included in the lists.

divisional artillery was British). An unusual and fascinating story and history.

INDIAN ARMY LIST 1919
This is a remarkably detailed history of the Royal Engineers in India beginning with the first
British Enginers at the time of the establishment of the East India Company. Since the
Engineers were present at all the wars involving East India Company soldiers and later the
Indian Army, this is, in fact, a history of that Army over nearly 300 years to 1932. What
makes the book so unique is that it is concerned solely with India & expeditions launched
from there. There are accounts of the Mysore, Maratha, Nepalese, Burma, Afghan & Sikh
Wars. The Indian Mutiny is covered in great detail - companies of the Bengal Sapper and
Miners were among the mutineers. We read of siege warfare in practice - breaching batteries,
tunnelling, mining, blowing obstacles & paving the way for infantry assault. There are also
accounts of more peaceful activities such as the construction of roads, forts but by and large,
it was a life of active service. Reorganizations of the Indian Army, the creation of the
Bengal, Bombay & Madras Sappers & Miners (a gradual evolution from the original pioneer
companies) are fully covered. In the Great War we follow the Sappers to the Western Front,
to Mesopotamia, Egypt, Palestine, Persia and East Africa. This is a fine book, a worthy
tribute to the British Officers of the RE who served with the Indian Army Sappers & Miners
and to their men. There is a very good index.
A splendid four-volume comprehensive list of the Indian Army during the Great War,
including its British officers. Gives details of ranks, promotions, background, honours and
awards of all who served in India and other theatres. Offer expires 31 May 2008

The author of this memoir arrived on the Western Front to join 10th Bn West Yorks in July
1916, shortly after the opening day of the Battle of the Somme in which his battalion had
suffered the highest casualties of any battalion on that day - 710 of whom 306 were killed.
Regarded as one of the classics the book gives a vivid description of life in the trenches - the
routine, the boredom , the mud and the horror. His war ended in January 1917 when he was
concussed by a shell exploding on the parapet in front of him. Well recommended.

A NAVAL BIOGRAPHICAL
DICTIONARY
by William R. OByrne
The author of this book was commander of G Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, in Wellingtons
army, who jotted down notes on the events of the day each evening. It is an account of what
he saw and felt from leaving Colchester for Belgium on 8 April 1815 to his final return to
England at the end of January 1816. It is a remarkable and compelling account, especially of
the three days which ended the career of Napoleon. Mercers troop was at Quatre Bras, where
he got off a few rounds at Napoleon himself, and at Waterloo. There are graphic descriptions
of the battles and of his tour over the battlefield the day after, with its appalling scenes of
carnage and the sight of the locals looting the dead, and the not-quite dead. It is an
outstanding example of the literature of the Napoleonic wars, and it has a rarity as the
memoir of an artillery officer, and a troop commander at that.
Reprint of the Harts Army List for the first quarter of 1895 which includes the Militia and
Yeomanry Cavalry, The Royal Marines, Indian Staff Corps and Local Indian Forces. It gives
details of war services which include medals and distinctions as well as noting those
wounded and the actions in which they were wounded. Periods of half pay are shown as well
as cases where officers had purchased their commissions (this custom had been abolished in
1871 but in 1895 there were still officers serving whose army careers had started that way).
Reserve of officers and retired officers are not included in Quarterly Lists. For the Indian
Army there is a consolidated list showing every officer with his last British regiment, and this
is followed by the regimental list in which officers are shown by regiment.
Originally published in 1849, this work gives details of the life and services of every living
officer in Her Majestys Navy who was serving or had retired by 1845 - nearly 5,000
officers in all. Generally acknowledged as the most comprehensive work of its kind, it was a
considerable undertaking for one man to piece together such detailed biographies. Offer

Between 18 August and 8 September 1914, 32,665 volunteers responded to the call to arms
sent out by Canadas Minister of Militia, Sam Hughes. Carried in a hundred special trains
from virtually every militia unit across the country, they assembled in a newly-constructed
camp at Valcartier, a few miles north-west of Quebec City. Here they were sorted out into
units of all arms of the service, and these units are all listed in this book, with the names of
the officers and men allocated to them. The infantry were formed into seventeen numbered
provisional battalions, plus one raised within a few days of the outbreak of war - Princess
Patricias Light Infantry (PPCLI) consisting of veterans with previous military service. From
the regular or Permanent Force came the two cavalry regiments, the Royal Canadian
Dragoons and Lord Strathconas Horse (R.C.) - the letters stand for Royal Canadian, - and
two batteries of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. Just over five weeks after the first of the
volunteers had arrived at Valcartier, a convoy of 32 ships carrying some 30,600 officers and
men, with their horses and equiment, sailed for England. From among this contingent were
selected the units to form the 1st Canadian Division which would land in France in February
1915, the first non-regular division to join the BEF. The introduction gives the background
story, including a list of all the non-permanent militia cavalry and infantry regiments of 1914,
the regiments from which these volunteers came.
This pamphlet is of historical interest in that it was published in France in September 1918 by
the Military Secretarys Branch of General Headquarters of the BEF. It goes into great detail
on the procedures, the qualifications and the eligibility of the various decorations. Thus, for
the VC it is stipulated that eye-witness accounts are not only necessary but must also be in
the hand-writing of the witness, unless the man cannot write or is unable to write because of
wounds, in which case the account must be taken down by an officer and certified correct.
An appendix lays down the order in which the awards should be worn.

Territorial Division) 1914-1918
The author of this history commanded the 18th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, the
divisional pioneer battalion. It is a good read and the details of the actions are supported by
excellent maps. This division had the melancholy distinction of suffering the highest
casualties of any of the assaulting divisions on the opening day of the Somme, 1 July 1916 6,380 of whom 2,480 were killed. Unusually it had only two commanders throughout the
war; the first, Ingouville-Williams (Inky Bill), was killed near Mametz on 22 July 1916.
Casualty figures are given for the various periods spent in the line, with annual summaries.
Reinforcements, reorganisations, staff and command changes, individual achievements in
action are all covered. Finally a table summarises the 2,506 honours and awards and the 364
foreign awards won by the officers and men of the division.

The Conspicuous Gallantry Medal (CGM) was instituted in 1855 as the naval counterpart of
the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) which had been introduced the year before, but for
which men of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines were not eligible. Both pre-dated the VC
(1856). Thus, until the appearance of the CGM there was no way of recognising gallant and
distinguished service by sailors and marines. The initial medal was the Royal Marine
Meritorious Service Medal but with the words For Meritorious Service on the reverse
altered to read For Conspicuous Gallantry. Twelve of these original medals were awarded
to eleven recipients; Able Seaman D.Barry received two. After the Crimea the medal fell into
disuse. It was revived for the Ashantee War of 1873-1874 and subsequent wars and
campaigns. In 1921 the ribbon was changed from three equal stripes blue, white, blue to
white with dark blue edges to avoid any confusion with the DSC which also had the same
three stripes though with a darker blue. In 1942 came the final change in the CGMs history
when eligibility was extended to Army and RAF personnel for gallantry whilst flying in
active operations against the enemy, this in addition to the Distinguished Flying Medal. The
CGM(Flying) medal remained the same but with a different ribbon of light blue with dark
blue edges. In 1995 the DCM and both the CGMs were replaced by the new Conspicuous
Gallantry Cross. This book is in two sections: the CGM and the CGM(Flying) with the

Many books have been written about pilots of the Royal Flying Corps but the men on the
ground, who kept the planes in the air and the guns firing, have been sadly neglected - and yet
their role was a vital one. This truly remarkable book, the production of which must have
seemed an impossible task, has more than remedied the situation. The authors have managed
to locate all the non-commissioned airmen who enlisted in the RFC prior to the outbreak of
war in August 1914, and for each one they have provided a mini-biography. The length of
each entry varies, available records being what they are, but detail is provided for over 1,400
men . For those who became pilots, details of their certificates are given. Statistics include
the establishment of the Corps at various times and there is a list of non-commissioned ranks
as well as notes on uniforms, badges etc. There is a full record of works consulted at the

There can hardly have been a family in Britain which was not touched in some way by the
tragedy of the First World War, the Great War for Civilisation. Great Britain, alone among
the major European nations, went to war in 1914 with an army based on voluntary enlistment,
numbering just over 247,000 at the outset with 486,000 Reserves and Territorials. By
November 1918 almost a further 5,000,000 had enlisted, over half of them volunteers. For the
first time since Napoleon, Britain had become a nation in arms and, in January 1916, for the
first time in the countrys history, conscription was introduced. The war developed into one
of attrition as the allies strove to break through the formidable enemy defences and, by the
end, casualties on both sides were on a scale hitherto unparalleled. In 1921, 81 volumes
embracing every regiment and corps of the British Army were published listing almost
662,000 Soldiers and 41,000 Officers who died in the war, and it is this immense undertaking
which is published by The Naval & Military Press on one fully-relational CD-Rom.
First issued in 1998, its fully searchable format allows flexible interrogation of over 703,000
records.
Its publication rewrote the rulebook and placed the Naval & Military Press in the forefront of
serious military publishing. This highly-acclaimed CD-ROM has gone on to sell several
thousand copies.

and regiment into which commissioned, and date of each promotion thereafter, including
temporary and brevet rank. It also indicates any change in regiment (it was quite common for
an officer to start out in one regiment and transfer to another at a later date) and if an officer
was appointed adjutant in his regiment, that too is shown, though not which battalion. If the
officer went on half-pay (a common occurrence in those far-off days), the date is given as is
the date of return to full pay. And finally, it gives details of Staff and Extra Regimental

Eye-witness accounts and memoirs of the Peninsula War by ordinary soldiers who took part
in the campaign have deservedly acquired a high reputation for the vivid picture they give us
of life in Wellingtons army and their insights into a brutal and merciless war. These two
volumes of Peninsular Sketches are the cream of the genre. Collected by William Hamilton
Maxwell, a colourful and well-regarded Anglo-Irish military historian and writer who may
well have served in the Peninsular himself, they are now published in a modern revised
edition. Volume One of this smart and conveniently sized re-print includes a lengthy and
learned introduction by the modern military historian Stanley Monick, which comprises a
biography of Maxwell himself, an outline of the course of the war, as well as well-informed
notes and a commentary on the sketches themselves. Both volumes also have full indexes
compiled by Dr Monick.
Volume One of the sketches give us raw material from such events as the storming of the
fortress of Ciudad Roderigo and the sack of Badajoz as well as the great victory at
Salamanca.
Volume Two follows the course of the war from the capture of Madrid, Wellingtons victory
at Vittoria and the British armys passage over the Pyrenees and its final triumphal march to
Toulouse.
Long out of print, and a rare collectors item in the antiquarian book market; these fascinating
volumes are now within the price range of every enthusiast of the Peninsular War and
Napoleonic warfare generally. For the serious student of the subj...For more information

The troopship Birkenhead sailed from Cork on 17 January 1852, bound for South Africa
with 12 officers, two surgeons and an assistant surgeon, 479 WOs, NCOs and men, 56
women and children and a crew of 130. The troops, drafts from ten regiments, were
reinforcements for units involved in the Eighth Kaffir War. After putting into Cape Town,
disembarking sick men and some passengers and taking on coal and horses, the Birkenhead
sailed for Port Elizabeth on the evening of 25 February. At 1.50 a.m. on the 26th the ship
struck a reef about 50 miles out, tearing which a hole in the hull through which the seas
rushed in, instantly drowning most of those of the troops occupying the overcrowded lower
deck as they slept in their hammocks. The remainder mustered on deck under the orders of Lt
Col Alexander Seton of the 74th Highlanders (later to become the 2nd Battalion The
Highland Light Infantry), who detailed off parties to man the pumps and assist in launching
the eight boats, woefully inadequate for the numbers on board. Eventually three were lowered
and got away with, among others, all the women and children. The rest of the troops stood in
military formation on the deck as the ship sank, twenty-five minutes after striking the reef.
The horses were turned loose to swim ashore but they were attacked by sharks which had
gathered round. Many of those left on the ship tried to reach the shore, clinging to wreckage;
they, too, were attacked by sharks. The final death toll was 445, including the commander of
the vessel, Captain Salmond,...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.

The author of this book joined the British South Africa Company immediately after it was
formed in 1889, and from 1891 to 1893 was private secretary to Dr Jameson, in Rhodesia. He
was, thus, brought into close contact with some of those who were to play a prominent part in
the subject of this book. In his introduction he makes the point that any attempt to judge the
behaviour of those who took part in the Jameson Raid must be unprofitable without an
understanding of their psychology, what motivated them. The principal actors in this drama,
he says, were not ordinary men; not a few of them were personal friends. I
Dr. Leander Starr Jameson (1853-1917), a medical man (MRCS, MD), came to South Africa
from Britain in 1878 after a breakdown in health. He took up practice in Kimberley where he
first came into contact with Cecil Rhodes. He joined the BSA Company and when Rhodes
opened up Mashonaland, (todays Zimbabwe) Jameson gave up his practice and joined the
pioneering expedition to the new territory. In 1891 he became administrator of Rhodesia, and
on 31st December 1895, with a force of 600 men, led a raid into the Transvaal Boer republic
from Mafeking in support of a planned rising in Johannesburg, by anti-Boer Uitlanders mainly of English extraction, organised or at least connived at by Rhodes. The rising fialed to
occur and without it the raid was doomed from the outset. Only a week later Jamesons force
was compelled to surrender at Doornkop. Jameson and his officers were handed over to the

The story of the 8th Division began in Southampton when its HQ was set up in the Polygon
Hotel on 19th September 1914. Apart from the Northamptonshire Yeomanry, Wessex
(Territorial) Field Ambulance and the Signal Company, it was an all-regular division, the
infantry battalions coming from overseas garrisons. Its first commander was Major-General
F.J. Davies, a Grenadier, who had come from the post of Director of Staff Duties at the War
Office. Prior to that he had been Haigs Chief of Staff when the latter was GOC Aldershot
Command.
In his foreword Earl Haig highlights the fact that despite its unfailing gallantry in all its
efforts, the division was signally unfortunate in its lack of success in the major offensives in
which it took part. This is reflected in the appalling total casualty figure of just under 64,000
and the fifty pages of honours and awards, including Mention in Despatches, that constitute
one of the appendices. Twelve VCs were won.
It is a very good history, well written and supported by excellent maps. It strikes a balance
between detailed descriptions of the operations in which the division took part and anecdotes
and personal experience. Each major action described is preceded by a review of the situation
thus providing a background to the part played by the division. Appendices include, most
usefully, complete order of battle with names of commanders down to unit level, staffs down
to grade three, and all changes; a table showing sectors occupied with dates of periods spent

THE FIFTIETH DIVISION

1914 - 1919
Everard Wyrall
The 19th (Western) Division, known as the Butterflies from its divisional sign, an openwinged butterfly, began to assemble on Salisbury Plain in September 1914, one of the
divisions of Kitcheners Second New Army. It sailed for France in July 1915 and came under
command of the Indian Corps, and at the end of August took over its first sector of line,
Givenchy to Festubert, from the 7th Division.
The divisions first major taste of action was the battle of Loos, and although only one of its
brigades was fully committed the overall casualties amounted to some 2,000. The division
was at the Somme for the early battles of the offensive, its great achievement was the capture
of La Boisselle after intensive fighting during the period 2 - 5 July. It was here that 34th
Division had suffered the highest casualties of any division on the first day, 1 July, in a vain
attempt to take the village. The cost to the 19th Division was around 3,500 and today their
memorial stands in front of the village church. It was in this action their first VCs were
awarded - three of them.
In March 1917 the division made its first appearance on the Ypres front and in June

The Royale Humane Society was founded in 1774 and, since that date, has awarded more
than 12,5OO medals for gallantry in saving life. In 1872 a partial listing of silver and gold
medal citations was published by Lampton Young under the title of Acts of Gallantry . this
being followed up in 1996 by a second volume of the same name written by Bill Fevyer. The
third volume reproduces all silver and Stanhope gold medal citations for the period 1951-95,
together with citations for all bronze clasps awarded since their introduction in 1869. The
Stanhope Gold Medal is presented annually by the RHS to the man or woman judged to have
carried out the most heroic rescue in the year. Since 1962 the RHS has allowed associated
societies in Australia, New Zealand and Canada to forward cases for consideration for this
most prestigious of awards, and the volume also reproduces numerous Commonwealth
citations. Whilst the first two volumes in the series restricted themselves to gold and silver
awards, the third also publishes full citations for all of the 248 bronze clasps awarded by the
RHS. Royal Naval recipients are particularly well represented amongst these multiple award
winners, but the only recipient to win the bronze medal plus five clasps made all of his
rescues in the murky waters of Londons Regents Canal! The new volume is
comprehensively indexed, with over 400 individuals being listed. In addition, the original

The dedication of this book will jolt the memories of those old enough to remember 60 years
back: it is to the crew of HM Submarine Thetis which sank with a loss of ninety-nine lives
during acceptance trials in Liverpool Bay on 1st June 1939. In this book the authors set out to
summarize the existing practice of the State and of public and other bodies in this or other
countries in rewarding acts of gallantry whether in peace or in war. It is interesting that in
discussing British gallantry awards they make a case for a Conspicuous Gallantry Cross to
replace the DSC, MC and DFC as an award for officers of the three Services; this award was
actually instituted in 1995, but for all ranks of all three Services, the first going to a corporal
in Bosnia in May 1995. After discussing the various military and civil gallantry awards the
rest of the book, some 300 pages, is taken up, with lists of recipients - with full citations of the Albert Medal; the Edward Medal; Empire Gallantry, Medal Military and Civil
Divisions; Albert Medal for Sea Service (Admiralty awards) and Civilian Sea Service (Board
of Trade awards); and Life Saving gallantry awards - all these from the first awards to the end

This account of the 1867/68 campaign is by an officer of the 3rd Dragoon Guards, one of the
regiments involved, and in the introduction he states clearly that his aim has everywhere been
impartiality; his object truth. He begins with a brief but informative historical background to
the country of Abyssinia, going back to the earliest days and leading up to the reasons for the
despatch of an expedition against the Christian Emperor Theodore III. Briefly, the British
Consul, Captain Cameron, was sent home by Theodore with a letter to Queen Victoria which
reached the Foreign Office in February 1863 but, due to Foreign Office cack-handedness
never reached the Queen. The lack of any response and a visit by Cameron (after he had
returned from England in January1864) to the Egyptian frontier town of Kassala infuriated
the Abyssinian monarch who had Cameron and his staff thrown into prison. The British made
a belated effort to retrieve the situation through an emissary, Mr Rassam, who arrived in
January 1866 but he...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com

The creation of an Army Roll of Honour, preserved in the Public Record Office under the
reference WO 304, was first discussed in the War Office in January 1944, as a direct result of
the failure of accurate lists being published in the national press. It was soon realised that a
single roll of honour would enable the War Office, units of the British Army, and other
organisations, to obtain data concerning casualties from a single source, and so be less time
consuming than consulting a variety of other records.
The Roll of Honour was compiled between the end of 1944 and March, 1949. It was
estimated to have taken 40,800 clerical staff hours to compile and produce. The data for the
roll was punched on to card, each hole representing a certain item of information. The cards
were fed into a Hollerith Machine (an early type of data processor), and the eventual roll was
produced on an A3 paper print out.
The information captured in the roll represents that which the War Office felt appropriate for
their own purposes, and the information which the Imperial War Graves (now Commo...For

Price: 35.00
When the 8th (Light) Division was re-numbered 14th, the 9th (Scottish) became the senior
division of the first of Kitcheners New Armies. It came into being towards the end of August
1914, and although the history has very little to say about its training this period is
graphically and amusingly described in The First Hundred Thousand , a novel by Ian Hay
who was an officer in the division. The 9th began its move to France on 8 May 1915, the first
of the New Army divisions to go on active service, and at the beginning of July it took over a
sector of the line around Festubert. Its first major battle was Loos (September 1915) in which
it suffered 6,000 casualties in three days; among the dead was the divisional commander,
Major-General Thesiger. The first half of 1916 was spent in the Plugstreet sector during
which time Churchill was there, commanding 6th Royal Scots Fusiliers. In May 1916 one of
the brigades, the 28th, was broken up and replaced by the South African Brigade, which had
just arrived from Egypt; it proved to be one of the finest brigades in the BEF.
For the first three weeks of July the division was on the Somme - Bernafay, Longueval and
Delville Wood (now the site of South Africas National Memorial) - with losses of 7,200.
After a rest and a month in the Vimy sector it returned to the Somme in October, near the
Butte de Warlencourt. Several unsuccessful attacks against that feature resulted in a further
3,100 casualties. From December 1916 to August 1917 the division was on the Arras front,
taking part in the First and Third Battles of the Scarpe (5,000 casualties) before moving to
Ypres in September at the height of Third Ypres. A months fighting there cost nearly
another 5,000 casualties. In 1918 the division distinguished itself during the German
offensive, earning the praises of the C in C and even of the Kaiser, and in the final advance to
victory. The 9th Scottish was a first class division. It gained seven VCs and the total casualty

The great German assault on Verdun opened on 21 February 1916 and the battle went on
with furious attacks and counterattacks till it finally petered out on 18 December, ten months
later, some two and a half months longer than the British offensives of the Somme and Third
Ypres combined. After describing the origins and conduct of the battle with maps and
illustrations the book takes us on a tour of the town and of various parts of the battlefield with
its numerous forts. There are two itineraries, one visits the right bank of the Meuse, with the
forts of DOuaum,ont, Vaux and Souville the other the left bank and the bloody and sinisterly
named hill called the Mort Homme (dead Man). The Verdun battlefield still has today a
sombre, even eerie atmosphere where no birds seem to sing. Casualty figures differ widely,
but the French Official History gives 377,000 French casualties while the German figure is
337,000.
The book opens with an interesting, brief history of the cathedral city where French kings
were traditionally crowned before leading into the Great War. The Germans occupied Rheims
for a short time in September 1914 but were forced to withdraw. Thereafter they subjected
the town to frequent bombardments throughout the war, inflicting enormous damage on the
place; the famous cathedral was badly knocked about. The fighting for the town in 1914 is
described as is, briefly, the disastrous French Nivelle offensive of April 1917, the German
last fling in July 1918 and the final operations of September-November 1918, all with
explanatory maps.There are two itineraries of the town with accompanying street plans, and
four tours of the battlefield. The photos are, as usual, of great interest, showing Rheims
before and during the war.

One of the famous series of Michelin guides to the Great War battlefields. This book is
primarily concerned with the French offensives of May and September 1915 in which they
suffered appalling casualties. It takes you through such places as Notre Dame de Lorette
(now the French National Memorial), Carency, Souchez, Ablain St Nazaire, Vimy and, of
course, Arras itself. The British part in the overall plan (Joffres) was at Aubers Ridge in May
and Loos in September; both are outside the scope of this book. The British Arras offensive
of April/May 1917 is briefly described. There are numerous, splendid photos of the
battlefields before, during and just after the war. There are many familiar places, hard to
recognize as they are today; nevertheless this is an evocative record and one full of interest to
todays pilgrims.

This book begins with a thirteen page account of the Battle of the Marne which it advises the
tourist to read before going on to the descriptive part, so that he or she has an understanding
of the action as a whole; the operations described here lasted from 6 to 13 September 1914.
This account is supported with maps and photos of commanders on both sides. Then follows
the tourist section in which the battlefields are divided into three sub-divisions which
correspond to the three main sectors of the battle: The Ourcq (with visits to Chantilly, Senlis
and Meaux); the Marshes of St Gond (with visits to Coulommiers, Provins and Sezanne); and
the Revigny Pass (with visits to Chalons sur Marne, Vitry le Francois and Bar le Duc).
Descriptions provide something of the history of the towns and places of interest, with prewar and wartime photos, as well as a guide to the battlefields in the area.

It may not be widely known but a large number of Irish soldiers deserted their own army
during WWII (Eire remained neutral) and crossed the sea to join the British army. Once the
war was over these men were officially dismissed the service and their names published in
this confidential document. The formal title of the document is List of personnel of the
Defence Forces dismissed for desertion in time of National Emergency pursuant to the terms
of Emergency Powers (No 362) Order 1945 (S.R. & O. 1945 No 198) or Section 13 of the
Defence Forces (Temporary Provisions) Act, 1946 (No 7/1946). In it are listed, in
alphabetical order, some 5,000 or more names with Army No, last recorded address, date of
birth, declared occupation prior to enlistment in Defence Forces, and date of dismissal from
Defence Forces. In the latter case the date is amost invariably 8 August 1945. This document
was circulated to all civil service departments and state run services, e.g post office, health
service, state owned bus , rail, air and shipping companies etc. This was obviously intended
to bar them from any form of government employment. It is a fascinating document and one
which I have never been aware of before. It would be interesting, with the Naval and
Military Press CD of Soldiers Died in WWII, to see how many of them were kiled or died in
the war. The number of desertions is surprisingly large for a small army, but it must be an
indication of the strength of feeling at the time.
This official document, dated 6th March 1924, lists the names of 898 officers being
demobilised from the Irish Defence Forces on 7th March 1924 and a further 33 who resigned,
Dept of General Staff, GHQ Irish Defence effective from the same day. The details given in each case include name and rank and the
unit in which the officer was serving at the time, and in many cases, the appointment held.

This action was the result of the decision to reduce the strength of the force (marine, coastal

their papers and were charged for insubordination, court-martialled and sentenced to
dismissal. A technical slip-up meant the sentence could not be confirmed but before a re-trial
could be held the officers concerned had been persuaded to accept. Some officers who were
not earmarked for demob took leave of the army in their own way. Over fifty made off with
arms and ammunition and almost the same number resigned - including three major generals
and five colonels. This was a very turbulent period in the history of the newly formed
independent Irish Free State, which had just emerged from the bitter Irish Civil War of 1922
-23, and needed to reduce its armed forces. The 898 in this list are those who acceptd their
papers without protest; those with asterisks against their names resigned. At the end are seven
names, officers dismissed the service for the reasons given.

The problem:
Reproducing Trench Maps has always been insurmountable using traditional printing
methods. Even if you could obtain a representative collection, the costs involved in
reproduction would be prohibitive. Equally, original intact maps must be considered rare.
They change hands at figures in excess of 100 per map!
The solution:
Innovative publishers, The Naval & Military Press, have taken 175 maps from the collection
housed at the Imperial War Museum which have been digitally scanned in 8-bit colour at
200dpi using a professional state-of-the-art large scale drum scanner. This has resulted in pinsharp images of this rare archive. Using the most technologically advanced software available
to us, Guy Smith, the projects Technical Director, has produced a user-friendly package
which allows you to browse, view and, if required, print.

This selection of 175 large-scale (1:10,000 or approximately 6-inches to 1 mile) trench maps

reasons why a particular design was chosen, with explanations of battle honours and mottoes.
Dates and details of Submissions, Approvals, Authorisations, Army Orders, Sealings and
depositing at the Army Clothing Department etc. have been quoted, as well as relevant
correspondence between the War Office, regiments and manufacturers. Collar badge
backings and items worn as both a cap and a collar badge have been covered in the text. The

covering some 800 units. These have been numbered so that each item can, in the future, be
recognised and referred to by merely quoting these numbers. The author has tried to
standardise the many varied terms used to describe a collar badge, and our aim has been to
contain in one book all the informaton required by a collector/researcher of the British Army
Infantry collar badge. Therefore information is included on the evolution and construction of
the item, and the uniform it was worn on; additionally the wider field includes sources of

full dress (see under Army Regulations India in this book list). After the Great War there
was another change during 1921-3 in which the 39 cavalry regiments were reduced to 21 and
the 130 infantry regiments became battalions of 20 new regiments, and this was the Indian
Army that went to war in 1939, less the 20th Burma Rifles which was transferred to Burma
Service in 1937. These regulations define the sealed patterns of dress, clothing, equipment
and badges; commanding officers were forbidden to introduce or to sanction any deviation.
Full dress uniform does not feature, but officers who possessed the pre-1914 pattern were
authorised to wear it when not on duty with troops who were no longer issued with it. All the
new regiments are covered in this book

One of the most sought-after sets of reference books of the First World War is the National
Roll of the Great War. The National Publishing Company attempted, shortly after hostilities
ceased, to compile a brief biography of as many participants in the War as possible. The vast
majority of entries refer to combatants who survived the Great War and the National Roll is
often the only source of information available. Fourteen volumes were completed on a
regional basis; the Naval & Military Press has compiled a fifteenth volume which contains an
alphabetic index to the fourteen published volumes. Original volumes are scarce and
command high prices.
As the National Roll of the Great War is in such great demand, Naval & Military Press have
decided to reprint a limited number of the complete work of fourteen volumes. They are
available in individual hardback volumes or now, for the first time, as a complete set.

The Northumberland Fusiliers (the Royal title was conferred in 1935) was one of the oldest
regiments in the British Army, the 5th of Foot. I say was because it no longer exists as such,
having become the 1st Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in 1968. But all this is
well after the period covered in this book. The regiment was raised in Holland in 1674 as an
Irish regiment by Lord Clare and in 1688 it officially became part of the British Army; in
1747 it was numbered 5th Regiment of Foot. During the next 155 years it fought in more
than fifty campaigns and battles across the world - in N America, Canada, S America, West
Indies, the Peninsula, India (three VCs were won during the Mutiny) and finally S Africa

1688 and 1900.
This regimental history is a revision and continuation up to 1910 of the printed Historical

HODSON - OFFICERS OF THE

BENGAL ARMY 1758-1834
by Major V.C.P Hodson
This most unusual book is subtitled Being a Study in the Development of weapons and
Appliances of Offence from the Earliest Times to the Age of Gunpowder. It surveys, in
considerable detail and with numerous drawings and illustrations, the art and means of
aggression developed by man beginning with the bare hand or fist and then the fist reinforced
by such appliances as the cestus of Roman times and the knuckleduster of the more
enlightened age. From here it moves on to simple, unshafted, hand-held weapons designed
for bruising and ripping - clubs, stones etc. The next stage is reinforcing the arm, the
development of hafted weapons and attachment of weapon heads to shafts - tha axe and adze
type and the ball and thong such as the bola. These are categorized as striking weapons. Then
come the pointed weapons - flint and metal daggers, spears, tridents and the like. So we are
taken on a stage by stage journey through the whole range of weaponry - grappling hooks,
cutting weapons, throwing spears, javelins, harpoons, catapults, blowpipes and the means of
throwing or discharging them. The sheer variety of means of dealing aggressively with your
opponent, when they are spelled out in detail, is remarkable, and there are many odd looking
weapons illustrated. In the detailed study and analysis of its subject this book can have no
rival.
This is a most important work of reference on Officers of the Bengal Army who entered
service between 1758 and 1834. Their military careers are shown, where appropriate, through
to the beginning of the 20th Century, covering service in the Afghan Wars, the Sikh Wars
and the Indian Mutiny. This is a most wonderful source for collectors of medals to the Indian
Army.

As the title suggests, these are the memoirs of a veteran of the bloody Waterloo campaign,
originally written as letters and privately printed over fifty years later, for the benefit of
Pattisons grandchildren. Aged over eighty, writing from the tranquillity of his home, he
recalls the horrors of the battlefield which he describes so vividly: At this juncture
Lieutenant Arthur Gore of the Grenadier Company, who was standing close by me..........was
hit by a cannon ball, and his brains bespattered the shakos of the officers near him. Frederick
Hope Pattison purchased an ensigns commission in 1810 and joined the 33rd Regiment of
Foot in Seringapatam, India. In 1853 the regiment was given the title Duke of Wellingtons,
the only regiment in the British Army named after a non-royal person. (The regiment still
exists today, one of the four English and Welsh line regiments to have survived the changes
inflicted on them since the Second World War). After Waterloo, Pattison served on till the
end of 1821 when he went on half-pay, as a captain, and his final appearance in the Army
List was in 1830. Although only five letters written by Pattison form the basis of this book,
Dr Stanley Monick, the editor, has amplified them with analysis, comment, historical and
social background and biographical details of persons mentioned in the text. He has divided
the book into three parts: Introduction and editorial approach; the Letters and appendices; and
Notes and Index. In his introduction Monick discusses the letter as a popular literar...For
The detail in this remarkable piece of research includes the nominal roll of pipers by
regiments and battalions, noting any casualties, and though the list does not claim to be
definitive it is nonetheless an extremely impressive one. There is also a roll of honour, again

regimental pipers, a fine piece on the music of battle by the famous war correspondent, Philip

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS

1901-1938
The author of this book was a junior major in the Royal Engineers, stationed at the Depot in
Chatham when war broke out. He went to France in October 1914 to 3 Base, Boulogne, but
some three weeks later, 8th November, he was sent forward to 2nd Division where he took
over 11 Fd Coy RE at Zillebeke.The C-in-C has therefore appointed Major Foulkes RE for
this duty. He has no pretence to technical knowledge, as far as I know, and it is not
considered that he need have very much. But he has had much experience at the front, and
can explain generally what we need and how we can perhaps best use it. In this fashion did
Charles Howard Foulkes, a complete novice in the science of chemical warfare, become
GHQs Gas Guru, responsible for the conduct of gas operations of the British Army in France
and for planning, organising, raising and training what came to be known as the Special
Brigade - part of the RE. .He certainly didnt have much time to create a new unit and train it
in a new aspect of warfare; the Battle of Loos, in which the British would first use gas, was
only four months away. Volunteers with a knowledge of chemistry were sought among
universities and colleges at home, as well as from the ranks of the BEF, with immediate
promotion to corporal - chemist corporal. A suitable base was found at Helfaut, a village four
or five miles due south of St Omer (where GHQ was located at the time), where it remained
as the depot for the rest of the war. At first two Special Companies were formed but they had

August 1914 Army List a most significant one. But it is not just a list of names, it shows the
command structure and order of battle of the British Army and Indian Army, all the regular
and territorial divisions and their locations, their commanders and staffs. Officers up to the
rank of Lieut-Colonel are show in their regiments/corps in seniority; in infantry regiments the
battalion is also shown. The locations of all regiments and battalions are given. Officers of
colonel rank and above are on a consolidated list, grouped by ranks and according to
seniority. In this August list all the artillery brigades, batteries and companies are shown with
their officers and locations. Other lists include Royal Marines, RFC, Staff College graduates
and students, officers on half pay, Colonial regiments, officers attached to the Egyptian
Army, instructors and staff of Army schools, OTCs, senior Warrant Officers and many more.
Indian Army officers are shown in a consolidated list by ranks as well as by regiments. This

Despite the title the West Yorks came into existence in June 1685 at the time of the
Monmouth Rebellion and, as then was the practice, was known after the man who raised it,
Sir Edward Hales. Of immediate interest is the establishment of the regiment as at January
1686 showing the rates of pay for each rank and the numbers authorised, and the Regimental
Roll of officers in 1687, the earliest roll that can be found. Hales unfortunately picked the
wrong side in 1688 by supporting James II against William of Orange and ended up in the
Tower; he was replaced by William Beveridge, appointed by the Prince of Orange who, in
February 1689 was crowned William III with his consort Queen Mary. In 1692 the regiment
went on active service for the first time, joining the army in Flanders where it gained its first
battle honour - Namur 1695. In 1751 with the introduction of the system of foot numbers the
regiment became the 14th Regiment of Foot. and a few years later, in 1764, King George III
directed their badge should be the White Horse of Hanover.
Following the decision to affiliate regiments to counties to improve recruiting the regiment
was, in 1782, styled the Fourteenth, or Bedfordshire Regiment of Foot , changed some
twenty-five years later to Buckinghamshire; it wasnt till the reforms of 1881 that the
regiment became the West Yorks. A second battalion was formed in 1804 and between them
they served in wars and expeditions across the globe, all carefully described. Lists of officers

Some time ago I read of an officer of the old 52nd who used to strop his razor fifty-two times
every morning before shaving. In1881, when the Cardwell reforms took effect, the 52nd were
linked with the 43rd. The officer concerned still stropped his razor fifty-two times but when
he reached forty-three he turned his head to one side and spat. It is doubtful the author had
ever heard this story because his version of the amalgamation speaks of brotherhood between
the two regiments.
Sir Henry Newbolt was a well-known literary figure of his time, poet, novelist, historian (he
wrote the last two volumes of the Official Naval History) and very much a patriot. In this
book he tells the story of both regiments from their formation to the end of 1914. Each
chapter covers a specific period and the fortunes of the regiments during those periods are
described five of the fifteen chapters are devoted to the Peninsular War. The 43rd was raised
in 1741, at first as the 54th but this was changed in 1751 and in 1782 it became the
Monmouthshires. The 52nd was raised in 1755, also as the 54th, but this number, too, was
changed within a couple of years and in 1782 it became the Oxfordshire Regiment. The
eventual union of these two regiments seems to have been pre-destined for not only did they
begin life with the same Foot number, they served together in the American War of
Independence; in 1803 they were both redesignated Light Infantry under General Moore; in
1807 they went together on the Copenhagen expedition; they fought together through th...For

name. In 1744 there were two Colonel Howards Regiments on active service in the War of

Sir Archibald Murray went to France in August 1914 as Chief of Staff to Field Marshal Sir

Fusiliers, he was commanding the 2nd Infantry Division in Aldershot when war broke out, a
post he relinquished to Major-General Monro on 5 August, the day of mobilization, to join
HQ BEF as CGS. At the front he suffered a stress-related breakdown, was replaced in
January 1915 and went home where he was first appointed DCIGS and later, in September
1915, CIGS. In a general shuffle at the end of 1915 he was again replaced by the man who
had succeeded him as CGS, Sir William Robertson, and in January 1916 he became C in C of

This is a very good history by one who is also the author of several regimental histories of the
Great War. Cyril Falls regarded the 7th Division as one of the greatest fighting formations
Britain ever sent to war. It landed initially in Zeebrugge in October 1914 as part of a force
intended to relieve Antwerp, but almost immediately moved down to Ypres where it joined
the main BEF. It fought in many of the major battles on the Western Front before being sent
to Italy at the end of 1917 where it saw out the war. There are a number of useful appendices
giving order of battle information with all changes in units, commanders and staff. Tables of
casualties by units are given in the text for each major battle in which the division was
involved; altogether the division suffered 68,000 casualties, among the highest recorded for
any division. No list of honours and awards other than VCs. Plenty of sketch maps are very
helpful in illustrating the actions being described.
According to the dedication The Regiment was raised in 1759 in honour of General Wolfe
who, in that same year, had died in the moment of victory over the French of wounds
received at Quebec on the Plains of Abraham. This history takes the story of the 17th
Lancers from 1759 to 1894. Originally designated 18th Light Dragoons the number was
changed to 17th in 1763, to 3rd three years later and back to 17th three years after that.
Finally, in 1822 the designation Light Dragoons was changed to Lancers.
For the first fifteen or so years of its existence the Regiment served at home, six years of that
time in Ireland from where, in 1775, they embarked for Boston, the first cavalry regiment
selected for service in America and where it first saw action in the War of Independence.
Eight years later, 1783, the Regiment returned to Ireland. There followed a short spell (two
years) in the West Indies and in 1806/7 the Regiment took part in the ill-fated expedition to S
America.They had hardly got back from S America (January 1808) when they were sent off
to India (February 1808) where they served for the next fifteen years during which time they
saw action in the Pindari War which lasted some two years. During its time in India the 17th,
which arrived in Calcutta in 1808 790 strong, lost 26 officers and 796 men from disease and
climatic conditions alone while it had received 929 officers and men in the same period. The
next major campaign was the Crimea in which the Regiment took part in the famous charge
of the Light Brigade; thre...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com

The Official Historians had the benefit of various record collections of maps available to
them at the start of their work in 1920. Sorting and arranging material started much earlier.
Although, following the Armistice, many records were pulped or burned in France because of
the impossibility of shipping them all back and the need to reduce their immense volume to a
manageable quantity, many papers and most war diaries of headquarters, formations and
units, and the annotated maps thereto appended, were untouched by this holocaust. Many
1914-18 records were, however, later destroyed by enemy bombing in 1940. In the 1930s the
Great War historical and other records (including war diaries) of the British Army comprised
1,900 tons and occupied 15 miles of shelving! The Official Historians also used information
supplied after 1918 by their former allies and enemies. The last volumes of the Official
History were not published until after the Second World War.
Drawn for the official series History of the Great War, Military Operations, Other Theatres,
the outline dispositions and situation maps and colour-layered topographical maps represent
in a reduced and simplified form the vast production of British military cartography (over 32
million trench, tactical, strategic and topographical maps) during the years 1914-18.
Providing a powerful and revealing picture of the stages of operations, they were designed to
be used with the text and appendix volumes. Recent reprints of the Official ...For more

he 25th Division (74th, 75th and 76th Brigades) was formed in September 1914, one of
Kitcheners Third New Army divisions, under the command of Major-General F.Ventris (late
Essex), who had retired some five years earlier. He was replaced at the end of May 1915 by
B.J.C Doran (late R Irish Regt), a regular, promoted from command of the 68th Brigade;
prior to that he had commanded the 8th Infantry Brigade in France during the first two
months of the war. The division went to France in September 1915 and a month later the 76th
Brigade was transferred to the 3rd Division in exchange for the 7th Brigade. For the next six
months or so the division was in the Plugstreet/Armentieres sector before moving down to
Vimy Ridge in May 1916, where it was awarded the first of the six VCs it was to win by the
end of the war. Command changed again in June when E.G.T Bainbridge replaced Doran
who was sent back to command a district in Ireland. Thereafter the division fought on the
Somme, at Messines, Third Ypres, in the German offensive of March/April 1918 and finally
on the Aisne in May 1918, with IX Corps under French command. When the division was
taken out of the line in mid-June it had, since February, suffered losses of some 15,500 of
whom 7,500 were missing. At this point the divisional and brigade HQs and the infantry
battalions were sent back to England where the division was reconstituted; it returned to
France in September with another commander, J.R.E Charles, who had taken over in August.
This is reflected in the divisional hist...For more information please visit www.navalmilitary-press.com
The story of the 8th Division began in Southampton when its HQ was set up in the Polygon
Hotel on 19th September 1914. Apart from the Northamptonshire Yeomanry, Wessex
(Territorial) Field Ambulance and the Signal Company, it was an all-regular division, the
infantry battalions coming from overseas garrisons. Its first commander was Major-General
F.J. Davies, a Grenadier, who had come from the post of Director of Staff Duties at the War
Office. Prior to that he had been Haigs Chief of Staff when the latter was GOC Aldershot
Command. In his foreword Earl Haig highlights the fact that despite its unfailing gallantry in
all its efforts, the division was signally unfortunate in its lack of success in the major
offensives in which it took part. This is reflected in the appalling total casualty figure of just
under 64,000 and the fifty pages of honours and awards, including Mention in Despatches,
that constitute one of the appendices. Twelve VCs were won. It is a very good history, well
written and supported by excellent maps. It strikes a balance between detailed descriptions of
the operations in which the division took part and anecdotes and personal experience. Each
major action described is preceded by a review of the situation thus providing a background
to the part played by the division. Appendices include, most usefully, complete order of battle
with names of commanders down to unit level, staffs down to grade three, and all changes; a
table showing sectors occupied with dates of periods spent in the line, actions and casu...For

The Guards Division was formed in France in August 1915, the creation of Kitchener (then S
of S for War), who, after first obtaining the permission of the King, proceeded to form the
division withouTt consulting either the War Office or the C in C of the BEF, Field Marshal
French. The first the latter knew about it was in a letter from Kitchener a month before the
division came into being. It was formed by concentrating the eight Guards battalions already
in France and bringing out from the UK four more, including the recently raised Welsh
Guards, plus a pioneer battalion (4th Coldstream). The artillery (less the howitzer brigade),
two of the three engineer companies and the signal company came from the 16th (Irish)
Division, then still in Ireland; the howitzer brigade came from the 11th (Northern) Division,
left behind in England when that division went to Gallipoli. The remaining divisional troops
came from the UK or from divisions already in France. The first GOC was the Earl of Cavan,
a Grenadier, who was later to command British troops in Italy and, in 1922, become Chief of
the Imperial General Staff.
A month after its formation the division was in action at Loos, suffering just over 2,100
casualties. Thereafter it was seldom out of the fighting - Somme, Passchendaele, Cambrai,
the German March 1918 offensive, Hindenburg Line and the final advance to victory. It lived
up to its name, earning the reputation of one of the finest fighting formations of the war, an
elite. Fifteen VCs were won, and in addition a further seven...For more information please

Michel Ney was born in Saarlouis in 1769 and died in front of a French (royalist) firing squad
on 7 December 1815, six months after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo. He began his
army career in 1788 when on 6th December he enlisted in the 5th Hussars and took his first
step up the ladder that would lead to Marshal when he was promoted brigadier or corporal
on 1st January 1791. A year later he was a sergeant-of-horse and three months after that,
May 1792, a sergeant-major. In that same month war was declared against Austria and so
began the long period of the Wars of the Revolution and the Empire which saw the rise of
Napoleon. Neys chance, too, had come and he made good use of it. He saw his first pitched
battle at Valmy in September 1792, by which time he had become an officer, a sublieutenant, promoted during his first campaign. His promotion thereafter was rapid and within
two years, at the age of twenty-five, he was a Chef de Brigade, equivalent to a colonel. In
May 1801 he met the man who was to have such an influence on his subsequent career,
Napoleon, though he showed no disposition to attach himself to that particular rising star. In
1804 Napoleon restored the rank of Marshal of France and among those promoted to that
rank was Ney. In 1805, as Commander of the 6th Corps of the Grand Army Ney took part in
the campaign of Ulm and Austerlitz. Subsequently, in the war against Prussia his corps
fought at Jena and Friedland. During the Peninsular War his corps was with the Army of
Portugal under Massena with whom he ...For more information please visit www.navalmilitary-press.com
The Highland Division was one of the pre-war Territorial divisions. Its HQ was in Perth
with brigade HQs in Aberdeen, Inverness and Stirling. On mobilization the division moved
down to its war station in Bedford where it remained, carrying out training till embarking for
France in May 1915. During this period six of its battalions were sent to France, three in
November 1914 and three in the following March, replaced by two Highland battalions and a
brigade of four Lancashire battalions; it is not clear whether the latter were required to wear
kilts. They were transferred to the 55th (West Lancashire) Division when that division
reformed in France in January 1916 and were replaced, appropriately, by Scottish battalions.
It was in May 1915, just as the division arrived in France, that it was designated 51st and the
brigades 152nd, 153rd and 154th; by the end of the war the 51st (Highland) Division had

Hanway Robert Cumming was commissioned into the Durham Light Infantry (DLI) in 1889
and saw active service during the South African War. He was in a staff appointment in India
in August 1914 and did not arrive in France till June 1915 where he again held staff
appointments until August 1916 when he took command of 2nd DLI. In November 1916 he
was appointed to command of the 91st Brigade, 7th Division, a post he held till May 1917
when, during the Battle of Bullecourt he was summarily dismissed by the divisional
commander (Shoubridge) and went home on leave, under protest as he describes in the book
(less than a month later he was awarded the DSO in the 1917 Birthday Honours!). From
August 1917 to the following February he commanded the MG Corps Training Centre at
Grantham and then, in March 1918 he went back to France to command the 110th Brigade,
21st Division where he stayed to the end of the war. After the war, while commanding the
Kerry Brigade in Ireland he was murdered, on 6th March 1921.
This book is concerned with his two periods as a brigade commander, and as battlefield
reminiscences of officers at that level are not all that common, it is a record of special
interest. The greater part of the book deals with his command of the 110th Brigade which he
took over less than a week before the German Spring offensive, which is dealt with in detail,
as is the May offensive in Champagne in which 21st Division was one of the five British
divisions fighting under French command, and then the final allied counter-offensive. In ...

There were many memorial books published after the Great War, most dedicated to specific
colleges, professions or vocations. A number of them are works of art as well as being most
informative and they often contain biographical information not readily found elsewhere.
Some include all who served and not just those who perished. In most instances a quality
photograph of each casualty is included. Almost all these volumes are long out of print and
Naval & Military Press plan to republish selected tomes over the next few years.
This volume is rather different to the majority in that it covers more than one war memorial.
It is a lavishly illustrated book covering the majority of British Public Schools whose pupils
made the supreme sacrifice. In this instance it is the memorials, that are in many guises, from
plaques to plinths and crosses to chapels, rather than the fallen, which are featured.
Various public schools, colleges, universities, and institutions hosted squadrons of cavalry
and companies of infantry. They were to play a vital roll in the training and supply of the
thousands of fresh officers required to meet the national emergency. Most progressed to the
New Armies and Special Reserve of officers after receiving their commissions.
This book lists over 13,000 men who passed through the Corps for officer training. A typical
entry will give the full name, the date he joined (as an other rank), his number, unit and final
rank within the Corps, where he was transferred to (e.g. Officer Cadet Battalion), the date and
Regiment he was commissioned to and subsequent service with some detail. Reference is
also made as to whether he was wounded, gassed or killed, as are his honours and awards. A
veritable mine of information.
A very rare and long out of print large volume from 1920 summarising the service of
these men from the legal profession. A typical entry shows when admitted to the Bar,
where and with whom practising. It shows the progression through the armed service
and gives the dates of promotion and transfer. Awards are included. Summary
information regarding wounds, capture or death is also given.

friends) and lent to the Admiralty, Motor Yacht Yvonne, and served in Royal Navy

FORTY-ONE YEARS IN INDIA:

From Salbaltern to Commander-inChief
Field Marshall Earl Roberts of Kandahar
Received knowledge has it that the Indian Mutiny was the result of the greased cartridge
which appeared at the beginning of 1857, but in truth trouble was simmering among the
Bengal Army native soldiers well before, and the cartridges were used as a catalyst.
Conspirators spread the news that the new cartridge was smeared with the fat of a pig or a
cow, the one hateful to the Mohammedans the other the sacred animal of the Hindus. In fact
the cartridges had not even been issued to the men before the revolt, but the rumours had
been well spread by the trouble makersand had caused serious discontent. Even the main
players in the Mutiny such as Sir John Lawrence failed to detect the root causes. In this book
the author, an accomplished military historian with special knowledge of India, seeks to
explain what was really behind the violent uprising., based on personal knowledge and
personal observation. In January 1856 Sir James Outram crossed the Ganges and, on behalf
of the British East india Company, annexed the territory of Oudh and deposed its king. This,
Malleson noted and reported to his superiors, caused considerable anger among his sepoys
and he foresaw this would spread; he was laughed out of court. Further factors were the
abysmal terms of service, poor pay and lack of promotion prospects (promotion was based on
seniority, merit counted for nothing and this was still the case even among British officers in
1914). These first few chapters tracing the origins and the spread of unrest leading to the
storm are well worth read...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com

While I was delivering the order, a round shot passed through my horse, close to the
saddle, and rolled us over; while on the ground another canon shot passed through him. A
sergeant of artillery ran to extricate me; he had just lifted from under the horse, and I was
in the act of steadying myself on his shoulder, when a shot carried off his thigh and he fell
back on me....This is a scene describes a narrow escape for Hamley during the bloody battle
of Inkerman.
The author of this remarkable book, a Gunner officer, served on the Artillery Staff, first as
Adjutant to the First Division field artillery and then as ADC to the Commander Royal
Artillery throughout the siege of Sevastopol, and as such he was well placed to make this
record of the campaign. As he says in the introduction it was not his intention to indulge in
fanciful rhetoric but to give a round, unvarnished tale. All was written in camp when he was
off duty, in a tent or in a hut, and his descriptions of the fighting and the aftermath paint a
grim and often gruesome picture. Disease and sickness ravaged the army; in December 1854
and January 1855 the sick returns amounted to 14,000. The pictures he paints, in his matterof-fact narrative, reflect some appalling sights of the dead and dying on the battlefields. He
takes us through the Alma, Inkerman, Balaklava to the fall of Sevastopol in September 1855
which was the prelude to the peace talks a few months later. The siege of Sevastopol lasted a
year and cost the British some 11,000 casualties, the French 12,0...For more information

The spelling Baloch in the title is the first time I have come across it, the usual spelling, in
use since the beginning of the last century, is Baluch (ch is soft, as in church). The 1st
Battalion is descended from the 2nd Marine Battalion of the 12th Bombay Native Infantry
Regiment, raised in 1820. Four more battalions were formed over the next forty years, three
of them designated Belooch battalions but by 1901 all had become Baluch regiments of the
Bombay Native Infantry, numbered 24th, 26th, 27th, 29th and 30th. In his reforms of 1903
Kitchener removed all references to former presidential affiliations (Bengal, Madras and
Bombay) and renumbered all regiments in one sequence; the Bombay regiments numbers all
had 100 added to their designations, thus the Baluch regiments became 124th, 126th etc. It
should be said that the Bombay regiments were hardly touched by the Mutiny of 1857, only
two out of more than thirty regiments mutinied (neither of them Baluch).
All five regiments were on active service during the Great War - on the Western Front, in
Egypt, Palestine , Mesopotamia and Persia. The 129th was the only one to go to France with
the Indian Corps where one of its soldiers, Khudadad Khan, had the distinction of being the
first Indian soldier to be awarded the VC, in October 1914. This history traces the history of
the regiment and its battalions across two hundred years, its battles and campaigns. The
author was commissioned into the regiment in 1958, more than ten years after the foundation

A BIBLIOGRAPHY of
REGIMENTAL HISTORIES of the
BRITISH ARMY.
by Arthur S White.
For fourteen years, as Missions to Seamen Chaplain for the Downs, the author of this book
saw much of the Deal boatmen. For ten years he was also the Honorary Secretary of the
Royal National Lifeboat Institution for the Goodwin Sands and Downs Branch. He joined the
three lifeboats afloat at night and in storm, that are stationed right opposite the treacherous
Goodwin Sands, at Deal, Walmer, and Kingsdown. With these opportunities of observation,
he has written accurate accounts of a few of the brave rescues effected on those infamous
sands by the boatmen he knows so well. Each case is authenticated by names and dates; the
position of the wrecked vessel is exactly given, and the handling and manoeuvring of the
lifeboat accurately described, from a sailors point of view. The descriptions of the sea - of
Nature in some of her most tremendous aspects, of the breakers on the Goodwins - and of the
stubborn courage of the men who man our lifeboats still fall short of the reality. Each incident
occurred as it is related, and is factually correct. The Deal boatmen are almost as mute as the
fishes of the sea respecting their own deeds of daring and mercy on the Goodwin Sands. It is
but justice to those humble heroes of the Kentish coast that an attempt should have been
made to tell some part of their brave story.
This is one of the most valuable books in the armoury of the serious student of British
Military history. It is a new and revised edition of Arthur Whites much sought-after
bibliography of regimental, battalion and other histories of all regiments and Corps that have
ever existed in the British Army. This new edition includes an enlarged addendum to that
given in the 1988 reprint. It is, quite simply, indispensible.

The title on the cover is different to that on the title page which reads: An Officers Letters to

daughter, Mrs W.J.Tait who has written a lengthy biographical introduction described as a
memoir. During the Great War Rowland Feilding wrote the classic War Letters To A Wife,
this is the Crimean War equivalent. General Kelly was born in March 1815 and in 1834 was
gazetted to the 49th Foot (Royal Berkshire). During the Crimean War he commanded the
34th Foot (Border Regiment) was wounded and taken prisoner at Sebastopol. These letters
begin with a description of the voyage out to the Crimea and go on to describe in some detail
his experiences in and out of battle, a remarkable picture of that dreadful campaign.
This book describes the first VC Investiture in Hyde Park in June 1857 and also the origins of
the Crimean War.There are very brief accounts of VC actions in the Indian Mutiny (pages
196-262) and in the Zulu War, particularly Rorkes Drift (pages 263-288).

This is one of the classic memoirs of the Great War, written by an officer of the 2nd Battalion
the Leinster Regiment, who joined his battalion in the trenches in May 1915 and served with
them to the end of the war. It is a truly memorable account and a great tribute to the soldiers
from the South of Ireland, for the Leinsters were one of the five infantry regiments from
Southern Ireland that formed part of the British Army; they were disbanded in July 1922. It is
a vivid account, supported by some wonderful sketches and examples of the spirit and
humour of the Irish soldier. This is one of the best of its kind that I have read.

Amiens was occupied by the Germans for only twelve days in 1914, from 31st August till
12th September when the French reoccupied the town. Thereafter it remained safe behind the
lines till the German final offensive of Spring 1918 brought them almost to the gates, but they
failed to capture the town. It was from here on 8th August 1918, the black day for the
German army, that the allied offensive that led to victory was launched. The first few pages

After a short historical introduction about the origin of Soissons and chief events there
follows a brief account of the town during the war. It was occupied in September 1914 by the
Germans but were soon driven out. However they continued to hold the line on the northern
outskirts, in effect besieging the place. It wasnt until October 1917 that they were forced to
withdraw, only to return in May 1918 during their final offensive. The French counteroffensive in July finally cleared the Germans out for good. The first few pages give a brief
account of Soissons during the Great War, the rest of the book provides a guided tour of the
town with descriptions and photos of places worth visiting - with town plans giving

The first 46 pages of this book give an account of the fighting in the Ypres salient throughout
the war, beginning with the First battle of Ypres in which the regulars and reservists of the
BEF withstood every effort made by the Germans to take Ypres. The battles are described in
fair detail, highlighting the French part in the fighting, and there are good, clear maps to
support the narrative. The next fifty pages are devoted to a two-day visit to the battlefield
with Lille as the starting point, describing what is to be seen en route, again with good
supporting maps. In outline the itinerary takes the visitor along the route Lille - Armentieres Messines - Poelcapelle - Ypres - Poperinghe on the first day. The next day carries on from
Poperinghe - Les Monts - Bailleul - Bethune and back to Lille. Finally there is another tour in
an area having nothing to do with Ypres, that is a visit to the Arras battlefield, from Arras Lens - Douai and back to Arras. This is an interesting account of the battlefields, written so
soon after the events they describe.

The first tour covers Verdun to Commercy, via Calonne trench, Eparges, Apremont Forest,
Ailly Wood and St Mihiel, including a visit to the latter. The next trip goes from Commercy
to Metz, via Pont a Mousson and including a visit to Pretre Wood where there was heavy
fighting from Sep 1914 to May 1915 when it finally passed into French hands and remained
there. It ends with a tour of Metz. The third tour runs from Metz to Verdun via Etain, the
main place of interest visited on this leg which does not take in the Verdun battlefield. Good

periods of action, officers by name, other ranks by totals. Gallantry awards are also described
in the text with recipients named. Details of drafts joining the battalions are also given as they

When war broke out the 1st Battalion was stationed in Fermoy, Ireland, part of 16th Brigade,
6th Division, which arrived in France, the last of the original six regular divisions to do so, in
the first half of September 1914, and joined the BEF on the Aisne. The battalion remained on
the Western Front in 6th Division for the whole of the war. It fought at First Ypres, Hooge,
the Somme, Hill 70, Cambrai and during the German offensives of 1918 it was in action at St
Quentin, Bailleul, Kemmel and the Scherpenberg; during the final advance to victory it took
part in various actions. Total dead amounted to 41 officers 987 other ranks. After the war the
battalion served in BAOR and in 1920 it was sent to Athlone, S Ireland, at the time of the

beginning with the years between the wars with the 1st Battalion in India, where it was in
action on the NW Frontier, and the 2nd Battalion, after a couple of years in Rhine Army, at
home till 1938 when it was sent to Palestine. In 1936 the 4th (TA) Battalion was converted to
AA, becoming 44th (The Leicestershire Regiment) AA Battalion RE equipped with
searchlights, while the 5th Battalion, as in the Great War, formed a second-line battalion, in
May 1939, thus giving 1/5th and 2/5th Battalions.
The bulk of the book is taken up with WWII and the parts played by the various battalions. It
takes the campaigns in which the regiment was involved on a chronological basis describing
the operations undertaken by whichever battalion was there. The last four chapters deal with
the post-war period, mainly the 1st Battalion in Hong Kong, Korea, BAOR, the Sudan and
Cyprus where the story ends.The regiments part in WWII begins with the 1/5th in that shortlived and ill-fated campaign in Norway in April 1940, following which the battalion was
converted to a pre-OCTU training unit in the UK. 2/5th, which was in 46th North Midland

Garnet Joseph Wolseley (1833-1913) was born in Dublin, the eldest son of a Major in the
25th Foot ( Kings Own Scottish Borderers). He was commissioned into the 12th Foot, later
the Suffolk Regiment, in 1852 and from the point of view of his future career he was
fortunate to see plenty of active service in his early years - Second Burma War, Crimea,
Indian Mutiny and Second China War. He was in Canada for the better part of ten years and
in 1870 he was given command of the Red River expedition; this period in Canada enhanced
his reputation considerably. He was very much involved in furthering the aims of the
Cardwell reforms of 1871-73. He commanded the expedition to Ashanti in 1873, went to S
Africa to restore the position after Isandhlwana . The first part of this memoir which covered
his career to 1878 was published in that year, this updated or second edition again covers
that period and continues the story to the end of the 1882 expedition to Egypt to relieve

The author of this book needs no introduction as the one who wrote the monumental History
of the British Army which to this day remains one of the greatest masterpieces in the field of
military history. It covers a period of great crisis in Britains history, the threat posed by
Napoleon and is an account of recruiting in the Army during this period with all its
difficulties and problems. In preparing this book the author draws on all the official records,
returns, journals he can trace and which bear upon the problem. Fortescue calls this an
overflow from his History, and with the encouragement (financial and otherwise) of the
Secretary of State for War he turns what might have otherwise been thirty-page document
into a detailed study ten times as long. Beginning with the desperate state the military forces
had been brought to during the period 1784 to 1792 by the neglect of Pitt, he takes through
the efforts to build up not just an army, but a very large army to back up his foreign policy.
The county was a vital cog in the recruiting machine of those days of the Regular Army,
Volunteers and Militia and the role of the Lords Lieutenant of those counties was of equal
importance. There are a number of interesting tables of statistics for those twelve years:casualties year on year with a high point of 21,630 in 1809, during the Peninsular War;
recruits for the regular army totalling 115,967 men plus 18,349 boys; effective strengths by
arm of service; effective strengths of Volunteers in Great Britain and in Ireland an...For more

one or two lines constitute the entry, in other cases there are several pages (Earl St Vincent
takes ten pages). They are set out on a year by year basis, and within each year the names are

The 4th (TA) Battalion, the Leicestershire Regiment, was in Leicester when war broke out,
part of the Lincoln & Leicester Brigade (later 138th) North Midland Division (later 46th).
The division embarked for France in February 1915, the first territorial divison to arrive on
the Western Front where it remained for the rest of the war. This account is written primarily
for those who served or whose relatives served in the battalion, which is a good thing as we
get plenty of names and the details of daily life in the trenches. A feature of the book is the
brevity of each chapter - 157 pages of text (the 158th page is an R.I.P) and forty-three
chapters which gives an average of 3.6 pages per chapter (some are only two pages). Each
chapter deals with some aspect of the battalions service at the front - an action, a raid, a spell
in the trenches in various sectors, periods out of the line and so on. The first major action
was at Hohenzollern Redoubt in the closing days of the Loos offensive, during the battalion
attack on 13 October 1915 all the officers who took part became casualties; the total cost was
20 officers and 453 other ranks and of this total just over 200 were killed or died of wounds
(13 of them officers). This action was a shattering blow, described as the end of the chapter,
for the old battalion had to be rebuilt, and it was a month before it went back into the line.
The highlight of the divisions operations during the course of the war was the crossing of the
St Quentin Canal on 29 September 1918 and breaking ...For more information please visit
This battalion history, based essentially on the War Diary supplemented by contributions
from various battalion members; it is a far more detailed one than that of the 1/4th. The
battalion, which had its HQ in Loughborough, was also in the Lincoln and Leicester Brigade
of the 46th (N Midland) Division. It arrived in France on 28 February 1915 and the first few
months were spent in the Armentieres sector and the Salient before moving south to the Loos
battlefield. During the attack on the Hohenzollern Redoubt, which decimated the 1/4th, the
battalion was fortunately in reserve; it was a day that caused 46th Division the highest
number of casualties of any day of the war - 3,583.
There is plenty of meat in this history, detailed accounts of actions and events in and out of
the trenches, names of officers and other ranks, list of honours and awards - but again no
index. There was a moment of excitement when the division was was ordered to Egypt and
began to move at the end of December 1915. The battalion (with 1/4th Battalion) embarked at
Marseille on 21 January 1916 in the Cunarder Andania, described as a floating palace,
only to be told the next morning to disembark; the powers that be had changed their minds
and the division went back to the trenches. In the fighting at the approaches to the St Quentin
Canal, 2Lt J.C Barrett won the VC for gallantry during the battalion attack on Pontruet on 24
September 1918. By the end of the war the battalion had suffered 440 dead of whom 25 were
officers. A good history!
This is the story of the 2nd London Division, which was numbered 47 in May 1915 when the
TF divisions were allocated numbers. The history of the 56th (1st London) Division has
already been reprinted by N & M Press. The 47th left for France in March 1915, the second

was dismissed and sent home two weeks later, charged with wanton waste of men. He was
subsequently exonerated and knighted, though his demands for an official enquiry were

The 50th (Northumbrian) Division was a pre-war Territorial (TF) division which recruited
from Northumberland, Durham and the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire. The infantry
battalions came from the Northumberland Fusiliers, East Yorks, Green Howards and Durham
Light Infantry. The division crossed to France on 16 April 1915 and by 23 April it had
completed its concentration in the area of Steenvoorde, about 14 miles west of Ypres; the
next day it was in action at St Julien during the German gas attacks and by the end of 4 May,
the day after the battle of St Julien ended, it had suffered 3746 casualties. The division had
been given no period of acclimatisation which was given to all other divisions on arrival on
the Western Front.
The division remained in the Ypres area till August 1916 when it moved down to the Somme,
to III Corps, where it took part in the battles of Flers-Courcelette, Morval and the Transloy
Ridges with losses of just over 4,000. The Somme offensive ended on 18 November 1916,
but the division remained in that area till March 1917 when it moved up to the Arras sector
where preparations were underway for a new offensive by Allenbys Third Army, which 50
Division now joined. It took part in First and Second Scarpe and the capture of Wancourt
Ridge at a cost of 2750 casualties during the two weeks 11to 24 April. The division did not
enter the Third Ypres campaign till late in October 1917, in time to fight the Second Battle of
Passchendaele from 26 October to the end of the offensive on 10 November.When the Ger...
Of the six pre-war regular divisions only two, 2nd and 5th, published a detailed history of
their part in the Great War. The 2nd Division landed in France with the original BEF as part
of I Corps (Haig) between 11 and 16 August 1914. It was not directly engaged at Mons and
such casualties as were sustained (10 killed 80 wounded) were from artillery fire. During the
retreat it was engaged at Landrecies (4th Guards Brigade) and Villers Cotterets but its first
major battles were at the Marne and the Aisne, and subsequently it fought in all the battles of
First Ypres. During the three months September to the end of November 1914 it suffered
some 8,500 casualties. At the end of 1914 the division moved south to the Bethune sector
where it remained throughout 1915, still in I Corps. It was at Festubert, Loos and the
Hohenzollern Redoubt, which in all cost almost 9,000 casualties. In February 1916 it moved
down to the Vimy sector in IV Corps where it stayed till July; the next move was to the
Somme. Here the division had a protracted spell, till March 1917, during which time it was in
action at Delville Wood, Guillemont and the Ancre incurring nearly 8,000 casualties. The 2nd
was one of the few divisions not involved Third Ypres (July-November 1917) but it had
earlier taken part in the April/May Arras offensive and later, in November/December, in the
Battle of Cambrai. Throughout 1918 the division was in the line for much of the time, in the
German offensive and in the Advance to Victory; its final action was the Battle of the Selle...
The 19th (Western) Division, known as the Butterflies from its divisional sign, an openwinged butterfly, began to assemble on Salisbury Plain in September 1914, one of the
divisions of Kitcheners Second New Army. It sailed for France in July 1915 and came under
command of the Indian Corps, and at the end of August took over its first sector of line,
Givenchy to Festubert, from the 7th Division. The divisions first major taste of action was
the battle of Loos, and although only one of its brigades was fully committed the overall
casualties amounted to some 2,000. The division was at the Somme for the early battles of
the offensive, its great achievement was the capture of La Boisselle after intensive fighting
during the period 2 - 5 July. It was here that 34th Division had suffered the highest casualties
of any division on the first day, 1 July, in a vain attempt to take the village. The cost to the
19th Division was around 3,500 and today their memorial stands in front of the village
church. It was in this action their first VCs were awarded - three of them. In March 1917 the
division made its first appearance on the Ypres front and in June distinguished itself at
Messines, earning the congratulations of the Army Commander, Plumer. It remained in the
salient throughout Third Ypres, its main effort being at the Menin Road battle, 20 - 25
September when its losses numbered just under 2,000. The division was again heavily
involved in the German 1918 offensive, on the Somme, the Lys and down on the Aisne

The Rifle Brigade was formed in 1800 by detachments from various regiments as the
Experimental Corps of Riflemen initially and then Rifle Corps. It was under this name
that the new regiment first made its mark under Nelson in the following year at the Battle of
Copenhagen. In 1803 it was designated the 95th (Rifle) Regiment and in 1816, after
Waterloo, it was taken out of the numbered regiments of the line and styled The Rifle
Brigade.
In this first part the author, who served in the regiment, traces the evolution of the Rifle
Corps with the advent of the rifle, which replaced the musket, and its effect on tactics. The
two principal architects of this new Corps were Colonel Coote Manningham who brought it
into existence, and Lt Col William Stewart who organized and trained it. Dress, drill,
equipment and armament all feature and the important period spent at Shorncliffe when Sir
John Moore, the father of the Light Brigade, commanded the garrison; he was then regarded
as the best trainer of troops England has ever possessed. The first taste of action came with
the Ferrol Expedition in 1800 which had the destruction of the Spanish base. The
Experimental Corps of Riflemen contributed detachments numbering 170 under the
command of Stewart. They were first ashore on 25th August and it was the only corps in
action on that day, which henceforth was celebrated as the birthday of the Regiment. During
the next nine years covered in this book the regiment served on many fronts - Copenhagen,
Germany, Monte Video, Buenos...For more information please visit www.naval-militarypress.com
The author begins with a very interesting account of the development of rifle fire in the
British Army between 1800 and 1815 and describes various European rifle corps,
sharpshooters and light infantry that served in British (60th Rifles, later KRRC) and
continental armies. The uniform of rifle green with black facings was probably inspired by
the dress of continental riflemen. It was certainly a change from the scarlet of the other
regiments and that and the uniqueness of the regiment proved quite a draw for recruits to
make good the losses following withdrawal from Portugal in 1809. On 10th May 1809 the
strength of the 1st Battalion was 1,536 and the 2nd 1,579 and so a 3rd Battalion was formed.
The unfortunate 2nd Battalion was involved in the Walcheren expedition August to
December 1809 and when our troops evacuated the place battle deaths had amounted to 111,
deaths from disease numbered over 4,000.
But the main subject in this volume is the Peninsular War in which the regiment played a
very active part from beginning to end. All three battalions were involved and seventeen
Battle Honours were awarded, the highest number for any regiment in that campaign. The
descriptions of operations are in detail, supported by superb maps. Throughout his account
the author draws upon contemporary sources, official correspondence, despatches, reports,
letters, diaries, reminiscences and on the work of such historians as Fortescue and Oman. In a
separate appendix Verner discusses the sources upon which his account is based.

This is a regimental history with a difference, one that is bound up with the history of the
British Empire in Africa and the extension and development of British rule in the territories
of Somaliland, British East Africa (redesignated Kenya from July 1920), Uganda, Nyasaland
and, after 1918, Tanganyika (previously German East Africa). These were the territories that
were the recruiting grounds for the KAR to which officers from the British Army were
seconded - there were no permanent commissions in the KAR unlike the Indian Army which
had its own officer structure. No regiment has ever been more intimately connected with the
territory through which it marched and fought, or with the peoples from which it was
recruited. It was a unique regiment. The author has arranged the book in five parts: The
Campaigns of the Early Regiments; The Consolidation of the Regiment, 1901-1914; The East
Africa Campaign, 1914-1918; Internal Security and Reorganization 1914-1939; and The War
of 1939-1945.
The story begins with the political background to the British administration in East and
Central Africa up to the close of the nineteenth century. During the last decade of that century
three regiments were formed which were the forerunners of the K.A.R - The Central African
Regiment, The Uganda Rifles and the East African Rifles. These saw action in various
expeditions and campaigns, in Mauritius, Somaliland, The Ashanti War, The Gambia
Expedition, Expeditions against the Nandi and others. On 1 January 1902 the Kings African

THE BOND OF SACRIFICE: Vol I

August - December 1914. A
Biographical Record of British Officers
who Fell in the Great War
This medal, which was issued in silver only, was instituted in 1881.Almost all of these
medals were issued with one or more clasps, only about 10 being issued unclasped.The
reverse design shows the arms of Cape Colony.Some 5,200 were issued in all for three
risings, each commemorated by a clasp.That for Transkei, the rarest of the three, was
awarded for operations during a small rising in Tembuland and Griqualand East in 1880-81.
The clasp for Basutoland was awarded for service in the more extensive operations in that
area, several major engagements taking place. The last clasp, that for Bechuanaland, was
awarded, after a lapse of 16 years from the first two clasps, for an uprising amongst several
tribes.The fighting took place in 1896-97, and it was only by the employment of considerable
forces that the natives were defeated.It is worth noting that, apart from 15 British troops, all
the awards of this medal were to colonial units, many of which were small.The total issue for
each clasp is approximately: Transkei- 1,070; Basutoland - 2,150; Bechuanaland - 2,580.
Only 23 medals were issued with all three clasps and medals with two clasps are very scarce.
The naming is in thin, faint block capitals, and the ribbon is of dark blue with a central
yellow stripe.
This medal, issued by the Natal Government, was awarded to those who took part in the
oeprations against the Zulus in 1906.The medal itself is unusual in that the obverse head of
Edward VII faces to the right instead of the left, the first medal to do so.The reverse design
shows the figures of Natlaia and Britannia.Some 10,000 of these medals were issued, about
20,000 being without clasp.The Natal Government refused the help of the Imperial
Government in putting down the rebellion, and thus the medal was only awarded to Colonial
troops.The rebellion began in February 1906, when the Zulus refused to pay hut tax and
murdered two policemen.The authorities acted quickly and arrested several chiefs, and fines
were imposed.The threatened rising seemed to have been averted, but in April 1906 Bambata
led a serious rising, and Greytown and Eshowe were besieged by the rebels.Troops were
quickly raised in the Transvaal and Natal, and several columns entered Zululand, pursuing
the rebels into the forest.By early July the revolt had been crushed and, as with the Riel
Rebellion of 1885 in Canada, a colony had proved quite capable of defending itself without
the use of Imperial troops.The medal was awarded to all those who served for twenty days or
more during operations, whilst those who served for fifty days or more received the medal
with clasp.This medal is named in thin block capitals to men and engraved in running script
to officers.The ribbon is of crimson with black edges.
The first volume of a projected series to record the names of the fallen.This first volume
covers the first four months of the war with a potted biography of each officer accompanied

THE FIFTH IN THE GREAT WAR. A
History of the 1st & 2nd
Northumberland Fusiliers, 1914-1918
The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers (RNF) became Royal in 1935 on the occasion of the
Silver Jubilee of George V. In 1937, in a reorganisation of the army the RNF was one of four
regiments to be converted to a Machine-gun regiment, the other three were the Cheshire,
Middlesex and Manchester Regiments. When war broke out the regiment consisted of the
two Regular battalions and eight Territorial Army battalions in varying roles - the 4th to 9th
and two tank battalions 43rd and 49th Royal Tank Regiment) formed from the 6th Battalion;
two more battalions,10th and 70th, described as non-Field Force, were formed in October
1939 and September 1940. In contrast, in the Great War there were 51 battalions. The Roll of
Honour lists 895 dead (16,000 in WWI), two VCs were awarded and 29 Battle Honours (5
and 67 in the previous war). Between them the battalions served in France (1939/40), N
Africa, Singapore, Italy, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, NW Europe (1944/45), India and Greece.
Although officially a machine-gun regiment during the period 1937 to 1945, some battalions
of the RNF were given other roles, in some cases permanently, in others temporarily, e.g., the
5th became a Search Light regiment RA, the 8th Battalion a Reconnaissance battalion. All
these changes are made clear as the narrative proceeds.
Despite the title the book takes the history from the end of the Great War and describes the
period between wars. In general it is set out in chronological order, although there is some
departure from this in detail. This is due partly ...For more information please visit www.

1690 the title became the Royal Regiment of Dragoons. In 1751 the designation changed
again, to the 1st (Royal) Dragoons and in May 1961 it became The Royal Dragoons (1st
Dragoons). Finally, in 1969 it joined the Household Cavalry by amalgamating with the Royal
Horse Guards (The Blues) and becoming The Blues and Royals.
This history gives an account of the Regiment from 1661 to October 1886 during which time
it served with distinction in many campaigns from Tangier to the Crimea and Egypt (1884
-85). At Waterloo the Regiment captured one of the two French Eagles taken that day, the
other one was taken by the 2nd Dragoons, The Royal Scots Greys. The Regiment also took
part in the charge of the Heavy Brigade at Balaklava, a very brief but very successful affair
though less well known than the charge of the Light Brigade. Although the Royals did not
serve in India nor in the East they saw plenty of action at home (the Monmouth Rebellion,
the Boyne, the Jacobites) and on the continent - the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and the
Peninsula; ten battle honours had been awarded by the time this account comes to a close. To
finish there are biographical notes of all twenty Colonels of the Regiment followed by a
most comprehensive 45-page index.
The 6th Dragoons took part in the operations at Colesburg, Relief of Kimberley and pursuit
of Cronje. Following the fall of Pretoria the regiment took part in General Frenchs drive

Price: 24.95
The Regiment was raised on 11 June 1685 by Lord Dartmouth under the authority of King
James II (commissioning letter is reproduced in the book). Equipped with an improved kind
of musket, called a Fusil, it was regarded superior to the other line regiments with special
duties at the Tower as reflected in its title the Ordnance Regiment. It was also referred to by
the king as Our Royal Regiment of Fuziliers and that name has stuck ever since. This record
covers the period from the raising of the Regiment to 1875 and it is highly unusual in its
arrangement in that it consists of a year-by-year account; there is no contents list, there are
no chapters, it simply starts in 1685 and forges ahead with an account of the regiments
fortunes each year thereafter. Some entries are models of brevity, 1716-1717 for example
simply notes The regiment continued at Minorca - thats two years service accounted for in
five words. Other years, however, such as those covering the Peninsular War, are pages long
and some descriptions reveal the ferocity of the fighting. An eyewitness of the 2nd Battalion
in action at Talavera records:- Some of the little enclosures in front of the right of the British
[2 RF] were choked with French dead; and in one little field more than four hundred bodies
were counted.
But it is not just the battles. Here is a window onto the history of the British army. Here are

During the period covered by this history, the Royal Irish Regiment fought in Europe, in
Asia, in Africa, in America and in Australasia. Formed in 1684 as the Earl of Granards

fought with great distinction at Namur, in 1695; this was its first Battle Honour. The

Regiment (now consisting of two battalions) was sent to the West Indies where it remained

service in the second Burma war, the Crimea, the Indian Mutiny, the Maori war, the second

This concise regimental history is prefaced bty half a dozen handsome colour plates
showing the regiments colours and uniforms. Raised in 1678 under Charles II, the Royal
Scots saw their first action against their fellow Scots at the battle of Bothwell Bridge. Under
William III theyt fought the French at the battles of Walcourt, Steenkirk and Linden. In the
War of the Spanish Succession under the Duke of Marlbrough they took part in the victories
of Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde, and Malplaquet. Aftyer the Treaty of Utrecht ended the
war, they helped put down the 1715 Jacobite rebellion at the battle of Sherrifmuir. In 1743,
they were again fighting the French at Dettingen - the last battle in which a reigning British
king (George II) took part. They later fought in the battle of Fontenoy, in which France
defeated the British. In 1745 they were hastily recalled from Flanders to put down Prince
Charles Edward Stuarts rebellion, which they helped crush in April 1746 at the battle of
Culloden. They were engaged in the American war of Independence, and subsequently
fought the French in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean., before returning to America
where they took part in the burning of Washington in the War of 1814. After garrison duty in
India and Ireland, the Fusiliers took part in the Crimean War, and were present at the battles
of the Alma, Balaclava, Inkerman and the siege of Sebastopol. In 1879 the 2nd Battalion
helped defeat the Zulus at the battle of Ulundi.
An updated and expanded 1923 edition of a history of the old Thirtieth Regiment, later the
1st East Lancashire Regiment, from its formation in 1689 down to 1881, first published in
1887. The author draws on newly-available material in the Public Record Office, the British
Museum and the Royal United Service Institution to compile this compelling record of one
of the British Armys oldest units. Raised in the year after the Glorious Revolution which
brought William III to the throne, the 30th first saw service in the wars with France that the
King fought in defence of his Duch homeland. It was disbanded, but then promptly raised
again as Marines to fight against France in the War of the Spanish Succession, taking part in
the successful capture and subsequent defence of the Rock of Gibraltar. It continued to serve
in Spain, helping to take Barcelona and Alicante. The 30th helped defeat a French invasion
fleet in the Firth of Forth. It was disbanded a second time, but re-formed to meet the Jacobite
threat, defended Gibraltar again, and was present at Lord Ansons naval victory off
Finisterre. Fighting as Marines, the 30th took part in the expeditions against Rochefort,
Cherbourg and St. Malo (twice). In the American War of Independence it took part in the
Battle of Eutaw Springs and later helped to put down two risings of the black population of
Dominica.

The subtitle makes clear the subject of this book, Some Account of the Royal Sussex
Regiment In South Africa. This is the story of the 1st R Sussex in which the author served
and which arrived in S Africa in April 1900. Du Moulins narrative takes the action up to the
end of December 1900 which he wrote up during a quiet spell while the battalion was
providing the garrison for Lindley but then had to give up when he got command of a
mounted column. He was killed in action at Abrahams Kraal on 28 January 1902 having
gone through the campaign from the advance to Pretoria, to the pursuit of de Wet and, after
de Wet, the pursuit of the broken commandos without a wound or a days sickness. However,
as it had been his intention to write a complete account there were his notes and these,
together with diaries, letters and personal reminiscences of other officers were used to
complete the story, a task undertaken by Capt H.F.Bidder who describes du Moulins death.
In the appendices there is an account of the 13th Mounted Infantry Battalion which included
in its ranks 70 NCOs and men from the R Sussex, and of the 21st Mounted Infantry made up
largely of R Sussex personnel.
The Oxfordshire Light Infantry was one of a number of infantry regiments raised on the eve
of the Seven Years War (1756-1763) and initially numbered 54th Foot; two years later, in
1757, it was renumbered 52nd. In 1782 the line regiments were given territorial affiliations
and the 52nd became the 52nd (Oxfordshire) Regt of Foot. In 1803 it was designated Light
Infantry and its title changed accordingly to that shown in the title of this history. During the

The Suffolks have been fortunate in their choice of authors to record their history of which
this is the third volume, one which maintains the high standard of the earlier two (1685-1913
and 1914-1927). This volume covers all the battalions that existed during WWII, and while
space does not permit a detailed account of every action in which the battalions were
involved, nevertheless this history does give a good, well-written narrative describing the
Regiments part in the war.The first chapter is devoted to the years between the wars and of
the remaining nine the 1st Battalion takes the lions share, three chapters. The Battalion,
which had just returned from Malta in July 1939, was in Devonport when war broke out, part
of 8th Infantry Brigade, 3rd Division of which Montgomery was GOC. They went to France
in October and in due course were taken off at Dunkirk. The Battalion remained in the UK till
D Day when, still in 8th Brigade, 3rd Division, it landed in Normandy and from then on was
engaged in the NW Europe campaign. The 2nd Battalion was at Mhow, in India, and in
November 1939, moved up to the Razmak on the NW Frontier and from then to the
beginning of 1942 they were engaged against the tribesmen in the Tochi Valley and in
internal security. In October 1943 the Battalion joined 123rd Indian Infantry Brigade and
took part in the Burma campaign including the Arakan and Imphal. The 4th and 5th
Battalions were sent to Singapore and in the ensuing battle they were taken prisoner. Their
total dead numbered 763 of whom 124 died...For more information please visit www.navalmilitary-press.com
This book is dedicated, first to the 12th (now Suffolk) Regiment and secondly to the youth of
HMs dominions in the hope that they may train themselves to do, in time of need, decisive
things. The author served in the Suffolks for 27 years and he is writing four months after the
outbreak of the Great War. It is not a record of the doings of the Suffolk regiment but rather
an account of Britains campaigns, battles and leaders as well as (Suffolk) regimental actions
and regimental life, all spread over more than a hundred years. It begins with an introductory
account of the early days (1660 onwards) of the Army and Navy, goes on to Marlboroughs
wars, the Indian Mutiny and then turns its attention to Napoleon, Wellington and Nelson and
their wars. It treats the New Zealand War, Ashanti and Abyssinia and other colonial wars up
to the death of Queen Victoria.
The book is subtitled A Narrative and Diary of Personal Experiences with The C.I.V.
Battery (Honourable Artillery Company) in South Africa. What gives added interest to the
book is the identity of the author. Childers, who also wrote the classic pre-1914 spy novel
Riddle of the Sands, was a volunteer driver in the Boer War and in the Great War served in
the RNAS and the RAF, reaching the rank of Major and winning the DSC. He was elected to
Dail Eirann after the war, he opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922, supported De Valera
and joined the Republicans when they again took up arms. He was captured in Wicklow, tried
and found guilty of treason and executed on 24th November 1922.
The City Imperial Volunteers were formed at the end of 1899 and part of that regiment was a
battery of four Vickers Maxim guns, supplied by the Honourable Artillery Company - the
unit Childers came over from Ireland to join. After a three week voyage they arrived in S
Africa at the end of February 1900 but it wasnt until June that they eventually saw action, at
Lindley. Childers is a good writer and his description of life on campaign is highly
entertaining and informative.

When war broke out the author, aTA major, was commanding C Company of the 1st
Battalion the Hertfordshire Regiment, a TA regiment. In January 1915 he succeeded to
command of the battalion and in February 1916 he was appointed commander of the 68th
Brigade, a position he held for the next six months, one of the few TA officers to have
command of a brigade. So this story is of one who saw active service on the Western Front as
a company, battalion and brigade commander in the space of twenty-two months. He was
also MP for Christchurch from 1910 to 1918 and Bournemouth from 1918 to 1940 in which
year he was created Baron of Bournemouth.
The battalion landed in France on 6 November 1914 and a fortnight later joined the 4th
Guards Brigade in 2nd Division and stayed with it till the Guards Division was formed in
August 1915, when it was transferred to the 6th Brigade, still in 2nd Division. The time spent
with the Guards Brigade had rubbed off on the battalion - the author refers to them as the
Herts Guards, perhaps with a touch of self-importance. There was plenty of action during
this first year described in a series of short chapters, culminating in Crofts last action as a
CO, the Battle of Loos; four months later he took over 68th Brigade in 23rd Division and the
second part of the book is an account of this command.

The 55th was a pre-war territorial division, recruited in an area extending northwards from
the Mersey to the Lune. The divisional and two of the brigade headquarters were located in
Liverpool, the third brigade in Lancaster. The divisional sign was the red rose of Lancaster
and the infantry battalions came from the Kings Own (R Lancaster), the Kings (Liverpool),
the Loyal N Lancs and the S Lancs. The artillery, engineers, signals, transport and medical
units were all designated West Lancashire, the Mounted troops were the Lancashire Hussars
(Yeomanry). Between November 1914 and March 1915 eight battalions left the division for
France to provide reinforcements for the BEF. In April a complete brigade, the North
Lancashire, was transferred to the 51st Highland Division and having been redesignated 3rd
Highland Brigade went to France with that division in May, whether they were in kilts or not
is not made clear. In January 1916 the division was reformed in France, with the original
battalions returning, and numbered 55th. Subsequently it fought on the Somme at
Guillemont, Ginchy, Flers-Courcelette and Morval. It took part in Third Ypres and was at
Cambrai for the tank attack and the German counter-attack. In April 1918 the 55th was
engaged in the fighting on the Lys during the German offensive, doing exceptionally well in
their stubborn defence of Givenchy where their memorial stands today bearing the
inscription They Win or die who wear the Rose of Lancashire. By the end of the month
they had suffered 3,871 casualties an...For more information please visit www.naval-militarypress.com
The 12th Division was formed in August 1914, one of Kitcheners First New Army divisions
and consisting of men from the Eastern and Home counties. It arrived in France in June 1915
and on 23rd of that month it moved into the line in the Plugstreet-Armentieres sector.
During July it suffered 502 casualties doing no more than occupying front line trenches. Its
first major battle was Loos in which its GOC (Maj-Gen Wing) was killed and casualties
numbered 3,354. Between February and April 1916 it spent ten weeks in the line in the
Hohenzollern Craters sector - mining, counter-mining, crater fighting, bombing and hand-tohand fighting in dreadful conditions, all at a cost of 4,020 casualties. It fought on the Somme
from 3rd July and in other battles till it finally left the Somme on 19th October 1916, by
which time the casualty lists totalled 10, 941. It took part in the battles of Arras and Cambrai
but was not involved in Third Ypres, one of the few British divisions not to be sucked into
that fearsome campaign. By the end of the war casualties totalled 48,143; six VCs were
awarded and 3,000 other honours and awards. This history is written by one of the divisional
chaplains (Brumwell) and has been edited by Arthur Scott who for 21/2 years was the
divisional commander. It is a record of a division which never claimed elite or crack status
but one that proved its dogged spirit and reliability on more than one occasion. The history is

The 29th Division was the last of the regular divisions to be formed after the outbreak of war
from battalions serving overseas. They came from India, Burma, China and Mauritius but
only eleven regular battalions were available, so the 5th R Scots, a territorial battalion, was
selected to make up the twelve. One of the artillery brigades and the divisional troops were
also provided by the territorials, so although reckoned as a regular division it was in reality
something of a mixture. Originally intended for the Western front, the divisions destination
was changed to Gallipoli, the only regular divison to serve there. It became known as the
Incomparable 29th and was to win more VCs than any other division, twenty-seven in all.
The 29th fought right through the Gallipoli campaign from the initial landings on 25th April
1915 when six VCs were awarded to 1st Lancashire Fusiliers (the so-called Six VCs Before
Breakfast), until finally taken off in January 1916. After a brief stopover in Egypt the
division sailed for France in March 1916 and took over the Beaumont Hamel sector on the
Somme front. It was here that the division attacked on 1 July incurring a loss of 5,240
casualties on that day, and its memorial can now be seen at the entrance to the
Newfoundland Memorial Park. The division took part in the Arras offensive in April 1917
and later that year in the Third Ypres offensive. In November 1917 it was at Cambrai in the
first mass tank attack and in the subsequent German counter-attack. The Cambrai fighting
cost the...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com
At an hour and date to be notified later, the 46th Division, as part of a major operation, will
cross the St. Quentin Canal, capture the Hindenburg Line, and advance to a position shown
on the attached map A. This was the opening paragraph of the preliminary operation order
which was to lead to one of the most outstanding feats of arms of the Great War, and that is
where this story begins. It takes us through the planning, the opposed crossing and the
subsequent divisional operations up to the armistice. How formidable the task was can be
gauged from the photos of the canal; the bed was about 35 feet wide and it was like the ditch
of a fortress. The approaches to the canal on the west side were covered by a continuous line
of trenches, sited on a slight rise, with frequent strongpoints housing machine-guns, protected
by a broad belt of barbed wire. Under the cover of a favourable mist and one of the finest
barrages ever seen (fired without registration) the 46th Division stormed the enemy forward
positions with few casualties and pushed on to make the crossing. The Riqueval bridge was
still intact and it was secured by a party of N Staffs and sappers who rushed it, killing all the
demolition party, who had been sheltering from the barrage, before they could reach it. The
bridge still stands today, just as it was when captured. This is an absorbing account of an
operation that went literally according to plan and from there the division went from one
success to another as the story unfolds. The earlier history of the division i...For more
The 5th Division was a pre-war regular division, one of the original four divisions of the
BEF, part of II Corps, and it arrived in France on 16th/17th August. Along with the 3rd
Division it took the brunt of the Battle of Mons and was heavily engaged at Le Cateau on
26th August when it won all five VCs awarded in the battle. These two engagements cost the
division just over 4,500 casualties. The division fought on the Aisne and the Marne and in
October and November it was in action on the La Bassee front and then in the battles of First
Ypres; between 14th October and 30th November 1914 it incurred a further 5,100 casualties.
For the first seven months of 1915 the 5th Division remained in the Ypres Salient, taking part
in the Hill 60 fighting and in Second Ypres when the Germans first used gas. From July to
September 1916 the division was involved in the fighting on the Somme, suffering 11,745
casualties. It also fought in the 1917 Arras offensive and in Third Ypres at Polygon Wood,
Broodseinde, Poelcapelle and Passchendaele. In November 1917 the division was sent to
Italy, returning to France in April 1918, thus missing the opening phase of the German March
offensive, but otherwise it fought in nearly all the battles on the Western Front. No final
casualty figure for the war is given but a realistic estimate would be 50,000. Seventeen VCs
were won, among them the first to be awarded to a Territorial - 2Lt G.H Woolley, 9th (QVR)

This volume of the history (concerned only with the 92nd Foot) was first published in 1901
and the preface to that edition is incorporated in this 2nd edition. The author explains that it
was his object, in matters of general history, merely to give the reason for the various
expeditions in which the regiment was involved, and in describing the operations to confine
himself to the part played by it. He has attached importance to the interior economy and
discipline of a Highland regiment with many fascinating details on such subjects as
nationality, dress, messing, and recruiting and other regimental matters. The regiment was
raised by the Duke of Gordon, embodied in June 1794 in Aberdeen (which became the
Regimental Depot), and on the first muster roll all the Highland Clans were represented, the
greatest number being MacDonalds followed by Camerons. They didnt hang about in those
days, on 5th September (less than three months after embodiment) they embarked for
Gibraltar where they arrived on 26th - 25 officers781 rank and file. The names of the officers
and their service records are given as well as the names of the sergeants and where they had
come from.
The Regiment began life as the 100th Foot, changed to 92nd in 1798. In 1799 it won its first
Battle Honour at Egmont-op-Zee in Holland, fighting Napoleons troops, and the chapter
describing this action gives a list of those killed or died of wounds with their parish and
county; the officers list includes wounded. In 1802 a 2nd Battalion, 92nd Foot, was formed
but el...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com
The first part of this book takes the history of the 92nd from the year following Waterloo to
1882, when the results of the Cardwell Reforms had just come into effect, and the 92nd had
linked with the 75th to form Gordon Highlanders, the 75th becoming the 1st Battalion of the
new regiment, the 92nd the 2nd Battalion. The story then switches to the 75th Foot from its
beginnings in 1787 and takes it through to 1881when it became 1st Battalion Gordon
Highlanders. The last few chapters deal with the history of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the
new regiment from 1881 to the eve of the S African War in 1898. In 1818 the 92nd embarked
for Jamaica. The West Indies was a most unhealthy station because of yellow fever which
carried off thousands of British troops in the nineteenthy century; the Gordons themselves
lost ten officers, 275 other ranks, 34 wives and 31 children in six months in 1819. They went
on to see action in India during the Mutiny and on the NW Frontier in the 2nd Afghan War,
1878-80, where they were awarded the Battle Honours Kabul and Kandahar, emblazoned on
the Colours.
The regiment that in 1881 was to become the 1st Battalion The Gordon Highlanders began
life as the 75th (Stirlingshire) Regiment of Foot in 1787, known also as Abercrombys
Highlanders after the man who raised them. With hardly any time to fall in they were off to
India where they arrived in Bombay in August 1788 (700 strong) to take part in the campaign
against Tippoo Sahib and gaining the Battle Honours Seringapatam and Mysore. In 1809,

The existence of this Journal by Naval Cadet Edward S. Watson was unknown to
Commander W. B. Rowbotham R. N. when he edited the definitive work The Naval
Brigades in the Indian Mutiny 1857-58 for the Navy Records Society in 1947.Whilst
Major-General G. L. Verney made cosiderable use of Cadet Watsons Letters to his mother in
his story of H.M.S. Shannnons Naval Brigade, published in The Devils Wind, this
Cadets Journal - covering the entire period this particular Naval Brigade was ashore - does
not feature in his Bibliography.Captain Oliver J. Jones R.N., who served in the Indian Mutiny
as a Volunteer with the 53rd Regiment, makes reference to the author of this Cadets
Journal in his Recollections of a Winter Campaign in India 1857-58 with the remarks that:

also have added that Lascelles was nearly a foot taller than the somewhat diminutive figure of
Watson, who stood only 4 feet 5 inches in height.Edward Spencer Watson, born in
Rockingham Castle, Northants., joined the service aged 13 years as a Naval Cadet aboard H.

This is a the story of the origin and development of the Tyneside Irish Brigade ending with a

known as 1st - 4th Tyneside Irish, officially they were the 24th - 27th Northumberland
Fusiliers, likewise the brigades designation was the 103rd, part of the 34th Division. This is
more than a history, it is an extremely useful reference work in that it includes alphabetical
lists of officers of the brigade, with biographical details, along with lists of tne NCOs and
men, all shown by battalion and by company within each battalion. These are accompanied
by group photos of officers and NCOs of each battalion with individuals numbered and
identified, and groups of officers and men of each battalion.
One chapter of the book is entitled Irish Heroes Who Have Won The Victoria Cross; this
lists thirty-six officers and men with biographical details and citations plus portrait photos of
twenty-four of them. There is a further chapter giving details of awards made to some
officers and men, including a so-called Card of Honour which is, presumably, a certificate
acknowledging meritorious service, probably awarded by the divisional or brigade
commander. Finally there is a listing of Whos Who of the Tyneside Irish Movement and

or who were involved in Irish Nationalist politics in Tyneside. The introduction is by John

written from day to day under circumstances and conditions of a widely varying kind, all
demanding brevity - no room for literary excellence. The battery came into existence on 3
April 1916 at Lethbridge, Alberta. It did its training at Petawawa Camp and embarked for
England on 11 September 1916 where it was located in Witley Camp. It was now in 14th
Artillery Brigade 5th Canadian Division. All this is narrated as an introduction (with dates) to
the main part which begins on 21 August 1917 when the brigade embarked for France, and at
this point the complete nominal roll of the battery (7 officers and 92 other ranks) is given.
The diary now begins and thereafter there is an entry for every day- even as brief as 1st
September. Raining. Cleaning up - right through to 4th March 1919. Lists at the end include

The Monmouthshire Regiment of the Great War was a Territorial Force regiment, formed in
1908 when the TF came into existence and in 1914 it consisted of three battalions. As in the
case of the other TF regiments second and third line battalions were raised in 1914/1915 and
the 1/2nd Battalion was the first to go to France, landing on 7 November 1914 thus becoming
one of the few TF units to wear the 1914 Star. On arrival in France the battalion joined 12th
Brigade, 4th Division but in May 1915, due to heavy casualties sustained by 1/1st and 1/3rd
Battalions which arrived out in February, the three battalions were combined for a brief spell.
In July 1915 1/2nd resumed its identity and returned to 12th Brigade. In May 1916 the
battalion was converted to pioneers and from then on served as the pioneer battalion for the
29th Division (just returned from Gallipoli).This history is of particular interest in that it is
the story of a battalion that fought as infantry in 1914/15 and then, for the rest of the war, as
pioneers, and there are not too many histories of pioneer battalions. The 29th Division was
one of those selected to march into Germany and its pioneer battalion went with it.
Appendices give the list of Honours and Awards (they did well with twenty DCMs) and the
Roll of Honour (540 dead) with names listed alphabetically by ranks. There is also the
succession of Honorary Colonels, COs and Adjutants going back to 1861and other
information. The first three chapters tell the story of the Monmouths from 1859, when the

This second line TF battalion was formed in September 1914 on the departure of the first line
battalion, 1/4th, for Malta. In the last week of December 1914 the 2/4th battalion sailed for
Malta where it relieved 1/4th which went to France. The battalion served on Malta till August
1915 when it moved to Alexandria, and shortly after (October 1915) headed for Mudros and
then Gallipoli where it arrived in October 1915. In January 1916 it left Gallipoli and made its
way to Rouen, via Alexandria, and there, in June 1916, the battalion was disbanded. At this
point the third line battalion (3/4th), which had been raised in January 1915 and was still in
England, was re-designated 2/4th, under which title it went to France in January 1917. In
effect, then, the 2/4th lived on but to emphasize the fact that this history is concerned only
with the original battalion the book title refers to the Old 2/4th.
This history is narrated in diary form with entries for nearly every day from 23 September
1914 till disbandment at Rouen and every conceivable event affecting the battalion is
included - social and military. Thus: September 14th 1915. The Regimental band played at

SEVENTH
This book gives a summary of the history of the London Rifle Brigade (LRB) prior to the
outbreak of war and then goes on to record the experiences of the first line battalion, 1/5th
LRB, from mobilization to February 1916. The battalion arrived in France on 5 November
1914 and was allocated to 11th Brigade (Hunter-Weston or Hunter-Bunter), 4th Division
and served with it till May 1915 when it was transferred to GHQ troops. In October the
battalion moved back to the line to join 8th Brigade, 3rd Division in the Ypres salient and this
record ends in February 1916 when the battalion was again transferred, this time to its final
home in 169th Brigade of the 56th (London) Division which was then being reformed in
France. This short account is written with censorship very much in mind, so it does get into
too much detail; it is meant to give some idea of the battalions doings to those who were not
out in France at the time, and to be an aid to the memory of those who were there. There is a
list of Honours and Awards, headed by the VC to Sgt Belcher in May 1915; there is an
alphabetical list, by ranks, of LRB officers with service in France up to 16 August 1916
(excluding those currently serving in the battalion, banned by the censor) showing casualties;
and there is a list of attached officers who have served with the battalion, again excluding any
currently serving.

A HISTORY OF THE BLACK

WATCH IN THE GREAT WAR 1914
-1918
This book first appeared with the unweildy title Letters from Portugal, Spain and France
during The Memorable Campaigns of 1811,1812, & 1813; and from Belgium and France in
the Year 1815. By a British Officer. James Hopes career began in July 1809 as a Volunteer
in the 2nd Battalion the 92nd Highland Regiment of Foot, in which he served in the
Walcheren expedition to Holland. In September 1811, now an officer, he was sent to
Portugal with a draft for the 1st Battalion with instructions he should return to the 2nd
Battalion once he had completed his task. The 1st Battalion, however, was short of officers
and kept him temporarily; as a result he served for over two years in the Peninsula. He was
present at several battles - Arroyo del Molino (Arroyo Molinos) in October 1811 where the
French lost some 2,000 to the British 100; Almarez (May 1812), Alba de Torres (Nov 1812),
Vittoria (June 1813), the Maya Pass (July 1813) where he was wounded in the head, and
finally Nivelle (November 1813). The following month he was at last released from service
with the 1st Battalion and went home to rejoin the 2nd Battalion. In 1814 the battalion was
disbanded and Hope went back to the 1st Battalion which he accompanied to Flanders in May
1815. He fought at Quatre Bras and Waterloo and both these battles are vividly described,
especially the battlefield scenes after Waterloo. Hopes record is contained in a series of
letters to a fellow officer, and as they were written very shortly after the events they describe,

Union on behalf of teachers; scale of pensions for disabled teachers and next of kin; War
Savings Campaign; training of disabled servicemen as teachers, exemptions from service,
enlistment and demobilization of teachers. Then follows the Roll of Honour in which the
names of the dead are arranged alphabetically under Local Associations which are themselves
arranged alphabetically, from Aberdare to Yoxton. With each name is given rank, regiment
and school where the individual taught, decorations are also shown. This is followed by the
list of honours and awards in which recipients are grouped according to decorations,
beginning with three VCs (Capt Adlam, 2Lt D.S Bell and 2Lt J Harrison, MC); against each
name is shown rank, regiment etc, school and local Association. Finally there is a complete
nominal roll of teachers who joined the Forces, over 15,600 names, arranged alphabetically
(no rank) and showing the Association to which they belonged. The dead are shown in bold

THE WORCESTERSHIRE
Another reference work for those tracing relatives or other individuals from the isle of Arran,
who served during the Great War, and wanting information on their war service - especially
those connected with the main town, Brodick. At the national registration in August 1915, it
was computed that there were 1,000 males in Arran between the ages of fifteen and sixty-five
and 500 of these served in the Forces. This is a pretty good contribution if you take into
account those ineligible because of age or exempt for agricultural and other purposes and on
medical grounds. This book begins with an account of the effect of the war on the island,
especially preoccupation with the danger from U-boats threatening the communications and
supply route with the Scottish mainland. The main part of the book consists of war service
details of those who served, including nurses; some accounts are brief, others are much
longer. There are separate headings for Nurses, Royal Navy and Merchant Navy, for
regiments/corps, for Canadians and Australians and individuals are shown under the
appropriate heading. At the end is list of names of other Arran men on active service and
these, too. are grouped by regiment but showing only name, rank, where on the island they
came from, decorations and identifying those who died - with date where known.

The author of these reminiscences was Jean Gazzola, born in Piedmont, northern Italy, who,
at the age of sixteen or thereabouts took up dancing and fencing which were considered
indispensable to the education of a gentleman. He was also, quite clearly, very susceptible to
the charms of the fair sex as he describes taking up with a ballerina who lit up a flame in my
bosom and whom he used to walk home and then spent hours with her in soft dalliance.
After one night she lit out with his money, his watch and his clothes reducing him to such
rage at being duped that he gnashed his teeth and tore his hair - and joined the army. It was
1796 and Napoleons Italian campaign was in full swing but the army our hero joined was the
French one, not the Italian.
This is an entertaining account by one who saw plenty of action. Soon after joining he was a
member of the folorn hope at the siege of Mantua and was rewarded for his gallantry. He
fought in Egypt, at Marengo, Austerlitz and in the ill-fated Russian campaign in which he
was taken prisoner at the battle of the river Beresina in November 1812, suffering from frost
bite. He remained in captivity till Napoleon went into exile in 1814. But he saw action in
many other engagements all of which he describes. He does not leave out his other activities,
gambling, a duel, and still more affairs of the heart.... eyes bright as the starry firmament,
soft, liquid, and blue as the vault of heaven...
In the early 1920s 5,000 of the National War Memorial funds were spent collecting the
records of all the fallen and publishing them in Irelands Memorial Records. One hundred
copies of the eight-volume set were printed for distribution through the principal libraries of
the country.The printing, decoration and binding of the volumes was carried out by Irish
artists and workers of the highest reputation and efficiency.The most remarkable feature of
the volumes are the beautiful symboic borders designed by the artist Harry Clarke, bestknown for his work in stained glass. Contained in the eight volumes are the details of over
49,000 fatal casualties.The men and women commemorated either served in Irish Regiments
or were born or were resident in Ireland at the time of their death and were serving with units
from Britain and its empire.The principle information given for each person, whereas being
similar to Soldiers Died in the Great War, quite often contains additional facts such as age,
and elaboration on how killed etc.For example, the entry, died of wounds received in Sinn
Fein Rebellion has been noticed.Details of pre-war medal entitlement and other odd facts
occasionally occur.This is the only publication to bring so many of the great War dead from
Ireland together in order that they may be individually and collectively honoured and
remembered.
Here is a unique opportunity to own one of the rarest sets of memorial books ever
published which have never been available for sale to private individuals.

This pamphlet was issued to all officers towards the end of 1943, and formed the basis for
intelligence work until 1945. It contains details of the organisation and tactics of the German
army as observed and learned by British Forces in France (1940), the Balkans, Greece and
Crete (1941) and in the Western Desert (1941-43).It is a compilation of all the intelligence
gathered there, plus material from Ultra transcripts.The infantry, engineer, tank and artillery
units are all shown in great detail, with inserted Order of Battles for infantry and tank
divisions.There is also a detailed analysis of field engineer units, and all rear services, plus
signals, administration and headquarter units.The pamphlet gives details of the methods the
Germans used, particularly infantry, infantry-tank and infantry-engineer tactics.It also looks
at airborne units and their role in the Second World War. It is a must for all students of the
German army because the detail in it shows the state of the art in late 1943, just before the
Allied invasion of Europe in 1944.Officers were able to brief their men on the enemy in great
detail, which gives the reader much useful insight into how the German army was seen by the
men who took part in Operation Overlord.
This German-language book was available to every German armed forces recruit from the
early 1930s until 1944, and it underwent annual revision.The wide availability meant that it
contained only material which was easily learned by observation, but it encapsulates the
complete ethos of the German army at the beginning of the Second World War.It contains
details of German state and military history, and shows every recruit what to do and how to
behave as a member of the army.From bed-making to rifle drill, from camouflage to tactical
movements, from boot polishing to horse handling: everything is there.There are hundreds of
illustrations and diagrams, so even the non-German reader will gain enormously from having
this book to consult and anyone with a smattering of the language will gain an insight into
both the German people and their army during the period.There is a multitude of photographs
in the book, showing kit, weapons and tactics, and a series of charts and diagrams to clarify
tactics and drill. Further, there are details of rifles, machine guns, sub-machine guns and other
weapons to delight the weapons student, together with ballistic details of all projectiles in use
at the time.
This classic work describes many deeds of WW1 that resulted in the award of the VC,DSO,
MC,DCM, DSM,IOM or CB.Each chapter is devoted to a recipient and is supported by an
artists impression of the deed.In this format, 56 VCs are covered.The VC deeds of many

The 5th Australian Division began to form in February 1916 in Egypt with 8th, 14th and 15th
Brigades. The 8th had been raised in Australia in June 1915 and arrived in Egypt in
December, the 14th and 15th Brigades were made up half from personnel of the 1st and 2nd
Brigades of the 1st Division (recently back from Gallipoli) and half from reinforcements
already in Egypt. The four battalions of the 8th Brigade had already been numbered (in
Australia) 29th-32nd, the eight battalions of the newly created 14th and 15th Brigades were
numbered 53rd-60th. The divisional commander was the Hon J.W McCay, who arrived in
March from Australia where he had been Inspector General. The division arrived in France
at the end of June 1916 and within three weeks, on 19th July, it was in action in the attack on
Fromelles, the same area that saw the disastrous assault on Aubers Ridge some fourteen
months earlier. This attack was equally disastrous with 5,533 casualties, the highest casualty
figure incurred in a day by any division other than that of 34th Division on 1st July 1916.
Other major actions fought by the 5th Australian Division included Bullecourt, Polygon
Wood, first and second battles of Passchendaele, Amiens, Avre, Villers Bretonneux,
occupation of Peronne, and St Quentin Canal (capture of the Bellicourt Tunnel Defences).
Seven VCs were won and from figures quoted from time to time, the final casualty figure
must have numbered more than 25,000 (remembering the divisons first action was nearly

This official history of the part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force is based
chiefly on the records of the Air Ministry, collected and preserved by the historical section,
supplemented by the contributions of many military and naval officers and civilian experts,
as well as accounts of eyewitnesses. In all there are six volumes of text plus a supporting
volume of appendices, published between 1922 and 1937. The author of this first volume, Sir
Walter Raleigh, died after finishing it and the task was taken over by H.A Jones who
completed it.
Volume One describes the beginnings of the Air Force and the institution of the Royal Flying
Corps (RFC). It covers the early months of the war (Mons to Ypres 1914) and the activities
of Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) in 1914. It concludes with an account of the expansion
of the RFC and RNAS during the war - fighters, bombers and aircraft carriers among other
developments - and discusses the interplay between the two. The index to this volume is
incorporated in that of Volume 2.

This is a manoeuvre and drill manual for the use of the Yeomanry and Volunteer cavalry
throughout the UK. It begins with the organisation of the cavalry - two troops to a squadron;
two, three or more squadrons to a regiment and two or more regiments to a line. It describes
the various movements, such as passaging, dressing, wheeling, inclining, filing and so on. It
defines how form close column and open column and many more seemingly complicated
manoeuvres to meet all occasions. There are instructions on skirmishing, charging, attacking
with squadrons successively, attacking to the front and flank. We have words of command,
trumpet calls and the inspection or review of a regiment.

In our security-conscious age, the idea of a private individual visiting the front line is a
strange one. But the Victorians were much less sensitive about secrecy.In the 1884. In 1856,
Captain Oliver Jones demanded and was granted a years leave which he then occupied by
taking part in some of the fiercest fighting of the Indian Mutiny.Oliver Jones joined the Royal
Navy in 1826 at the tender age of 13 and was promoted lieutenant in 1839.At a time when
many naval officers spent the majority of their time on half-pay, he managed to remain
actively employed almost continuously; but without seeing any fighting. Then, withn the
space of five years, he took part in three different wars or campaigns at opposite ends of the
world. In 1854/5 he was the Commander of the brand new sail and steam wooden battleship
HMS Hannibal both in the Baltic and the Black Sea Campaigns of the Crimean war. In 1860,
he commanded the paddle-steamer HMS Furious during the Second China War. In between,
he found time to observe the fighting in India and - in that innocent era before the Official
Secrets Act! to publish a most vivid and detailed account of the operation and of the forces
involved. Lucky for us that he did, for his Recollections of a Winter Campaign in India
gives some fascinating insights into this most unhappy of Britains colonial wars.Captain
Jones was attached to the 53rd Regiment which meant that he had a front-seat view of the

This publication is arranged in two parts: Part I The Old and New Armies, Part II The
Territorial Force. RFC officers, both Regular and Territorial, are included in Part I, but not
RAF, which came into existence on 1st April 1918. In Part I the names are tabulated
alphabetically by regiments/corps, in some cases (but by no means all) the battalion is also
given but there is no information as to the theatre of war or country where death occurred simply name, rank and date of death, with any decorations. The exception to this are those
who died as prisoners of war when that fact is noted with their other details. At the beginning
of Part I is a list of senior commanders and staff officers such as Maj-Gen Capper (GOC7th
Division) and Brig-Gen J.Gough VC (CoS First Army); these are in order of seniority and in
some cases their appointment is given. This list of some 50 odd names is by no means
exhaustive, others, promoted to command or staff during the war, are shown with their
regiments, for example Brig-Gen Noel Lee (GOC 127th Brigade) is shown under his old
battalion, 6th Manchesters (TF).
In Part II the names are arranged by battalions within regiments by ranks, but again there is
no information as to place of death, except for PoW, as in Part I. Apart from British army the
lists include West India Regiment, KAR, West African Regiment and West African Frontier

problems to be faced with compiling a record so many years after the end of the war. Of the
9,161 men who served, many had passed away and some had left the company. Nevertheless,
by means of a general enquiry, and through reference to the files of the Prudential Bulletin
and the Ibis Magazine a definite history has emerged. It takes each year of the war in turn and
recounts the experiences of their employees who were at the scene of the actions described.

1755-1802
This document is an extremely rare intelligence product, and was issued in very small
numbers towards the end of the Second World War, just as Allied troops were penetrating
into the heart of Germany. Its aim was to allow intelligence officers thoiw to pinpoint the
Nazi Party offices, military installations, police stations and other places of interest in every
town in Germany.
The document was the result of cooperation between the US War Department and the British
Intelligence branches of the War Office. It is presented in its original condition, without any
alterations, and contains an enormous amount of hard, primary intelligence. With this data as
their bible Allied troops, and particularly Field Intelligence Officers, were able to go
through every German and Austrian town to arrest local Nazis as well as inspecting all
depots, barracks and offices which had any connection with the German military machine.
Needless to say the pamphlet was a product of all intelligence sources - including HUMINT,
ULTRA and all other sources, which was then painstakingly assembled on a geographical
basis so that the underlying organisation of the Reich was laid open to the invading troops. It
also includes a preface which outlines the higher commands of the Wehrmacht as well as
giving the names and positions of all the highest ranking officers and officials

The 10th Sherwood Foresters was formed in Derby on 13th September 1914 and allocated to
51st Brigade, 17th (Northern) Division in Kitcheners Second New Army; it remained in that
brigade and division for the whole of the war. Training in England took place in Lulworth
and Wool, and in May 1915 the division moved to the Winchester area for final intensive
training. In mid July 1915 the division left for France, 10th Foresters crossing on night
14th/15th. For the remainder of the war the division served on the Western Front. The author
crossed to France with the battalion (B Coy) but, as he explains in his epilogue, he was only
with it to March 1916 and thereafter he was with HQ 51st Brigade with brief stretches at
divisional HQ and 50th Brigade, close enough to keep contact with his old battalion.
Unusually, this history opens with the nominal roll of officers who went to France with the
battalion in July 1915, followed by the list of honours and awards, then the narrative begins.
The battalion first saw action in the Ypres salient in the trenches at Sanctuary Wood and then
at the Bluff. It later moved down to the Somme where it was involved in the battle for
Fricourt and Delville Wood; in the first eleven days of the Somme offensive the battalion
suffered 381 casualties, 15 of them officers. It remained on the Somme front till the New
Year and then the division was transferred to the Arras sector for the Spring offensive,
fighting in both battles of the Scarpe. The battalion was in action during Third Ypres at both
battles...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com

MALABOCH OF BLAAUWBERG,
DISTRICT ZOUTPANSBERG,
SOUTH AFRICAN REPUBLIC
Ambushes and surprise attacks are tactics as old as warfare itself. This instructive and
interesting book, written by a distinguished Victorian soldier and military historian,
describes and analyses some of historys most famous military ambushes - including
Hannibals waylaying of the Romans on the shores of Lake Trasimene; the other great
disaster to Roman arms when the Legions were lured to their doom by the Teutonic tribes of
Germanicus in the Teutoburg Forest; from the Age of Charlemagne Malleson tells the story
of Roland and Olivers doomed stand against the Moors at Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees.
Other surprises and ambushes recounted in the book include Marshal Massenas campaign of
1799 around the St Gothard Pass in the Swiss Alps, and Frances successful ambush of
Braddocks British force iun the North American wilderness at Fort Duquesne. Each account
is illustrated by a map, making this a most illuminating as well and an highly entertaining,
read.

A devotee of the Minie rifle through his service with the French staff in Algeria in 1847,
Lakeman attempted to interest the British Army in the weapon. Although the army was
reluctant to adopt the rifle, Lakeman was permitted to raise a volunteer corps at his own
expense for service in the 1850-53 Kaffir War. Granted the rank of captain, he served
through the campaign and was knighted, aged just 24. Tylden wrote in The Armed Forces of
South Africa: Lakemans Volunteer Infantry... called officially the Waterkloof Rangers....

This book begins with the List of Officers of the Scotch Brigade as it first appeared in the
Army List of 1795, three battalions with Francis Dundas (late 1st Foot Guards) as Colonel in
Chief. Before this there had been three 94th Regiments of Foot. J.B.M. Fredericks Lineage
Book of British Land Forces 1660-1978 shows the regiment which is the subject of this book
had started life in Dutch service as the Scots Brigade back in 1568 and was brought onto the
English establishment in October 1794 as the Scotch Brigade. It was numbered 94th Foot in
December 1802, was disbanded in December 1818 with officers remaining on half pay until
the regiment was re-embodied in December 1823 as 94th Foot. Its first Battle Honour carried
on the Colours was Seringapatam (1799), followed by eight more won in the Peninsula.
This is a valuable source for genealogists and medallists. The information given for each
officer includes date of first commissioning and dates of subsequent promotions with any
exchanges to or from other regiments, details of active service and medals received and, in
many cases, date and place of death.
This is an account of an Irish Mlitia regiment embodied in 1793 in the county of Tyrone and
to be known as the 2nd, or Royal Tyrone Regiment of Militia, a title it held till 1855. The
Regimental HQ was in Strabane, the CO was The Marquis of Abercorn and the nominal roll
of the 28 officers (including the Chaplain) is given. The here-today-gone-tomorrow aspect
of the Militia is reflected in the fortunes of the Royal Tyrones. It was disembodied in 1802,
reformed eight months later in 1803, disembodied again in 1816 (the threat posed by
Napoleon had vanished), and was re-embodied once more in 1855, disembodied in 1856, reembodied in 1857, disembodied in 1858 at which point I have become as confused as I
imagine the officers and men must have been. But this account does give a good feel for
soldiering with the militia: terms of service, dress, equipment, pay, bounties, parades,
recruitment into the regular army, regular commissions for officers and splendid examples of
correspondence and written orders. There are frequent lists of officers present for duty, in fact
at each embodiment and disembodiment as well as regimental strength figures. I nearly
forgot: the regiment received its Fusilier title in April 1855 becoming the Royal Tyrone
Fusilier Regiment of Militia.
11th Bn R Irish Rifles was raised in Co Antrim in Sep 1914 from the Antrim Volunteers and
allocated to the Ulster (later 36th) Division. After initial training in various camps in Ireland

CASUALTY ROLL.
This diary is written from notes made daily by the author when he was signal sergeant to
Lieutenant-Colonel P.L.Clowes, who commanded the regiment during the war until October
1901, and afterwards from notes made when he was a squadron sergeant-major and OrderlyRoom Sergeant (ORS). It also incorporates the diary of C Squadron, when detached from the
regiment, written by its OC, Major A.Henderson, and that of A Squadron during the time it
was with Colonel Pulteneys Column, written by Major F.W.Mussenden, squadron OC. It
begins with a short, background history of the regiment from its formation in 1693 to 1903
when it was in Aldershot.
On 26th December 1899 the regiment was at the Curragh when mobilization orders were
received and on 13th February 1900 the regiment embarked at Queenstown (Cobh) for S
Africa, part of the 4th Cavalry Brigade with 7th Dragoon Guards and 17th Lancers.
Embarkation strength was 19 officers, 586 WOs, NCOs and men and 487 horses (someone
was going to have to walk!). The complete nominal roll of those embarking is given, listed by
squadrons.
The diary begins on 13th Feb followed by daily entries describing the voyage during which
eleven horses and one crew member died; it ended at Cape Town on 10th March. It is on this
daily entry basis that the progress of the regiment is described, in action, on the move, in
camp with all the problems of campaigning on the veldt - sickness, food and water shortage,
supplies and other details. Casualties are noted by name and rank and number as they
occurred, each ...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com
This medal, sanctioned in 1846, was the first campaign award issued to all ranks with clasps,
although clasps had been awarded on the Gold Crosses and Medals issued to officers for the
peninsular Wars.The basic design of this medal set a precedent in campaign awards that has
been generally adhered to ever since.Another unusual facet to this medal is that the name of
the first battle at which the recipient was present is found at the bottom of the reverse; thus
medals with one clasp are found to recipients who were at two actions, and so on.Those who
were at all four battles for which clasps were awarded could only receive three clasps, and no
clasp was issued for Moodkee, it being the first battle of the campaign.The 1845-46 Sikh
War was a difficult one, as theSikh army was well-trained and armed.As a result, British
Casualties at the four actions were heavy.However, the campaign was short and concentrated,
lasting only three months, and the Sikhs returned for a further conflict with the British two
years later (see Punjab Medal 1848-49). The medal is found named in two main styles; to
British troops, in thin, upright impressed capitals, a rather distinctive style notable for the use
of colons instead of full stops; and to Indian troops in engraved running script.The list of
casualties have been compiled from the Sutlej Medal Rolls held at the India Office Library.

This account was actually written in Mesopotamia in 1917, and the author was so imbued
with a sense of security that while he states it is the story of the 2nd Battalion, he does not say
which regiment nor does he identify the division to which his battalion belonged. He does
name the officers and the CO (A.G.Wauchope) and from this information it can be said that
the regiment is the Black Watch. When war broke out the battalion was in India, where it had
been since the end of the Boer War, stationed in Bareilly and on mobilization it formed part
of the Bareilly Brigade of the 7th (Meerut) Division and went to France with the Indian
Corps, landing in France in October 1914. At the end of 1915 the Indian Corps was
withdrawn from France and sent to Mesopotamia where the battalion arrived on the last day
of 1915; before the week was out it was in action at Shaikh Saad (6th-8th Jan 16)where it
had some 60 killed, the Official History speaks of 400 casualties in the battalion.
This account covers about 18 months, to the capture of Samarrah on 24th April 1917 when
the winter campaign of 1916-17 came to an end. There are not many battalion histories
dealing solely with the war in Mesopotamia (there was only one British division in that
theatre, the 13th) and that makes this narrative interesting, not only from the point of view of
the numerous actions in which the battalion was involved, but also because of the
descriptions of the country, the inhabitants and the conditions in which they fought - the

In my ignorance I assumed there was a town called Craven, but I could not find it on any of
my maps. On reading this book, however, I discovered it was not a town but a district in N
Yorkshire . The HQ of the local TA infantry battalion (6th Duke of Wellingtons) was at
Skipton-in-Craven. The whole cost of compiling, publishing and distributing this book was
borne by a Mr Walter Morrison, JP. It was a gift to each member of HM Forces who joined
up from the Skipton parliamentary division, or to their next of kin, as a memento of the
noble part that Craven played in the Great War, and the heroic sacrifices made in upholding
the honour and prestige of the British Empire. After a brief summary of the course of the
war the book begins with the war record of the 1/6th Duke of Wellingtons (DW) followed
by the nominal roll of officers (by rank) and men (alphabetically) of the battalion who
embarked for France at Folkestone on 14th April 1915. Immediately after this is the nominal
roll of the other ranks of the 2/6th DW; this list is not dated nor does it include the officers.
This roll is arranged alphabetically by companies. There are two group photos of the officers
of the two battalions, they are not dated but evidently they were taken in the early days of the
war. Then comes a short piece on the sinking of the hospital ship Rohilla which ran on the

was held at Cardiff where Mr Lloyd George, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, explained the
aims of forming a Welsh Army Corps. On 10th October the GOC Western Command
received a letter from the Army Council informing him that permission had been given to
form a Welsh Army Corps of two divisions with the infantry coming from service battalions

as well as giving details of finance, clothing and equipment (Finance Committee),. One of the
interesting statistics is the break down of the male population of Wales(by counties) and
Monmouthshire between the ages of 20 and 40; in all it came to 404,726 with
Glamorganshire accounting for the largest number - 202,376. By the end of October 1915 the
number of recruits that had passed through the various units associated with the Committee
amounted, in round figures, to 50,000. In the event there was only one division (apart from
the 53rd Welsh Division TF) that took the field - the 38th (Welsh) Division. This is a very
interesting and instructive account.

Accounts of the 1854-55 Crimean campaign by participants in the conflict are as fascinating
as those, perhaps more-well known, of the equally gruelling Peninsular War. As we mark the
150th anniversary of the conflict, they have an extra resonance. This is one of the best,
containing as it does the recollections of an officer who served throuighout the war from its

This publication, one of a series written by German officers in American captivity and
produced after the Secopnd World War by US military intelligence, studies the German
operations to conquer Yugoslavia and Greece and the invasion of Crete. It also looks at the
effect of these operations on the subsequent invasion of Russia. The German attack on
Yugoslavia was carried out in conjunction with Italian and Hungarian troops, and a section of
the report examines such co-operation. It also looks at the logistics of the campaign and the
problems that arose The invasion of Greece follows, together with an analysis of the use of
tanks in mountain country, air support and mountain warfare training and equipment. The
final section of the battle reports considers the successful airborne attack on Crete, followed
by the seaborne landings on the island.
The campaigns are treated chronologically and in great detail. Problems are clearly stated and
the solutions explained. There is also an analysis of the relevant enemy forces within the
narrative. This is a first-class report which gathers all the relevant information into one book,
so that the whole German eastern Mediterranean strategy in 1941 can be examined, and it
puts this into the context of the coming larger undertaking against Russia, which, some say,
was fatally flawed by the delay imposed by these smaller operations in the Balkans. There are
seven detailed maps .

Sebastopol is one of the classic sieges of all time. The culminating struggle for the strategic
Russian port in 1854-5 was the final bloody episode in the costly Crimean War. It was a
story of trench warfare, struggles for strongpoints (Redans) and bitter bravery and tenacity
on both sides. Above all, perhaps, it was a struggle in which the skills of military engineers
came into their own. Published by order of the Secretary of State for War, this handsome
two-volume publication is a very detailed Official History with maps and diagrams. Part I:
Sets the siege of Sebastopol in the context of the war as a whole from the Invasion of the
Crimea to the close of the Winter Campaign 1854-55. Part II: From February 1855 to the Fall
of Sebastopl, September 1855. This book is one which no serious student of the Crimea can
afford to be without.

This pamphlet is Part V of a series, and deals with German Infantry, Engineer and Airborne
weapons. It was issued by the British War Office in July, 1943. There are details of German
grenades and grenade dischargers, which includes the 27mm Kampfpistole, the rifle grenade
discharger (Schiessbecher) and the sighting equipment, and the spigot type rifle discharger.
The section on machine carbines looks at the Bergmann MP18, the 9mm MP28 (the so-called
Schmeisser), the MP34 (Bergmann) and the Steyr-Solothurn MP34(o). Under rifles there is
treatment of the important Gew 41 7.92mm self-loading rifle. Among machine guns it treats
in detail the relatively new (in 1943) MG42, and there are notes on the MG34 S and the
MG34/41. Mortars: the 8cm German mortar 34, the 10cm Nebelwerfer 35 and the 20cm
leichte Landungswerfer are shown, and there is a table of compatibility between British,
German and Italian mortar ammunition. Airborne guns: this section shows the revolutionary
7.5cm LG40 in great detail. All reports are accompanied by drawings and there are
photographs of the MG42 and the LG40.
This pamphlet is of great importance to students of infantry weapons, particularly of airborne
troops with its detailed examination of the LG40.
This pamphlet was issued in August 1943 to all regimental officers of the British Army
expected to have contact with German forces. It is the result of many contacts with the
German army, together with some Ultra information, although this is of course not stated. It
looks at the organisation of the German Infantry Regiment from section level upwards,
showing the organisation of the infantry section, infantry platoon, rifle company, machine
gun company. It then looks at the infantry battalion, infantry regiment, and the support
included at regimental level: the infantry gun company and the infantry anti-tank company.
The pamphlet then examines the German infantry division.
The next section deals with the organisation of the German Armoured Division, and this is
shown in the same detail as the infantry component: from troop of tanks up to tank regiment.
Complementing this is the same treatment of a Panzer Grenadier regiment.
The pamphlet then looks at German tactics in the attack, and co-operation between infantry
and armour, defensive tactics and the German withdrawal. There are also tables of German
military symbols with an explanation, and an important tabular layout of weapons, including
small arms and grenades, artillery and anti-tank guns and heavy smoke mortars and
projectiles. The whole pamphlet is illustrated with organisation charts and tactical maps.
This secret wartime War Office publication includes the set of three notes issued in 1942-43,
dealing with the Wehrmachts armoured and motorised divisions, chemical and smoke units
and engineers. They show by means of organisation charts and notes how the German Army
organised these important combat units (engineers in the German Army were front line
troops, not in support). The armoured and motorised infantry section gives details of the
composition of the division, and also of its motorised reconnaissance unit, tank regiment,
lorried infantry regiment, motor-cycle battalion, artillery regiment, anti-tank battalion and the
divisional services, together with repair and workshop units. There is also a personnel and
equipment table and a comparison between British and German armoured divisions.
The same treatment applies to the German motorised division, and there are notes on GHQ
troops - the assault artillery, SP anti-tank, motorised anti-aircraft and Luftwaffe anti-aircraft
units.
The second part of the publication looks at gas warfare and, more importantly the provision
for smoke in the German Army. Engineers, the third section, looks in great detail at the
infantry pioneers (combat engineers) as well as engineer units proper in the GHQ pool. There
is also a wealth of detail on equipment: bridging, electrical and mechanical, anti-tank and
anti-personnel obstacles, mines and mine detectors, demolition equipment, flame throwers
and landing craft.
There are many organisation charts and weapons tables included throughout. As a ...For more
This reprint of the third edition of Colonel-General Heinz Guderian's book is concerned with
his thoughts on the armoured unit and its tactics, together with his vision of infantry-tank cooperation. He starts with a review of the significant tank attacks during the First World War:
Cambrai, Soissons and Amiens, and he analyses the reasons for the relative failure of tank
tactics in that conflict. He then looks at the development of the tank and its tactics in Britain,
France and Russia between the wars. The main part of the book, however, is now presented:
his own concept of the tank and its tactical and strategic use.
Guderian examines armoured reconnaissance, and then discusses tanks in the attack. He goes
on to look at infantry-tank co-operation and tactics and finally examines Italys experiences
in Abyssinia and the Spanish Civil War. This is a thoughtful piece of military analysis by
arguably one of the great tank generals of all time. Heinz Guderian was one of the founders
of the German armoured forces, and the truth of his arguments in this book, produced before
the Second World War started, are plain to see. Accompanied by eight photographs of early
tanks and motorised artillery.

Interestingly this title, produced by the British War Office in 1956, was written by General
Guillaume of the French Army. Nevertheless it is a first class overview of the whole of
Operation Barbarossa, and is more than amply illustrated by a collection of 63 sketch maps
detailing important battles and movements throughout the campaign. Planning is dealt with
only briefly, and the book really gets going with a description of the Battle for Moscow in the
winter of 1941/42. It then looks at the defence of Leningrad before racing forward to the
Battle of Stalingrad. Details are then given of the fighting in the Caucasus. It is a treatment of
the most important factors in the campaign from a military viewpoint, and there is no padding
in this book at all.
Part Two deals with the situation in the spring of 1943 and looks then in detail at the Battle of
Kursk. Following the German failure there, the Russians advanced on Orel and Kharkov,
sealing the strategic fate of Germany in the war. 1944 and the German withdrawal is treated
by means of descriptions of Ten battles of destruction ending in late 1944.
Finally the author analyses the German collapse in 1945. Throughout there are commentaries
and analyses which help the reader to an understanding of not just what went on, but why
things went so wrong for the Germans. This is an important text for the student of this
enormous campaign, and cannot be ignored.
In July 1914 the male staff of the Bank of Ireland numbered six hundred and twelve, about
one third of whom were over military age. This book contains the service records of the 190
who served in the Forces during the Great War, all of them bar one volunteers; the exception
was a conscript. The first part of the book is concerned with the 33 who died, listed in
alphabetical order, and for each there is a full plate photo. Then follow the records of the
other 157, also arranged in alphabetical order. As with all books such as this some accounts
have more detail than others. In conclusion there is the nominal roll of those who received
awards, including mention in despatches, and finally a statistical table showing the number
enlisted, casualty details, and the number who returned to the Bank after the war (122) and
the number who took up other employment. A valuable source for the medallist and
genealogist
This book contains the list of all the members of the Order of Masons who served in the
Forces during the Great War. It begins with The Grand Masters Lodge, Dublin, of which
there were 27 members, and then takes each Lodge in turn and lists the members in
alphabetical order, identifying those who died and those wounded or gassed. Against each
name is the rank and unit (not in all cases) or service with any honours and awards. Every
Lodge has a number and they are shown here in numerical order, e.g., Lodge 1, Cork; Lodge
149 Ballymena; Lodge 397 Curragh Camp (249 members). The Lodges are not restricted to
Ireland, there is. for example, Lodge 361 Pretoria, Lodge 298 Ceylon and Lodge 319
Bombay. There are also regimental Lodges such as Lodge 570, 5th Dragoon Guards and

A British officers account of operations during the Russo-Turkish War of 1827-1829 which
ended with the Treaty of Adrianople, freeing Greeks from Turkish domination and opening
the Black Sea and the Dardanelles. The nature of this book is explained in the expanded title
to the effect that the authors travels include sketches (in the written sense) of the Imperial
[Russian] Fleet and Army, personal adventures, and characteristic anecdotes - a cross
between a travelogue and a report of a military observer of a foreign war. The author was a
British officer who obtained leave of absence to observe the conflict. In the first volume he
describes his journey across the Baltic to Hamburg and thence to St Petersburg, Moscow and
on to the Crimea, giving his views on the Russian Army. He ends this volume with a chapter
on the antiquities to be found on the shores of the Black Sea. In the second volume he joins
the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which he describes, and follows its operations during the final
days of the war. He relates various events at which he was present and makes use of
eyewitness accounts of others. When naval operations ended he joined the Russian army and
goes into great detail describing every aspect of that army - the Russian soldier, dress,
discipline, training and so on.

The BOOK OF THE MACHINE GUN
1917
This study of the German Army is the result of many years research into the higher
formations of the German Army in the Second World War. It begins by looking at the High
Command itself, and includes a critique of Hitlers methods of dealing with his senior
military commanders. It then examines the Army High Command and the Reserve Army. It
goes on to look at the Army Groups, Armies and Corps of the German Army, and gives, in all
cases, details of commanders, superior commands and subordinate formations, together with
their locations throughout the war. Every command is shown in enough detail to be able to
create an Order of Battle right through the war. The book also contains details of the German
reserve army, and the Corps which were tasked with providing the front line replacements.
There are also details of Artillery Commands, Fortress Commands, Rear Area Commands
and a special section on the Waffen SS. In all the book provides a base which all serious
students of the Second World War, and the German Army, can develop as they wish. No

volunteers of Kitcheners new armies destroyed on the Somme, it was these two factors
which ensured that the flow of casualties continued undiminished throughout the remaining
years of the war on a scale never matched before or since. In the early months of fervent
patriotism and enthusiasm when young men queued to join up in the fear that it would all be
over before they could have a chance to come face to face with the enemy, the concept of a
roll of honour which would give biographical details with portraits of all those who had fallen
in the service of their country was obviously thought to be a publishing possibility. The later
disasters of 1916 and 1917 would prove that it was not. Nevertheless, the ROLL OF

In 1877 the British Army was not engaged in any major campaigns, with only the Zulu Wars
and the second Afghan War on the horizon. The Armt itself was in a state of change, with the
Martini-Henry rifle replacing the Snider rilfed musket, and with the slow arrival of breech
loading guns for artillery use.
This official manual of the ammunition in service in December 1877 is one of a number to be
reprinted by Naval and Military Press (others will include the ammunition maunual;s for
1915 and 1936, and enemy ammunition in the Second World War).
It gives complete details on propellants and fuzes, and the construction and design of shells
for artillery use, both for smooth bore and rifled guns. It also includes small arms ammunition
and rockets. The importance of this edition of the manual cannot be overemphasised, coming
as it does at the very point in time when the rifled waepon was coming in to use, slowly
replacing the smooth-bored muzzle-loading weapons of the Napoleonic age.
There is a number of colour plates included ogether with many black and white drawings and
tables with complete detail.

When war broke out the 1st R West Kents were stationed in Dublin, forming part of 13th
Infantry Brigade, 5th Division which was one of the four original infantry divisions of the
BEF. Apart from the four months December 1917 to March 1918, which was spent in Italy,
the division served on the Western Front throughout the war. 1st R West Kents remained in
the same brigade and division from start to finish. The battalion arrived in France on 15th
August 1914, embarkation strength was 26 officers and 1015 other ranks; eleven of the
officers would be dead within the first three months. The battalion ended the war some fifteen
miles from where it had fought its first battle, at Mons, four and a quarter years earlier.
This single battalion account is compiled for the most part from the war diary, eye-witness
accounts and extracts from personal diaries, and it makes for a most interesting narrative with
many personal touches. Each chapter deals with a specific period or battles, as indicated in
the chapter headings. Casualties are reported, identifying officers and sometimes NCOs and
men though usually other rank totals are given after each action; drafts arriving are also
reported. There is no roll of honour nor list of honours and awards, but there is an appendix
of 75 pages containing the names of those who were brought to notice for special acts of
gallantry and good work and describing their deeds, in the case of other ranks number and

The title on the cover is misleading in that it refers to the 1/5th Battalion whereas the book is
concerned not only with the 1/5th but also with the 2/5th Battalion. The original battalion
(1/5th) was in the 43rd (Wessex) Division and went with it to India in October 1914, and
served there till May 1917 when it moved to Egypt. Here it joined the newly formed 233rd
Brigade which became part of the 75th Division, a new division and the last to be formed and
one which included Indian Army battalions in each brigade. By the end of the war the
structure of each brigade was that of an Indian Army division with three Indian/Gurkha and
one British battalion. The division, and with it 1/5th Som LI, went to Palestine and took part
in the fighting against the Turks. The 2/5th Battalion was formed in September 1914, part of
the 45th (2nd Wessex) Division which also sailed for India, in December 1914. The battalion,
however, continued on to Burma where it remained till May 1917 when it moved back to
India where it saw out the war.
Both battalions sent drafts to Mesopotamia and their experiences are recounted in separate
chapters. There is a roll of honour for each battalion and a list of honours and awards for
each. In the roll of honour of both battalions there is a Private Bellringer; in the case of
Charles Henry of 1/5th there is neither place nor date of death which are given for every other

THE MILITARY MEMOIRS OF LT.GEN. SIR JOSEPH THACKWELL

GCB, KH COLONEL 16TH
LANCERS
An account of the second of Britains unhappy engagements with Afghanistan, which

followed the disaster of its 1842 retreat from Kabul when most of its expeditionary force
were slaughtered. Despite this lesson, Disraelis Tory Government in 1878 were anxious to
counter Russian influence in Afghanistatn and demanded that Kabul match the arrival of an
uninvited Russian military mission by receiving a British one too. When the Afghan ruler,
Sher Ali, refused, Britain mounted an expedition to compel his submission. Sher Ali died
after vainly appealing to Russia for help, and was succeeded by his son Yuqub who made
terms with Britain, giving London control of Afghan foreign affairs. In 1879, the British
Resident in Kabul was assassinated, and Britain sent another expedition to the Afghan
capital, which compelled Yuqubs adbdication. In 1880 Gladstones LIberals succeeded
Disraelis Tories, and the Tory Forward Policy of controlling Afghanistan up to the Hindu
Kush mountain range, was abandoned.
This book is an account of the 1879-80 campaign, plus the brief campaign in Egypt in 1882
that ended with Britains victory at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir and the occupation of
Alexandria, as seen through the eyes of Arthur Male, an army chaplain in both campaigns.
Briskly written, it gives a good idea of Victorian colonial warfare, and is illustrated with
some evocative line drawings. The book is especially topical given the current efforts to
impose western order on the unruly Afghanis.

The 4th (TF) Battalion of the Kings Own went to France in May 1915 as part of the N
Lancashire Brigade (154th), which had replaced a Highland brigade in 51st Highland
Division. The brigades parent division, the West Lancashire Division, had been broken up to
provide reinforcements for the BEF. In January 1916 the division was re-formed in France as
55th (W Lancs) Division and the brigade rejoined it as the 164th. The division became one of
the best in the BEF, winning more VCs (12) than any other non-regular division, including
the only VC and Bar to be awarded (Capt N.Chavasse, RAMC); 4th Kings Own won three
VCs. The battalion fought at Festubert, Arras, the Somme, Third Ypres and at Givenchy
where the divisions memorial is, commemorating its defence of that place in April 1918,
stopping the German assault. This is a good, informative account of the battalions fortunes
in France and Flanders (it could do with maps) and the appendices (which are paginated with
roman numerals) provide a wealth of information: nominal roll of officers on mobilization;
nominal roll of officers who went to France with the battalion; additional nominal roll of all
officers who served with the battalion, listed in order of joining (196 of them!); roll of

This Naval and Military Press series on military technology continues with this very
important publication, which gives details of all ammunition in use by the British Army at the
end of 1914. With few exceptions, it covers ammunition, explosives and propellants in
service to the end of the First World War.
Every military historian, war gamer, re-enactor and reader should be familiar with the
technology associated with the tactics, and this series of reprints aims to provide that
information. No true, objective appreciation of tactical operations is possible without a basic
knowledge of the weapons and ammunition being used at a specific point in time, and the
series will serve as a continuing source of the relevant information.
This volume covers explosives, propellants, fuses and igniters, together with details of all QF
and QFC ammunition for field guns. It also covers military pyrotechnics and signal flares,
together with the sole British hand grenade. Other sections deal with small arms ammunition,
and there is a section on the manufacture of the items covered in this important volume.

This volume looks in detail at explosives, cartridges, tubes and primers in detail. It also gives
a treatment of projectiles, explaining the form of shells, and how they are designed for their
purpose. There is a detailed examination of time fuses (the proximity fuse being still a dream
in 1936). Small arms ammunition is described, as are grenades (including the famous Mills
36) and a section deals with military explosives.
There is a wealth of illustration including many colour plates and the book is an essential to
any study of the British Army and its equipment at the start of World War II.

186,475 railwaymen of Great Britain and Ireland joined the Colours during the war and of
these 18,957 lost their lives and here are their names. The various railway companies which
employed them are shown in alphabetical order; there were sixty-five different companies
from the Alexandra (Newport and South Wales) Docks and Railways, to the Great Northern,
to the Midland Great Western of Ireland and finally to the Wirral Railway. This list is in
itself a fascinating comment on the times, indicating as it does the dependency on the
railways to get about and how widespread the system was. Also included is the Underground
Electric Railways of London, making sixty-six companies in all. The dead are shown in

decorations and their Grade (job) and here are some intriguing occupations: Number taker

Order No: 6782
Price: 24.00
This is the first of three volumes describing the part played by the Merchant Navy during the
Great War, undertaken by direction of the Historical Section of the Committee of Imperial
Defence and based on official documents. It takes the story from the outbreak of war to late
Spring 1915, the sinking of the Lusitania and the advent of the ocean-going submarine. But
as a preliminary to that story the author gives as a background an account of the contribution
of British merchant seamen in the past to the countrys maritime history, from Saxon times to
1914. Finally we take a look at the men who sailed in the merchant fleet and the conditions in
which they served, and the evolving relations with the Royal Navy and the situation
regarding the naval reserve. In the summer of 1914 the Mercantile Marine consisted of some
170,000 men of British birth together with about 100,000 fishermen (how many fishermen
are left today?).
The war at sea in the early months of the war was concerned mainly with German surface
raiders and their attacks on British shipping, using armed merchant cruisers such as
Kronprinz Wilhelm and Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, and also naval vessels such as Emden,
perhaps the most famous of them all. Mines and submarines, too, were soon a major concern
and the steps taken by the Admiralty and other departments to afford protection to the
Mercantile Marine are described at length. A most interesting feature is the account of the
formation, organization and development of The Auxiliary Patrol, a great assemblage of s...
Volume II continues the narrative from the Lusitania sinking to the eve of the German
Declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare on 1st February 1917. During these twenty
months the war at sea passed through what the author calls an intermediate stage, though with
one or two diplomatic exchanges between Germany and the USA over U boat tactics, with

government was forced to exercise more control over the operations of their submarine

account of the blockade of Germany carried out by the 10th Cruiser Squadron, screening the
450 mile stretch between the north of Scotland and Iceland. It quickly became apparent that

This final volume of the history of the Merchant Navy takes us from the onset of unrestricted
submarine warfare to the conclusion of hostilities, and its prime concern is to give an account
of the ordeal to which the seamen were subjected in the last twenty months of the war. But it
also gives a good account of how the Merchant Navy took the war to the enemy through the
10th Cruiser Squadron and the Auxiliary Patrol, and in surface engagements involving British
armed merchant cruisers. The losses to British merchant shipping make grim reading. For the
five months from February 1917 (the start of intensive U boat operations) to the end of June
1,837,842 tons (590 ships) were lost at a cost of 2,942 lives; April was the worst month of
the war with 516,394 tons (155 ships) sunk by submarines and 997 lives lost. During this
period the convoy system was introduced and developed and problems and successes are
discussed as well as other steps taken to combat the menace of the U boat and mine: the
hydrophone; the depth charge; dazzle painting and its effect; the paravane; the smoke screen
and the tactics of stalking and hunting.
The German attitude to Hospital ships in light of the Berlin Declaration of 28 January 1917 is
discussed. This declaration is reproduced in full and the British response to accusations of
misuse of ships sailing under the Red Cross. Several sinkings of hospital ships are described,
that of the Llandovery Castle on 27 June 1918 (only 24 survivors out of 258) in great detail.

This is a novel about Gallipoli in which the central character is a young officer, SubLieutenant Rodney Wilmot, serving in the [fictitious] Vernon and Keppel Battalions of the
Royal Naval Division. The author himself served in the Drake Battalion and the vivid
account of the fighting and life in the trenches of Gallipoli is based on personal experience;
he was there for six months and spent the last ten days in the front lines, getting away on the
last night of the evacuation (8th/9th Jan 1916). Following Gallipoli he served six months in
France where he commanded A Company of the Drake Battalion before being invalided
home from the Somme. But this story, in which all the names of the characters, except in
minor instances, are fictitious, is concerned only with the Gallipoli campaign, from when
Rodney lands at the end of May 1915 to the evacuation six months later, thus the story
mirrors the authors experience. It may be a novel but it has all the authority of one who went
through that terrible campaign and is describing his own experiences - it is real!

A nail-bitingly exciting narrative, this is the history of a specialist RFC Scout squadron
formed in in 1916. which served above the western front in the battles of the Somme, Arras,
third Ypres (Passchendaele) and the German offensives in March 1918, when it became Sixty
Squadron of the new RAF. Although there is a full discussion of technical problems, a
glossary of technical terms and a guide to the aircraft with which the Squadron was equipped,
the main aim of the book is telling the thrilling story of air combat against the formidable
German enemy. As Lord Hugh Cecil writes in his vivid Preface: Many people feel
apprehensive at flying at all....but to fly and fight, to sit alone in an aeroplane thousands of
feet above the ground, to catch sight of an enemy, to go to attack him, flying faster than an
express train moves, to venture near as may be dared, knowing that the slightest collision
will cast both helpless to the ground, to dodge and dive and turn and spin, to hide in clouds or
in the dazzle of the sun, to fire a machine gun while not losing mastery of the control and
rudder of ones own aeroplane, to notice the enemys bullets striking here and there on ones
machine, and know that if a bullet hits the engine it means either death or a precarious
landing and captivity, and if a bullet hits the petrol tank it means being burned alive in the air,
and yet to fight on and, escaping, to go forth afresh next day - surely to read of this is to
realise with new and penetrating force the stupendous measure of wha...For more information

Despite the antics on television of the Warmington on Sea Home Guard platoon, the men of
the Home Guard were often experienced soldiers who were just too old for active service
overseas. In the Home Guard these men provided what was a fine force in defence of the
United Kingdom. Interestingly the Home Guard was disbanded the day before the Germans
formed their own Volkssturm.
The pamphlet was used too train men in defence and local counter attack.
Subjects covered include the organisation of defence and battle headquarters, road blocks and
counter attack. There are also details of house clearing and house defence, the principles of
which have not changed to today.
Amply illustrated with diagrams and a number of photographs of the 3-inch OSB or Smith
gun
The 3-inch mortar was one of the most effective battalion weapons, used for medium and
long range support and bombardment on the battlefield. It has served the British Army in
various forms (it is now the 81mm Mortar) for many decades. It delivers a high explosive
charge at high angle, allowing it to be effective against troops on the ground, troops in
trenches, and to bring fire behind intervening obstacles such as buildings, trees and hills.
The pamphlet gives full details of the weapon including the mounting, base plate and sights.
The working stores are listed and there is a substantial examination of ammunition and fuses.
Four plates show the weapon assembled, the mounting, the sights and the bomb.

Camouflage and concealment are subjects which are often forgotten in the heat of battle, but
they are so fundamental to survival on the battlefield that instruction has been emphasised
ever since the British Army discarded the line and went over to khaki and skirmish lines.
This pamphlet looks in great detail at the reasons for concealment, and what can be seen from
the air. Concealment for the individual is covered as are the principles of concealment for
small units. Artificial aids to concealment are also examined, as well as natural materials, and
their use is shown in the accompanying photographs.
The pamphlet also shows, by right and wrong illustrations, how to conceal infantry and
their weapons, wheeled vehicles, armoured fighting vehicles, artillery and headquarters.
The photographs in the publication are sourced from both training examples and actual war
pictures, and show how important good camouflage is.

In September 1914 a proposal was put forward by Lloyd George to form a Welsh Army
Corps consisting of two divisions. The base on which to build this corps was no more than
the three Welsh regiments - Royal Welsh Fusiliers, South Wales Borderers and the Welsh
Regiment, and although permission was at first given to go ahead with the proposal it was
eventually dropped in April 1915 and just the one division took the field, the 38th (there was
already a Welsh Territorial Division, the 53rd). All the discussions concerning the formation
of the corps are contained in the publication Welsh Army Corps 1914-1919 described
elsewhere in this book list.
The division was raised as the 43rd in December 1914 but following the break up of the
Fourth New Army in April 1915 to supply reinforcements to the first three New Armies, the
division was renumbered 38 and went to France in December 1915 and served on the
Western Front for the rest of the war. Its divisional sign was the Red Dragon of Wales and its
first GOC was Ivor Philipps, something of a political appointment, who was given the heaveho in July 1916 during the divisions fight for Mametz Wood. In all it suffered 29,380 killed,
wounded and missing - the dead numbered 4419. Honours and Awards amounted to 2,664
including five VCs. Its first major battle was for Mametz Wood in July 1916 in which the
casualty figures reached 4,000 but there was some criticism of the divisions performance,
reflected in the commanders removal in the middle of the battle. But whatever the merits of

first major operation, the unsuccessful attack on Bullecourt in April 1917, and in the second
attack in May it suffered heavy casualties, nearly 3,500. As the war progressed so did the

stands on that battlefield at Havrincourt; its unveiling in June 1922 is fully described in the

March offensive and in the subsequent advance to Victory it confirmed its place among the
best divisions in the BEF, a remarkable achievement. It was the only TF division included in

The 17th Division came into existence on 11 September 1914, the third in seniority of
Kitcheners Second New Army, with brigades numbered 50th, 51st and 52nd. It assembled
around Wareham in Dorset, completed its final training in the Winchester area, and left for
France in July 1915. It fought on the Western Front for the rest of the war, winning four VCs
and suffering 40,258 casualties. Its first commander was Maj-Gen W.R.Kenyon-Slaney, late
Rifle Brigade, who had retired a year earlier at the age of 62; he was replaced after four
months and went back into retirement. The new man was T.D.Pilcher of the Bedfords, who
had come from command of the Burma Division. The divisions first major action was at
Hooge in July-August 1915 and it remained in the Salient for the next eight months, moving
south to the Somme in June 1916 after a short spell in the Armentieres sector. On the opening
day of the Somme offensive 50th Brigade attacked Fricourt and one of its battalions, 10th W
Yorks, sustained 733 casualties of whom 307 were killed, eleven of them officers including
the CO, 2IC, adjutant and two company commanders; this was the highest casualty rate for a

Published in 1917 this pamphlet gives details of the long barrel Luger pistol, sometime
known as the Navy Luger. It also has details and photographs, not only of the weapon, but
of the snail magazine and the detachable stock/holster which could be used to convert the
pistol into a carbine fro use in trench fighting. The Bolo Mauser was a similar weapon.
Useful for all who are interested in German trench fighting methods and equipment, and for
the gun student, as the pamphlet contains details of handling, firing, stripping and assembly.
The Walther P38 pistol in 9mm was a standard issue weapon of the Second World War, and
got a deserved reputation for its ease of handling and durability. One of the few double action
pistols ever issued to any army, the weapon was issued as a sidearm for many German Army
personnel during the war.
The pamphlet (officially H.Dv254) covers handling, stripping, assembly and firing together
with the range practices to be fired by all who carried the weapon.
Although never as famous as the Luger pistol, the weapon was issued to far more troops than
the Luger ever was, being carried by all other ranks who were involved with vehicles
(transport or fighting) as well as many junior officers, and even medical orderlies on the
eastern front, despite the rules of the Geneva Convention, which forbade the carrying of
firearms by medical personnel.
The original is dated as valid from 1 February 1940.
As readers of our publication The German Police will know, the SS and Himmler had
much influence on the organisation and equipment of the Police in the Third Reich. This
pamphlet, issued by Himmlers office, by order of Kurt Daluege, Chief of the Security Police
(at the Central Office of the SD). The pamphlet is of importance to all interested in the
German Police, and to those concentrating on weapons, for it has details of Sauer and Sohn,
Walther, Mauser and Dreyse 7.65 mm pistols.
Each weapon is covered in detail with cutaway drawings, parts lists, and instructions for

On 20 April 1861 the Civil War in the United States opened with the capture of
Norfolk Navy Yard by the Confederate forces from the South, and the war raged for
four more years, with, as usual, the greater number of casualties being among the
infantry. Infantry battle tactics were determined at the time by the firearms with which
they were issued, and the main infantry weapon was the Springfield rifle musket.
This muzzle loaded weapon was slow to fire, and marginally accurate, even with the
new Minie ball: this meant that the tactics on the field of battle were almost
unchanged from those of the Napoleonic wars, fought fifty years previously. This
book shows how such evolutions (they were little more than drills) at battalion level
were adapted and used to enable commanders to deliver the weight of their
firepower on to the enemy. All the prescribed manoeuvres could be practised on the
drill square, so that once the men were in battle, all they had to do was obey orders,
present their weapons and fire. Of course, all the drills in the world do not prevent
panic, and records show that despite all the training, some men reloaded their
weapons so many times without firing that the weapons were rendered useless. The
book is extremely well illustrated with 67 plates of all the movements in plan form.

COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE

HOTCHKISS MACHINE GUN
This book is for the serious student of German arms and their use. It is a complete
training manual from 1931 (H.Dv 240) and covers all arms training in the use of the
rifle (the Kar. 98k), the machine gun (the MG 08/15 and the MG 13) together with
grenade, ammunition and sniping training. As all German training was based on field
operations, every part of the book is involved in teaching the use of the weapons in
the field, so there are no parade ground drills here. The book also includes pistol
training.
What is of equal importance to the text is the illustrative material provided. This
includes a series of pictorial plates showing methods of firing the rifle and the
machine gun in battle, and the MG 08/15 plates are of particular importance.
The German Army at this time was still free of Hitler and his Nazis, but engaging in
the last war - the war in which it introduced infiltration tactics and the machine gun
group as an attacking force. The emphasis throughout the book is the importance of
the machine gun, supported by well-trained riflemen, and the spirit of aggression that
had to be part of every soldiers life in the next war. Although the weapons were to
change in the mid-1930s, the ethos of this training continued, to produce the German
Army that swept through Poland and then the West in 1939 and 1940.(GERMAN

Sniping came of age in the First World War, and the Second World War saw refinements in
aiming equipment which transformed the art of good shooting into a science. This book looks
at the state of the art in 1946, and compiles all the information gained against both the
Germans and the Japanese during the second war. It looks at the personnel chosen to be
snipers, and how they are trained - in shooting, fieldcraft, and long term observation. It also
describes their equipment: the rifle, telescope and binoculars. Fieldcraft is of the utmost
importance to the sniper, and his training and testing is laid out in fine detail. So too are all
aspects of his shooting, from the sources of error to field firing exercises designed to test his
abilities under battle conditions. This is a very important pamphlet because it contains all the
information gathered over forty years of military sniping, and applies it to the modern form
of warfare of the Second World War.
The German Police study made by SHAEF and other more clandestine agencies shows
clearly why the German Police was so different to their British and American counterparts.
German Police covers the history of the German Police and particularly Himmlers
involvement in initially the Gestapo and later with the secret organisations which were all
included in the general term Police. This detailed study examines Himmlers acolytes, the
Higher SS Police Commanders, and the ever present SS involvement in internal security
matters in the Third Reich. It also gives details of the regular police, as well as the more
sinister Security Police (SiPo) and the Security Service (SD). Gestapo and Kripo are
included. The volume is also important in that it contains nine uniform colour plates, sixteen
black and white photographs and a very important colour section on official papers - identity
documents for the regular police, the SS (including the SS pay book), the fire service and the
Hitler Youth fire service, the SiPo, the SD, the Gestapo, the German standard ID card, Racial
German ID cards and other important ID documents.

An interesting and unusual rankers eye view of Victorian colonial military life. The author,
an Aberdeen policeman, served as a Sergeant in the 2nd Battalion of the Duke of Cornwalls
Light Infantry. HIs reminiscences cover garrison duty in Gibraltar and the Egyptian campaign
of 1882. Sergeant Philip was present at the two battles of Kassassin and also fought at the
battle of Tel-el-Kebir. At Kassassin his head was creased by a bullet, and he attributes his
life to his chinstrap chain which deflected the bullet. His memoirs are a fascinating insight
into an NCOs life and should appeal to anyone interested in the Victorian army and the
British Empire at the height of its power. As its author writes: The whole object of this book
is to give the reader as true and clear idea of the soldiers life on the battle- as well as the
tented field, accompanied by a short account of outward sights in the streets of Gibraltar,
Alexandria and Cairo. Illustrated by a frontispiece of the author in Aberdeen city police
uniform.
This is the standard, two-volume history of one of the classic, albeit largely disastrous,
campaigns of Victorian military history - the attempt to impose British rule or influence on
Egypt and the trackless wastes of the Sudan which, then as now, despite much-trumpeted
victories, proved implacably hostile to foreign intervention. The climax of the story is the
tragic saga of Charles Gordon, the charismatic, eccentric, though fatally flawed British
General, whose death at Khartoum provoked a belated expedition down the Nile in a futile
rescue attempt.
Royles history is a model account . A barrister and not a military man himself, he is
unsparing of the political mistakes of successive British administrations - Liberal and
Conservative - to deal with Egypt.
Vol. 1 of the history traces the political background, and the Egyptian Col. Arabis revolt
against British dominance. This in turn provoked a major British intervention designed to
protect investment in the newly-built and vital Suez Canal. Military operations included the
siege and partial destruction of Alexandria, the battle of Tel-el-Kebir and the capture of
Cairo.
Vol 2 opens with the rise of the Mahdi, the humbly-born Sudanese student who claimed the
mantle of an Islamic messiah, and drew thousands of fanatical followers to his cause. At first
the Mahdi swept al before him, destroying an Anglo-Egyptian army under Gen Hicks, and
another under Gen. Baker and crowning his triumphs with the death of Gordon. After the
mahdis death came the less than successful S...For more information please visit www.
Written by its Corps commander, Major-General W.H. Mackinnon, and with a short
foreword by its distinguished Colonel, Field-Marshal Lord Roberts, this record of the City
Imperial Volunteers concentrates on the role played by its infantry section in South Africa.
The unit was raised in the wake of Black Week - the disastrous series of defeats inflicted on
the British by the Boers at Colenso, Magersfontein and Stormberg - which, as Mackinnon
admits, left the nation depressed .. though not in despair. Recruited in a wave of patriotic
fervour, the C.I. V. sailed for South Africa in the first weeks of the 20th Century; marched
from the Orange River to the Vaal, and saw its first action at Doorn Kop, where it helped
defeat the Boers in a skirmish. Marching round Pretoria, the unif formed part of General Ian
Hamiltons force in the two-day action at Diamond Hill, where it sustained its first fatalities
from Boer shellfire. The C.I.V. occupied the Boer town of heibronm, but were compelled to
evacuate it when it was surrounded by forces led by the famous Boer Commando General
Christiaan De Wet. The final actions of the C.I.V. in the war were a fruitless pursuit of the
elusive De Wet by Kitchener. Mackinnons Journal, originally written for private
circulation, is accompanied by ten appendices, including Nominal Rolls and losses due to
enteric fever. It is illustrated with 18 photographs, and three maps showing the actions at
Doorn Kop, Diamond Hill and the C.I.Vs march through Natal, the Orange Free State and

THE HISTORY OF THE NORFOLK
REGIMENT
4th August 1914 to 31st December 1918
Review by Major Colin Robins: it has been my personal crusade that the real war was not
the spectacular battles, despite the incredible bravery there shown, but was fought in the
trenches, in an eleven month slog, suffering from abysmal weather, poor rations, worn-out
clothing, disease and a determined enemy.Pack travelled out in January 1855 with a ship full
of drafts for different regiments including an Irish regiment which had left its less reliable
old soldiers - a euphemism for the battalions drunks - behind on initial embarkation but now
needed them, sober or not, to replace casualties.He describes the journey, and life in the
trenches on arrival with an attention to detail which is unusual and all the more valuable.This
is one of the less common books on our war and original copies command high prices when
they (rarely) come on the market.The reprint is therefore all the more welcome and is highly
recommended.
The diary of a gunnery officer during ten months service with the Naval Brigade in South
Africa. Burne joined Gen. Bullers force in Natal taking part in operations at Chieveley,
Colenso, Spion Kop and Vaal Krantz between December 1899 and February 1900.Following
the relief of Ladysmith the naval detachment was broken up.The men of HMS Powerful and
HMS Terrible being recalled for service elsewhere.Burne was taken ill with dysentery and
sent to recuperate near Maritzburg.On return to service in April he was given command of a
naval detachment in General Hildyards brigade.The writer gives a personal account of the
eastern advance with reference to the engagement at Almonds Nek in June 1900.Following a
second bout of illness in July the author returned to his unit near Sandspriut in the Transvaal
until recalled from active service in October 1900.The volume contains notes on gunnery
together with a diary of the war up to October 25, 1900. Extracts from despatches and hints
on clothing and equipment for active service are appended.

This history covers the period from the raising of the division to its departure from Gallipoli
for Macedonia in October 1915. It was the first divisional history to appear in print, and it is a
matter for regret that its scope is so narrow a one. As a history its limitation is that it is based
mainly on the authors memory (he served in the division with 5th Connaught Rangers), on
other officers accounts and on other books in print at the time (February 1917). A later
publication would have benefitted from the availability of more official documentation and
other material. Nevertheless, this books informal style makes it an easy read and it is a
tribute to the first Irish Division as such to take its place in the order of battle of the British
Army, and the first to go into action. Appendices list Staff officer casualties and infantry
officer casualties by battalions; all those mentioned in Hamiltons despatches of January and
February 1916, and those who received honours and awards.
The division was the second of Kitcheners First New Army and began to form in Ireland at
the end of August 1914 with battalions from the North and South. It sailed for Gallipoli in
July 1915, landed at Suvla on 6th/7th August and went straight into action at the capture of
Chocolate hill and later in the fighting for Hill 60. In early October it embarked for
Macedonia and by the end of the month it had landed at Salonika, minus its artillery left at
Suvla. Casualties at Gallipoli amounted to some 2,100

This history gives a comprehensive account of the divisions exploits albeit with the
occasional touch of heroics. The maps are disappointing in that while they show the areas of
operations they lack tactical detail. There is, however, a good trench map of the divisional
sector on Gallipoli. The photos are very much a bonus. Among the appendices is a thirty-one
page Roll of Honour listing the dead and missing by battalions and units, though a footnote
observes that complete casualty lists could not be obtained in all cases. The number of dead
listed amount to 6,845, including two brigade commanders. Honours and Awards are also
shown by units (five VCs in all). There is also a list showing the succession of HQ Staff and
commanders down to battalion or equivalent level but without dates of appointment. Finally,
and perhaps most annoying, there is no index.
When, on 10th August 1914, Kitchener called for volunteers among the TF for service
overseas (they had been intended for home service only) some ninety percent of the division
accepted and a month later the division sailed for Egypt and thus had the distinction of being
the first Territorial division to go overseas. In May 1915 it landed at Cape Helles, Gallipoli,
and during the next few months it took part in the Second and Third Battles of Krithia, in the
fighting for the Krithia Vineyard and the Achi Baba feature. Evacuation of the division began
at the end of December 1915 and the last men were taken off on 9th January 1916. During the

The author of this history was CO 159 Brigade RFA (divisional history) from June 1916 to
April 1919. He has written a straightforward, unembellished account beginning with full
details of the raising of the division as a Bantam formation. Descriptions of major operations
are easy to follow and they are supported with clear maps. Minor actions, raids, patrols as
well as individual acts of bravery are all taken into account. Numerous appendices include
casualty lists by units by year, details of Order of Battle at various stages, and Honours and
Awards. An instructive history which takes the story to the end of April 1919 and makes a
point of mentioning as many names as possible, as the ten page index demonstrates.
The last division of Kitcheners Fourth New Army, the 35th was initially formed in
December 1914 as the 42nd Division, but was renumbered when the original Fourth New
Army was broken up in April 1915. All the infantry battalions were Bantams (height 5ft 5ft 3 ins) but not the divisional troops (artillery, engineers etc) nor the pioneers. In December
1915 the division was warned for Mesopotamia and tropical clothing and pith helmets were
issued and when they paraded on Salisbury Plain wearing their helmets the Bantams were
said to look like overgrown mushrooms. A month later the destination was changed to the
Western Front where the division arrived in February 1916. When it took over the line in
March each man took two sandbags so that when filled and placed on the firestep the men
could see over the parapet....For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com
This book is a godsend to genealogists and medallists, containing as it does the service
records of some 1,800 officers of the Green Howards, beginning with the man who was
commissioned by the Prince of Orange to raise and equip a regiment of foot, known in later
years as the 19th Foot - Francis Luttrell. The regiment was formed in November 1688 and, in
accordance with the custom of the time, it was named after its founder with the title Colonel
Francis Luttrells Regiment of Foot.
Thereafter the title changed with the Colonels name till 1751 when the system of numbering
the regiments was introduced and it became 19th Foot. After a few more changes of title the
regiment officially became The Green Howards on 1st January 1921; it is still known by that
name, one of only four English and Welsh infantry regiments to have been unaffected by all
the amalgamations and re-amalgamations that have killed off other regiments of the line.
The amount of information on each officer varies from a few lines to entries with quite an
amount of detail about the officer concerned, especially where decorations have been
awarded and citations are quoted. Letters from COs and others as well as extracts from local
papers or other sources are sometimes quoted in cases where the officer has been killed in
action or died on service. The index lists every officer in the book.

This book is laid out in five parts, the first takes the history of the Regiment from 1859 to the

the Scond Battalion, the Amalgamated Battalion and finally the Depot and Reserve battalion
during the war. There is a list of honours and awards but no roll of honour nor index.The
foundation of the Rangers as a unit of the Volunteer Force was laid in 1859 and the first part
of the book contains a brief record their history from then to the outbreak of war, including
descriptions of dress and equipment and names of officers and the Rangers part in the S
African War. On formation of the Territorial Force in 1908 the battalion became The
Rangers, the 12th (County of London Battalion), The London Regiment, in the 3rd Brigade
of the 1st London Division. In December 1914 the battalion left the division and landed in
Le Havre on Xmas Day and joined GHQ troops (L of C) till February 1915 when it was
transferred to 84th Brigade, 28th Division; it took heavy casualties during Second Ypres.
Then it moved down to Gommecourt and in that ill-fated attack suffered 560 casualties.

This manual deals with antitank gunnery and tactics and was issued in 1939.
It deals with the training and use of the German 3.7cm Pak antitank gun. It is
an addition to the original Reibert (also published by Naval and Military
Press), but is a complete training manual in itself.
It covers the basics weapon training for rifle and machine gun, as well as for
the 3.7cm Pak, and is full of relevant diagrams, drawings and plates to explain
(even to the non German reader) how the gun was operated, and the tactics
for its employment in battle. The gun itself was a light antitank weapon, and
often disparaged by the soldiers who fought by its side, but it had enough
penetration to discomfort many French and British tank commanders in 1940,
and it also went into Russia until the T34 ended its front line usefulness.
The book looks at aiming and firing the gun, and gives a number of
silhouettes of likely targets (including Russian tanks, interestingly). It is a
first class introduction into German antitank tactics, and needs to be studied
in depth, particularly with its sister publication Reibert: Der Dienstunterricht
im Heere - Ausgabe fr den Schtzen der Schtzenkompanie, also published
by Naval and Military Press. ( German language.)

The field sports - hunting, shooting and fishing - that they enjoyed at home were also
essential to the expatriate lifestyle of the gentlemen who ran the British Empire. The
abundant opportunities for hunting big game and other exotic species meant that many wellknown sportsmen made their reputations on the plains and in hills of India, Burma and
Ceylon.
These two volumes cover hunting in the East, particularly India, at the beginning of the 19th
Century. An outstanding feature of the books are the many superb colour illustrations taken
from lithographs by the well-known animal artist Samuel Howitt. The text, by the military
sportsman Captain Thomas Williamson, is of interest both to natural historians as well as to
hunters, containing as it does the natural history and the hunting of the elephant, rhinoceros,
tiger, leopard, bear, deer, buffalo, wolf, wild hog, jackal, wild dog, and the civet.
The field sports celebrated in these books may have gone out of fashion in our politically
correct age, but these memoirs and the many coloured plates are an item for the collector to
treasure.
Extremely rare and extremely important, this fabulously illustrated book was commissioned
by the Duke of Cumberland, the victor of Culloden, presented to his brother, King George II,
and shows in 94 colour illustrations the uniform of all units and establishments of the British
army at that time (1742). As such, it is the official template from which all subsequent

This is a reprint of a rare drill book from the Royal Armoury library in Leeds. It is a fully
illustrated manual, with 96 plates and accompanying text explaining the movements and the
orders needed to execute them. The manual covers saluting in no less than 15 plates. Manual
exercise is the drill for the rank and file, and a sequence of no less than 48 plates show
musket drill in detail. Every single movement in musket drill is covered, and so the plates
show loading and priming the musket step by step. Other plates show handing the weapon on
the parade square and on the field (including the archaic club your firelock command).
Subsequent plates show the drill for fixing bayonets and for presenting the bayonet to the
enemy as well as on the square. This section ends with the drills for unfixing bayonets, and
shouldering arms. The final section of the book gives the drills for small sword, and nine
plates cover the guard, thrust, tierce and pass in tierce. This book is invaluable to historians of
the British Army, of firearms and side arms, and is faithfully reproduced from the original
copy held at the Royal Armouries.
The Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in 1806 was the Duke of York. His
innovations as described in this valuable book and practised in Londons Hyde Park, were
essentially manoeuvre, and the experiments consisted of trying various methods of
combining infantry, artillery and cavalry on the parade ground, to evaluate their possible use
in battle.
At this time, early in the Napoleonic Wars, troops had to move en masse, for there was no
other way that infantry in particular would be able to give effective fire on the battlefield. The
accompanying artillery and cavalry, although having greater fire or shock effect, were
transitory, and, then as now, only the infantry could take and hold ground. The experiments
are graphically supported by a frontispiece which shows the effect of fire at various ranges,
and which clearly illustrates the problems facing infantry commanders when ordering their
men to fire on the enemy. The experiments here described were to find out how long various
infantry and cavalry charges would take to close upon the attacked force, and to how many
volleys of musket fire the advancing troops would be exposed. The results of similar
experiments in Jersey, and the whole book is completed with a number of observations made
by suitable commentators of the period.

PRINCIPLES OF MILITARY
MOVEMENTS (1788) CHIEFLY
APPLIED TO INFANTRY
Col David Dundas
This, the second of Huttons books to be reprinted by Naval and Military Press (the other is
Cold Steel: a practical treatise of the sabre) is extremely rare, for only 300 copies were
printed. The author, ex-Kings Dragoon Guards, was an acknowledged fencing expert, who
made it his business to know the history of his sport as well as the practical application of it.
Here he looks at the 15th to 16th centuries, and starts by looking at the two-handed sword. He
continues with a history of the rapier and the dagger, the broadsword and the buckler,
spending much time on a detailed history of both development and use of these weapons. He
also looks at the practice of fighting with dagger and cloak and rapier and cloak, an almost
balletic art much done in the fifteenth century. His next topic looks at the eighteenth century,
after dealing with the transition period between swordplay and sport. The plates cover the
various stages and movements of fencing, all of which are adapted from contemporary prints
created by the masters of the art of the specific time. In all a very rewarding treatment of the
art and its history.
The full title of this excellent book is The Army and Navy Gentlemens Companion or A
New and Complete Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Fencing which says all that is
really needed in any title. The book is divide into three parts. The first deals with the basics
of the Guard, simple parades and thrusts, together with how to hold a sword or foil, and the
performance of simple manoeuvres and movements. The second part concerns counter
parades, counter disengagements, feints and glizades, and the final part of the book looks at
assaults and attacks in general. Like many books of the period it was meant to be both
introduction to the subject and a guide to the intricacies of fencing, so that the middle class
could gain an insight, and even experience, of the art of fencing, regarded as a gentlemans
sport as well as a method of fighting battle. The book is well illustrated and clearly written,
making it a first class source for fencing knowledge, as well as being a publication of its time,
and worth reading for that alone.
One of the most influential British drill books of the 18th Century whose core, with small
alterations, was to become in 1792 the regulation manual for the army.The author, who was
later to become Adjutant General, toured the continent often and attended the Prussian
manoeuvres of 1785.He was one of many officers who believed that the British experience in
North America had led to an over reliance on light infantry and a belief that speed of
manoeuvre was of more importance than heaviness of fire power.His book was a much
needed restatement of the necessity and value of properly trained heavy infantry.

Order No: 8584
Price: 15.00
Hansards book is as much about preserving the ancient sport and tactic of archery as it is
about its history, but the history he presents is in the very best Victorian tradition. He details
every instance quoted, and often illustrates his points as well, and covers the archer from
before the Norman Conquest of 1066 up to archery at Harrow and Eton in 1840, when the
book was published. His history travels far afield, and he patriotically writes about the
adroitness of English bowmen, as well as the ancient Goths and Persians, Scandinavian
archers, Indian bowmen, and archers in the Americas. His treatment is excellent, easy to read
and most informative. Hansard also looks at what the archer of 1840 needed, and at the then
new-fangled phenomenon of lady archers. He deals with Welsh archers and their history. His
account of French archery leads into a discussion of the crossbow. Although not
chronological, and sometimes illogical, the treatment of archery examines the wood for the
bow, arrow-making, hunting with the bow, and lastly Greek and Roman archery. The
woodcut plates are informative and often delightful, with clear delineation and
expressiveness. In all a really charming and well-resented book, which will stand both as a
reference text and simply a first class read.

This history covers the period from the raising of the division to its departure from Gallipoli
for Macedonia in October 1915. It was the first divisional history to appear in print, and it is a
matter for regret that its scope is so narrow a one. As a history its limitation is that it is based
mainly on the authors memory (he served in the division with 5th Connaught Rangers), on
other officers accounts and on other books in print at the time (February 1917). A later
publication would have benefitted from the availability of more official documentation and
other material. Nevertheless, this books informal style makes it an easy read and it is a
tribute to the first Irish Division as such to take its place in the order of battle of the British
Army, and the first to go into action. Appendices list Staff officer casualties and infantry
officer casualties by battalions; all those mentioned in Hamiltons despatches of January and
February 1916, and those who received honours and awards.
The division was the second of Kitcheners First New Army and began to form in Ireland at
the end of August 1914 with battalions from the North and South. It sailed for Gallipoli in
July 1915, landed at Suvla on 6th/7th August and went straight into action at the capture of
Chocolate hill and later in the fighting for Hill 60. In early October it embarked for
Macedonia and by the end of the month it had landed at Salonika, minus its artillery left at
Suvla. Casualties at Gallipoli amounted to some 2,100
The author served as the divisions GSO1 from March 1918 to its demise in March 1919. In
his preface he states his aim to include as many names as possible, and in doing so he has
added human interest to a graphic, detailed account of the part played by one of Kitcheners
divisions on the Western Front and in Italy. The appendices are particularly useful, including
the divisional order of battle, with any changes; successive reorganisations of the divisional
artillery; succession of commanders and staff with dates of appointment; summary of
honours and awards, British and Foreign (over3,200 including nine VCs); extracts from the
Battles Nomenclature Committee Report identifying those battles in which the division took
part. There is a comprehensive index and to conclude this admirable History there is a
chronological record of the divisions activities with dates and reference to the pages of the
History where they are mentioned. The 23rd Division, one of Kitcheners Third New Army
divisions, began forming in the middle of September 1914 in the Aldershot area. The
divisional sign is a red cross patte on a white disc, all encircled by a red ring; the significance
and origin is not known. The division landed in France in August 1915 and for the next two
years it fought on the Western Front - in the Armentieres and Carency sectors, on the Somme
where it captured Contalmaison, Munster Alley and Le Sars. It took part in the June 1917
Messines offensive and in Third Ypres, after which it moved to Italy in November 1917. In
June 191...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com
This history gives a comprehensive account of the divisions exploits albeit with the
occasional touch of heroics. The maps are disappointing in that while they show the areas of
operations they lack tactical detail. There is, however, a good trench map of the divisional
sector on Gallipoli. The photos are very much a bonus. Among the appendices is a thirty-one
page Roll of Honour listing the dead and missing by battalions and units, though a footnote
observes that complete casualty lists could not be obtained in all cases. The number of dead
listed amount to 6,845, including two brigade commanders. Honours and Awards are also
shown by units (five VCs in all). There is also a list showing the succession of HQ Staff and
commanders down to battalion or equivalent level but without dates of appointment. Finally,
and perhaps most annoying, there is no index. When, on 10th August 1914, Kitchener called
for volunteers among the TF for service overseas (they had been intended for home service
only) some ninety percent of the division accepted and a month later the division sailed for
Egypt and thus had the distinction of being the first Territorial division to go overseas. In
May 1915 it landed at Cape Helles, Gallipoli, and during the next few months it took part in
the Second and Third Battles of Krithia, in the fighting for the Krithia Vineyard and the Achi
Baba feature. Evacuation of the division began at the end of December 1915 and the last men
were taken off on 9th January 1916. During the campaign it suffered 8,547 casualt...For more

Japanese armed forces entered the Second World War with the attack on Pearl Harbour in the
Pacific Ocean on 7 December, 1941. Almost simultaneously Japanese land forces invaded the
Malayan peninsula, sweeping southwards towards Singapore. Although the attacks were
shrouded in initial secrecy, both American and British Intelligence had studied the Japanese
forces, and this is one of the resulting publications. The pamphlet is a very rare item, and is
reprinted because of both its rarity and importance.
General Headquarters India issued it in March 1942, and it covers the Japanese Army and, to
a lesser degree, the Japanese Air Force. As with all military intelligence publications the
pamphlet starts with an overview of the subject, in this case the political influence of the
Japanese Army, which was considerable. There follows a detailed examination of the
organisation of the Army and its administration. Chapters on infantry, cavalry, artillery,
armoured fighting vehicles and airborne troops are accompanied by descriptions of Japanese
engineer and service troops. There are also descriptions of chemical warfare, tactics (all
forms), and the fifth column, so important in the campaign in Malaya. There are tables and
coloured plates to illustrate the pamphlet, and line drawings of Japanese tanks and their flags,
together with some contemporary photographs of Japanese troops in action.
There are many books about Napoleon, and some of them attempt to analyse his particular
brand of military genius. Almost all these books owe a tremendous debt to Colonel Count
Yorck von Wartenburg. His book was published at the end of the nineteenth Century and is
still as important today; indeed, Dr David Chandler acknowledges that he used the book as
one of the primary works when researching his momentous history of Napoleon.
After a brief look at Napoleons youth and early career Wartenburg sets out Napoleons
military exploits chronologically, beginning with the campaign in Italy, and the battles for
Mantua. The first volume then describes the campaigns in Egypt and Syria before giving an
account of the first of Napoleons great battles: Marengo. Ulm, Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau and
Friedland complete Volume I.
Volume II covers Spain, Ratisbon, Wagram and the ill-fated invasion of Russia. After
Moscow and the Beresina crossing came the armistice, and then Dresden and Leipzig. The
book ends with the exile of Napoleon for the last time after his defeat at Waterloo.
The writing is always clear and uncomplicated, suiting a description of twenty years in
Europe which threw the political map into confusion, and had as legacy the mistrust between
France and the remainder of the continent, and the growth of Prussian military might and
British complacency in military matters.
Ezekial Baker was the inventor of the Baker rifle, and had 60 years of gun making to his
credit, as well as the fact that is rifle was issued to the British Army. Baker writes about the
early history of rifling, percussion locks, and casting lead balls for muskets and rifles. He also
advises the reader on how to aim and use his rifle, as well as looking at fowling pieces (shot
guns in modern parlance) and blunderbusses.
The book is not just a self-encomium however, as he looks at the history of the early rifle, a
subject of considerable importance to all military historians as well as firearms historians.
There is also a description of the early method of proofing barrels, and how to burst a
blunderbuss.
The construction of firearms is described, with some valuable comments on stocking
weapons and on the percussion lock, the important transitional firing method between
flintlock and the firing pin.
The appendices include a handy aide-memoire of shot to the ounce and a table of the weights
and diameters of lead ball.

This is a sales brochure for the Accles machine gun, which was a competitor in the machine
gun race of the late 19th Century when the weapon was beginning to revolutionise warfare.
The Accles was an improved Gatling-type weapon, with a battery of rotating barrels. The
book promotes the weapon with the aid of 4 black and white plates and 24 colour line
drawings. Included are instructions for using the gun when mounted on a naval landing
carriage, and a complete description of the Accles including weights and dimensions, tools
and spare parts. There are also includes instructions on stripping and assembling the gun, as
well as firing and clearing jams and other stoppages. This is a rare book of interest to all
firearms enthusiasts.
Although the Accles was not issued officially, records show that it was used on some
occasions by independent business companies against pirates in the Far East.
Among the many valuable volumes in the well-tilled field of firearms history, this book
stands out. Its importance lies in its detailed look at the development of weapons from the
16th to the 19th centuries from the wheel- and matchlock to the percussion system. Early in
that period gunsmiths made customised individual weapons, with no interchangeable parts,
and only rough parity in ballistics. Jackson looks at these early weapons, and then describes
the Snaphaunce guns that followed them. The flintlocks and muskets of the 17th Century and
18th Century come next, with the percussion bullet completing the story.
There is a substantial appendix on Scottish Firearms by Charles E. Whitelaw, accompanied
by a list of Scottish gun makers. Scottish guns were finely made and had a style of their own,
which is well illustrated by this section.
There are 141 illustrations which add greatly to this volumes value and to the feast of
information it contains.
This valuable manual, published in 1884, bridges a gap in military theory and practice
between the Napoleonic Wars and the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.
Although its author, a Major in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and a former
instructor at Aldershot, modestly describes it as a series of notes strung together for purposes
of instruction it is far more than that. Prevost examines contemporary military methods and
compares different armies, building up a global picture of the military arts in the 1880s. He
has practical descriptions (and illustrations) of everything from building a bivouac to digging
a latrine. The chapters deal with elementary tactics, living in the field (including building
trenches - which would come in useful twenty years later), and the three arms (infantry,
cavalry and artillery). The tactical instruction and commentary looks at the infantry in the
attack, the use of guards (advance, flanking and rear), together with outposts and march
disciplines. The next section of the book deals with a subject familiar to all soldiers in all
ages: minor operations, obstacles, demolitions and river crossing. This is an exceptional book
which is well illustrated with over 130 drawings and 10 plates, which covering, among much
else, the defence of villages and woods, and fortified houses.
Until Oliver Cromwells New Model Army set the standard for the British Army Britain was
badly served by her land forces. The fleet had protected this island from invasion, and had it
not been effective and reasonably efficient there is little doubt that a determined force of
moderate size could have landed, and captured the seat of government in London with little
resistance from the land forces of James I or Charles I. This book looks at the army Cromwell
built, and how it was organised, trained and how it operated. Firth gives the background to
the military situation on the eve of the English Civil War, and then explains why the New
Model Army was needed, both by Cromwell and by the nation. He delves into the infantry,
the cavalry and the artillery and gives a good account of siege warfare, still a part of
operational technique. Firth goes on to give details of the administration of the army: how it
was paid, how it was fed and watered, how it was clothed, equipped and mounted. He also
describes the social aspects of this army - care of the wounded and old soldiers (something
completely revolutionary), and he accounts for the discipline in the army. Last of all he looks
at religion and politics in the army. of which much has been written, and which here is
explained in the most straightforward manner, something that many modern writers fail to do.

This translation of the Military Field Pocket Book containing the tactical thinking and
military methods of the great General von Scharnhorst, architect of Prussias successful
resistance to Napoelons s domination, was translated in 1811 when Britains war with
Napoleon was at its height, and when the Emperor, save in Spain, still seemed invincible.
Young officers, although now being trained on a structured basis, often still lacked personal
experience of operations against the enemy. Scharnhorsts work was intended to give such
young men (who would be commanding in the field by the time of the Battle of Waterloo)
some expert insight and guidance into their profession.
The first part of the book concerns the instructions for infantry and cavalry officers . The
manual is full of useful advice on such things as surprising sentries, finding the enemy and
capturing couriers. Another important section describes the practical aspects of field
fortifications, and how they should be built. There are examples of obstacles that can be put
in the enemys path, as well as wise counsel on how to overcome the same when attacking.
This is a military masterclass from a genius at warfare.

even though attack was the only watchword of many of their officers. To use the bladed
weapons with which they were issued required training, and when facing a cavalry charge it
was crucially important that the defensive square be not broken at the moment of contact
between foot and mounted troops. The square offered protection by limited firepower, but
once the cavalry was within sabre range only the combined efforts of the foot soldiers could
prevent the mass of a horse at speed penetrating the line. If the cavalry could cut its way into
the square, the formation would be destroyed piecemeal.
This book emphasises the principles of such a defence, and cautions that simplicity is the best
basis for action. The line drawings are superb, and complement the text. The detail in the
drawings will give information to all those interested in the equipment as well as the weapons
at the time of the Napoleonic Wars.
The duel has always engaged the mind and there are so many fictional accounts of these man
to man combats, with the mist of dawn swirling on the heath, the crack of a shot, and a
distraught female rushing to the side of the mortally wounded and often innocent youngster
on the ground, killed by the older and much less attractive combatant.
The truth of the matter is often more prosaic, but these two volumes give the whole history of
the subject, tracing dueling back to the field of honour of mediaeval times through to 1841.
The first part of the book deals with the earlier events in the history of one-to-one combat,
looking at how the rules of dueling developed, and how dueling became a substitute for the
joust. It also brings out the connection with wrestling, gladiators, boxing and even female
boxers.
There are very good analyses of dueling on the continent as well as in Great Britain, which
adds to the value of this book.
The real value of the book is twofold: there is a detailed account of the background to dueling
and the various alternative forms of this ultimate trial of courage, and there is an account of
the duels fought during the reigns of George II and George IV. Among the latter are details of
duels between George Garrick and a Mr Baddeley in 1810, between Charles James Fox and
Mr Adam in 1779, between HRH the Duke of York and Colonel Lennox in 1789, between
the Duke of Bedford and the Duke of Buckingham in 1822, between the Duke of Wellington

This delightful and informative book should be required reading for historical novelists,
painting as it does a picture of the English at play. And rough play it was too, since its
essence was frequently, that something, either human or animal, should die. The author
comments that the Anglo-Saxons were a dull lot, sports-wise, but the arrival of the Normans
and the reign of Henry VIII soon rectified that.
The re-publication of this book by N&MP in association with the National Armouries is
particularly timely since it gives an account of many sports which are currently under threat
from Government or animal right lobbyists, including hunting with hounds (stag, boar, hare,
fox), shooting, pugilism and horse racing, as well as such less controversial sports as football,
bowls, wrestling, cricket and tennis. More ancient pastimes covered include falconry (now
experiencing something of a comeback), jousting, tilting at the quintain and fighting the pel
(and the interesting water quintain), archery - also experienceing a revival -, bowls as a
courtiers game, quarter-staff and singlestick and cudgel play, gladiatorial boxing and
wrestling, the old pub games (skittles, nine-pins, Kayle pins, Loggats, quoits and marbles,
shove-hapenny), cock-fighting, throwing at cocks, bull-baiting and (contrary to Spanish lore)
bull-running, dog-fighting, bear- and badger-baiting and rat killing.
This rare and splendidly reproduced book is a companion volume to Millingtons History of
Duelling, and gives further insight into the history of the duel. The historical examination
begins by looking at the origin and history of ordeals around the world, and the parallel
development of the trial by single combat, which then developed into the duel. It also gives
details of the civil right in the Middle Ages to claim the right to trial by single combat and the
similar right in criminal law, whereby the accused could challenge the accuser to stand and
fight, the winner being in the right legally.
The Court of Chivalry or Honour is described with its function and status in history,
important in understanding the ethos surrounding these curious practices.
There is also a listing of no fewer that 172 famous duels, giving further details supplementing
those in Millington, as well as the facts about other duels. This is a book which should not be
missed by the enthusiast for duels, sword-fighting and the history of ordeals, chivalry and
honour.

This second of the three-volume history of one of the oldest Infantry regiments in the British
Army tells the SLIs story from the aftermath of the Great War through to the end of the
Second World War. IT was written, according to its author, while memories of that conflict
were still fresh in the minds of those who fought it. The SLI was in the forefront of the
belated mechanisation of the British Army during the 1930s as the threat of war loomed.
During the Phoney War, apart from its 1st battalion in India, the Regiment was on home
defence duties. While the majority of the Regiment trained at home for the conflict ahead, the
1st battalion helped fight off the Japanese threat to India in the Arakan campaign. The
regiment took part in the invasion of Sicily and Italy, landing art Salerno, and fighting its way
up Italy through Rome to Florence. Meanwhile other battalions odf the regiment landed in N
ormandy on D-Day as airbourne troops, and took part in the Battle of the Falaise Gap.
In the final phase of the war in Europe, the SLI crossed the Rhine and advanced deep into the
heart of Germany. After the Italian campaign, other elements of the regiment helped occupy
Greece. The main text is accompanied by 12 appendices, six photographs, seven general
maps, and 22 local maps.
Price: 12.50
This third and final volume in the 274-year old history of one of the British Armys most
distinguished infantry regiments narrates its part in the retreat from Empire. In these pages
covering the immediate post-Second World War years of 1946-1960, the regiment witnesses
the end of the Raj in India; and occupation service in Greece, Austria and Germany. The SLI
then fought Communist jungle insurgency in the Malayan Emergency and was mobilised to
take part in the abortive Suez operation of 1956. The final chapter in the SLIs story is its
amalgamation with the equally distinguished West Country regiment, the Duke of Cornwalls
Light Infantry. It is, as Field-Marshal Lord Harding writes in his foreword a proud story of
devoted and distinguished service in many different parts of the world. With 18 b&w photos,

Originally formed in August/September 1914 as 8 Hy Bty, the first heavy battery of the New
Armies to be raised after the outbreak of war, the designation was changed to 14 at the
beginning of October 1914. When the battery went to France in May 1915 it was equipped
with 4.7 guns but in June 1916 it was re-equipped with 60-pounders, just in time for the
Somme. Usually War Diaries were not opened till the unit went on active service but in this
case the diary begins on 3 October 1914 so we learn something about training and
preparation in the UK. We havent seen an awful lot in print about Royal Garrison Artillery
units in action so this publication makes interesting reading. There is a very useful map
showing the part of the Western Front where the battery fought and marking positions in
which it was in action. The sites are numbered and the accompanying key identifies the
location and gives the dates the battery was there. The Roll of Honour lists all casualties,
dead, wounded and gassed, often with details of the wound, e.g. gunshot wound right leg.
Honours and Awards give citations for all awards. Finally there is list of officers who served
with the battery with brief service details including date of arrival and departure(with reasons
such as wounded, evacuated sick, posting etc).

wheel drive tractors. The first chapter discusses the employment of heavy artillery in the two
basic roles: counter-bombardment and bombardment. It describes changes in tactics and
techniques, support for surprise assaults (first used at Cambrai in 1917) involving secrecy and
concealment.
The Battery left for France in April 1917 and fought on the Western front for the rest of the
war - at Messines, Ypres, Cambrai, during the German 1918 offensive, at Amiens, Arras,
Valenciennes and Mons and took part in the march to the Rhine; the last illustration in the
book shows No 1 Gun in position beside the Rhine at Bonn. There is the Roll of all who
served with the Battery which shows in each case final rank, date of joining, departing, why
and where to. All casualties, dead, wounded, gassed, sick etc are also shown against the
relevant name on the roll. At the end are two chapters, one on O.P.s and the other on
Signals, wireless and Lewis guns. Finally there is a table summarising casualties; in all there
were 222 and there is breakdown showing the nature of the casualty, i.e., killed, died of
wounds, gassed etc.
This publication is described as a tactical study based on the Action of 2nd Brigade, R.F.A
(6th Division) during the German Offensive, 1918; the 100 Days Battle; and the Battle of
Cambrai, 1917. It contains three Articles published in the Royal Artillery Journal between
1919 and 1923, which had as one object to place on record a set of actual experiences which
could provide a framework on which to consider the practical effect of the aeroplane, the tank
and chemical warfare on field artillery in battle and to see what lessons might be learned. A
second object was to provide a souvenir of great days of the past for the officers and men
who participated in the events described. The three Articles were entitled : A Field Artillery
Group in Retreat (March/April 1918); A Field Artillery Group in the General Advance
(September/October 1918), and A Field Artillery Group in the Surprise (Cambrai November
1917).

replied accordingly the next day. On 16th October he received another cable recalling him to
London where he was told HMG wanted a fresh, unbiassed opinion, from a responsible
commander, upon the question of an early evacuation. The man chosen was General Sir C.C.
Monro, then C-in-C Third Army in France. Hamilton never received another operational
command. This, then, is his final despatch, written in London and dated 11th December 1915,

throughout the war on the Western Front, having landed in France on 30th August 1915. Both

awarded the DSO and Bar, Brown became 2IC in April 1918 and was awarded an MC. One
officer, Lieut D.J Dean, was awarded the VC in September 1918 for gallantry near Lens.
There is no overall casualty figure though in many cases figures are given for definite actions
or over certain periods; Soldiers Died shows total dead close to 800.
The book is divided into ten phases, arranged chronologically, each phase covering a specific
period described in the list of contents, though for some reason the dates for Phase IV are
omitted in the contents list but given in the text - September 1916 to April 1917. So this is a
continuous narrative, based on the War Diary supplemented by written and spoken
contributions of particiants. It begins with the formation of the battalion, training, the move to
France and the Battle of Loos (September 1914-September 1915), which was the battalions
first major action in which the casualties were appalling. Of the twenty-five officers who
went over the top twenty-four were hit (thirteen killed) and of other ranks over 550 out of
some 900 became casualties. The maps are good and include copies of two trench maps, the

The Auckland Mounted Rifles (A.M.R.) was a wartime regiment, formed in August 1914
from the three Territorial mounted rifle regiments in the Auckland Military District - 3rd
Auckland , 4th Waikato, and the 11th North Auckland. They supplied the officers and most
of the NCOs for the new regiment and the three squadrons were named after their Territorial
parents.
The Regiment sailed for Egypt in October 1914, arriving at Alexandria in December, and five
months later it embarked for Gallipoli. For seven months the A.M.R. fought in that campaign,
suffering some 530 casualties of whom just over 200 died. In December 1915 the Regiment
was taken off and returned to Egypt from where, at the end of May 1916, it embarked on the
second campaign, in the Sinai and then Palestine where it served to the end. There are Rolls
of Honour and lists of wounded for each campaign and finally a list of Honours and Awards.
The B-P of the title is Baden-Powell and the author, Edmund Yerbury Priestman, had been

made up the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade. The approximate strength was 1,850 men
and 2,200 horses. The brigade had fought at Gallipoli, where it had suffered severely, and
following the evacuation had returned to Egypt to become part of the Egyptian Expeditionary
Force. In April 1916 all the other NZ troops which had been in Egypt since the evacuation of
Gallipoli left for France. The Mounted Rifles Brigade were then the only NZ troops
remaining on this front though other units were added subsequently. The brigade was in the
fighting from the start from the first major action, at Romani in August 1916, right through to
the end. The three regiments suffered a total casualty figure of 219 officers and 3,035 other
ranks of whom 1100 died.
The aim of the author was to give an account of the campaign, not just the fighting, of which
there was plenty, but also of the daily life, the surroundings in which they operated and the
places of historical interest through which the men passed. There is quite clearly the feeling

This book tells the story of the field engineers of two Territorial divisions in the Great War,
the 42nd (1st/East Lancashire) Division and the 66th (2nd/East Lancashire) Division, though
nearly all of it (220 pages) is devoted to the 42nd as it describes the fortunes of each of the
field companies, 427th, 428th, 429th and the 42nd Divisional Signal Company in turn. In the
case of the 66th the story of their engineers (430th, 431st, 432nd Companies and 66th
Divisional Signal Company) is given in one continuous, 30-page narrative which embraces
all companies. There is a very brief account of the third line units which did not go overseas.
The Honours and Awards list includes awards to engineer personnel of both divisions, and
the Roll of Honour of both divisions is made out by companies .
After an introduction giving a brief account of the pre-war history of the Lancashire
Volunteer and Territorial engineers the narrative begins, most usefully, with a diary of the
movements of 42nd Divisional Engineers which opens on 4th August 1914 and then records,
with dates, every move of any of the engineer units on and off the battlefields. This division
served not only in Egypt in the early days of the war, but also at Gallipoli (May-Dec 1915),
again in Egypt and the desert throughout 1916, transferring to the Western front in March
1917 where it remained for the rest of the war. There follow a summary of the war history of

1914-1919
This book has a subtitle: Some Records of Battle and Laughter in France which sets the tone
of this history, the history of one of the most remarkable brigades that fought on the Western
Front, part of one of the most remarkable divisions. The 18th (Eastern) Division became an
elite formation, one of Kitcheners Second New Army divisions, which had the advantage of
being commanded by Ivor Maxse, foremost among commanders for his training and
leadership qualities. He commanded it for two and a quarter years and his successor, R.P Lee,
another good commander, lead it for the rest of the war. Only two GOCs in four years of war.
The 54th Brigade was to win eight VCs, the highest number for a non-regular army brigade,
eight out of the eleven awarded to the division. The history is made up of the stories and
recollections of all ranks, and the style is very informal. The compiler or editor has chosen to
remain anonymous, but the result is something like a regimental history, with a good
sprinkling of personalities identified in the narrative. Much is made of the Spirit of the
Brigade, a morale booster undoubtedly helped by the fact the battalions stayed together from
the time they arrived in France in July 1915 till the reorganization of the BEF in February
1918 when brigades were reduced to three battalions. The 54th Brigade certainly saw a great
deal of action and there are plenty of lively descriptions. The Brigade commander tells of his
visit to an emplacement known as Panama House during a lively strafe. The company

This is an illustrated record of the Battle of the Somme, described as a Popular, Pictorial
and Authoritative Work on one of the Great Battles in History. It was published in twelve
fortnightly parts, rather like The War Illustrated, and the page numbering is consecutive right
through. It is interesting to look back on how the progress of that campaign was presented to
the public through official photos and, of course, the famous film, here reproduced in book
form for the first time by arrangement with the War Office. After seeing the film the King
remarked: The public should see these pictures that they may have some idea of what the
Army is doing, and what war means. The illustrations are accompanied by a narrative that
begins with an historical introduction covering the period August 1914 to June 1916. There is
an index to all the pictures and an index for the contents, the latter grouped under subject
matter headings, such as Troops Engaged and Generals in Command; The War by Sea;
Place Names and Descriptions of Actions etc.
The 4th Seaforth Highlanders was one of the Territorial battalions that was in action before
the end of 1914. It fought with the 7th (Meerut) Division, the 15th Scottish and from January
1916 with the 51st Highland. Sixty officers and 1110 other ranks died, one VC was awarded.

In February 1925 the War Office published an Army Order listing the battle honours awarded
for the Great War, and although this was announced as the final list there were subsequent
revisions and minor amendments. No such list was published after WWII but an (unofficial?)
Record was published in 1958 by the War Office, with a limited distribution, which included
the Korean War battle honours, and this is that list with 651 actions. This Record covers only
British, including British Gurkha, Regiments and Colonial Regiments. In most cases there is
a brief summary of the operations with an indication of the troops involved and these include
Commonwealth troops though the question of their Battle Honours is one for the
Commonwealth Government concerned and the Sovereign.
There were a good many errors in the list, typographical, grammatical, misspelling of place
names, dates and order of battle. In some cases there was confusion between those battle
honours which were selected to be carried on the Colours and those which were simply
awarded. Strange new regiments appeared:- Highlanders Light Infantry (a persistent
favourite), Kings Own Yeomanry Light Infantry, the K.A.R.R.R.C, London Irish Fusiliers,
London Irish Buffs, Queens Own Nigeria Regiment (an unauthorised Queens Own), and
the Royal West King Regiment, to name some of them. Place names also caused some
trouble and in some of the brief descriptions of the engagements or actions there were order
of battle mistakes such as the confusion between the 12th Frontier Force R...For more

The title page notes that this history has been approved as an Official Record by the
Committee of Imperial Defence (Historical Section, Military Branch) and that adds to the
pedigree of what is undoubtedly a very good battalion history. The Battalion was raised in
Glasgow on 2nd September 1914 as the 2nd Glasgow by the Lord Provost and City with
many recruits from the Glasgow Boys Brigade. In May 1915 the Battalion moved to Prees
Heath, in Shropshire, where it joined the 97th Brigade of the 32nd Division and sailed for
France in November 1915. It served with that brigade on the Somme, on the Ancre and on the
Flanders coast. In February 1918 it became the divisional Pioneer Battalion. There is useful
information in the appendices: the Roll of Honour (36 officers and 795 dead), Honours and
Awards, roll of officers and of other ranks who embarked for France with the Battalion on
23rd November 1915, and a list of officers who served with the Battalion overseas (135).
This history is based on the contributions of many who served with the Battalion and the
editor has drawn them together to provide a stirring account. The battalion suffered
grievously during the first day of the Somme when the 32nd Division attacked Thiepval,
and when 16th HLI came out of the line on the evening of July 3rd its casualties totalled 20
officers and 534 other ranks. The chapter describing this is titled The Shambles of the
Somme. And they were there again at the final battle at the Ancre in November when their
casualties amounted to 13 office...For more information please visit www.naval-militarypress.com
This is the story of a regular battalion from mobilization to the end of the Battle of the Aisne
in September 1914. When war broke out 1st E Lancs, a regular battalion, was stationed in
Colchester, part of 11th Brigade, 4th Division. The battalion arrived in France on 22nd
August 1914 and we are given the list of officers who embarked with the battalion. This
account of the battalions experiences in just three weeks includes the Battle of Le Cateau,
the retreat to the Marne, the Battle of the Marne and the Aisne crossing. Among the officers
killed was the CO, Lt Col Le Marchant It concludes on 10th October when the Battalion
entrained for Flanders and we are given the nominal roll of officers who went with it. There
is an interesing table showing daily distances marched during the retreat to the Marne (thirty
miles on 27th August, the day after Le Cateau) and in the week following the end of the
retreat and the advance across the Aisne (22 miles on 12th September). This is a graphic
account of those first weeks of the war.
The 7th Battalion, R Sussex, was formed at Chichester on 12 August 1914 and allocated to
36th Brigade, 12th (Eastern) Division with which it served throughout the war. It landed in
France on 1st June 1915 and remained on the Western Front , distinguishing itself in many
battles - Loos, Hohenzollern Craters, the Somme, Arras, Cambrai and the final advance.
Seventeen Battle Honours were awarded. Total casualties numbered 147 officers and 3,500
other ranks, of whom 57 and 1012 died.
It is easy to run out of superlatives but this has to be one of the best histories I have come
across, with graphic and detailed descriptions of the fighting, supported by clear maps and
with photos that include trench scenes (surreptitiously taken?). Apart from the well-written
narrative there is a wealth of information about the battalion to ensure a permanent record
although in the preface the Colonel and first CO of the battalion does complain about the lack
of official records, many of them wantonly destroyed by those responsible for their
custody. One can only be left to imagine what a history this would have been had the
records been complete. It is worth noting the detail which is available through the appendices.
There is that most useful record, the diary of the battalions movements from embarkation
(30 May 1915) to 16 June 1919 when the last remnants of the battalion left for England and
this is followed by a table showing, year by year, the number of days spent in Rest areas, in

This memoir is subtitled Reminiscences of RAMC Work With The Highland Division. The
author was OC 1/2nd Highland Field Ambulance and later ADMS (Assistant Director of
Medical Services) 51st Highland Division. The holder of that appointment was the senior
medical officer in a division and adviser to the GOC. This book provides a valuable insight
into the workings of the medical units in a division and it begins with an explanation of what
a Field Ambulance is (there were three in a division and it is not a vehicle) and how
casualties were evacuated from the front line back along a chain to the UK (if necessary). It
explains what the various stages in the chain were and what their role was in the scheme of
things. The photos are particularly interesting since some of the dressing stations are today
military cemeteries. The collecting post at Auchonvillers is still recognisable. Rorie does not
dwell on the blood and gore of which he would have seen plenty but he does paint a most
interesting, informative and often amusing picture of life at the front for a medical officer.
Well worth reading.

The 17th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers (17 NF) was raised by the North Eastern
Railway at Hull in September 1914 and became a Pioneer battalion in January 1915. In June
1915 the battalion moved to Catterick where it joined 32nd Division as the divisional pioneer
battalion. The division embarked for France in November 1915 and the next six months were
spent in the Somme sector around Albert, Bouzincourt and Meaulte. The battalion took part
in the opening battle of the Somme at Thiepval and its actions are described in detail. In
October 1916 it left the division and joined GHQ Railway Construction Troops until the end
of August 1917. It then rejoined the division at Nieuport on the North Sea coast for a couple
of months before again joining the Railway Troops. In May 1918 the battalion was
transferred to the 52nd (Lowland) Division, which had just arrived on the Western Front from
Palestine, and remained with it as Pioneer Battalion to the end of the war.
The narrative of this history comes in great part from personal diaries and letters lent by
many members of the battalion and as far as possible the actual words of the originals have

of the core of musketry training in the army. The rifle was part of the life of every
infantryman, and he had to know it intimately. This pamphlet, issued before the start of the
First World War contains all the wisdom of the nineteenth Century about the rifle and how to
use it effectively in war.
The pamphlet describes the two rifles on issue at the time, the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield
(Marks III and IV) and the Charger Loading Magazine Lee-Enfield (sometimes known as the
Long Lee-Enfield). The Webley pistol is also included in a detailed weapons description
section that is at the level of Instructions for Armourers. Care and cleaning of the weapons is
followed by details of ammunition in use (although the Treatise on Ammunition, 1915, also
available from Naval and Military Press can be consulted for even more detail).
There is a very clear section on the theory of rifle fire and its application, and then the rest of
the work is taken up by musketry exercises and field practices, a look at the tactical handling
and use of the rifle.
As with all pre-World War I manuals and pamphlets produced by the War Office, the
illustrations (34 plates) are all important.

After the First World War had ended the principles of fire and movement came back into the
teaching of the infantry, but this time the tactic was augmented by the effect of machine guns.
Machine guns by 1924 however were much less bulky and difficult to move than in 1914,
and this manual gives the full details of the requirements of the British Army with respect to
rifle and bayonet and the new light machine guns.
The first part of the manual deals with the basic infantry training for rifle, and explains the
theory of small arms fire in a lucid and easily understandable manner. The training continues
with the application of weapons to ground and the various formations needed to advance over
such ground. After looking in detail at the rifle and bayonet and the sniper rifle, the manual
contains detailed instructions for the Lewis gun in the ground and anti aircraft roles, as well
as the same treatment for the Hotchkiss gun.

The situation in Europe in 1914 was electric, and war was inevitable. In the UK the British
Army went through its training in the safe knowledge that it had never suffered defeat in
Europe. This manual contains all that was taught to infantrymen, section commanders and
many junior officers before they were sent to France
When it arrived in France the British Army was a well trained and quite well equipped force,
capable with the support of its Allies of fighting the Germans to a standstill, which it did in
the autumn of 1914. The reason the British Army was so good is shown in this manual, for an
army trained to the standards given in this manualt had to be effective.
The manual covers both the drill square movements, intended to create the camaraderie and
esprit de corps for which the army was famous, and a detailed section on field operations,
both attack and defence. Trenches are covered (in a small way), as are machine guns. Of
particular interest are the sections covering machine guns in battle, and fighting in close
country, woods and villages.

This manual summarises the state of the art after the First World War, and includes no fewer
than 175 plates with a range of diagrams of the most significant value.
It examines the general principles underlying field fortifications, and explains why they are
needed. Emphasis is placed on the need for defences in the field against artillery, gas, mines
and aircraft: all lessons learned in the First War. There follows a great deal of valuable detail
on how and where to site trenches, both for infantry and machine guns.
The real meat comes in the long section dealing with the trenches themselves and fire
positions, and how to establish a defensive system. Camouflage is included in this section of
the book.
The detail in the book is quite remarkable, and covers other matters of importance, such as
bridging, accommodation in the field, communications and demolitions, and there is a
special section on land mines and traps.
The eighty-eight was probably the best known artillery piece in the Second World War, and
it must never be forgotten that it started life as an anti-aircraft weapon. It was so successful
that every German division in 1939 was established with a number of these guns for defence
against Allied aircraft. Then, during the battle of Arras in 1940, General Rommel used his
anti-aircraft guns on tanks, and the rest is history.
This official evaluation of the gun is complete in all the detail one could wish for. The
illustrations back up the descriptions of the components of the Flak gun so that a picture of
the weapon emerges which is not to be seen in any other publication of the period. The gun
and its carriage are described, and the photographs are simply superb. There follows an
operators manual of how to set up, use, clean and service the weapon. Ammunition is also
described (and readers may like to know that the 88mm ammunition is also described in full
colour in the companion volume German Ammunition in the Handbooks of enemy
ammunition series, Numbers 6 and 15.There are range tables included, as well as detailed
sections on fire control and sighting equipment. There is no better book on the 88mm
antiaircraft gun available.

The history of the New Zealand Empire Forces in the Great War is a heroic and a proud one,
and this unusually full and frank regimental history does justice to a regiment that was at the
centre of the struggle. The authors attribute the regiments outstanding record to a happy
combination of a reasonable discipline - not enough to prejudice initiative, but sufficient to
get a maximum team result. The history records the departure of the regiment from its
Wellington home, its training and baptism of fire in the Egyptian desert and its leading part in
the gallant but doomed Gallipoli campaign against the Turks, in which it served continuously
from the first landings in April 1915 to the eventual evacuation in December of that year. The
regiment, now forming part of the New Zealand Division, fought around Armentieres before
and after the battle of the Somme, in which it also served at Fricourt and Flers. The regiment
had its first taste of the Ypres Salient in Ploogsteert Wood, before taking part in the
triumphant Battle of Messines in June 1917, after which it was plunged into the third Ypres
(Passchendaele) campaign at Gravenstafel, Wieltje and Polygon Wood.. After the German
Spring offensives of 1918, the regiment was sent south to the Somme to help plug the gap in
the line punched by the enemy, seeing hard fighting around Mailly Mailly and Colincamps.
The regiments battalions took part in the Allied counter-offensives in the summer and
autumn of 1918, experiencing much tough fighting crossing the St Quentin canal. The ...For
More than 2,500 merchant ships and auxiliaries were sunk during the war, by far the greatest

REGIMENT. 1914-1918
This exceptionally widely researched history of the 50th (Queens Own) Regiment from its
origins in 1741 to 1881 - when it merged into the Royal West Kent Regiment - is by a
former Commander of the Unit, Col. Arthur Fyler. Drawing on his 40 years witrh the
regiment, Col. Fyler devoted his retirement to compiling his history. He begins with the
regiments defence of Fort Oswego in Canada, which it was compelled to surrender in 1756
to a superior French force under the Marquis de Montcalm. In the Seven Years War with
France, the 50th served in Germany under the Marquis of Granby in 1760-2, helping to
defeat the French at the battles of Warburg, Vellinghausen and Wilhelmsthal. In the
Napoleonic Wars, the 50th took part in Admiral Hoods occupation of Corsica, helped storm
Calvi and garrisoned the Corsican capital, Ajaccio under its Commander, Lt.-Col Wauchope,
who was appointed Governor of the island. Forced to withdraw from his native island by
Napoleon, the 50th took part in the expedition against the French in Egypt in 1801 under Sir
Ralph Abercrombie, landing at Aboukir Bay, taking part in the battle of Alexandria, and
marching up the Nile valley. Having helped compel the capitulation of General Menous
forces In Egypt, the 50th took in the defeat of the Danes outside Copenhagen under Sir
Arthur Wellesley in 1807. The regiment played a part in all the major campaigns and battles

Army Council Instruction (ACI) 2268 of 6th December 1916 authorised the formation, in
London, of No.309 (Honourable Artillery Company) Siege Battery, R.G.A. from personnel of
the H.A.C. with effect from 27th November 1916. It was to be equipped with four 6-inch B.
L. Howitzers. After five months training in various camps in the UK the Battery landed at Le
Havre on 27th April 1917 with a full complement of 137 officers and men, and a week later it
went up to the line in Ypres as one of the five batteries comprised in the 88th Heavy Artillery
Group. Later, in February 1918 the number of howitzers was increased to six bringing the
personnel strength up to 180 all ranks.Throughout the war the total number posted to the
battery was 401 of whom 5 officers and 34 other ranks were killed and six officers and 64
other ranks wounded. Thirty-one left the battery to take up commissions in other batteries.
The nominal roll is provided in an appendix showing the dates of joining the battery; the
names of those who died are boxed.
This book provides not only an accurate history of the battery but also a representative
account of life in a howitzer battery on active service. In his War Books Cyril Falls refers to it
as one of the very best of unit narratives which is high praise indeed. It certainly does bring
out another side of the war, that of action and existence well behind the front line trenches, on
the receiving end of enemy counter-battery fire and counter bombardments; this war was
essentially a war of the guns.

THE HISTORY OF THE RIFLE
BRIGADE IN THE WAR OF 1914
-1918
Ex-Private X is the pseudonym of Alfred McClelland Burrage , author, who served with
1/28th London Regiment (Artists Rifles), 190th Brigade, 63rd (RN) Division. Since the end
of 1914 the battalion had acted as an Officers Training Corps and out of 15000 who served in
the battalion 10250 were commissioned. Private X was an unsuccessful candidate. He joined
his unit at Hesdin in early 1917 where it formed part of GHQ Troops, but from the summer of
1917 potential officers were trained in the UK and 1/28th became an ordinary infantry
battalion. His front line service began in July 1917 when the battalion joined the 63rd
Division which was then occupying the Oppy and Gavrelle sectors; in October it moved
north to the salient where Third Ypres was in full swing. There are graphic descriptions of
the conditions and the fighting during the attack on Passchendaele alongside the Canadians
on 30th October which cost the battalion 350 casualties. Two months later there was more
fierce fighting at Welch Ridge following the German successful counter-attack at Cambrai
battle and again in the early days of the German March offensive But his gift with the pen
also resulted in attacks, at times vitriolic, on troops behind the lines, especially the Military
Police, the staff and the generals. Nor did he care for the Australians. To quote one example
from the book, in which he is referring to the military police, he writes: The military police
were a nice crowd, too. The only good word I have to say for the Australians is that they
killed a...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com
The period covered in this memoir is from 13 January to 23 October 1915 when the author
was with the 1st Battalion the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) then part of 7th
Brigade, 3rd Division. The whole nine months were spent in the Salient - Kemmel, Hooge,
Sanctuary Wood, St Eloi- and if you want to get the feeling of what trench warfare was really
like in that bloody (in more senses than one) Salient then you can do no better than read this
book. Most vivid is Claphams description of the attack on Bellewaerde Ridge, just north of
Hooge, on 16 June. In fact the HAC history gives two accounts of this action, one is by the
CO and the other, giving the rank and file view, is Claphams story, extracted in full from his
book. The action cost the battalion over 200 casualties, almost half the trench strength at the
time. The narrative ends with the battalion being withdrawn from the line and transferred to
GHQ Troops, and Clapham a corporal. A superb book.
The war record of sixteen battalions of the RB all, of which fought on the Western front with
one of them, the 4th, leaving France for Salonika at the end of 1915. Eleven thousand five
hundred and seventy five all ranks died, 52 Battle Honours and 10 VCs were awarded.

Order No: 7064
Price: 7.95
F.O.O. (Forward Observation Officer) is the pseudonym of Capt C.J.C Street OBE, MC, of
the Royal Garrison Artillery special reserve. He does not say which battery he belongs to but
as the book was published in 1916 and censorship being very strict, this is hardly surprising.
But he does let slip it was a siege battery, equipped with howitzers and that would suggest 6inch, the most common, though there were, of course, heavier pieces. The main event of this
book is the battle of Loos and he gives a very good blow-by-blow account of the four-day
preliminary bombardment followed by the day of the assault and the aftermath But he also
gives clear picture, sometimes amusing, of artillery warfare, its evolution, employment,
problems, the working of the guns, artillery observation, changing gun positions and the
problem of communications (telephone lines) between F.O.O. and the guns. It tells something
of the spirit of the men who served the guns and the officers who commanded them. An
interesting and informative book.

FIELD GUNS IN FRANCE
Lt-Col Neil Fraser-Tytler
1922). SB. 255pp with four maps.
Order No: 7063
Price: 7.95
This book consists of a collection of letters written to his father by an artillery officer in
France between November 1915 and August 1918, and the batteries he writes about were D
in 151 Brigade RFA, in 1915/16, and A in 150 Brigade RFA in 1917, both were batteries
in the 30th Division (raised by the Earl of Derby), until early 1917 when the 150th Brigade
left the division and became an Army Field Artillery (AFA) Brigade. Both were equipped
with 4.5-inch howitzers. There are 53 letters in all and each is numbered and forms a chapter,
headed with the letter number, date and place. Place names and names of units, omitted at the
time of writing, have been added subsequently. In order to present a fairly coherent whole
the letters have been grouped according to the operations they describe. Thus in the contents
you find the group heading Third Battle of Ypres, July - October 1917 and under that
heading the numbers of the letters describing the operations, in this case letters 43 to 48. Or
The Somme, July-November 1916 with letters numbered 17 to 32. He certainly gives a
lively and action-packed account of the various operations in which his batteries took part.
One fact is clear from the beginning, and that is that Tytler enjoyed killing Huns and often
expresses sheer joy and satisfaction when his guns do so. The enemy is always referred to as
the Hun and killing Huns is a game to him; At the end of his preface, for example, he writes:

The author served in the 7th Battalion (TF) Gordon Highlanders, 153rd Brigade, 51st

on 3rd May 1915 to the capture of Beaumont Hamel by the division on 13th November 1916.
This is an unusual piece of work in that it is partly personal reminiscence and partly an
account of his brigade and division in action. Thus we have extracts from his trench journal
on various dates describing his battalions experiences, but these are often set against a
background of the brigade or division operations. It does not replace a divisional history as
such but it certainly does give a very good picture of the Highland division at war and of a
Highland battalion at war. Names of personalities mentioned are for real - not pseudonyms.
This is a well-written account and a very satisfactory read but lacks maps and an index.

This study of small arms and ammunition in all major armies of the world was a survey of
the competition at a time when the British Army was still in a transitional stage of switching
to the Martini Henry, a prototype of the rifle that dominated early 20th century warfare.
European development in the 1880s was rapidly leading to bolt action rifles (such as the
German Dreyse and Mausers and the French Chassepot and Gras rifles) whilst the US was
still wedded to the single shot Remington, despite the success of lever action weapons (such
as the Winchester and the Spencer). Waiting In the wings was the Lee magazine rifle. All of
these weapons, and many more, are described in this book, and there are many line drawings
showing the details of the arms so that a full understanding and comparison of the competing
systems can be arrived at.
This is an excellent book which needs to be on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the
history and development of firearms.

Price: 14.50
This is a book that makes the study of tactics informative, exciting and enjoyable. First
published on the eve of the Great War, the author begins with the masterley campaigns of
Frederick the Great, and goes on to use first person accounts in his description of the tactics
employed by Napoleon, during the American Civil War, and by the Prussians against the
Austrians at Sadowa (1866) and and the French at Sedan (1870). The book also includes
Britains small wars such as the Indian Mutiny (1857-58), and General Roberts attack at
Peiwar Khotal in Afghanistan (1878). Desert warfare is also covered, including the battle of
Abu Klea (1885) when Lord Garnet Wolseley surprised the Arabs with an advance through
the desert, and Sir John McNeills similar but less successful operation at Tofrik in 1885.
The Boer War is dealt with in some detail, including the cavalry charge at Klip Drift (1900)
and Kitcheners attack at Paardeberg (also 1900). The Boer War is the subject of a valuable
critique by the author, who also looks at the Russo-Japanese War, where so many lessons
could have been learned, but were not. The book ends with an appreciation of the situation
just before the First World War, when the prevailing military doctrines - including the
importance of cavalry - were to be disproved in the stasis of the trenches. The authors
compelling arguments are backed up by the profuse use of maps to illustrate the campaigns
he discusses so clearly.
German artillery has been a subject of study for many years, but it is rare to find the original
source material for such studies. These two pamphlets were issued in 1948 and include all
known operational German artillery of the Second World War. In the two volumes are no
fewer than 198 plates of the guns and their ammunition, and appendices, charts and tables
give every detail of the weapons that was available, even to German gunners.
The books are introduced with a history of the development of German artillery, and then

covered so that the picture of the war for the reader in these years is complete, and second to
none in detail.

Vol. X - 1814-1815. The whole of Europe was aflame in these two years, and Fortescue
writes most effectively of the military activity and the political background. Italy, the
Peninsula, the Low Countries and the American War are all interwoven from the British point
of view in a tour de force of military history. He then includes a really valuable summary of
events in Europe from 1803 to 1814 before setting out to describe the culminating battle at
Waterloo. From the Duchess of Richmonds Ball to the exhaustion on the night after the
battle, Fortescue maintains a pace and directness which is fascinating to read.

Vol. II of Fortescues classic history of Britains army covers the period 1713 to 1763 when
the foundations of the British Empire were laid. It includes the Jacobite Rebellions of 1715
and 1745, the scandals of the reign of King George I, the war with Spain and the dispute over
the Austrian Succession, and the Battles of Fontenoy against the French and Culloden, when
Scottish Jacobite rebels were crushed.,. It also covers the situation in India and the contest for
mastery with the French. The expansion into North America is described and the differences
that arose between the French and the British, together with Wolfes campaigns in North
America. The volume includes much material on the development of the British Army, and
the problems that arose with regard to recruitment and conditions of service at that time.
Like many of the most distinguished ancient regiments of the British Army, the 5th (Royal
Irish) Lancers owe their origins to the turbulent times of the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
As this excellent history, written by one of the regiments officers in 1908 recounts, the
Lancers were raised as James Wynnes Dragoons, a mounted unit, to repel the attemprt by
Catholic supporters of James II to take over Ireland and launch an invasion of England. The
Lancers took part in the successful defences of Derry and Enniskillen and the victorious
Battles of the Boyne and Aughram. Subsequently, they served under King William III in the
defence of his Dutch homeland against the French at the Siege of Namur.
The Lancers took a proud part in the Duke of Marlboroughs campaigns in the early 18th
century, fighting at all four of his famous victories: Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and
Malplaquet. At the end of the century they took part in the suppression of the French-backed
1798 rising in their native Ireland, but were subsequently disbanded.
Reformed in 1858 because of the need for cavalry to meet the threat of the Indian Mutiny,
they took part in the relief of Lucknow. The Lancers formed part of the NIle Expedition of
1884, mounted in a belated and doomed attempt to save Gordon of Khartoum from the Mahdi
and in the Suakin expedition.
Their final campaign narrated in this book was the Boer War, in which they took a prominent
part in the successful defence of Ladysmith when the town was besieged by the Boers. This is

The 5th Battalion of the Royal Irish Fusiliers formed part of the 10th (Irish) Division raised at
the outbreak of the Great War in response to Kitcheners call for volunteers. This very
concise history relates the battalions exploits which began at Gallipoli in July 1915. After a
hard mauling in this doomed campaign, the battalion recuperated on the Greek island of
Lemnos before being hurled into yet another forlorn enterprisxe : the attempt to save Serbia
from being overrun. The units two years in the Balkans ended on the Macedonian front, to
which they bid farewell in the autumn of 1916, with memories chiefly composed of
hasrdship, disease and ennui. The battalions next port of call was the Palestine campaign of
1917-18, exchanging mountain warfare for the desert. In Palestine the Battalion at last tasted
victory against the Turks, helping to drive them from the Gaza-Bethsheba line and deep into
the hills of Judea. The battalion finally embarked for France in May 1918. After a welldeserved spell of leave, and despite enduring its first gas attack, the battalion joined the
pursuit of the Germans across the River Scheldt in the final weeks of the war.

THE HONOURABLE ARTILLERY
COMPANY IN THE GREAT WAR
1914-1919
The 2/5th Gloucestershire was a second line Territorial battalion, formed in Gloucester in
September 1914 and allocated to the 2/1st Gloucester & Worcester Brigade of the 2nd South
Midland Division. Both the latter formations were also second line, and in August 1915 were
numbered 184th Brigade, 61st Division. The battalion remained in the same brigade
throughout the war, serving on the Western Front from May 1916 (when the division landed
in France) to the armistice. The Roll of Honour lists some 600 officers and men giving details
of place of burial or memorial on which commemorated. There are also details of Honours
and Awards.
The battalion began its active service in the Laventie sector where the newly arrived division
was alongside the newly arrived 5th Australian Division. Both divisions took part in the illfated attack on Fromelles in July which cost the Australians 5,500 casualties and the 61st
Division 1,550; it also earned the division the soubriquet 61st and worst from the
Australians. 2/5th Glosters were in reserve and it was they who had the depressing task of
bringing in and burying the dead, which took three or four days, nor did the Germans fire a
shot on stretcher bearers and others wandering about No Mans Land in broad daylight. The
battalion moved down to the Somme at the end of October, too late for any of the battles but
in time to follow up the German retreat to the Hindenburg

The sixteen years between the suppression of tribal rebels in Waziristan and the unrest which
welled up there in 1936 were something of a golden age for the British administration in the
region. The tribes were quiescent and a steady drive by the Government to inculcate
civilized ideas went ahead unopposed. Even as nationalist agitation organised by the Indian
National Congress convulsed other parts of the sub-continent , the tribes of the North-West
frontier remained quiet. This volume of the Official History of militarty operations in the
turbulent region attributes this relative passivity to the tribes having been humbled in
1919/20 , and to the efficient deployment of troops by the authorities: The fact that there was
little fighting and few major clashes...only demonstrates how little opportunity was afforded
to the enemy. It shows how prudent were the dispositions and planning of Commanders and
how efficient the bearing of the troops. But the history concludes with words of warning
that have a grim echo in the same troubled region today: Wars between 1st class modern
powers come and go. Armaments and battle grounds change with each upheaval. The tribes
of the North-West Frontier of India however remain as heretofore an unsolved problem. The
Indian Army of the future will still have to deal with Mohmands and Afridis, Mahsuds and
Wazirs...history repeats itself. Let it be read profitably.
In 1936, the simmering discontent of the warring tribesmen on the North-West Frontier with
British rule once more burst into violence. The excuse was the Islam Bibi case, over the
custody of a Hindu girl who had eloped with a Muslim and allegedly converted to Islam. The
discontent was skilfully exploited by a local Muslim religious leader, the Faquir of Ipi, who
temporarily united the three main tribes - the Mahsuds, the Wazirs and the Bhitannis - in a
campaign against the British. Raids were mounted, officers and officials murdered, and the
whole area seemd on the brink of anarchy. The British responded firmly with Brigade-sized
operations and the construction of roads to facilitate the movement of troops. After due
warnings, the RAF was brought in to bomb recaltricent rebel areas. Although the Faquir
remained at large, the discontent died down. This is the official history of one of the most
violent upsurges against the Raj since the Indian Mutiny in a
wild part of the world that remains a religious hoitbed hostile to foreign interference to this
day.
Journalists account of his time with Dunsterforce - the British task force striving to stir up
resistance to the Turks in Persia (Iran), and counter Russian Bolshevik influence in
Transcaucasia in 1918.

History as part of the syllabus for the Second and Third Class Certificates of Education, and
for NCOs promotion exams. The Irish Guards had been formed only in 1900, and so to give
this short history a wider scope two chapters were included, one on the history of the Irish
regiments and the other on the Brigade of Guards. Contents include details on the service
careers of the Colonels of the Regiment - Roberts, Kitchener, French and Cavan ; Battle
Honours; succession of COs; VCs and sporting events.

The 1st Battalion of the Royal Dublin Fusilers originated in 1644 when thirty volunteers
arrived at Fort St George in India calling themselves the Madras European Regiment, the
name they kept for their first century until 1748. As the author - himself a former
Commander of the Fusiliers - proudly proclaims in his Preface the Fusilers have ever been
famous for their valour and fortitude, having borne a distinguished part in almost every
service in Asia and Africa, where British troops have been engaged. This history takes them
from their early campaigns against the French and their Indian allies - such as Tippoo Sultan
- under Stringer Lawrence and Robert Clive - culminating in Clives famous victory at the
Battle of Plassey; through later campaigns against the same enemy. Among actions covered
in the history are the capture of Calcutta, the siege of Pondicherry and the three sieges of
Wandewash. An indispensible account of early British military history in India. With six
appendices, a glossary of Indian terms, 13 illustrations and a map.

A compact and competent history of this Indian Army unit, first raised in the Punjab in the
1840s. It was intended for internal security work and to guard the always turbulent NorthWest Frontier. Its first active operations, however, were in helping to quell the Indian Mutiny
of 1857-58. Under Gen. Sir Hope Grant it served at Mardan, Lucknow and through Oude,
ending up on the border with Nepal. After the Mutiny, it became part of the Punjab Frontier
Force. It took part in the second Afghan War as part of the Kurram Valley Field Force,
fighting at the Peiwar Kotal, Charasia, Deh-Afghana and defending the Sherpur Cantonment.
In the 1880s it operated against the Mahsud tribesmen. During the Great War, the regiment
sailed for France and fought at the 1915 battles of Festubert, Neuve Chapelle, and Aubers
Ridge. It was then ordered to Egypt, and took part in the Palestine campaign, helping to
occupy Jerusalem. In the 1920s the unit took part in operations against Afghanistan and the
Waziris. The text of this book is accompanied by five appendices with awards and Rolls of
Honour from the Great War and Indian operations. There are 13 illustrations and six maps.

Of several distinguished histories of the Boer War - including works by Sir

Arthur Conan Doyle and Leopold Amery - this is the most detailed,
exhaustive, and probably definitive. It is the official British history of the
conflict, complete in four substantial volumes accompanied by four slimmer
volumes of maps. Vol. One covers the run-up to war, with descriptions of the
South African terrain and the condition of the British and Boer forces. After
the arrival of Sir Redvers Buller to take command of British forces, it
narrates the sorry story of Black Week in December 1899 - the trio of
defeats when three British columns were trounced at Magersfontein, Colenso
and Stormberg. The first volume concludes with the arrival of Bobs - Lord
Roberts - to take over command from the hapless Buller and his reorganisation of the British army. Vol. Two opens with the Boer siege of

A two-volume account of Napoleons last campaign by Britains pre-eminent military
historian of the early 20th century. Writing a century after Waterloo, Becke claims that
previous British authors have been too Anglocentric and biased against Bonaparte in their
consideration of the campaign. As a result, he alleges, they have not appreciated the
Emperors brilliant tactics in his masterly yet simple battle plan. So Beckes book is
written very much from Napoleons point of view, and the Allied armies only appear in order
to help the reader appreciate Napoleons manoevres. An unashamed fan of Napoleon, - (he
even dedicates his book, in French, to the Emperor of battles) - Becke calls Bonaparte the
greatest of all the Great Captains..the most famous of all Artillerymen and refers to the
splendour of his world-wide fame. Becke cautions against hindsignt history in judging
Napoleon, and explains his heros downfall as being a result of the combined strength of the
superior Allied forces ranged against him, and the treachery of Fouche, his Minister of
Police, rather than his own shortcomings. Ere he fell writes Becke, Napoleon once more
showed that he could handle his troops like an artist.
This first volume takes the story of the Hundred Days from the Emperors return from exile
in Elba up to his despatch of the incompetent Marshal Grouchy to head off the Prussians
while he faced Wellington at Waterloo. The book looks at Napoleons strategy and tactics as
well as his disposition of his Armee du Nord and the...For more information please visit

The Third Afghan War was fought in the wake of the Great War, when Amanullah,
Afghanistans Amir (ruler), aided by Pashtun (Pathan) tribal allies, and emboldened by an
alliance with the new Bolshevik regime in Russia, took advantage of Britains post-Great
War weariness and nationalist unrest in India itself, to launch two surprise strikes into the
North-West frontier region of British India in May 1919. The short-lived war that followed
saw Britain check the thrusts and launch a counter strike in Baluchistan which took the town
of Dakka. Britain also launched air-raids on the Afghan capital, Kabul, and the city of
Jalalabad. The war ended in stalemate, and Britain granted autonomy in foreign affairs to the
Afghanis in the Treaty of Rawalpindi. In the fighting, British and Indian Army troops lost
nearly 2,000 men, many of them to cholera, while Afghani losses were estimated at 3,000.
This official history gives a detailed account of the military action, the lead-up to, causes and
course of the war and its lessons. It is illustrated by particularly fine and detailed colour maps
and has an appendix of British Army units invloved in the war.

MACHINE GUNS: Their history and

A powerful and classic autobiographical novel. Nine men go Over theTop in mud and rain
and darkness, urged on by an Authority invisible and remorseless somewhere behind the
lines, to seek a Foe theyre destined never to encounter. The men are tough lads of the
bombing squad, nine human individuals, living and real persons, a little world of diverse
characters merged into a Unit for the purposes of this excursion into No Mans Land. One at
a time they die, in terrible and futile ways. Still the bombing squad advances, floundering,
towards the Foe, lost, hungry, over-exhausted; dully courageous, vague, stupefied: returning
to the Brute As the climax of this tremendous story is reached, the reader is gripped by a
universal tragedy which goes beyond even the Great War to that final starkness and terror
which only a genius can portray. Liam OFlaherty served as a private in the Irish Guards and
was wounded at Passchendaele, and he knew what he is writing about. This is a mans book
for all time: or for as long as men shall die together in comradeship, bravely and blindly.
A fine German autobiographical novel. Known as the workman-poet, Karl Broger was one
of the most quoted German authors of his day .In this powerful work, which is in some way a
parallel to the English Journeys End, we are given a realistic picture of the horrors of
warfare in one of those artificial outposts on the Western Front. A number of men cooped up
in a pillbox remain true unto death. It rains -unendingly - continuously - hopelessly. Shells
burst overhead; an enemy plane flies over with devastating effect - one dead, three wounded.
Two set forth on a quest for assistance, and we follow them in their exciting journey; but no
help is possible till darkness has fallen. Meanwhile the pillbox falls in: the occupants are
buried alive - thirst overpowers them - they try to open a way out - they try and they fail. At
last help comes but too late - corpses are all that is to be found in Pillbox 17.This is the tale
of true comradeship - a real war book, and a literary find.
An excellent combined history of the Machine Gun Corps in the Great War - and of the
devastating weapon itself, and its development from early times.

The Russo-Japanese War of 1904 was a portent for the 20th century. Coming hard on the
heels of the Boer War, it was a warning that European colonial powers would not have things
all their own way as they had during the 19th century. Japans trouncing of mighty Russia at
sea - in the battle of Tshushima - and on land at Mukden, Nan Shan and Port Arthur, gave the
world notice of the inherent weakness of the Tsarist regime, and triggered the first Russian
revolution that same year. This rare account of the war was written by one of the Russian
commanders in the conflict, Gen. Nikolai A. Tretyakov, who helped in the heroic but
doomed defence of Port Arthur - much of it in trench warfare which presages the western
front in the Great War just a decade ahead. In the words of the books English editor, Capt.
F. Nolan Baker : 'Here we have the actual history of the firing line..we are transported from
the dry bones of military history to the living realities of the battlefield. Plentifully

The 1904-5 Russo-Japanese War was hardly Russias finest military hour, and its humbling
at the hands of the rising Japanese set the scene for the 1905 revolution - a rehearsal for 1917.
This is the story, as its sub-title indicates, of the war as seen by an outside observer - an Irish
correspondent for the New York Herald newspaper, - (still in the hands of the legendary
James Gordon Bennett - the man who sent Henry Morton Stanley to find Dr Livingstone) who accompanied the Cossacks, Russias fierce horse-soldiers under General Mischenko,
throughout the campaign. With more than a hint of Boys Own Paper swagger, McCullagh
takes his readers through the wars main battles, from Mukden to the fall of Port Arthur. after
which he and his Russian comrades fall into the hands of the victorious Japanese. The book
concludes with an eerily accurate prophecy of coming Japanese supremacy in Asia - and also
of their decline. Success will bring satiety...time and wealth and factory servitude, the great
corroders of all martial virtue, will gradually take the fine edge from off their valour.
Eye witness story of the siege and storming of Delhi in the Indian Mutiny. Drawn from the
letters of Keith Young, a senior British official, to his wife at Simla, this is a vivid personal
account of a key episode.

Peccavi - the Latin for I have sinned - was the punning one-word telegram with which
General Sir Charles Napier announced to the world his 1843 capture of Scinde (or Sind).
Napier, a much wounded 61-year-old veteran of the Peninsula War, was placed in charge of
the turbulent province, whose ruling Emirs, encouraged by British reverses in nearby
Afghanistan, rose against Britains power. Napiers forces routed the Emirs at the battles of
Meanee and Hyderabad and the region became a key part of British India, making Napier into
a popular Victorian hero. Unsurprisingly, Sir William Napier, the author of this work, is an
uncritical admirer of his brother and fellow General, and is unsparing in his critique of those
he perceives as Charles Napiers British enemies in the bureaucratic turf wars of the Raj.

terrible twins, Hindenburg and Ludendorff, who presided over Germanys fate in 1917-18.
Falkenhayns memoirs, therefore, published in the immediate aftermath of the war in 1919,
are one of the most important accounts from the German side. The remote and rather cold
Falkenhayn will always be associated with the appalling Battle of Verdun, since it was his
scheme for a battle of attrition to knock France out of the war, Operation Gericht, which
went into effect in February 1916 and which ground to a halt in October of that year, just
after Falkenhayn had been replaced. He was then transferred to the eastern front where he
successfully commanded operations against the Russians. This book, however, covers only
his period of command at GHQ, opening with the battles of the Yser, the First battle of
Ypres, the beginning of trench warfare and the battle of Lodz in Poland. In 1915 it covers the
German breakthrough in the east at Gorlice-Tarnow; Germanys controversial decision to
begin unrestricted submarine warfare; Allied attempts to break through in the west in the

THE LUSHAI EXPEDITION (N E
India 1871-2)
We have given the Gallic cockerel a vast heap of sand said British Foreign secretary Lord
Salisbury after Britain and France divided much of Africa between them. Let him scratch it
how he will. Frances chief sandpit was Algeria, conquered in 1830 in the otherwise
undistinguished reign of King Louis-Philippe. with the aid of the newly-formed French
Foreign Legion who were to be based in Algeria for the next century and beyond. The story
of that conquest is recounted here for the first time in English by a British officer in a book
first published in 1909. Algeria was wrested from the feeble hands of the Dey of Algiers, the
Arab ruler who paid homage to the Ottoman Empire - already far gone in decay. But if
getting hold of the vast country, mostly composed of barren desert and mountains, was
comparatively easy, keeping it was to prove a nightmare from which France only awoke in
1962 when Algeria gained independence. Lauries book is a clear and concise account of a
colonial conquest in a part of the world where conflict continues to this day.

the night action at Elandslaagte. In his introductoion, Gen. William Kitchener calls attention
to the main qualities of the Devon men who served under him: their dogged devotion to
duty which helped overcome the Boers stubborn resistance; their improvisation and their
smart turnout in the worst of conditions. In conclusion writes Kitchener, a more

The first in the 18-volume Official History of the Second World War covers the defence of
the British Isles on land, sea, and in the air. Beginning with disarmament after the Great War
in 1918, Basil Collier traces Britains gradual rearmarment in the face of the renewed threat
from Germany. There are chapters on the Phoney war of 1939-40; and on the effects of the
disastrous Norway campaign and the Dunkirk evacuation. The Battle of Britain in the
summer of 1940 is extensively covered, as is Operation Sealion, Hitlers abortive plan for a
seaborne invasion of southern England. Collier describes the Luftwaffes switch from
daytime raids on RAF fiighter stations to night bombing of the cities in the darkest days of
the 1940-41 Blitz. He recounts the German bids to blockade Britain, and the energetic
measures for home defence - including the formation of the Home Guard - taken by
Churchills government. Finally, the book tells of the terrifying threat from the V1 Flying
Bomb or Doodle Bugs; and Hitlers secret weapons - the V2 rockets launched in the last
stages of the war in Europe. Profusely illustrated with 32 maps and 29 photographs, and
accompanied by 50 appendices on specialised aspects of the war on the home front.
Covering the 1939-40 Phoney War in a single chapter, the focus of Major L.F. Elliss
official history of the campaign in France and Flanders falls on the role of the British
Expeditionary Force in attempting to defend Belgium and France from the fury of the
German Blitzkrieg in May-June 1940. He describes the BEFs advance into Belgium in
response to the German attack in accordance with the pre-arranged Anglo-French Dyle
Plan, and its rapid retreat as the Germans broke through on the River Meuse. Despite an
attempted counter-attack around Arras, Ellis shows how the BEF and their French allies were
forced back on the Channel Ports by the swift advance of the German armoured columns. The
history culminates in the confusion caused by Belgiums sudden surrender, the failed British
stand on the Somme, and the momentous decision to evacuate the BEF from Dunkirk.
Illustrated by 7 general maps, 14 situation maps and 17 sketch maps, the book has eleven
photographs, and additional appendices detailing the German planning of their spectacularly
successful campaign, and listing the British and German forces engaged.

territories: Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya, and finally the fortress island of Singapore - perhaps
the greatest single British disaster of the entire war. The authors pin the blame for the loss of
Britains Asian empire on the neglect of its defences between the wars, and on the
Governments preoccupation with saving Britain itself in 1940. In the authors opinion, the
campaign in Malaya was lost beofre it begun, at least partly because of the ineptitude of the
authorities on the spot. The book describes Japans plans for imperial aggrandisement at the
expense of vulnerable British and Dutch colonies in the region, and the rapid collapse of the
European empires before the lightning Japanese advance. The loss of the British warships
Prince of Wales and Repulse, complementing the disasters onshore, and the disappearance

This third volume in the series of five in the 18-volume official British History of the Second
World War which recount the war against Japan, has, in the words of its authors a brighter
tale to tell than the previous two - which narrated the disastrous losses of Hong Kong,
Borneo, Malaya, Singapore and Burma. By late 1943 the tide of war in the Far East was
turning, and the Allied High Command in the theatre under Lord Louis Mountbatten, began
detailed plans to reverse Japans conquests. At sea, from bases in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) the
Royal Navy mounted raids on Java and Sumatra. In the air, flying from bases in India, the
RAF challenged Japans air supremacy. Above all, on the ground Allied armies stemmed
Japans attacks on Arakan and Assam, and decisively defeated them at the battles of Kohima
and Imphal. The conventional Allied armies were supported by the celebrated Chindit
special forces trained by the colourful General Orde Wingate to operate behind Japanese
lines, though the authors play down their achievement and criticise their campaigns as
wasteful. The book also describes parallel military developments in China and the Pacific
which affected the campaigns in India and Burma. There are 30 appendices with details of the
forces and logistics involved, and the book is illustrated with 15 main maps, 20 sketch maps,

This, the penultimate book in the series of five in the 18-volume official History of the
Second World War that deal with the war against Japan, is primarily the story of the
forgotten army. The 14th Anglo-Indian army, commanded by Lt. Gen. Sir William Bill
Slim, was the force that wrested Burma from the harsh hands of its Japanese conquerors in a
hard-fought campaign from August 1944 to May 1945. Japan had overreached itself earlier in
1944 when the Allies had defeated its attempt to capture Imphal. Without giving the enemy
time to recover, Slim, supported by the RAF, advanced deep into Burma, braving the
monsoon season, covering 600 miles from Imphal, and crossing the Chindwin and Irrawaddy
rivers to reach the gates of Burmas capital, Rangoon. It is, as the authors proudly say, an
epic story; a victory made possible by careful planning, flexibility, foresight, improvisation
and the command of the skies established by the RAF. The authors describe both the jungle
fighting, and detail the daunting problems of supply and logistics which were triumphantly
overcome by the campaigns planners. They also describe the political problems faced by the
Supreme Allied Commander in South-East Asia, Lord Louis Mountbatten, in fending off
attempts by his American and Chinese allies to bleed away the 14th Armys support and
supplies for their own use. The text is supported by 27 appendices on logistics, and fully
illustrated by 13 main maps, 21 sketch maps, and 92 photographs.
The last of the five books in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War
describing the war against Japan. This covers the final, victorious campaigns in the SouthEast Asian theatre from the re-occupation of Burmas capital, Rangoon, in May 1945, to the
Japanese surrender after the dropping of the two Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
on 15th August 1945. As well as detailing the liberation of Burma by the Anglo-Indian 14th
Army, the book describes the war in the Pacific, largely waged by American forces, including
the bloody battle for Okinawa island and the deadly operations of Japans Kamikazi suicide
squadrons. There are also chapters on planned campaigns which were never fought - for the
liberation of Malaya, and for the invasion of Japan itself - which students of counter-factual
what if history will find fascinating. Other chapters cover political developments, including
the disputes between Japans war and peace parties, and the Potsdam conferences
deliberations on how to treat post-war Japan. The books final sections deal with post-war
problems in South-East Asia, including the rescue of surviving Allied Prisoners of War and
detainees from hellish Japanese camps and the administration of areas liberated from
Japanese occupation. The book has 32 appendices of background documents, and is
illustrated by 16 main maps, 17 sketch maps and 35 photographs.

This, the third of eight volumes in the 18-volume official British History of the Second
World War, dealing with the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theatres, describes the nadir
of British fortunes in the region. Covering the year from September 1941 to September 1942,
the book opens with the latest round in the ding-dong battle in North Africa with Operation
Crusader, Britains bid to relieve the besieged port of Tobruk and chase Rommel from the
western desert. The authors emphasise how Britain was hampered by obsolescent equpiment
such as the Crusader tank. Despite this, British, Australian and South African forces relieved
Tobruk and entered Benghazi on Christmas Day 1941 - only to evacuate it after Rommels
swift recovery the following month. At sea, the Royal Navy suffered serious blows with the
loss of Ark Royal and Barham and a daring Italian human torpedo attack on British
ships in Alexandria harbour. Axis air attacks on Malta and convoys supplying it reached their
peak in April, and the island was awarded the George Cross for its gallant defence. Rommel
counter-attacked in the desert in May, defeating the Eighth Army at Gazala, and on June 21st
Tobruk was lost. But the Axis attempt to take Cairo was stalled at the battle of Alam el Halfa,
and after General Auchinleck was replaced by General Montgomery, the Allies prepared to
go back on the offensive. With 11 appendices, 40 maps and diagrams and 40 photographs.

This, the fourth in the eight volumes of the 18-volume official British History of the Second

defeat of the Axis forces in North Africa in 1942-43. The survival of Malta against
determined Axis assaults enabled the Allies to cripple supplies to Rommels Afrika Korps,
while building up their own land, air and sea forces. The entry of America to the war in
December 1941 had allowed the allies to co-ordinate a grand strategy for the Mediterranean
and Middle Eastern theatre. In October 1942, after careful preparation and a massive artillery
bombardment, General Montgomery launched the Eighth Army against the Afrika Korps in

The fifth and largest volume of the eight books in the 18-volume official British History of
the Second World War describing the war in the Mediterranean and Middle East, this narrates
the campaigns in Sicily and Italy from July 1943 to March 1944. The Allies, under General
Alexander, selected the harsh mountain terrain of Sicily as the site of their return to Europe
after being chased from the continent in 1940/1. The July landings were successful and
within a month the Germans had evacuated the island. The allies were now faced with the
tough prospect of clearing the Germans from the whole Italian peninsula. In September they
landed at Salerno, and despite determined counter-attacks, consolidated their beachhead. In
October 1943, after the Badoglio Government, which had overthrown Mussolini in July,
surrendered, Hitler ordered the occupation and in-depth defence of Italy. This tied down
large numbers of German trooops, but made for a protracted and bitter winter campaign,
characterised by set-piece Allied attacks against a series of strong German defensive
positions along the Bernhardt and Gustav Lines and the Sangro, Garigliano and Rapido
rivers. In January 1944 the Allies attempted to outflank the Germans and rush to Rome with
another seaborne landing at Anzio. Although the landing was successful, German defence
was stubborn, solidifying around the monastery of Monte Cassino, which held out against
repeated Allied attacks. With 6 appendices, 43 maps and diagrams and 46 photographs.

General Alexander determined on a Spring offensive - Operation Diadem - to take Monte
Cassino, break the German defences of the Gustav Line, and capture Rome. The Line was
successfully breached by the British Eighth and the US Fifth Armies within days of the
offensives opening and the subsidiary Hitler Line was also broken. As a follow-up,

The last of eight volumes in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War
dealing with the war in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theatres, this book tells the
final stage of the story from November 1944 to May 1945. It details the end of the war in
Greece and Yugoslavia, but concentrates on the stubborn struggle in northern Italy. The
narrative opens with the aborting of Field-Marshal Alexanders plan for a quick thrust to
Vienna across north-eastern Italy, and describes poltical and other difficulties encountered in
co-operating with Titos Yugoslav partisans. Titos fellow-Communist E.A.M/E.L.A.S
partisans in Greece attempted to take power in Athens in December 1944. Churchill
intervened personally with the British army to crush the revolt. In the new year of 1945, a

This is an extraordinary account of one of the most unusual units ever to have fought in the
ranks of the British army. The Judeans were a battalion of Jewish soldiers raised during the
Great War specifically to serve in Palestine, which, then as now, was a politically and racially
sensitive area. Set agains the background of the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which pledged
British support for establishing a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine, this is the
account of the Judeans by its outspoken (non-Jewish) Commanding Officer, Col. J. H.
Patterson, who is palpably proud of having led the Judeans, which he rightly describes as a
unique unit whose formation was unprecedented in our annals. As Patterson recognises,
the Judeans were Zionists, fighting not only for the British cause against the Ottoman Turks
who then held sway over the Holy Land, but also for the restoration of the Jewish people to
the Promised Land. Pattersons account of the victyorious 1918 campaign that swept the
Turks out of what is now Israel, Palestine and Jordan, is shot through both with his pride in
his men, when he goes as far as claiming that the campaign was actually pivoted on the sons
of Israel who were once again fightinbg the enemy, not far from the spot where their
forefathers had croosed the Jordan under Joshua. Patterson is also - unusually, given the
high degree of anti-Semitism then prevalent in Britains officer class - highly critical of his
fellow officers for discriminating against the Judeans, and other Jewish settlers i...For more

servicemen serving there today. The author was an RFC officer whose secondment to the
MIddle East in 1916, he admits, came as a relief after the squalor of the Somme. His
account of his and his comrades operations flying against Turkish and German aviators in
Mespopotamia and Iran is dramatic and hugely informative. The narrative describes
combined operations with the army, and naval units operating along the twin Tigris and
Euphrates rivers. Among many other adventures, the author survived being shot down in his
DH4 aircraft. His narrative, accompanied by a particularly fine range of some 40

November, and during the great German spring offensives in the following year. Australian

The 1885 siege of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and the heoric death of Gen. Charles
Gordon when its defences were overrun by the forces of the Mahdi is one of the great epics of
Victorian imperial history. This account was written by one of the Intelligence Officers with
the expedition which Gladstones government belatedly sent down the Nile in an abortive
bid to save Gordon. Wilson, although a personal friend of Gordon, is clear that the Mahdi
was so determined to take Khartourm that the presence of the advance guard of the relieving
force, - a paltry twenty men in two steamers - would have made no difference to Gordons
fate even if it had arrived a week earlier. With ten appendices and an end paper map.

The Crimean War acquired its grim notoriety not least because of the frankness of the letters
and despatches from the field that shocked the mid-Victorian newspaper reading public. The
Times correspondent in the Crimea, William Howard Russell, became a household name
with his graphic descriptions of the fighting and the suffering of the inadequately clad and led
troops. Here, in the same tradition, are the Crimean letters of Captain [later Lieut. Col.] Sir
Anthony Coningham Sterling, who came out of retirement to serve as Brigade Major in Sir
Colin Campbells Highland Brigade. The author takes us through the bloody battles of the
Alkma and Inkerman and the confusion of Balaclava and into the siege of Sepastopol.
Normally stoical and even humorous, the miseries of the campaign sometimes bring him
close to despair, especially in the freezing trenches before Sepstopol and after such disasters
as the abortive assault on the Great Redan. These letters home are an indispensible addition to
the literature of a war which continues to fascinate all who study it.

Military memoirs with a strong medical tinge from the former Surgeon of the 93rd
Sutherland Highlanders - the famous thin red line. The thirteen years that Munro spent with
the 93rd were eventful ones - encompassing the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny. Both
conflicts get the full treatment here, including nail-biting accounts of the Battle of Balaclava
and harrowing ones of the massacre at Cawnpore. Although the seeker after pure military
history may be somewhat disappointed by these reminiscences, the student of human nature
is left well-satisfied. Munro is more interested in life (and death) off the battlefield and
behind the lines than he is in the nitty-gritty of detailed battle analysis. Much concerned - and
understandably so, considering his profession - with the effects of disease, particularly
cholera, on his comrades; his book is not without a touch of sentimentality, perhaps
surprising in a Scottish medical man. In all, howver, these memoirs are a readable, lively and
engaging portrait of mid-19th century military life.
Lieut.-General Sir James Outrams account of his role in the Indian Mutiny, drawn from his
own orders and dispatches, and originally privately circulated among his friends. The book is
edited by an anonymous literary gentleman of military knowledge and experience. Outram
is chiefly remembered for his first relief of the besieged British community at Lucknow, in
conjunction with Sir Henry Havelock. The siege was then renewed, until Lucknow was
finally relieved by Sir Colin Campbell in March 1858.

THE NAVAL BRIGADE IN SOUTH
AFRICA DURING THE YEARS 1877
-78-79
Fleet-Surgeon Henry F. Norbury
Written by a former Colonel of the Coldstream Guards, this book gives an account of the
Crimean War generally, from its causes and beginnings to its conclusion after the longdelayed fall of Sebastopol. As such, it can be read with profit by the general reader as well as
the student of military or regimental history.The first part sets the political scene for the war,
detailing the inconclusive military operations in Bulgaria and Romania and the novel arrival
of women nurses in a theatre of war as well as the ravages of disease. The second part deals
with the allied invasion of the Crimean peninsula - making no effort to hide now ill-equipped
and badly prepared the allies were - and the Battle of the Alma. Part III describes the
beginnning of the long and weary siege of Sebastopol and the Battle of Balaclava, with the
infamous Charge of the Light Brigade. Part IV is solely concerned with the bloody Battle of
Inkerman in which the Guards took a major part and suffered heavy losses. Part V outlines
the savage winter of 1854-55 in the Crimea, during which the scantily-clad British army
suffered more from the weather than the enemy. In Part VI, Sebastopol is at last taken and
finally, Part VII deals with the end of the war on March 30th 1856. There are five appendices,
including Crimea casualty breakdowns of the Coldstreams and the British Army generally,
and six maps.
An invaluable account of the exploits of the Naval Brigade of 300 seamen and marines from

A reprint of a limited edition of only 500 copies of William Galloways detailed account of
the Battle of Tofrek, fought on March 22nd 1885, an engagement which only narrowly
avoided becoming another Isandhlwana - a British military disaster. Tofrek was fought
between the advance guard of General Grahams Suakin Field Force under General John
McNeil VC, against Muslim Mahdist forces under Osman Dinga in the eastern Sudan.
McNeil was seeking to establish a staging post for stores when his mixed force of the 1st
Berkshire Regiment, Royal Marines, Engineers and Sikhs was set upon by a large force of
Mahdists who had assembled under the cover of surrounding thick thorn bushes, or zeriba.
At first the British response was hampered by confusion, dust, and black smoke form their
new Martini-Henry rifles, but gradually they rallied in squares, their firepower told, and the
enemy, armed with spears and swords, drew off. Arab losses were at least 1,600 and the
British lost some 140. With 12 appendices, and 13 illustrations, maps, diagrams etc.

where the outgunned Chinese are compelled to sign a treaty ending the conflict. The author is
critical of the ignorance and cruelty of the Chinese character, but praises their courage and
cultural artefacts - such as the Great Wall and Nankings Porcelain Tower. In his account of
the Chinese astonishment at such western technology as steam-ships and horse-drawn guns
he reflects the reality of a vast but backward civilisation encountering the fruits of the

the north-west approaches to India between Britain and Russia. It resulted in the deposition of
the pro-Russian ruler of Afghanistan, Dost Mohamed Khan, and the restoration of the proBritish Shah Shooja Ool Moolk. Outram took an active part in the campaign, including the

MAJESTYS SHIPS (1778)
A colourful eye-witness account, written and published while the conflict was still
continuing, of the early phase of the British-Afghan war of 1839-42. The author, James
Atkinson, was a surgeon with the army of the Indus, and took part in Britains ill-considered
march into the interior of Afghanistan to restore, after a lapse of 30 years, Shah Shoojah in
place of a rival ruler. Dost Mahomed Khan, who was thought by the British to favour the
Russians in the Great Game for control of the northern approaches to India. After
preliminary descriptions of Shoojah and Dost and the political background, Atkindons
account opens with him joining the army of the Indus after a journey beset by robbers and
disease. The army marches through harsh terrain and hostile tribes to Kandahar, before
storming the fortress of Ghizni, the loss of which disheartened Dosts supporters and led to
the fall of the capital Kabul., and eventually to his own surrender. At this point Atkinsons
account concludes - mercifully before he learned of the flight and massacre of most of the
British army in Kabul in 1842. Then, as now, the dilemma of the foreign occupiers of a
country the author describes as semi-barbarous is summed up in Atkinsons own eloquent
words:Like Sisyphus, we have rolled up the huge stone to the top of the mountain, and if we
do not keep it there, our labour will be lost. A topical and fascinating account for all those
interested in Victorian colonial wars, the Indian sub-continent, or the unchanging nature of

The long decay of the Turkish Ottoman Empire -the sick man of Europe - was one of the
great diplomatic problems of the late19th century. In 1897, Greek perceptions of Turkish
weakness in Thessaly, and the agitation of the Greek nationalist secret society Ethnike
Etairia, resulted in a brief war, between March and June, in which the highly-trained Ottoman
army under Field-Marshal Ehdem Pasha, after initial Greek advances, crushed them at the
second battle of Velestino. This account was writen by the war correspondent who covered
the conflict for 'The Times. Clive Bigham makes little secret of his sympathy for the Turks,
with whose army he was 'embedded and of his corresponding contempt for the irresponsible
Greek nationalism which he blames for the war. An 'instant book giving a lively journalistic
eye-witness view of an almost-forgotten conflict, illustrated with six maps of the military

The official history of the controversial Sudan campaign of 1884, one of Victorian Britains
less happy colonial military exploits. The author, Colonel Colvile, himself took part in the
campaign and his work was vetted by the War Office and his brother officers before
publication. The first volume in this facsimile three-volume publication deals with the events
leading up to the campaign itself. The legendary General Charles Gordon, with inadequate
back-up and delusions of his own abilities, found himself besieged in the Sudans capital,
Khartoum, by the fanatical followers of the Mahdi, a Muslim religious leader who had
proclaimed himself a prophet foretold by Mohammed, destined to unite the whole world in
one Islamic stat.e. Very late in the day, a reluctant William Gladstone, Liberal prime
minister, was prodded by public opinion into mounting an expedition under Lord Garnet
Wolseley to go to Gordons rescue. Volume 1 closes with the forces of the Mahdi spreading
across the Sudan, and threatening Gordon in Khartoum, while Wolseley moves slowly south
down the Nile.
Volume 2 opens with the Anglo-Egyptian relieving force held up on its journey south by its
steamers repeatedly running aground. When it finally reached Khartoum, it was only to learn
that the city has fallen and Gordon had been killed. The retreat from Khartoum was as fraught
with danger as the advance had been, with both the Camel Corps and the River Column,
marching on subsidiary punitive expeditions, and led until his death by General Earle, and
then by Colon...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com

Britains aid to her Italian ally is a largely forgotten sideshow in the drama of the Great War.
This book, therefore, is the rare account by a British artillery officer, of his service on the
Italian front. Lieutenant Hugh Dalton - later to become a prominent Labour politician and
Chancellor of the Exchequer - subtitles his book 'A tribute to Italian achievement - and the
authors affection for his Italian comrades-in-arms shines through these pages. Daltons unit
was one of ten British batteries sent to Italy at a critical juncture in the Spring of 1917.
Thereafter the British guns were in action in the Alps during much critical fighting,
including the battles of the Isonzo and Piave and the disastrous defeat and retreat from
Caporetto. Dalton remained until the tide of war turned in 1918, and witnessed the rout of the
Austrians at Vitorio Veneto and final victory. His book is illustrated with 12 photographs and
three maps and much authorial musing on such subjects as national characteristics. A
peculiarity of the book is that the author has 'camouflaged the real names of those who
appear in his pages, except those of Generals and Cabinet ministers.

British artillery tactics, which carefully concentrated on battering a breach in the defences,
and the superiority of British iron cannon to their brass equivalents. Illustrated by a plan of

A concise memoir of the air bombardment of Malta during the Second World War based on
notes jotted down during the intervals between raids. Weldon, an officer with the Royal
Regiment of Artillery, wishes to draw attention to the role of the anti-aircraft batteries which
bore the brunt of the three-year siege during which the Luftwaffe and the Italian air force
tried and failed to break the will to resist by the vital Mediterranean island base. The raids
and the resistance are alike described in a terse and dramatic way. But, as the books
photographs attest, the author seems at least as proud of his stage appearences in amateur
dramatic productions during the siege as he is of his military exploits!
'Victory has many fathers, but defeat in an orphan is a military motto which is well-applied
to the development of that war-winning 20th century weapon, the tank. So successful was the
tank, and so revolutionary its effect on warfare, that many, among them Winston Churchill
have good claims to be its 'father. The author of this book is one of the tanks many parents.
After offering to give the army an armoured car paid for by himself, Stern was commissioned
and saw at first hand the development of the 'landship as it was known. Churchill persuaded
prime minister Asquith to approve the development of a machine for crushing barbed wire
entanglements early in 1915. Manufactured in great secrecy in LIncoln, the first tanks were
ready for action in September 1916 and were deployed to try and break the deadlock on the
Somme. Sterns account follows the tank through various bureaucratic and other obstacles
from the drawing board to the battlefield, As such his book is an indispensible account by an
insider of the birth of armoured warfare. Interestingly illustrated with many photographs of
early tanks and their pioneers.
A very rare, revealing and valuable document from that genius of military engineering, Col.
John T. Jones R.E. Jones, author of the thee volume Peninsula War classic 'Sieges in
Spain" (also published by the Naval and Military Press), privately printed and circulated
these memoranda which he had withdrawn from the second edition of his 'Sieges because he
considered the material still too secret and sensitive for general release. The subject is the
famous 'Lines of Torres Vedras the vast system of defensive earthworks and fortifications
thrown up on Wellingtons orders to guard the Lisbon peninsula as he retreated into Portugal
before the pursuing French forces under Marshal Massena after the battle of Talavera in
1810. The lines performed their purpose beyond Wellingtons wildest dreams - having
denuded the country in fron of them of anything that could sustain the French, he withdrew
behind the safety of the defences and waited. Unable to maintain his army or assault the
massive fortifications, Massena was forced to retreat. In retrospect the Lines of Torres
Vedras are seen as not only a wonder of military engineering, but the watershed that turned
the course of the whole Peninsula War. The memoranda are accompanied by a selection of
detailed and beautiful endpaper diagrams.

The author, a former Royal Engineers officer, goes into great technical detail on the specifics

best employed to operate the weaponry. The text is well-illustrated by diagrams, plans and
maps as well as tables of explosive formulae etc. A must have book for all who are
interested in the early development of mine and submarine warfare.
Excellent illustrated survey of a branch of warfare that only really came into its own in the
20th century. Sleeman, a Royal Navy officer who later lent his services to the Turkish
Ottoman navy, clearly knows his submarine stuff. His history begins with the use of
submarine mines in the American Civil War, before discussing the devlopment of various
mines, torpedoes and submarines in the latter half of the 19th century. The author, a
passioonate believer in subvmarine warfare as a new strategic weapon, looks forward to the
with some relish as a testing time when the full power of mines, submarines and torpedoes
will be tested to destruction. His text is generously illustrated with eighty-three details
diagrams and plans of various torpedoes, mines, fuses and submarines. This book is an
absolute must for anyone interested in the early development of submarines and undrwater
mines.

This volume deals with the development of the Royal Regiment of Artillery over a period of
forty years. The artillery which fought in the Crimea and the Mutiny was little changed from
that which emerged from Peninsular War. Its guns were still smooth bores, and its
organization and tactics were suited to its armament; but changes were coming rapidly with
the advent of rifled guns, and in 1860 the RA received the Armstrong rifled guns. The first
year of the period covered ib this volume saw the establishment of the School of Gunnery at
Shoeburyness, and the decision to amalgamate the Artilleries of the three Presidencies in
India with the Royal Artillery, the first significant change in organization.. The first of the
three parts into which the book is divided deals with organizational changes across the forty
years and such matters as pay and conditions of service, the abolition of purchase [of
commissions, the formation of new brigades etc. Part II deals with armament and charts
technical progress - new guns, new ammunition, carriages and mountings and the
esxtablishment of an Inspection Branch. The final part is concerned with training under the
headings Horse & Field Artillery; Mountain, Heavy and Siege Artillery; and Coast Artillery.
In all this the authors keep clear of campaigns and operational matters, reserving them for a
separate volume. Appendices contain tables showing armaments of Horse and Field Batteries,
particulars of Horse and Field Guns, and all natures of guns in the Service.
This volume continues the theme of the development of the Royal Artillery during the run-up
to the Great War, fifteen years compared with the forty of VoL I, fifteen years devoted to
definite preparation in which the developments in Organization, Armament and Training
discussed in Vol I were co-ordinated to a common aim. On the other hand the breach between
branches was widened by the separation between mounted and dismounted, and the general
trend towards spacialization. So, in this volume a different method has been adopted in which
the developments of each branch are recorded separately in three parts - The Field Army
Artillery, The Siege Artillery and the Coast Artillery. Part V has a couple of chapters on the
Auxiliary Artillery which included the Militia, Volunteers, the Special Reserve and the
Territorial Force. The final Part VI deals with Regimental Institutions such as the Remount
Department, the Riding Establishment, the RA Institution, the Artillery College, Gunnery
courses, the RMA, the RA Mess and the Bands. One of the appendices provides a chart
showing the distribution of units as on 1 Aug 1914. There is a very comprehensive index

In the first two volumes of this history nothing was said of active service, although the Army
was engaged in numerous wars in which the artillery played its part. The reason for this
omission was that none of these campaigns, with the possible exception of S Africa, affected
its development to a degree at all comparable with the influence exerted by the European
wars of the period, or by the advance of science, as described in Volume II. Thus in the
planning stage of this history, it was decided to treat the campaigns separately and this
volume is the result. It is primarily concerned with those campaigns which have marked some
real epoch in the life of the Regiment, or exerted some distinct influence on its development.
During the period covered the artillerymen faced all sorts of weapons: slings, arrows, jezails,
muskets, match-locks and spears but rarely did they have to face bursting shell. The wars in
which the enemy also had recourse to artillery were to be studied with care, and in
considering these the action of the artillery will be described in detail, with such comments
that are called for to bring out the lessons to be learned. The object has been to concentrate
on the role of the artillery without any discussions of political or or military factors that may
have led to the outbreak of hostilities. The wars covered are shown by theatres: India, China,
New Zealand and Canada, North & East Africa, West and South Africa and the South
African War.. with the latter are a number of appendices giving such details as Un...For more

This history of what the author proudly calls a famous troop of the Royal Horse Artillery
begins with the batterys formation by Captain (later Maj.Gen.) Sir George Fisher in 1801 in
time for the Napoleonic Wars. In these the Troop took a distinguished role at the Battle of
Waterloo - the charge of G Troop being the subject of a painting which forms the
frontispiece of this book. The unit next saw service during the Indian Mutiny in which it took
part in the campaign in Oude province. After helping disperse a somewhat farcical Fenian
revolt in ireland in 1867, GTroop took part in the Boer War, being present at the Battle of
Magersfontein, the relief of Kimberley and the wars final campaign. This fine unit history is
illustrated by plate portraits, maps of the Waterloo and South African campaigns, and is
accompanied by an appendix listing the units officers.
Price: 7.50
As the author says this history, published a year before the outbreak of the Great War, has
been written for the soldiers of the battery, past, present and future. It is written in the form of
a yearly diary with the year in the left margin, opposite the text describing events of that year.
Some entries are very thin, a couple of lines, but other years have a more detailed story to tell
- 1808/09 Corunna, 1855 the Crimea, and 1899-1901 the S African War where the years are
divided into months. But with only 40-odd pages of narrative covering over 150 years there
is not too much space for detail, but a great deal of attention is paid to dress details and to any
changes; nor are equipment replacements and changes to organization and establishments
overlooked..
There are four useful appendices: Battery movements and stations from 1795 to 1913;
Battery establishments - officers, NCOs, men and animals from 1759 to 1913; Daily rate of
pay of various ranks, majors down to drivers, from 1759 to 1913; succession of battery

This book tells the story of the Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment from the aftermath
of the Great War in 1920 down to the wake of the Second World War in 1950. The RWK did
garrison duty in India and the occupied Rhineland in the early 1920s, and in policing the
turbulent north and south of Ireland during the Irish independence struggle. The author calls
1923-32 the lean years when post-war cutbacks hit the RWK hard. After 1933, however, the
growing prospect of war with Nazi Germany meant gradual rearmament and partial
mechanisation. In 1938-39 the RWKs second battalion policed Palestine against Arab
unrest. The final months before war saw hasty preparation and expansion; and after war
broke out most battalions crossed to Franceand Belgium as part of the BEF. Here they found
themselves on the old battlefields of the Great War and even at Oudenarde, scene of one of
Marlborough;s victories. Swept up in the German Blitzkrieg of May 1940, the 6th and 7th
battalions were overrun at Doullens and Albert; while the Queens Own Brigade were

The 18th (Eastern) Division was formed in mid-September 1914, part of Kitcheners Second
New Army. It was lucky in its first GOC, Ivor Maxse, who had been brought home from
commanding the 1st (Guards) Brigade, an officer well known for his ability in training skills
and for demanding the highest standards. He was to be their GOC until January 1917, when
he was replaced by another highly capable commander, Richard Philip Lee, who remained in
command for the rest of the war. With the advantage of having only two GOCs, both of such
a calibre, the 18th Division reached a very high peak of efficiency and became one of the
best in the BEF. It was awarded eleven VCs, the second highest number awarded to a nonregular division, after the twelve won by the 55th (W Lanc) Division, and gained over 4,300
other awards; total casualties amounted to 46,503. This is a well written history, one of the
better works of its kind. It reads more like an adventure story than the somewhat stiff and
formal style we find with some divisional histories. Cyril Falls rates it highly. The author was
a journalist and this is reflected in his style of writing. He served in the division as an
artillery officer in the 82nd Brigade RFA and his account takes in events great and small, the
major battles and day to day happenings. He makes good use of official documents such as
location states, operational orders, order of battle and citations as well as personal anecdotes
and experiences. There is the curious statement that during a period of rest during Thi...For
The 6th Division was a pre-war regular division which, in 1914, was divided between Ireland
and England with HQ and one brigade in Cork, another brigade in Fermoy and the third
brigade in Lichfield. The division was not in the original BEF but arrived in France in time to
take part in the battle of the Aisne in September 1914. At the end of the war it was selected
for the march into Germany and occupied a sector between Cologne and Bonn. In March
1919 it ceased to exist as 6th Division when it was redesignated Midland Division. Total
casualties amounted to 53,740, four VCs were awarded.
The history is indeed a short one, intended as a record for those who served in it, as the editor
(the fourth and last GOC of the division) points out in his preface. It is based mainly on War
Diaries but lacks maps and illustrations. The actual narrative covers 80 pages with the
remainder given over to very useful appendices. Battle casualties are tabulated year by year
and by sector and dates within each year. There is a seventeen-page diary of events,
movements and actions; VC citations are given and the divisional order of battle information
is most comprehensive. It lists staffs and commanders as down to artillery battery and
engineer field company level as they were on mobilization, and again on 11th November. A
separate appendix lists changes in commanders and staff, with dates.
The 40th Division began to form in September 1915, by which time the standard height for
an infantry had been lowered, and one of the brigades, the 119th, consisted entirely of
bantams, all from Welsh regiments (RWF, SWB and the Welsh regiment). The other two
brigades were of mixed height but with a good number of bantams and these two brigades
had a large proportion of unfit men and it was quite clear to the GOC and brigade
commanders that a drastic weeding out programme would be necessary before the division
could even begin training. This was put in hand and the author gives a good explanation of
how it was done. It wasnt until June 1916 that the division was ready to go overseas, arriving
in France on the eve of the Somme offensive, too late to take part in the main battles apart
from the final one in November 1916, the battle of the Ancre. It fought with great distinction
in capturing Bourlon Wood in November 1917 during the Cambrai offensive and holding it
till relieved. In this action its casualties totalled 172 officers and 3,191 other ranks. To
commemorate this achievement GHQ granted permission for an acorn and oak leaves
representing Bourlon Wood to be added to the divisional sign of a diamond superimposed
on the bantam cock. In May 1918 the division was one of eight reduced to Training Cadre,
the battalions being replaced by Garrison Guard battalions from UK. In July the division was
reorganized, the title Garrison Guard done away with, and by the end of the month the
division had taken its place in the line,...For more information please visit www.navalmilitary-press.com

The 74th Division came into being in Egypt in March 1917, composed of three dismounted
brigades of yeomanry (2nd, 3rd and 4th), which had fought at Gallipoli in that role, had
returned to Egypt to form part of the Suez Canal Defence force and had been reorganized as
infantry brigades numbered 229th, 230th and 231st. The GOC, Maj Gen E.S Girdwood, took
as the divisional insignia a broken spur which, the author states, might have been a reflection
of the bitterness he felt over the fate that condemned the fine yeomanry regiments to an
infantry role. The division fought at the Second and Third Battles of Gaza, playing a leading
role in the latter, and took part in the capture of Beersheba and Jerusalem. In May 1918 the
division was transferred to the Western Front where it fought for the rest of the war, at
Bapaume, the Hindenburg Line battles, Epehy and the final advance in Artois and Flanders.
Total casualties numbered 8,654 of which just over 5,000 were incurred in France. Three
VCs were awarded but in the appendix giving the citations, one of them is shown as Sgt T.
Caldwell, who was not in the division when he performed his act of gallantry in October
1918, his battalion (12th RSF) had been transferred to the 31st Division four months

At the end of August 1914 the Territorial Force (TF) was authorised to raise reserve or 2ndline units and from these came the 2nd-line divisions, fourteen of them, one for each 1st-line
or original pre-war TF divisions. The 60th came into existence in September as the 2/2nd
London Division, receiving its number in August 1915 when all the 2nd-line divisions were
numbered. It embarked for France in June 1916 and went into the line in the Vimy sector
where it endured four months of crater and trench fighting. The division was withdrawn from
the BEF in November and sent to Macedonia , assembling at Salonika on Christmas Day
1916. For the next five months it was engaged in fighting the Bulgars, participating in the
British attacks near Lake Doiran in April and May. Their stay in Macedonia lasted only six
months, for in June 1917 the division was moved again - to Palestine where it saw out the
war. The division made a good name for itself in this campaign, at Third Gaza, Beersheba,
Jerusalem, Jericho and especially in carrying out two raids across the Jordan, which are

Palestine as part of Eastern Force under General Dobell. The first two attacks on Gaza
(March/April 1917) were failures though the division itself had done well in the first battle,
its success frustrated by inferior staff work, indecisive leadership, lack of communication and

The 59th Division was a Territorial second-line division (2nd N Midland), that came into
existence in January 1915. In April 1916, following the Easter Uprising, the division was sent
to Ireland, to Dublin, the first TF division to serve in Ireland. After suppressing the trouble in
Dublin the 59th was sent to the Curragh where it engaged in war training for the rest of the
year, returning to England in January 1917. In the following March the division crossed to
France and served thereafter on the Western Front - at Third Ypres, Cambrai, at St Quentin
and Bapaume in the German offensive of March 1918, at Baileul and Kemmel Ridge during
the German offensive on the Lys in April 1918. In early May the division was reduced to
training cadre status, losing its infantry battalions and other units, but the following month it
was reconstituted with Category B men from Garrison Guard battalions. After a period of
training the division went back into the line at the end of July and took part in the operations
east of Amiens in August and in the final advance in Artois and Flanders. This account is
unusual in two respects: in the first place it is not a formal history but a series of narratives
contributed by commanders and others, from GOC down to a WO at divisional HQ,
describing events from their point of view; and in the second place there is a separately
published supplement containing further narratives from one of the brigade commanders,

the 33rd - two of its brigades, 98th and 99th, were composed entirely of Royal Fusilier
battalions (17th to 24th). The division moved to France in November 1915 and immediately
on arrival the 99th Brigade was transferred to 2nd Division in exchange for the 19th (all
regular battalions) and for the rest of the war the division consisted of 19th, 98th and 100th
Brigades. It spent the first six months on the La Bassee front, a period of mining, countermining and trench raids, before moving down to the Somme where it was engaged in heavy
fighting on Bazentin Ridge, at High and Delville Woods. In March 1917 the division moved
north to the Arras front, taking part in First and Second Scarpe in May. After a short spell on
the coast at Nieuport in August 1917, where it encountered mustard gas for the first time, the
division moved down to Ypres in time to take part in the battle of Polygon Wood, suffering
2,905 casualties on one day. The division was still in Flanders when the Germans launched
their Spring offensive, 1918, and was heavily engaged in the battles of the Lys. In the
advance to victory the division took part in the battles of Epehy, St Quentin Canal,
Beaurevoir Line, Cambrai and finally the Selle. In all it suffered 37,404 casualties and was

30 Squadron served in the Middle East theatre in the Great War after being formed from
different Flights in England, Egypt and Mesopotamia (Iraq). The narrative opens early in
1915 with operations by CFlight to thwart Turkeys thrust towards the Suez Canal. A
Flight was formed in Mesopotamia by Imperial details from India, Australia and New
Zealand operating out of Basra, while B Flight came from England. The squadron helped
supply the besieged garrison at Kut -al-Asmara, dropping supplies by parachute. It also fell
victim to the capitulation of General Townshends army at Kut, where many of its records
were lost. Two of its officers, along with their observers and about 40 groundcrew, were
captured by the Turks and forced to take part in a death march to Mosul in northern Iraq in
which most of them perished. Equipped at first with seaplanes converted for use on land, the
squadron later used the unreliable Maurice Farmans, (The destruction of three of these in a
gale in 1916, the history laconically remarks probably saved several flying officers to the
Service). The squadron finally gained air superiority over the Turks, who were equipped
with German Fokker and Albatros aircraft, when they were re-equipped with B.E2Cs,
Voisins, and later with 120 Martinsydes. The desert climate presented special difficulties for
flying, including dust storms, engines overheating, and warping of spars and propellors, but
the squadron maintained daily patrols despite such arduous problems. After re-entrenching

This is an unusual unit history in that it was written at speed early in 1919 soon after the
events it recounts. The authors history of his squadron from its inception and training at
Castle Bromwich in 1916, down to the Armistice in November 1918 after its incorporation in
the new RAF, cloaks the exploits of individuals under a veil of annymity, but it makes up for
this in its recounting of the breezier side of war service - such as accounts of the doings of the
squadrons animal mascots. After training on Avros in England, the squadron was equipped
with the new DH4s before moving to France in the spring of 1917, in time for its blooding
at the battle of Arras in April 1917. It also took part in the battle of Messines in June 1917.
Based successively at Fienvillers and then Boisdinghem near St Omer, 55 patrolled over
Flanders and the Belgian coast before being transferred south to Ochey and Tantonville in the
French Vosges. From here it raided deep into Germany itself, hitting such targets as
Mannheim and Kaiserslauten. Illustrated with black and white drawings; the book also comes
with some fascinating appendices, such as the texts of airmens song sung around the

This is a collective history, written by various hands, of a Royal Naval Air Service squadron
that was later absorbed into the new Royal Air Force. No. 8 Squadron - known as Naval
Eight to its members - was born when its original three Flights (or eighteen aeroplances)
were detached by the Admiralty from duties with the Dover Patrol over the English Channel
and attached for temporary duty with the BEF in France at the height of the battle of the
Somme in October 1916. The original squadron was entirely composed of aviators who were
volunteers, and its elan and espirit de corps were high. The experiment of lending a Naval
air squadron for duties on land was so successful that four further RNAS squadrons followed
No. 8s lead in 1916, and the way was paved for the creation of the RAF in April 1918.
Based at Mont St Eloi airfield, and equipped with Sopwith aircraft ( the 110 P Clerget; the
Pup; the Camel; the 130 H.P. Clerget triplane; and the Snipe) - as well as with French
Nieuport scouts NO.8 spent two years in the fiercest air fighting that the Western front could
offer. As a fighting unit in the heat of the action, No.8 took a heavy toll of casualties, but it
gave as good as it got, and often clashed with such elite enemy units as Baron Manfred von
Richthofens Flying Circus. No. 8 tested rival flying tactics against the red Baron and
frequently came off best even when outnumbered. This is an excellent history of an elite
flying unit and comes complete with some 30 photographs of men, machines and a...For
A squadron history strictly based on the units diary of operations on the Western Front in the
final year of the Great War, and written by the squadron commander. 99 was a bombing
squadron, equipped with DH9s, and employed on long-distance raids both on enemyoccupied areas of Alsace-Lorraine in France and inside Germany itself. This factual history
gives and unvarnished and detailed account of its raids on such targets as Dillingen and
Offenburg railway stations; Hagenau and Buhl aerodromes; Metz and Thionville rail sidings.
The volume is particularly distinguished by the great quantity of aerial reconnaissance photos
showing the damage inflictied in its raids. As such it should be of great value to all those
interested in the development of air bombing.
A simple and factual concise history of an RFC ( later RAF) squadron from its formation
early in the Great War until after the Second World War. This edtion - published in
association with the Imperial War Museum - is the first publication of a typescript originally
written for private circulation. Upon its foundation, 31 squadron was sent to Bombay for war
service in India, flying its first operation in its BE 2C aircraft early in 1916. In 1917, based at
Risalpur, it was employed in operations against the Mahsud tribesmen of the north-west
Frontier who, urged on by their Mullahs, had risen against the British Raj. The 31st helped
put down the revolt by bombing and machine-gunning Mahsud villages and columns. In
1919, after quelling riots by Sikhs around Amritsar, the squadron was employed in
Afghanistan where tribesmen had declared a new Jihad against the British. The squadron
carried out almost daily bombing attacks, including one raid on the Afghani Amirs palace in
his capital Kabul. The bombing helped to demoralise the Afghanis who sued for peace.
Peacekeeping operations with new Bristol aircraft continued sporadically in the troubled
north-west region where tribesmen continued their resistance to British rule. In the Second
World War, equipped with Valencia and DC2 aircraft, the squadron countered the pro-Axis
coup in Iraq in 1941, flying in material and evacuating casualties from Habbaniya airfield. In
1942, following the Japanese entry into the war, it performed the same funcrtion in Burma.

100 Squadron was a pioneer night bombing unit, and was the first to be raised specifically for
that purpose by Hugh Trenchard, the father of the RAF who contributes a forwrod to this
history, commending the squadron, and its willingness to go out and bomb in all weathers,
and the ability of its groundcrew to keep their aircraft airbourne in all conditions. . This book
traces the squadrons story from its formation in March 1917 to the Armistice in November
1918. Equipped with F.E.2B and BE2 aircraft, the squadron, based at Izel Le Hameau
airfield, commenced its life with a raid against Douai aerodrome. In May 1917 the squadron
transferred to Trexennes airfield near Aire, where, according to the author the concert pitch
of the Squadrons work was achieved. Forced to evacuate this site during the German
advance of 1918, 100 transferred to Ochey in Alsace-Lorriane from where it carried out night
raids on Germany itself. - including on Frankfurt, Mannheim and Ludwigshafen.Shortly
before the war ended, the squadron took delivery of the new and advanced Handley-Page
bombers. This full history of the squadrons activities included many photographs of its men,
its machines, and reconnaisance shots of the damage it did.

The 4th (QUEENS OWN) HUSSARS
IN THE GREAT WAR
This is the official history, compiled by the War Office, of four armed British expeditions,
mounted in the Horn of Africa into some of the most inhospitable terrain on earth. The
Somali expeditions were launched a century ago in territory which, then as now, is intractable
and ungovernable - at least by foreigners. Although described by the War Office as
Uncivilised and little-known - Somaliland was situated in a key position on the western side
of the Red Sea, dominating the southern approaches to the Suez Canal and thus sitting astride
British communications with India, the Far East and Australasia. All the powers had an
interest in Somaliland and three of them - Britain, France and Italy, - had, by the turn of the
19th/20th centuries, established protectorates - small slices of territory to safeguard their
interests there. Periodically the native tribes, known generally to the British as Dervishes,
were stirred by their Mullahs to harass these territories, and it was to deter and drive back
such hostile demonstrations that the four Somali operations were mounted. These two
volumes recount the stories of these punitive expeditions in great detail, and are accompanied
by many maps, charts and some fine quality photographs to tell the complete story of an
almost forgotten small war.
Mobilised in 1914, trained at Shorncliffe in Kent in 1915, the 4th Brigade of the Canadian
Field Artillery found themselves in action in some of the hottest spots on the Western Front
after their arrival in France in 1916. Their first taste of trench warfare was in and around the
Ypres Salient at St Eloi, Hooge and Sanctuary Wood. They then moved south to take part in
the later stages of the Battle of the Somme, where they helped their comrades in the Canadian
infantry capture the village of Courcellette and the nearby Regina Trench. In 1917, the
artillerymen again assisted the Canadian infantry in tbhe famous seizure of Vimy Ridge,
which they helped hold thereafter. They suffered grevious losses later that year in the battle
of Passchendaele (third Ypres) and in 1918 played a vital role in holding off the German
advance before Amiens. Finally, they took part in the storming of the Hindenburg Line which
led to the November 11th Armistice. Accompanied by appendices listing Rolls of Honour,
lists of decorations, Commanding officers and other ranks, and illustrated by eleven photos,
eleven maps and by some fine line drawings, this is a complete record of a gallant unit of
gunners.

Compiled at the instigation of the Old Comrades Association of the 1/6th Battalion of the
West Yorkshire regiment, this is a typical no-nonsense history of a down-to-earth unit that
saw active service, suffered heavy casualties, and rendered sterling service in some of the
very worst fighting seen on the western front during the Great War. With a laconic foreword
by General Plumer, in whose 2nd Army the 1/6th West Yorkshires served at Ypres and
Passchendaele, the book gives a full account of the battalions service which, in addition to
third Ypres, included action at Nieuport, on the coastal tip of the trenchlines, and on the
Somme at Thiepval. After enduring the great German offensives in the spring of 1918, they
took part in the Allied counter push, moving from Cambrai to Valenciennes before the
Armistice brought the war to an end. With a range of photographs of officers, men, and aerial
shots of trench warfare, this volumw has a particularly fine and extensive selection of trench
maps as well as Rolls of Honour, decorations etc.

between accounts of bloody battles at Irun and St Sebastian, comparisons with the Peninsular

Formed originally as the 37th Division in December 1914, mainly through the efforts of the
Earl of Derby, whose crest, the Eagle and Child on the Cap of Maintenance was adopted as
the divisional sign, the division was renumbered 30th in April 1915. It was the senior division
of Kitcheners Fourth New Army and was an entirely Lancashire division: the infantry came
from the Kings (Liverpool) and the Manchesters, all Pals battalions, while the artillery,
engineers and signals were all designated County Palatine. The division went to France in
November 1915 and on the opening day of the Somme it recorded one of the few successes
of that awful day by securing all its objectives, including Montauban. For the next two years
it fought on the Western Front but by May 1918 its casualties were such that it was reduced
to cadre and ceased to exist in its original form. It was reconstituted in June/July with nine
new battalions and re-entered the line in September 1918, and it is at this point that this
history takes up the story.
It begins with the Order of Battle of the reformed division and the list of staff and
commanders down to unit level and follows this with a very cursory review of the activities
of the original, pre-reform division, and background notes on the battalions of the new

This is the second of a three-volume Regimental history and is concerned principally with the
1st and 2nd Battalions (1/2nd GR, 2/2nd GR) during the Great War. In the summer of 1917
the Regiment formed a third battalion (3/2nd GR), which was disbanded in 1920 without
going overseas on active service, although it was involved in internal security in Peshawar.
The book is arranged in two parts, Part I is entitled France, Egypt, North-West Frontier and
runs from 1911 to1920; curiously no reference is made in the title to the North East Frontier
where the 1st Battalion was engaged in a punitive expedition against the Abor tribesmen in
the region of Assam in 1911, an operation described in the first two chapters. Part II covers
Mesopotamia and North Persia (1914 to 1920). There are twenty-two chapters in all,
numbered in unbroken sequence through both parts, the first thirteen make up Part I. Each
chapter covers a specified time period, which is the chapter title together with the relevant
sketch number(s), and under it are summarised the contents, in considerable detail. Apart
from the opening two chapters, Part I is the story of the 2nd Battalion on the Western front,
where it served with the Dehra Dun Brigade, (7th) Meerut Division of the Indian Corps from
October 1914 to November 1915 when the Indian divisions were withdrawn from France. It
returned to India in February 1916 and subsequently was engaged in the 3rd Afghan War in
1919. Part II describes the activities of the 1st Battalion in Mesopotamia, where it arrived (at

The battery was formed at Harwich in August 1915 and in the early days of its existence
there had to be a measure of improvisation and inspiration since there were no guns. Old
lumber and any sort of equipment took the place of guns but, blessed with one or two expert
carpenters in the battery, it wasnt long before very creditable productions in the way of
imitation directors and dial sights were soon available. When the battery started training, it
had to use 8 inch and 6.6 muzzle- loading howitzers with black powder charges. The battery
went to France in March 1916, equipped with four 9.2 inch, and took up positions near
Albert. On 1st July the 76th took part in the bombardment that opened the Somme offensive;
it was in support of X Corps at Thiepval. It was at Vimy Ridge in April 1917, supporting the
Canadians; it was in the Salient during Third Ypres and back on the Somme in 1918 during
the German offensive and then the advance to victory. These sub-unit histories are aimed at
those who served in them, to bring back memories of personalities, casualties, places, times
in the line, times back at rest, and above all - comradeship. Nevertheless this is a good
account of the war as experienced by a 9.2 inch battery and a most useful source of
information on the artillery war. It ends with the Roll of Honour, the list of Awards and the
nominal roll of the original members of the battery, showing what happened to each man promotion, posting, casualty etc.
The artillery brigades and ammunition column that served the 39th Division were raised
through the efforts of the Mayor and Borough Council of Deptford between May and August
1915; the brigades were numbered 174, 179, 184 and 186. The opening chapter describes in
some detail the circumstances under which they were formed. The division went to France at
the beginninig of March 1916 and remained on the Western Front for the rest of the war. The
first part of the book provides a brief account of the artillerys battle experiences on the
Somme (Beaumont Hamel, Thiepval and the Schwaben Redoubt); in the Salient through
1917; in the great retreat following the German March offensive, and finally in the Advance
to Victory. In all their casualties amounted to some 1760 out of a divisional total of 27,869.
The greater and more significant part of the book (sixty percent), is taken up with very
informative appendices, which include: a table detailing the order of battle of the divisional
artillery; the nominal roll of officers who served in it, in alphabetical order; casualties to
officers and casualties to men, giving nature of casualty, i.e. killed, wounded etc. For some
reason the date of casualty is given for the men (who are listed by unit, in chronological
order) but not for the officers, who are not listed in any apparent order. Finally there is a list
of Honours and Awards.
The battery was raised at Forth in June 1916, equipped with four 6in Howitzers. The book
describes the origin of the battery and opens with the nominal roll of the original battery, six
officers and 128 men, with a group photo. To this roll are added, separately, the names of 14
officers who joined later. At the end is the nominal roll at the start of demobilization, six
officers and 130 men, again with a group photo.
The battery left for France on 8 October 1916, joining the 54th Heavy Artillery Group in the
Arras sector, where it was in action in the offensive of April 1917 and in May. In June 1917
it moved to Ypres and took part in the Third Ypres fighting. In November the battery was in
action at Cambrai and in March 1918 it was involved in the retreat and then in the counteroffensive leading to the final advance. An ammunition report gives the total expenditure in
the two years the battery was on the Western Front as 108,271 rounds, a weight of 4,833 tons.
There is a list of honours and awards and of promotions and postings out of the battery. The
roll of honour gives date of death and place of burial (there were no officers among the dead),
and there is a separate roll of the wounded, again with date. Most useful is the diary of events
detailing the batterys moves, locations, and periods in action.

The battery whose story is briefly chronicled in this book, was fortunate in one respect,
possibly even unique. From its formation in October 1914 till demobilised in 1919 it had only
one commander, the author of this book, Major Grant, who, as a young subaltern, was given
command of a hundred Kitchener volunteers and told to make a battery of them. So the
262nd Battery RFA came into being; three months later it became A Battery of the 84th
Brigade, RFA. Another piece of good fortune was the division to which it was allocated - the
18th (Eastern) Division, then being formed as part of Kitcheners Second New Army. Its
GOC was Ivor Maxse, a Coldstreamer, an officer well known for his ability in training skills,
and under his command the 18th Division was to become one of the best in the BEF.
They went to France in July 1915 and moved into the Fricourt-Carnoy sector. During the next
nineteen months the battery fought in all the battles of the 18th Division, right through the
Somme offensive in which the division was engaged in nine battles and actions. At the
beginning of 1917 a new type of artillery unit was created, the Army Brigade R.F.A. Most of
these were formed by withdrawing an artillery brigade from each division and the 84th
Brigade was selected from the 18th Division, assuming its new role on 22 Feb 1917. These
brigades were available for attachment to any division, corps or army needing reinforcement
in artillery, and by the end of the war the 84th Army Brigade RFA had served with twenty
two different divisions, t...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com
The 135th Siege Battery came into being in May 1916, at Tynemouth, equipped with 8
Howitzers, four at first, made up to six in January 1918. Only three months after it had been
formed the battery landed in France, in August 1916, and went straight into the Somme
battle. Subsequently it was in action in the Arras sector from March to July 1917, then on the
coast at Nieuport where it remained till December. From December 1917 to December 1918
it was part of the 83rd Brigade, R.G.A. and in that period it was in action at Vimy Ridge in
support of the 47th and 56th Divisions. It played a significant part in the defence against and
defeat of enemy assaults on that feature. At the end of July the battery moved to the Amiens
sector to take part in the allied counter-offensive and in the final advance. All this activity is
well covered in the narrative and well supported by maps, and diagrams with good photos.
Where this book scores highly is in the appendices and the information they contain, the first
of which (most unusual) is the record of one of its howitzers, on display at the Crystal Palace
after the war, in the form of a diary describing how it was employed between January 1918
and the armistice. There is a Roll of Honour listing the twenty-nine killed or died of wounds
stating where and when the casualty occurred and where the dead man is buried. Another
appendix lists all the wounded with date, nature of casualty and disposal. There is the
monthly summary of casualties from August 1916 to October 1918 and there are tables s...
The 29th Division (The Incomparable 29th) was formed between January and March 1915
and took part in the Gallipoli campaign from the landings in April 1915 till evacuated in
January 1916, and then went to the Western Front where it remained for the rest of the war.
In all it won twenty-three VCs, the highest number awarded to any division, one of them to
Capt Walford of the divisional artillery. This record originated in the Honours Book kept by
29th Divisions GOC, Maj-Gen de Lisle (June 1915 - March 1918), and continued by his
successor, Maj-Gen D.S Cayley. The original intention had been to provide the recipients of
honours with some record of the deeds for which they had been awarded. The Honours Book,
however, did not include the text of the recommendations, obviously impracticable on active
service, but the task was undertaken, as far as the divisional artillery was concerned, after the
division had settled in Germany as part of the Army of Occupation. Then it was decided to
improve on the original idea and include a short history of the doings of the divisional
artillery, a list of casualties, and a record of officers services.
Part I contains the list of honours to officers and men, grouped separately and arranged in
alphabetical order with citations, followed by the same list (less citations) arranged according
to units, in chronological order. Part II is the list of all those who were killed, wounded or
missing, arranged in alphabetical order, officers and other ranks grouped separately. Details

On 14th January, 1915, a letter from the War Office to the Mayor of Camberwell authorised
the recruiting of a brigade of field artillery (156th Brigade R.F.A). The local response was so
prompt that further authority was given to raise another brigade in the same neighbourhood,
to be designated 162nd Brigade R.F.A. and this was done by mid May. It was then brought to
the attention of the WO that a mass of would-be recruits still remained in the Camberwell
Borough, enough to complete the whole of the artillery for the 33rd Division, a Kitchener
division of the Fourth New Army. The two additional field artillery brigades needed were
numbered 166th and 167th (Howitzer), and the divisional ammunition column (33rd D.A.C)
was also formed.
This book took nearly two years to complete and throughout that time the author maintained
the closest collaboration with the official war diaries, personal diaries, letters and experiences
of individuals and every sort of reliable information to produce an accurate and complete
record of the doings of the batteries in France. An appendix contains a list of the casualties
suffered by the divisional artillery (officers by name, other ranks numerically) during the war,
another shows all the other divisions supported by 33rd Divisional Artillery, when and
where; a third appendix shows the various sectors of the line where the batteries were in

This little history is a gem, a delight for the researcher, the medallist, the historian and for the
general reader with an interest in the war of the guns on the Western Front. It was compiled
as a basis for the creation of a 94 Siege Battery Old Comrades Association and as such
would contain a nominal roll of all ranks who served in the battery, and it is much more than
a simple nominal roll.
94 Siege Battery (9.2 inch Howitzers) began its existence on 16th December 1916 at
Tynemouth under the command of Capt D.A.Sandford who was to command it right through
to 4th September 1918. Forty percent of the personnel consisted of Regulars and New Army
men from the Tynemouth R.G.A. garrison, the remainder were Territorials from the Durham
R.G.A (West Hartlepools). The Battery went to France on 30th May 1916 and subsequently
fought on the Somme, at Arras, Messines, on the Flanders coast, in the March 1918 retreat
and the counter offensive and advance to victory. It was demobilised in June 1919. Taking up
nearly half of the book is the final chapter headed Nominal Rolls. This is made up of eight
parts: Roll of Honour giving date, place and nature of death; Honours and Awards, giving
date and where obtained. Then follow a series of nominal rolls, in each case giving home
address, period with the unit and reason for leaving, and these rolls are: Officers; NCOs and
men who joined the battery on formation and served with it throughout its time in France;

This book is a compilation of Diaries and Trench Mortar Memories contributed by various
members of the 32nd Divisional Artillery, and apart from anything else it goes some way to
make up for the lack of a full divisional history. The 32nd Division landed in France in
November 1915 without its artillery which had been transferred to the 31st Division. In return
the 31st Divisional artillery joined the 32nd Division in France in December 1915 and was
redesignated 32nd Divisional Artillery. The War Office worked in even more mysterious
ways than the Lord!
The diaries make up the bulk of the book which begins with the diary of Lieut A.B.Scott,
who served with the 32nd Divisional Artillery in X and W Trench Mortar Batteries (TMB)
and, from March 1917 onwards, as Reconnaissance Officer at HQ Divisional Artillery. As
there is little written about operations with TMBs this well-written diary is a most useful
source of information on that aspect of artillery warfare on the Western Front. But the main
part of the book, almost 500 pages, is the diary of the Rev R.E Grice-Hutchinson, the
divisional artillery chaplain who left for France on 1 July 1916 and remained with the
division to the end of the war. But his diary goes on through to 19th October 1919 which
makes it about the longest, personal diary of the Great War to appear in print, and it is a very
good one. If you want to know what the 32nd Division got up to, look no further!. The last of

The 15th Infantry Brigade was a pre-war regular brigade, part of the 5th Infantry Division,
and stationed in Ireland in August 1914. The brigade consisted of the 1st Battalions of the
Norfolks, Bedfords, Cheshires and Dorsets and on mobilization its strength was 127 officers,
3958 men, 258 horses and 74 vehicles. The 5th Division together with the 3rd Division made
up II Corps (Grierson) while 1st and 2nd Divisions formed I Corps (Haig); these four
divisions formed the original BEF. The Brigade arrived in France on 16th August 1914 and
this account is an expanded version of a scrappy diary which Gleichen kept in France from
day to day (contrary to regulations), and although he pruned it of certain personal matters he
did not add to it in the light of subsequent events. So we follow its fortunes at Mons, Le
Cateau, the Retreat, the Marne and the Aisne before the move to Flanders and the First Battle
of Ypres and finally a description of trench life opposite Messines. It was his brigades fate to
have to detail the first firing squad of the war to execute a deserter from 1st RWK in 13th
Brigade. This account of the first months of the war as seen through the eyes of the brigade
commander is invaluable, apart from being an excellent read. Gleichen, whose title Count
was changed to Lord, left the 15th Brigade on 2 March 1915 to return to the UK and take
command of 37th Division, one of Kitcheners New Army divisions.
The author of this book was a Brigadier-General in 1914, commanding the 10th Infantry
Brigade (1st R Warwicks, 2nd Seaforth H, 1st R Irish Fusiliers and 2nd R Dublin Fusiliers)
of the 4th Division; he ended up as a corps commander. The 4th Division formed the second
wave of the BEF, arriving in France on 22nd August 1914 in time to join in the retreat from
Mons. This account, though not published until after the war, was written at the front in the
Spring of 1915 and the author has allowed it to stand practically as it was written at the time,
thus providing a valuable and immediate contribution to the fighting in those early days. He
covers Le Cateau, the retreat, the subsequent advance to the Aisne and the move to Flanders.
In mid-November 1914 Haldane handed over command of 10th Brigade at Plugstreet on
promotion to command of the 3rd Division at Ypres, where its commander, Maj Gen E.
Hamilton, had been killed. During the retreat from Mons the COs of 1st R Warwicks and 2nd
RDF attempted to negotiate the surrender of their battalions at St Quentin, a move that was
frustrated by the actions of Major Tom Bridges. Both COs were courtmartialled and
cashiered, but Haldane makes no mention of the incident.

The author was C of E chaplain to the 86th Brigade and his account is sub-titled A
Chaplains Experiences ; it covers the period 27th January 1915, when he reported to the HQ
of the newly formed 29th Division in Leamington, to 12th August 1915 when he arrived in
Alexandria having been evacuated sick (diphtheria) from the Peninsula. The 86th Brigade
was a Fusilier Brigade with 2nd Royal Fusiliers, 1st Lancashire Fusiliers, 1st Royal Munster
Fusiliers and 1st Royal Dublin Fusiliers, and it was the first to land on 25th April 1915. It
was with the first two mentioned that Creighton had most contact and they feature
prominently in this account. The other two battalions, being recruited mainly from the south
of Ireland, were predominantly RC. Creighton had come straight from civvy street and took
a little while to find his feet among regular troops. His first church parade was with the 2nd
RF and he remarks on the exact precision with which the parade was conducted. The service
was taken by the vicar and Creighton asked that no ladies should be present! Some girls got
into the gallery with the soldiers, but, as he remarks, fortunately they were ejected before the
sermon. Evidently a very po-faced padre!
This account is based on his diary and he took pains to write only what he got firsthand and
from personal observation and he has tried to be as accurate as possible. The interesting
photos were borrowed from the CO of 2nd RF and his narrative does give a feel for the
conditions and fighting on the Peninsula. At one stage he ...For more information please visit
The Liverpool Scottish was the 10th Battalion of the Kings (Liverpool) Regiment, a
Territorial battalion, and this history was written to help ex-members keep fresh the memory
of what they had been through during the Great War, and secondly as an example to
encourage new members to uphold the high reputation inherited from those who had gone
before. Although it was the 10th (TF) Battalion of a line regiment the author has treated it as
a regiment in its own right (like the London Scottish) with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalion
(actually 1/10th, 2/10th and 3/10th); all three battalions are covered in this very full
account. The battalion landed in France on 3rd November 1914, one of the earliest to join the
BEF, and later that month it joined the 9th Brigade, 3rd division, a regular army formation of
the original BEF, remaining with it to the end of 1915. All this time was spent in the Salient.
In January 1916 it joined the 166th Brigade in France in the re-formed 55th West Lancs
Division with which it served for the rest of the war. This division claimed the highest
number of VCs in a non-regular division, among them the only VC and bar to be awarded in
the Great War, Noel Chavasse RAMC, who was the Liverpool Scottish battalion Medical
Officer until dying of wounds received winning his second VC in the Salient in August 1917.
The 2nd Battalion (2/10th) was the second line battalion, formed in October 1914 in
Liverpool. It went to France in February 1917 with 172nd Brigade, 57th Division and fought

In the Indian Army of my day this was the 10th Baluch Regiment which, on the outbreak of
war in 1939, consisted of five active battalions (1st to 5th) and a training battalion (10th).
During the war a further eight active service battalions were raised (6th to 9th and 14th to
17th) and in addition three Garrison Battalions and four Garrison Companies, the latter
providing security and administrative personnel at schools of instruction, GHQ Delhi and
military prisons. In May The 10th Training Battalion at Karachi was redesignated the
Baluch Regimental Centre (BRC) . Most of this history is about World War II and the part
played by the Regiment, whose battalions served in Waziristan (NW Frontier), Iraq, Iran,
Syria, Lebanon, N Africa, Eritrea, Sicily, Italy Greece, Malaya, Singapore and Burma,
winning two VCs and suffering a total of 6,371 casualties of whom 763 were killed and a
further 239 died due to sickness etc. Of the total, 92 were officers holding the Kings
Commission and 168 the Viceroys Commission (Jemadar, Subedar and Subedar Major).
The operations and battles are well described and supported by plenty of maps and a number
of interesting photos. But of particular interest is the part dealing with post-war, the birth of
Pakistan, partition and the appalling the massacres of refugees and the break-up of the old
Indian Army. The author, who was commissioned in the Baloch Regiment in 1958 and

Despite a somewhat cynical title I rate this high on the richter scale of Great War memoirs,
it is very good, full of incident with some wonderfully descriptive writing. The author, a
Glaswegian, was in Nigeria when war broke out and joined a local volunteer force called the
Nigerian Land Contingent, but he returned to the UK in early 1915, enlisted in the Scots
Guards and after fourteen weeks recruit training at the Guards Depot at Caterham he was
posted to the 3rd (Reserve) Battalion at Wellington Barracks. The opening few chapters give
a lively account of life in the Guards - guard mounting, royal duties and one occasion on
Christmas Eve, 1915, when the sergeant of the guard became paralytic and had to be put to
bed, but not before he had staggered out into the middle of Birdcage Walk and challenged
anybody in the world to fight! In January 1916 Cuddeford was commissioned into the HLI
and after a spell with the 13th (Reserve) Battalion joined the 12th Battalion in France (46th
Brigade, 15th Scottish Division) in August 1916.
His descriptions of life in and out of the trenches make wonderful reading, but two incidents
in particular stand out in my mind. The first was in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette in
September 1916 at Martinpuich. A sunken road leads from the village to Courcelette, still
very visible and probably changed little since 1916. Here Cuddeford, bringing up the

THE BATTLE OF AMIENS 1918, and

Operations 8th August-3rd September,
1918.
This memoir was first published in Denmark entitled No Mans Land but when translated
into English that title, for some reason, was changed to Merry Hell!, not, in my opinion, a
very inspiring choice. Dinesen (1892-1979) was in Denmark when war broke out, and despite
efforts to get to the war with the French Army, the French Foreign Legion and the British
Army he was continually frustrated by officialdom who would not grant the necessary visa
for him to get into France or UK. So he made it across to the USA where he tried again (for
the American Army) and failed again. Finally he looked in on the Canadian HQ in New York
and was given a warm welcome and advised to try for either The Princess Pats or, if he liked
the idea of wearing a kilt, The 42nd Royal Highlanders of Canada, The Canadian Black
Watch. So he was trasported in a group of fourteen to Montreal where, on 26 June 1917, he
enlisted in the The Royal Highlanders (Princess Pats were not recruiting at the time) issued
with a kilt and, handicapped by a limited knowledge of English, spent some time wondering
why the regiment was named after a black watch. The first hundred or so pages describes all
this and his training in Canada and in England till finally, on 15 March 1918, he arrives in
France. His battalion was in 7th Brigade, 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. This is certainly a
rousing tale the way it is told with Dinesen frequently resorting to a sort of running
commentary when describing the fighting. The action in which he won his VC near Parvillers

TRENCH PICTURES FROM
FRANCE
Long out of print, this is the account of what many regard as the decisive military campaign
of the Great War - and, indeed, of the whole 20th century. - by the German general who
fought and lost it.
Alexander von Kluck was a fire-eating commander of great ability and dash. He was given
the crucial role in 1914 of commanding the German First Army, the fist of the famous
Schlieffen Plan to knock out France in a lightning six-week campaign. Klucks mission was
to march through Belgium ( bringing Britain into the war), drive through north-east France
and scoop up Paris, thus trapping the main French armies between their capital and the
Franco-German frontier where the German left-wing was waiting. Kluck did all that was
asked of him, but when Schlieffens plan left the drawing board and was tested on the
battlefield, it began to unravel. Firstly, the British Expeditionary Force arrived in France
much faster than the Germans had expected, fighting delaying actions against Kluck at Mons
and Le Cateau. Secondly, as he approached Paris, Klucks exhausted army began to lose
touch with the Second Army of von Bulow to their left. Crucially, Kluck sidestepped
westwards to keep in touch with Bulow, thus giving Frances General Joffre the chance to
launch the counterstroke attack on his flank that became the Battle of the Marne; a series of
engagements which first checked, then reversed, the hitherto victorious German onslaught.

This is a very full history of one of the British Armys elite cavalry regiments over two
centuries, written by a former CO of the regiment just before the cavalry galloped out of the
annals of war, pursued by the 20th centurys mechanisation of conflict. The 10th Royal
Hussars were raised early in the 18th century, and saw their first action at the Battles of
Falkirk and Culloden in putting down the 1745-46 Jacobite rebellion. In the Seven Years
War with France, the 10th fought at the Battles of Minden, Warburg, Campen and
Grebenstein. In the reign of George IIi the 10th became particularly fashionable, and George
IV, when Prince of Wales, though a very non-military monarch, became its commander.
(One of Georges favourites, the arbiter of fashion Beau Brummel, was briefly an officer of
the regiment, though his career came to an inglorious end when he was thrown by his horse
while parading at Brighton). In the Napoleonic Wars, the 10th faced the Emperor himself in
Portugal, before taking part in the Corunna campaign under Sir John Moore. Returning to
Iberia, the regiment fought in the battle of Vittoria under the Duke of Wellingortn, pursued
the enemy into France, and took part in the battles of Orthez and Toulouse. In the battle of
Waterloo, the 10th took a full part, charging the French Imperial Guard at the height of the
battle. The 10th saw garrison duty in India before the outbreak fo the Crimean War in which
it saw service during the siege of Sebastipol. The 10th Hussars took part in the Afghan Wars

RHODESIA AND AFTER: Being the

Story of the 17th and 18th Battalions of
I.Y.
Sharrad H. Gilbert
As his title indicates, Captain Jones-Parry had a long and distinguished career at the heart of
the British Empire at its mid-Victorian acme, and was often in the heat of the action. After
serving in the Madras Fusiliers during the Burmese War of 1852-53 - when he was involved
in the investment and defence of Pegu, Jones-Parry took part in the Crimean War in 1854-55
when he was Assistant Quarter-Master General of the 2nd Infantry Division supplied by the
Turks, Britain and Frances ally against the Russians. The author was stationed in India when
the 1857 Mutiny broke out, and marched with General Havelocks column to relieve the
siege of Lucknow. He took part in the storming and reduction of the Secunderabagh,
Shahnujuff, and Tara Kotee, and returned to Lucknow with General James Outram when the
siege was lifted a second time. He took part in the final campaign to repress the remnants of
the Mutiny in Oudh. This book offers a clear, vivid and unvarnished old soldiers account of
great and dramatic events. It is illustrated with a fine frontispiece of the author.
Originally commissioned by order of King William IV oin the 1830s, publication of this full
and fascinating regimental history was suspended, then work resumed on it in the 1880s. The
result of this delay is a particularly detailed account of a unit that saw service in most of the
British Empires theatres of war and peace between the 1790s when it was raised, down to
the high noon of the Victorian Empire in the 1880s. The 89th Princess Victoria Regiment
was recruited in Ireland, and speedily saw service in their native island in repelling a
French landing at Bantry Bay in 1796, and again saw action during the French-backed 1798
rebellion, when it fought at the battle of Vinegar Hill. In 1800 the 89th were again in action
against the French in Sicily and Malta, and in 1801 fought under Sir Ralph Abercrombie in
Egypt. At the time of the Napoleonic Wars the regiment served in South America and India,
while its 2nd Battalion also served in the 1812 War against the United States. The Regiment
fought in Indias Mahratta War in 1818, and the Burmese War of 1824-25. It continued to do
garrison duty in India in the late 1820s, and in the Caribbean in the 1830s, where it suffered
cruelly from the ravages of Yellow fever. In the year of revolutions, 1848, the regiment was
employed at home in England during the repression of the Chartist riots. During the Crimean
War the regiment served with distiction at the Battle of Balaclava and the Siege of
Sebastopol. In the following year, 1857, the regiment was rushed to India to deal wit...For
The 17th and 18th Battalions IY were formed from the 50th Company, a Hampshire
contingent; the 60th and 61st, both raised in Belfast and known as the Irish Yeomanry; the
65th, a Leicestershire contingent, and the 67th, 70th, 71st and 75th, all of which were raised
and equipped by the Earl of Dunraven and known collectively as Dunravens Sharpshooters.

This is a history of three regiments: Vol I The 63rd and 96th Foot; Vol II The Manchester
Regiment. The 63rd began as 2nd Battalion 8th Foot in 1756; in 1758 it became a separate
regiment, was numbered 63 and almost immediately sent to Guadeloupe with an expedition
against the French. Subsequently it fought in the American War of Independence, in Flanders
and the ill-fated Walcheren expedition, in the Crimea, India and Burma and the 2nd Afghan
War, gaining fifteen battle honours in all. The 96th, raised in 1824, was the sixth regiment to
have that number, taking the Egyptian and Peninsular honours of its immediate predecessor,
96th Queens Own, disbanded in 1818. It fought in the First Maori War adding the battle
honour New Zealand to the other two. Volume II is concerned with the regular battalions of
The Manchester Regiment which came into being in 1881 with the Cardwell Reforms, when
the 63rd and 96th were paired to form the 1st and 2nd Battalions respectively of the new
regiment. Both battalions fought in the S African war and in 1900 two more regular
battalions, 3rd and 4th, were formed, both were in the S African war and both were disbanded
in 1906. In the Great War there were 42 battalions but this volume deals only with the 1st and
2nd Battalions. The 1st served with the 3rd (Lahore) Division on the Western Front, in
Mesopotamia and Palestine, the 2nd on the Western Front from Mons to the Armistice, first
with 5th Division, and then from the end of 1915 with the 32nd Division. The final chapter

The Durham Light Infantry is not only one of the British armys proudest and most
distinguised units - it is also one of the best recorded. This book is one among several
published by the Naval and Military Press chronicling the DLIs many battle exploits, and it
tells the regiments story during the Second World War. The historycomes complete with a
foreword by Field-Marshal Montgomery who often found himself commanding the DLI in
many fields, from Alamein to Germany via Sicily, Normandy and Holland. Monty writes: It
is a magnificent Regiment, steady as a rock in battle and absolutely reliable on all occasions.
This book tells the full and thrilling story of the regiments many battle honours, which
include Arras and Dunkirk in France in 1940; the western desert, Tobruk and Malta; Tunis,
Sicily, Italy and Greece; the Arakan and Kohima in Burma; Normandy, the Low Countries
and Germany in 1944-45. The book has 20 maps, 32 photographs and an index.
Few regiments in the British army played such a prominent and widespread part in the
Second World War as the Durham Light Infantry. This is the full official account of the 8th
battalion of the regiments role in the conflict in which the DLI in general, and the 8th
battalion in particular, more than upheld its long and proud traditions : in the words of the
foreword to this book by Lt.Gen. Sir Brian Horrocks, who had the 8th DLI under his
command both in North Africa and in Europe : Every man that served in this great battalion
can say to himself with pride, I did more than my share to win the war.
The 8th DLI were part of the BEF sent to France in 1939. As such they withstood the
onslaught of the German Blitzkrieg in May 1940, taking part in the British counter-strike at
Arras and the retreat to Dunkirk. They were soon in action again, this time at Gazala in North
Africa where they were again attacked by German forces under Rommel. The 8th DLI
formed part of the victorious offensive at El Alamein and fought through to the dour slogging
match to break the Mareth Line. Subsequently, they took part in the invasion of Sicily; DDay, and the battles of Gheel and Nijmegen in Holland. This book, as Horrocks says is a
First class battalion history written by two former battalion officers. It comes complete with
appendices listing Rolls of honour and awards, along with some 20 photographs and fourteen
maps.
Ian English was a gallant officer of the 8th Battalion, Durham Light Infanry, winning an MC
and Bar in the desert war after fighting in France in 1940. He was taken prisoner by the
Germans after the battle of Mareth in March 1943. This book recounts his experiences after
escaping from a Prisoner of War camp in Italy in the chaos that followed Italys capitulation
and the subsequent German occupation of the north and centre of the country in September
1943. Along with many other Allied officers, English took advantage of the chaos to escape
from captivity, and, as his sub-title modestly puts it to walk to freedom. He admits that he
owed that freedom to the help and hospitality of many ordinary Italians who aided him along
his way. This is an exciting narrative of escape and evasion that should appeal to anyone
interested in escape literature.
Full history of the DLI up to the Great War. Accounts of the part regiment played in the
Peninsular, Crimean, New Zealand and Boer wars. With ten illustrations and twelve
appendices giving rolls of officers etc.

The Durham Light Infantry is deservedly celebrated as one of the most distinguished
regiments in the British Army, and this history does full justice to their long, honourable and
action-packed story, from their 18th century origins down to their participation in the Korean
War in the early 1950s. The regiment arose from various militias and volunteer units
recruited in the Durham area in the mid-18th century. Its first service came in the Seven
Years War with France, and it was stationed in the West Indies for much of the later years
of the century.
In the Napoleonic Wars, the DLI took part in the Walcheren expedition and the Peninsular
War where its battle honours included Salamanca, Vitoria, the Nivelle and Orthez. In the mid
-19th century, the DLI saw combat in the Crtmea at the battles of the Alma, Balaclava and
Inkerman and the siege of Sebastopol. After serrvice in Burma, it was stationed in India and
participated in many campaigns - including the Indian Mutiny - and also took part in the
Maori Wars in New Zealand of the 1860s. The DLI was in the Sudan in the 1880s and the
Boer War of 1899-1902. In the Great War it formed part of the BEF from the outset, fighting
on the Aisne in September 1914 and in 1915 at the second battle of Ypres and Loos. It fought
through the Somme offensive in 1916, where its battle honours included Bazentin, Pozieres,
Delville Wood, Flers, Courcelette, Morval, Lesboefs and Gueuducourt. In 1917 it fought at
Arrras and the Scarpe; and at Messines, Passchendaele and Cambrai. In 1918 the DLI ...For
Many military historians hold that Napoleons penultimate campaign, his dogged 1814
defence of France, as he beat a fighting retreat towards Paris, showed the old master at his
very best. Grossly outnumbered by the allied armies that were snapping at his heels,
employing young and inexperienced conscripts after the destruction of his old armies in
Russia and Prussia, the Emperor nevertheless put up an impressive performance, fighting on
average a battle or skirmish every two days, and winning many of them. This classic account
of the campaign, one of a two -volume set that concludes with the Waterloo campaign of
1815, gives a blow by blow account from the opening of the year, through Napoleons
fighting retreat through Champagne and the battles of Craonne, Laon, Arcis, FereChampenoise and St Dizier - Napoleons last victory. Finally, the last act encompasses the
Allied capture of Paris, the defection of the brilliant but corrupt Marshal Marmont, and
Napoleons abdication at Fontainebleau. However, as Volume Two of this sweeping history
relates, this greatest of all soldiers still had some surprises up his greatcoat sleeve. Illustrated
with detailed battle maps, this is a must for all Napoleonic fans.
The Waterloo campaign, short as it was, was epic in its scope, encompassing as it did the
downfall of the great Napoleon; the one and only clash between Bonaparte and Wellington,
and the inauguration of a century ( give or take short localised wars) of general European
peace. And Waterloo has left plenty of material for historians to argue over: why did
Wellington not aid his Prussian ally Blucher at Ligny? Why did Marshal Ney do nothing on
the morning of Quatre- Bras? Why was Napoleon so uncharacteristically lethargic on the eve
of Waterloo? What happened to Marshal Grouchy ( deputed to keep off the Prussians) on the
day of Waterloo? These and many other strategic matters are fully considered by Henry
Houssayed in this second volume of his two-volume classic history of Napoleons
penultimate (1814, France) and ultimate campaigns. Illustrated by finely drawn battle maps,
this is one that will keep Napoleonic addicts arguing for a long time yet.
The battery was formed on 26th August 1914 as a 4-gun 4.7in battery. It went to France in
May 1915 with the 9th (Scottish) Division which it left within a few days to join H.A.
Reserve and went into action near Armentieres. Subsequently it joined 16th H.A.Brigade and
in January 1917 it was re-equipped with 60 pdrs.. This account is based on the Battery Log
but the record is not complete in detail prior to 27th May 1918 a great deal of the necessary
information having been lost due to enemy action. Details that are there include the dates of
movements with locations from arrival in France to the Armistice; list of Honours and
Awards; Roll of Honour with date, place and, in many cases cause of death; battle casualties
from 27th May 1917; record of officers who served with the battery in France, and finally the
names and (most unusual) home addresses of NCOs and Men. This book is not listed in
Whites Bibliography.

The 3rd Mountain Battery began life in 1759 as Captain T.Smiths Company, 3rd Battalion
Royal Artillery. The opening pages of the narrative describe the dress, equipment and
establishment noting that every man had his hair combed back, tied in a club three-quarters
of a yard long with a broad black ribbon and well powdered with white. After a few
designation changes, described in the narrative, the units title became No 3 Mountain
Battery in 1889, the oldest mountain battery in the Royal Artillery by virtue of being the first
to be equipped as one. This record goes from 1759 to 1908 and during that time the battery
certainly saw plenty of action from the American War of Independence to Corunna to the
Crimea and then, for thirty years (1878-1908) in India/Burma, in India mainly on the NW
Frontier: Kabul, relief of Kandahar, Zhob Valley Field Force, Burma, Sikkim, Miranzai,
Isazai, Chitral, Mohmand, Tirah. The last twenty pages contain the names of all the officers
who served with the battery during the 150 years covered in the book, when they served and
the expeditions or campaigns they were in with any medals.
This unit was raised at Dera Ghazi Khan (India) on 18th May 1849 as 2nd Punjab Light Field
Battery becoming in 1851 No3 Punjab Horse Light Field Battery, Punjab Frontier Force
(PFF). After many changes of designation it became in the 1903 Indian Army reorganisation
(under Kitchener) No 22 (Derajat) Mountain Battery (Frontier Force) and finally, in August
1920, it got the designation that forms the title of this book. This record spans seventy-one
years and it is set out in diary form with a marginal note alongside each entry giving a sort of
heading to the event described in the accompanying text, thus the marginal note against the
paragraph recording operations with the Hazara Field Force reads: 1st Black Mountain
Expedition (Hazara), 1888. The entries cover every aspect of the Batterys service, noting
even individual officers (including the Indian Viceroy Commissioned Officers) reporting for
duty, going on leave, being promoted, leaving the Battery and why and of course any
casualty details. From December 1916 to December 1918 the Battery was engaged in
operations in German and Portuguese East Africa and during this period the marginal notes
consist of the dates of the actions being described. There is a list of expeditions and
campaigns in which the Battery took part since its formation, a list of medals and clasps
awarded over the same period and a summary of Casualties and Awards during the period the
Battery was on active service 1916-1918.
At the outbreak of war the Hampshire (Hants) Battery RHA, a Territorial unit, was stationed
in Southampton, becoming 1/1st Hants when a second line unit was formed (2/1st Hants),
also with HQ in Southampton. In January 1916 the Battery joined with two other Territorial
batteries RHA, Essex and West Riding, to form 1/5th Lowland Brigade RFA in Leicester.
The brigades 13 pdrs were exchanged for 18 pdrs and in March it sailed for Egypt where it
joined the 52nd (Lowland) Division which had returned from Gallipoli. In May 1916 the
Brigade was re-designated 263rd Battery RFA with 1/1st Hants becoming A Battery. It
served with the division on the Suez Canal and at the Battle of Romani in the Sinai campaign
and in the advance into Palestine and at First and Second Battles of Gaza, March/April 1917.
In July the Brigade was withdrawn from the 52nd Division, re-organised as a Royal Horse
Artillery brigade with 1/1st Hants, 1/1st Berks and 1/1st Leicester Batteries, re-equipped with
13 pdrs, re-designated XX Brigade RHA, and transferred to the Yeomanry Mounted Division
which had just been formed in Palestine. In April 1918 the division was reorganized,
Indianized and named 1st Mounted Division and in July, in a further change, it became the
4th Cavalry Division. Throughout these designation changes the artillery remained intact and
fought with the division to the end in Palestine.
The narrative describing the Batterys experiences is based on the War Diary and on
contributions from those who served with it. The story is a bit thin i...For more information
A Regular cavalry regiment and a Territorial Yeomanry regiment make strange bedfellows in
a combined regimental history, but this is the work of an officer who commanded both during
the war and felt the need to make a record of the incidents which united the Regiments in
close friendship during the Great War. Whitmore was a Territorial officer, not a Regular, and
his appointment to command a regular cavalry regiment must have been a unique one; there
were only twenty-five cavalry of the line regiments on the Western Front and competition
for command among career officers would have been keen. Furthermore he was
recommended to the command of the 10th Hussars by the Cavalry Corps commander, LieutGeneral Sir Charles Kavanagh, who was himself a former CO of the Regiment. The Hussars
landed at Ostend in October 1914, the Essex at Havre on 1 December 1914 and both
regiments served in 8th Cavalry Brigade, 3rd Cavalry Division, till April 1918 when the
Essex were broken up, at which point Whitmore, who had been CO of the Essex since
November 1915, was posted to command 10th Hussars where he remained till March 1919.
This account is not in the form of a personal memoir but rather that of an impersonal,
wartime regimental history in which the activities of both regiments are fused into the one
narrative set out in chronological order. There is a wealth of information in the appendices
which are arranged for each Regiment separately: Diary of movements; Roll of officers who

This two-volume history of the Royal Artillery is one of the earliest published on that subject,
and covers the period from its formation in 1716 to Waterloo, a hundred years of history.
Volume I takes the story of the Regiment from 1716 to the end of the American War of
Independence and the Peace Treaty of 1783. The first few chapters describe the situation
regarding artillery before the Regiment came into existence, when all Artillery details came
under the care and superintendence of the Masters-General of the Ordnance and the
Honourable Board of Ordnance. This Board, apparently, invariably interfered with the duties
of the Artillery and no amount of individual experience, no success, no distance from
England, could save unhappy artillerymen from perpetual worry and incessant legislation.
Apart from telling the story of the campaigns and battles in which the Regiment took part
during its first seventy or so years of its existence, principally the Seven Years War, the Siege
of Gibraltar and the American War of Independence, this volume contains plenty of
domestic detail including the development and growth of the Artillery, changes of
organization, changes in establishments, pay and conditions of service, officer personalities,
commanders and the foundation of the Royal Military Academy. The author was
Superintendent of the Royal Artillery Regimental Records and was well placed to write a
very full and interesting account of the Gunners during the first hundred years of their
existence.
This volume takes the history of the Regiment to Waterloo and the defeat of Napoleon, and in
connection with performance of the Artillery in that battle the author devotes an Appendix to
a letter from Wellington to Lord Mulgrave, then Master-General of the Ordnance, in which
he wrote: To tell you the truth, I was not very well pleased with the Artillery in the Battle of
Waterloo and when the French cavalry charged they ran off the field entirely, taking with
them limbers, ammunition and everything. Major Duncan angrily refutes, in detail, the
accuracy of such a statement, based as it was on false reports, implying the Iron Duke was
talking through his cocked hat. This makes a lively conclusion to a most entertaining account
of a further thirty-two years in the history of the Gunners.
Operations described include the ill-fated expedition against the French in Flanders, led by
the Duke of York, but the main focus is on the Napoleonic Wars - the campaign in S
America, the Walcheren campaign, a malaria-infested island where battle casualties
amounted to a little over 200 while thousands died of sickness, and the Peninsular War
culminating in the Battle of Waterloo. Descriptions include detailed order of battle of artillery
units involved with strengths and names of all the officers in each unit. But just as impressive
is the wealth of information on the continuing development of the Regiment, beginning with
the raising of the Royal Horse Artillery in January 1793. We read all about equipment, dress,
pay, in fact there is a sta...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com
This Diary was written actually during the war by a young soldier who went out in 1914 with
the London Regiment. In 1915 he was gazetted to a regular battalion of a famous Scottish
regiment, serving with them during the battles of Loos and of the Somme.He was wounded
and decorated; and at the end of 1916 was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps, with whom
he saw out the War. It is an absorbing narrative, writes author and fellow veteran Henry
Williamson, and there must be tens of thousands of men, like myself, between thirty and
forty years of age, who want to live again in those years, and will be enabled to do so because
of the authentic details and experiences which fill the pages. This is a fragment of the true

ON THE ROAD WITH

WELLINGTON: The Diary of a War
Commissary in the Peninsular
Campaigns
A. L. F. Schaumann
This is the third volume of the official history of the Hampshire Regiment from the end of the
Great War to the mid-1950s. Though covering the units inter-war service in Ireland - where
it was deployed against the IRA - India and Palestine, the bulk of the book concentrates on
the Second World War in which the Hampshires fought in almost every theatre in which
British troops were engaged. The Regiment fielded six battalions and lost more than 2,000
men and officers in fierce fighting stretching from Dunkirk to North Africa, via Malta, Sicily,
Italy, Normandy, Holland, and the end of the war in Germany. Perhaps the regiments hardest
battles came in Italy, where one battalion formed the assualt brigade of the 46th DIvision in
the initial attack on the beaches of Salerno, subsequently taking part in the fighting for Monte
Cassino and the breaching of the Gothic LIne. With a forward by Lt. Gen. Sir Frederick
Boy Browning, and with a full list of the Regiments awards and decorations this is a book
that no serious student of Britains fighting role in the Second Wolrld War will want to be
without.
The remarkable memoirs of August Schaumann capture the life and adventures of a junior
officer in the British Army as he endures the drama and agonies of the fierce struggle in

The author of this diary is an artillery officer who served on the Western Front from 1
September 1915 till his death in action on 31st March 1918, and it is one of the best, ranking
alongside Old Soldiers Never Die and The Journal of Private Fraser. Following two brief
spells in 1914/1915 with the BEF during the first of which he was injured when his horse fell
on him, he arrived in France on 1st September 1915 as OC C Battery, 108 Brigade RFA,
24th Division and before the end of the month he was in the thick of it at Loos. His
description of the scene is graphic. He writes about trying to get his guns forward on roads
jammed with traffic, trying to find the infantry brigade he was supposed to support,
floundering about in the dark under heavy shellfire in an enormous plain of clay having the
consistency of vaseline, devoid of any landmark or feature, covered in shell holes. His own
artillery brigade commander had been killed before the offensive began which left him in
command of all four batteries in what was virtually his first action, and a major offensive at
that. Later he gives a vivd account of the German gas attack at Wulverghem on 30 April
1916, when a mixture of chlorine and phosgene was used causing 338 casualties in the
division. During August and September 1916 his division took part in the bitter fighting for
Delville Wood and Guillemont, and the diary entries for this period provide some of the most
powerfully descriptive writing recorded in any memoirs. There are excellent maps showing
battery positions. He ...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com

Alfred Oliver Pollard (1893-1960) could be looked upon as a British equivalent of Ernst
Junger (Storm of Steel) in that he enjoyed the war, in and out of the trenches; he regarded it
as a great adventure. Even killing brought satisfaction. One of his letters to his mother ends:
Best of spirits and having a good time. By the way, I have killed another Hun. Hurrah! Well,
Cheerio! In another place he writes:My ambition was to be realised. I was to take part in a
real charge. With luck I might bayonet a Hun. He writes in a gungho colloquial style and
his descriptions of the fighting are vivid with all the gory details. There is a touch of Sapper
in his writing; at times It reads like an adventure story from Boys Own Paper but the action
is real enough. He was no shrinking violet when it came to describing his own part in the
action, nor was he averse to quoting from the citations that accompanied his awards - apart
from the VC (Gavrelle, 29th April 1917) he was also awarded the MC and bar and the DCM,
putting him among the most highly decorated. He enlisted in the HAC in 1914 soon after war
was declared and went with the 1st Battalion to France in September 1914; he was
commissioned into the battalion in January 1916. Apart from a spell training Americans in
1918 he was with the battalion throughout the war. He was demobilised in Februar 1919.
This is a most enjoyable book
In 1687 a Royal Warrant was issued for the establishment of an Office of Ordnance and
Train of Artillery in Ireland, which had a staff of only 40 distributed among several garrisons,
but Ireland lacked its own specialist Artillery Corps. Furthermore, down to 1755 no Irishman
whatsoever was allowed to be enlisted for the Army serving in Ireland - a consequence of the
Test Act of 1673, directed against Catholics which, among other things, permitted recruiting
for the Army on the Irish Establishment only from English Protestants. In February 1756 this
was amended to include Protestants from the Province of Ulster. On 1 April 1756 the Train of
Artillery was expanded to a company and further increased in 1760 to four companies and
designated a regiment with the full title The Royal Irish Regiment of Artillery with the Earl
of Kildare as its first Colonel in Chief. By 1800 the Royal Irish Artillery had reached its high
point of twenty Marching Companies and an Invalid Company with a total strength of 2,132
men. After the Act of Union in 1801 the regiment was absorbed into the Royal Regiment of
Artillery as the 7th Battalion RA.
During its forty years as an independent regiment the Royal Irish Artillery saw its fair share
of action, either as a unit or in supplying volunteers to the Royal Artillery units overseas.
Volunteers fought in RA batteries during the American War of Independence; they were in
action in Flanders in 1794 and in the West Indies in 1795 when yellow fever killed more than
the French: out of 11 officers and 288 o...For more information please visit www.navalmilitary-press.com
This is the first of a 4-volume history of the regiment from its formation in 1689 to the end of
the Great War. The RWF is one of only four out of fifty-one English and Welsh regiments of
infantry of the line that have remained unaffected by disbandments, amalgamations and
redesignations since Cardwells reforms at the end of the nineteenth century. This volume
covers the period 1689 - 1815, the recording of which has been considerably handicapped by
the almost entire absence of letters, diaries or journals of officers who served with the
regiment. Nevertheless the compilers, with the help of contributors named in the introduction,
have, by accuracy of treatment and attention to detail, contrived to give a reliable record of
the deeds of the regiment.
The book is compiled in the form of a running narrative arranged on a year-by-year basis, and
begins with a ten-page chronological summary in which all significant dates (including every
move of the regiment) are listed for each year, beginning with 16 March 1689 when Henry,
Lord Herbert of Cherbury was authorised to raise the Twenty-third [of Foot], and appointed
colonel of the regiment. During the first 126 years of its existence the regiment saw a great
deal of action and a vigorous account has been given of the campaigns in which it took part.
Where it has been possible to illustrate by incident the story has been graphically told. Battle
honours (twenty during the period) also tell the story: Namur, Marlboroughs wars,
Dettingen, Minden, Egypt, Corunna, the capture of the is...For more information please visit
This volume covers the hundred years between the victory of Waterloo and the outbreak of
the Great War, 1816-1914. The book is set out in the same way as the first volume, beginning
with a chronological summary, which includes the dates of every move of the regiment, and
with the narrative providing a running account on a year-by-year basis. On 3rd March 1858,
as a consequence of the Indian Mutiny a second battalion was again formed but this one was
a permanent feature, so when the Cardwell Reforms were implemented in 1881 the RWF was
unaffected, being a two-battalion regiment. From this point on the narrative covers each
battalion separately each year. This time the compilers are better served with personal
memoirs and diaries, especially the Burmese War of 1885-87; the Boxer Rebellion, 1900; the
Black Mountain Expedition, 1891 and the S African War.
The regiment saw action in the Crimea (Alma, Inkerman and Sevastopol), the Indian Mutiny,
Ashanti in 1874, Burma, S Africa and Pekin. Four VCs were won in the Crimea and two in
the Indian Mutiny.
This volume has a number of informative appendices: they include the succession of colonels
with the service record of each officer; a very comprehensive one on regimental Dress and
Equipment, one on firearms used by the regiment from time to time and on medals, on
regimental music, on sport, on the Colours and finally on the history of the unique Flash,

This book is an account of the authors battlefield experiences at Gallipoli and on the
Western Front. Fallon was a pre-war regular (Northumberland Fusiliers) who, when war
broke out, was a staff sergeant instructor at the Australian Royal Military College in
Duntroon. Transferred in some unexplained fashion to the Australian army he took part in the
Gallipoli landings on 25 April 1915, which he describes in gory detail, as he does the rest of
the fighting till he was evacuated in December. Back in the British army he was
commisioned into the Buckingham Battalion (TF) of the O & B LI (145th Bde/48th Division)
with which he fought on the Western Front till badly wounded at the end of 1916. He seems
to go out of his way to make his descriptions of the fighting as bloody as possible, and as for
the Germans, he has a chapter entitled "Hun Beastliness in which he makes unbelievable
statements such as the two examples which follow: It was the nude body of the Mother
Superior. She had been nailed to the door. She had been crucified. In the ruins we brought
out the bodies of four nuns, unspeakably mutilated. Their bodies had been stabbed and
slashed each more than a hundred times. They had gone to martyrdom resisting incredible
brutes. They had fought hard, the blond hair of their assassins clutched in their dead hands.
And again, at Wytschaete:Above the wreck of the skyline trench bayonets stuck up, and on
them were the severed heads, with horrible smiles under their English caps, of twenty of my
men. Referring to German soldiers h...For more information please visit www.naval-militarypress.com
The author sums up the record of his experiences in the Great War in one sentence in the
introduction: five weeks in the firing line, four weeks mourned as dead, and three months a
prisoner of war. Nobbs served in the ranks of the 5th Battalion the London Regiment
(London Rifle Brigade) for some years before the war, then went to Canada where he
obtained a commission in the Queens Own Rifles. He resigned and came home in 1914 and
rejoined the LRB as a captain. At first he was with the second line battalion - 2/5th - and
then transferred to the 3/5th before being posted to the 1/5th in France (169 Brigade/56
Division). He joined the battalion in the first week of August 1916 when it was in rest billets
at St Amand, and moved with it to the Somme on 2 Sep 1916. The first few chapters describe
his early impressions. It was only a week later, on 9 September, that Nobbs was blinded
during an attack on Leuze (Lousy) Wood. A bullet entered his left temple and came out
through the centre of his right eye. This part of the book is very descriptive of fighting Valley of death, Falfemont (Faffemont) Farm and Leuze Wood. His account of lying blinded
in a shell hole while the battle went on around him, his being found and taken prisoner, his
treatment is very moving and vivid. The final part deals with his experience in a hospital in
Hanover and a PW camp in Osnabruck. His next of kin had been notified he had been killed
in action, had received a telegram of sympathy from the Palace and his name had appeared in
the Obituaries and his ...For more information please visit www.naval-military-press.com

SOMME BATTLE STORIES
Recorded by Capt A.J.Dawson
Ruhleben was an Internment Camp in Germany for British internees, and the first part of this
book contains letters from one of the prisoners (referred to as Richard Roe) to his mother.
He was an Oxford undergraduate who was in Hamburg when war broke out, He was unable
to get away before the shutters descended and was interned in Ruhleben. The second part is
based on the Camp journal called "In Ruhleben Camp - a little periodical of 48 pages,
illustrated by Stanley Grimm, an inmate. Between them we have a most interesting account
of life in the camp, which, because of the many branches of study including a laboratory, all
organised by the internees, was referred to by the visiting Bishop of Bury (the only
authorised visitor) as The University of Ruhleben. Illustrations include a plan of the camp
and of one of the barracks as well as picturing various activities.Among the internees was Sir
Timothy Eden, held there from 1914 to 1916, and this account is prefixed by a letter in which
he states the case for a wholesale exchange of civilian prisoners.
This book consists of a collection of stories narrating experiences of individuals during the
Somme offensive, recorded and put together by Dawson. All unit identifications and names
of individuals are withheld, printed as a dash or hyphen, such as: These were the words of
Lieut-Col ---, Commanding Officer of the ---th --- ---. IEach story takes a chapter and there

The author was the younger brother of Philip Gibbs, the well-known war correspondent and
himself the author of a number of books on the Great War, particularly the Somme. He writes
the introduction to this book. Gibbs enlisted in the cavalry on 2 Sep 1914 and was posted to
the 9th Lancers in which he served,as a trooper, till the end of 1914. The first part of the book
describes his service in the ranks which included a month with the regiment in France, during
which time he did not see action. He was commissioned into the Royal Artillery on 31st
December 1914 and returned to the UK to learn the arts of gunnery. Although he does not
identify the unit and division to which he was posted, references to embarking for overseas in
June 1915 at Avonmouth clearly identify the 13th (Western) Division. And the fact that he
describes disembarking at Alexandria while the rest of the division went on to Gallipoli,
points to either the 67th or 68th Brigade RFA. These units remained in Egypt till October
1915 when they sailed for Salonika to join the 10th (Irish )Division. After a years
campaigning he was medically evacuated back to the UK. All this part of his service is
described in Part II of the book. The third and last part takes up more than half the book and
covers the Western Front where the author arrived in May 1917. This is where the action
really starts. Gibbs was in an Army Field Artillery (AFA) Brigade, formations created in
early 1917 to provide Army Commanders with additional artillery support, and they in turn

This book consists of a series of letters, forty-four of them of varying length, written to
relatives or friends, describing and commenting on the writers experiences as they occurred,
without any thought of his remarks going beyond the family circle. The author of the
foreword, identified only be the initials R.M.F, persuaded Maj Bidder to let him submit them
for publication. He agreed, subject to the proviso that nothing should be altered nor anything
added in the way of embellishment for the sake of effect. Some necessary cuts have been
made but in the main they are reproduced here exactly as written, the first on 5th August
1914, the last but one on 9 Sep 1917 at X Corps HQ. The final letter is dated 12th November
1918. They make a most interesting and worthwhile read.
Harold Francis Bidder was born on 26 December 1875, was granted a commission in the 3rd
(Militia) Battalion, R Sussex, served in S Africa and called up from the Reserve on 4th
August 1914. He arrived in France on 21st December 1914 and was posted to "a strange
regiment - 1st Battalion S Staffs. After two months he was appointed OC 22nd Brigade MG
Company, then X Corps MG officer and finally CO 1st MG Bn, and it is in his capacity as a
MG company OC that these memoirs are particularly interesting, though at one point during
the Battle of Loos (Hulluch) he was told to go and take command of a battalion [2nd
Bedfords] whose CO [Maj J.C. Monteith] had just been killed.
This book provides a marvellous insight into the life and role of a (RC) chaplain on the
Western Front. The author was known, in the 47th Division, by the nickname of "Happy
Dayson account of his unquenchable optimism. The introduction, written by Lt R.C.
Feilding, Coldstream Guards, a battalion CO in the 47th Division and author of War Letters
to a Wife, writes: "He seemed to live in a world of sunshine, destitute of shadows. He carried
out his duties as he faced the sordid horrors of the battlefield with a child-like simplicity,
inspiring the living, and comforting with his faith the parting moments of many a dying
soldier. Fr Benedict arrived in France in May 1917 and was attached to 1/5th DW in the
49th Division, subsequently moving to the 47th Division He went right through to the
Armistice. His descriptions of his work and of the battlefields where his duties called him are
vivid and, at times, very moving, particularly when he attended the execution of a young
soldier, who can now be identified as Pte P.Murphy, 47 Bn, MG Corps, shot on 12 Sep 1918.

This is another outstanding contribution to the bibliography of the Great War and to the part
played by chaplains. It follows the fortunes of the 1st Canadian Division from the earliest
days at Valcartier where men of the Canadian Expeditionary Force first assembled, through
days of preparation in the UK, to the Western Front where the division arrived in February
1915, the first non-regular division to join the BEF. This record is as good as an official
divisional history, though lacking illustrations and maps, and fills a void, since none of the
four Canadian divisions that fought on the Western Front left a history of their doings. Canon
Scotts descriptions of the life of the division, in and out of the line, present a wonderful
account of a division at war. His only son was killed on the Somme, and his account of his
search and discovery of his body makes moving reading. He lies buried in Bapaume Post
Cemetery, just outside Albert of the road to Bapaume. This is a well recommended book, an
outstanding history and account of the work of a chaplain in the field.

The principal ski-mountaineering book in English by a Swiss academic who was outstanding
among the pioneers. The author outlines a series of possible ski-routes, each accompanied by
a map, for example the Bernese Oberland from end to end and across the Pennine Alps on
ski by the high level route. Little more than ten years have elapsed since men with a
knowledge of summer mountaineering began to explore the Alps in winter. Not only are the
successes, which have almost invariably attended the winter exploration of theSwiss icefields, full of instruction for the novice, but also the accidents and misfortunes which sad to
say, ended in loss of life or limb, have conveyed useful lessons.

Historians still debate the causes of the Indian Mutiny. This history, drawn from a formidible
array of sources, should add ammunition to the controversy. It covers the whole history of the
force that rebelled in 1857 - the Bengal Army- from the raising of the first prototype units by
the East India Company in the 17th century, down to the height of the British Raj in the
1890s, and includes many half forgotten campaigns and actions. It was compiled as a
continuous narrative by a serving officer in the Indian Army, Lieut. F.G. Cardew, before
being revised and edited in the Military department of the Government of India by Mr. G.
W. de Rhe-Phlipe. The book is particularly valuable as a source for the Bengal Artillery.
Provides much valuable background information on the organization of and disaffection in
the Bengal Army. Includes an index, a glossary of Indian terms and words, and a
Chronology of Indian army corps.

helpful to British medal collectors for its information on these many small campaigns.
Colonel Lionel James (b 1871).English War Correspondent.Entering journalism, he became

Reuters correspondent in the Chitral Campaign 1894-95, and was Times correspondent in
South Africa 1899-1901. He acted in the same capacity in other campaigns and during the
Great War served in France and Italy. He was highly critical of aspects of the campaign the
chaotic transport forced to travel over appalling ground in un-mapped country, vulnerable to
sharp-shooting tribesmen who were skilled in guerrilla tactics and against which screw-guns
and Maxims were ineffective. It remains one of the most vivid accounts of the campaign.In
his Preface, James blames the lack of success of the Expedition on the Indian Government
who chose to equip the force with inefficient Transport.

The author of this book was a subaltern in 76th Battery, X Brigade, RFA, 6th (Poona)
Division, commanded by Maj-Gen Sir Charles Townshend. Mousley joined as a
reinforcement from India at Ctesiphon in November 1915, which was the limit of the British
advance up the Tigris to Baghdad. Unable to progress further the division retreated to Kut-alAmara, where it was besieged for nearly five months and eventually forced into surrender on
29th April 1916 through starvation and disease. Repeated attempts by the Tigris Corps to
break through and relieve the garrison had failed - at a cost of 23,000 casualties. This was
probably the greatest humiliation inflicted on the British army during the war. Close on
12,000 men, British and Indian soldiers and followers went into captivity where over 4,000
died, many under appalling conditions.
The first of the three parts into which the book is divided covers the retreat from Ctesiphon to
Kut and the five-month siege, painting a graphic picture of the hardships involved. All the
animals were slaughtered for food, and in a moving paragraph he describes the death of his
own charger, which he could not bring himself to watch. He describes the brutality of the
Turkish troops when they entered Kut, singling out the Kurdish rank and file as "the most
barbarous savages in this country. It was the Kurds who, five or six years previously, had
unsuccessfully rebelled against the Turkish authorities, refusing to serve in the army. Part II

The Campaign of France - Napoleons fighting retreat across his own country in 1814 after
his disastrous defeat at Leipzig - was one of the most amazing episodes in the great soldiers
stellar career. With his back to the wall, and facing a formidible coalition of his Russian,
Prussian and Austrian enemies, the wily Corsican flought tenaciously every step of the way.
Sometimes his exhausted, outnumbered and severely depleted army was called on to fight a
battle every two days. But despite French ciourage and rthe Emperors resourcefulness there
could be only one outcome: Napoleon was forced back to Paris where he was compelled to
abdicate. The long, slogging campaign is here narrated from the viewpoint of a Russian
officer who was an aide-de-camp to Tsar Alexander I and had a grandstand view of the
action. Occasionally critical of Russias allies, the book offers a detailed contemporary
account of a campaign perhaps less familiar than other Napoleonic setpieces.
The brief but bloody campaign in Flanders that brought a final end to Napoleons glittering
military career and immortalised that of Wellington, continues to fascinate students of
military history. The story of the campaign and its bloody culmination on the field of
Waterloo as the armies of Europes three major powers struggled for mastery, is an epic one

The official history of the Anglo-Zulu Wars, compiled by the Intelligence Branch of the the
then War Office for publication immediately after the campaign. It is the definitive account
fo the Zulu Wars from the British standpoint and it has formed the basis of all subsequent
serious works on the campaign. The narrative fully recounts through Military Intelligence
sources the conduct of and background to the campaign - in terms of both military actions
and political events. Of particular importance are the detailed accounts of the battles of
Islandhlwana and Rorkes Drift - the first of which was the worst defeat inflicted on a British
force by a native army, whose consequences would lead to the downfall of Disraelis
government; and the second of which resulted in the award of eleven Victoria Crosses, the
most ever gained in a single action.

1916, the division arrived in France where the battalion served until November 1917, when
they were sent to Italy. In March 1918 they returned to France where the battalion remained
for the rest of the war. The authors have made every effort to be accurate in their account, but
the main aim has been to provide a narrative, not so much for the general reader as for the
members of the Battalion Association and their friends. In pursuit of this aim they have
included plenty of yarns using the actual words of the individual narrator which, they
believe, will prove the best part of the volume. In fact this is the most anecdotal unit history
I have yet come across. Reading it today, some ninety years later, it is clear that these
personal contributions add a great deal to the story, bringing a feeling of reality to the scenes
being described. There are plenty of references to individuals, references which are always
welcome in what amounts to a family history, telling the day-to-day story of a close knit
battalion. There is no doubt it will have brought to mind those who died and will have helped
to recall incidents, localities, friendships and dangers shared. The division was one selected
for the Army of Occupation in Germany and the battalion ended its war service on ...For
This volume is one of a series entitled Campaigns and their Lessons . The author, C.E.
Calwell (1859-1928) had retired as a colonel five years before the outbreak of war. He was
recalled, promoted to Temp Major-General and appointed Director of Military Operations
(DMO) in place of Henry Wilson; he held the post till the end of 1915 and was then sent on
liaison missions to Russia. He was a well-known military historian, author of several books
including the biographies of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson and Lieutenant-General Sir
Stanley Maude. The author points out that he is not setting out to furnish a history of the
campaign but his principle concern is to study the broad strategical aspects of it and certain of
the tactics employed that throw light on the art of conducting amphibious warfare. Thus, the
naval attempt to force the straits without military cooperation is treated in some detail.
Likewise, the famous landing on the Peninsula on 25th April 1915 is dealt with fairly
exhaustively, as is the successful evacuation. Some of the principal battles, battles that
involved furious fighting causing heavy losses on both sides, are only touched on briefly
because there are no special lessons to be learned. In fact this work is designed to be a study
of certain phases of the campaign, not a formal history, and comments and deductions are
scattered about in the text.

At the end of August 1914 the author applied for a commision in the Yeomanry and in
September was gazetted in the newly formed 2/1 Shropshire Yeomanry. He spent the next
two years in England training as a cavalryman and a cyclist, a period he sketches over lightly
in the first two chapters. Active service began towards the end of 1916 when he went with a
draft to France where he was posted to the 6th Battalion Kings Shropshire Light Infantry
(KSLI) and had to accustom himself to being an infantryman. His battalion was in 60th
Brigade, 20th (Light) Division and he served with it till the eve of the German 1918
offensive, going home on leave on 20th March! He never returned to the battlefield, probably
just as well because, as he himself admits, after 18 months his nerves were stretched to
breaking point. The main event during his first few months in France was the German
withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line in early 1917 and the British pursuit in which his
battalion was involved. His account of the two big battles in which he was involved,
Langemarck (16th-18th August 1917) and Cambrai, the first mass tank assault, in the
following November makes interesting reading. As he says, he avoided as much as possible,
and it wasnt always possible, the gruesome and disgusting side of the war leaving all that
to war novels. The narrative takes in the training and preparation for both battles and provides
a good description of the fighting. Today there are two memorials to the 20th (Light)
Division - at Langemarck and at Guillemont,...For more information please visit www.navalmilitary-press.com

German Fleet. Commander Neureuther, in his epilogue, comments that seldom can there
have been so closely knit a body of men as that little company that faced their common fate
within the narrow compass of a submarine. The bonds that united them have outlasted the
years that followed the war. Life in a submarine in those early days was no picnic as these
stories testify. In all there are 25 of them varying in length from 59 pages to as few as two
covering a wide variety of anecdotes. One is entitled Sir Roger Casements last voyage,
describing briefly U 19s operation to put him ashore in Tralee Bay in April 1916; less than
four months later he was captured and hanged.
The author was clearly quite exercised at the state of the Royal Regiment when he put pen to
paper, setting out all that he saw wrong with it and what was needed to put it right. It appears
that the Artillery did not get its fair share of the overall military cake and its officers were
regarded almost as second class citizens. He points out that the artillery was in a far stronger
position in terms of its importance in the army, of numbers of guns and their employment in
Marlboroughs time than at the time of writing (over one hundred and forty years later). The
book is dedicated to the Prince Regent in the hope that he, as "the harbinger of progress in the
present day will light a few fires in the right places. He sets out to show the tardy progress
of our Artillery compared with that of other nations. He highlights what he regards as three
defects among others: firstly the proportion of Artillery in the Army is inadequate; secondly
promotion is so slow that officers are "quite worn out by the time they get to Colonel and he
writes of "the paralysing decrepitude of worn out frames belonging to the superior officers of
artillery; (it took the author 51 years to reach the rank of major-general), and thirdly the
separation of the Artillery branches of the Ordnance from the rest of the Service does not
bode well for the Army at large. This is a very thorough review of the state of the British

THE MUTINIES IN RAJPOOTANA

Iltudus Thomas Prichard, Bengal Army
1860). SB. vii + 311pp
Order No: 9295
Price: 14.50
The author of this book was an officer in the Bengal Army, the army that mutinied in 1857,
and its scope is contained in the detail that appears on the title page after the main heading,
and that reads as follows: "A Personal Narrative of the Mutiny at Nusseerabad (Nasirabad),
with subsequent residence at Jodhpore, and journey across the desert into Sind, together with
an account of the outbreak at Neemuch, and mutiny of the Jodhpore Legion at Erinpoora, and
attack on Mount Aboo. In the usual high-flown language of the early Victorian age the
author explains the reason for writing this account, and that is that as far as he is aware that,
whereas the history of the outbreak in almost every other part of India and every station has
appeared in print, no narrative has so far been written of the mutinies in Rajpootana. This
book is to provide that missing link and it is a remarkable story. Another reason for writing it
is to provide a personal account that may be referred to by historians in the distant future
when they take on the task of writing a real history of the mutiny, its origins and outcome.
This massive work of some 960 pages in all is the result of the most painstaking research and
dedication and must represent one of the most valuable sources of reference for any military
historian, most especially the regimental historian, researching the army, its regiments and

Commission and Allied governments in tracing ex-enemy nationals suspected of committing
war crimes or atrocities in Europe. The organisation was originally set up by the Supreme
Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) in the spring of 1945. Operated by British
and American military personnel with the assistance of civilian administrative staff the object
was to provide a pool of information on persons in Allied detention and those still wanted for
interrogation or apprehension in connection with potential war crimes. National governments
were invited to draw on this information and were also encouraged to contribute. To Allied
military investigators the CROWCASS registers became a sort of Nazi Hunter's bible BUT

The period covered by this account extends from the beginning of October 1918 and the
Battle of the Beaurevoir Line to the Armistice, during which time the 38th Division was in V
Corps (Lt Gen Shute) along with 17th, 21st and 33rd Divisions, in Gen Byngs Third Army.
As the final advance proceeded the formation of the Corps for battle, movement and reliefs of
divisions became almost a routine, apart for some special operation, and the divisions fought
in pairs, the 33rd and 38th on the right and 17th and 21st on the left. Thus this very much the
story of the 33rd Division as well as the 38th. The latter was commanded by Maj-Gen T.A.
Cubitt, the former by Maj-Gen R.J.Pinney. The author, a Gunner, commanded the 115th
Brigade of the 38th Division throughout the period covered in this account and after the war
became the Commandant of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, before retiring in
1931. The account is made up of a series of articles from the RA Journal (as the original
pagination indicates), arranged in chapters, each dealing with one or more major battles Beaurevoir, Cambrai, Selle, Sambre etc. The narrative is compiled from the war diaries and
operation orders of the various formations concerned, and from the history of the 38th and
33rd Divisions and 33rd Divisional Artillery, supplemented by notes and experiences of
officers who took part in the operations. Unfortunately there is no contents list nor index to

This is a remarkable publication, a precurser of the Army List, in which every Militia and
Volunteer unit is listed with the names of their officers. The date of publication, 14th October
1805, is precisely one week before the Battle of Trafalgar. The history of the Militia and the
Volunteers goes back several hundred years, before the creation of the regular army in 1660,
when they provided armed forces for the defence of the kingdom as well as men for overseas
campaigns. Once the regular army had come into being they provided a reserve and were,
from time to time, called upon to aid the government during civil unrest or when rioting
broke out. The threat of invasion brought them out in their thousands and the extent of the
response to the threat from Napoleon may be judged from these pages and pages of names of
officers and their units. The list is arranged alphabetically by county, from Abedeen to York
(including the counties of Ireland). In each case the Militia (regiment) is shown first followed
by the Volunteer units, which include every unit, infantry, cavalry, artillery and pioneers, no
matter how small, in each county, and these are listed alphabetically by towns or areas where
they were raised. Each county is paginated separately and begins with page 1.Thus, taking
Esex as an example, we have first three militia regiments: Essex East, West and South,
mustering 92 officers between them, then follow the volunteers, fifty units in all beginning
with Baddow, Barking, Barnstaple and Chafford Cavalry, through Colchester ...For more

The portrait of the author shows a Flight Sergeant in the RAF, decorated with the Military
Medal, but he says nothing about his service background nor his unit nor how he came to be
in Kut when it was captured by the Turks after a five month siege. There is one clue when he
refers to "a man of my own battery which would indicate he was in the Royal Artillery at the
time. It might have been RHA, RFA or RGA since all three branches were in Kut. His
account starts on 30th April 1916, the day after the surrender, while he was lying on the floor
of a mud hut that was graced by the name of No 4 Field Ambulance of the 6th (Poona)
Division. After several weeks of suffering from acute stomach trouble he had collapsed. But
his suffering then was nothing to what it would be in captivity. In The Secrets of A Kuttite
(described elsewhere in this list) we learned how the officers fared, now we read of the
dreadful treatment handed out to the other ranks by the Turks. There are many memoirs of

Georg Bucher went right through the war with one break, due to a head wound, and this is his
personal account, his record of those four grim years. He had five close friends of whom
three were veterans like himself and one by one they died, the last, Riedel by name, crushed
by a tank in one of the last battles of the war; of that band of brothers only Bucher lived to
tell the tale. His story takes him to nearly every part of the Western Front - the Marne, Ypres,
Notre Dame de Lorette, the Vosges, Verdun, the Somme, Champagne, Chemin des Dames,
Flanders again, the March 1918 offensive, the battles of May 1918, the Marne again, and
finally the retreat and collapse of the German armys resistance. To have gone through all
that and come out of it alive was some feat of endurance helped, no doubt, in no little way by
Lady Luck. He does not spare us the horrors of the trenches - water, lice and rats and the
savage hand-to-hand fighting. He expresses admiration for the furious, superhuman courage
of those English Tommies, but ferocity and hatred are reserved for the French, as described
when they took revenge on the Senegalese who, under the influence of absinthe (so Bucher
alleges), mutilated some of his company taken prisoner.There is no lack of action in this
exciting and absorbing tale of war on the Western Front as seen from German eyes.

THE TANK CORPS BOOK OF

HONOUR
This is a work of fiction whose central character is a Hans Volkenhorn, eighteen years old
when the story begins and an officer candidate, or Fahnenjunker. In the German army,
recruitment for the Officer Corps was based on commissioning young men who joined the
ranks as officer candidates (Fahnenjunkers) or cadets from the Cadet Corps. After a period of
service as a private soldier, though with some privileges over his fellow privates, the
Fahnenjunker was sent on a course for potential officers and if successful he was
commissioned as a Fahnrich (ensign) with the right to wear the coveted officers sword knot.
This novel is unusual for a German work of fiction on the Great War in that it eschews
scenes of gratuitous brutality and blood and gore and yet the descriptions of the battlefields
and other scenes where our hero was involved are vivid enough, for which the translator, A.
Featherstonhaugh, must take the credit. Volkenhorn is a sensitive, artistic individual, very
much family-minded, scarcely an adult when his war begins (in the summer of 1917 on the
Flanders coast) and not yet twenty when his war ends in blindness. He was a rifleman in an
infantry battalion but soon transferred to the MG company. Back home he has a girl friend,
Annaliese, to whom he is constantly writing letters and to whom his thoughts are constantly
turning. He has much to say about his fellow Junkers whose friendships were all-important
to him, and yet admitting his detestation of one of them for his filthy and smutty yarns,

The Seventh Somersets were a typical British line battalion of a typical county infantry
regiment in the Second World War. What that meant in practice is described by the military
historian and soldier Brigadier H. Essame, who saw the Somersets in hot action as they
fought their way from the Normandy beaches to the banks of the river Elbe in a defeated and
shattered Germany. No finer soldiers than the 7th Somerset Light Infantry ever left England
and fought their way acorss the continent to final victory. They won their battles because at
every level they were better men than the finest troops of the German Army, because they
had greater courage and greater skill. There was no danger that they would not face, no
hardship which they would not endure, no risk they would not take. May those who come
after them be worthy of their sacrifice.
Landing in France in late June 1944, the 7th Somersets fought their way out of Normandy
and through Belgium and Holland that summer. During the winter war of 1944/45 they
helped turn the Siegfried Line and pushed across the north German plain from the Rhine to
the Elbe. This is the story of the last, bitter months of the war in Europe seen from the ground
up, with a Roll of Honour plus decorations and awards.

their divisional commander, the 4th Somersets Never had a failure and never lost an inch of

Unusually for an official history of this kind, the book has no single author, but includes

Mount PIncon in the Normandy campaign; the heavily contested crossing of the RIver Seine,
the taking out of the ancient German town of Cleve, and finally the taking of the north

This is the first of a series of six volumes containing records of expeditions against frontier
tribes on all the frontiers of India, and of operations embarked upon overseas by the
Government of India, involving troops of the Indian Army and British troops stationed in
India at the relevant time.They incorporate the work compiled in 1873 by Col W.H.Paget
(Revised in 1884 by Lieut A.H. Mason RE) describing expeditions against the North-West
Frontier Tribes, authorised by the Punjab Government, as "a valuable guide to those who
might have future dealings with these turbulent neighbours. It was with this warfare in mind
that Kipling wrote those lines, addressed to The Young British Soldier:
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
An the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle an blow out your brains,
An go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Each volume deals with a distinct geographical division, laid out in the introduction of this
volume which goes on to describe the terrain and the differing tribesman, their characteristics
and their worth as fighting men. Operations described in this volume include the expedition
to Gilgit, Hunza and Nagir in1891 led by Lt Col Durand in which three VCs were awarded to
officers of the Indian Army; the siege of Chitral in in March/April 1895 which a small force
of Indian troops under Brevet Major Townshend held out against a large force of tribesmen

This volume opens with a description of the Afridi tribe, tthe terrain in which they lived ,
their fighting qualities, character and customs, which included skill in stealing rifles (among
other things). Troops on the Frontier ofen slept with a chain through the trigger guard
attached to thei wrists, or slept on thei rifles. Ther term Afridi covers eight clans,and seven of
them are dealt with in the book.. According to this account ruthless, cowardly robbery and
cold-blooded, treacherous murder were to an Afridi the salt of life. Another source refers to
them as a most avaricious race, desperately fond of money with a sense of loyalty that
depended on the how much was in it for them.. Characteristics like that, combilned with an
undoubted fighting ability made for a treacherous though formidable foe, especially in their
mountainous country. No wonder we had trouble with them! The narrative describes the
background to and conduct of a series of expeditions against the various clans, in eac h case
describing the strength of the column, the units involved and the name of the commander and
the outc ome of the expedition. The other tribes such as the Orakzai, Zaimukht, Wazirs etc
are covered in the same way, descriptions of the tribesmen, ofthe terrain in which they lived
and of the expeditions sent against them.The period covered in this volume is from 1855
operations against the Afridis to the Kabul Khel expedition of 1902.

Baluchistan today lies in Pakistan with Afghanistan to the north, Iran to the west, India the
east and the Arabian Sea on the south. The two main cities are Quetta up on the Afghan
frontier, and Karachi the port on the Arabian sea. This volume, however, begins with an
introduction to the Baluchistan of some three hundred years ago, describing its geography, its
peoples (tribes) and early history including the acquisition by the British of a territory
considerably larger than the British Isles. The narrative then takes us through the history of
the country and it s relations with the British, mainly actions by hostile tribes and our reacting
to them by sending punitive expeditions to deal with them. An example of one of these was
the Zhob Valley Expedition of 1884 on which we sent a mixed force of artillery, cavalry and
infantry amounting to some 5,000 men. The second half of the book is taken up with an
account of the First Afghan War which ran from 1838 to 1842, largely, if not entirely the
fault of the Governor General (the title later was changed to Viceroy) Lord Auckland who
decided to replace the ruler of Afghanistan, Dost Mohammed with a puppet king. Shah Shuja,
which led to a large scale British invasion of the country. The British met with disaster in
which some 4000 soldiers and 12,000 followers perished, only one man escaping, Dr Brydon.
There is a well-known painting by Lady Butler of Brydon arriving at the garrison of
Jalalabad, an exhausted survivor.
This interesting volume gives an account of operations against various countries bordering
India,, in each case beginning with a description of the country and its people, an outline of
its history, the size of any army it may have had, first contacts wih the British and the reason
for hostilities. We begin with. the war with Nepal, 1814-15.. The Nepalese had been laying
claim to certain areas on the borders withIndia , to which they had no right, and even sending
in troops to occupy them. The British response was to put into the field a force of some
20.000 made up into four divisions each operating in a different area . The fortunes of each in
the fighting are described and the comment is made that of the four divisions with which the
campaign started the operations of three were total failures. But the war resulted in that
friendship with Britain that began even before the it was over with the raising of the first
Gurkha regiment (the Malaun Regiment) in 1815. The story of the war with Nepal is
followed by an account of expeditions against Sikkim in 1814, 1860, and 1888. in which we
also had problems with the Tibetans. Action against them was taken to secure borders.
Bhutan comes next with an account of its relations with Nepal, China, with Tibet and with
the British. Military action was taken against the Bhutanese on several occasions between
1772, when the East India Company went to the aid of Kuch Behar at the rulers request
when the Bhutanese invaded his country, and 1864. All these are conveniently described in

part dealing with operations against the Chins, Kachins ans Shans.It begins with an overview
of Burma, its boundaries, its people, its climate and early history, and it also discusses causes
of friction with the British government The first war was caused by the Burmese invasion of
Arakan, whose people appealed to Britain for protection, and their invasion of Assam and
Manipur. War was declared on 5th Marc h 1824 and an expedition mounted against Rangoon.
Fighting continued to early 1826 when the Burmse army was defeated and peace signed on
24th February 1826.. Deaths among the 3,586 British rank and file who first landed at
Rangoon, amounted to 3,115 of whom just under 3,000 died of disease. The second Burmese
War began on 2n April 1852 following indignities offered to our representatives in Burma
and a couple of outrageous cases of extortion. Rangoon was taken in three days but fighting
went on till February 1853 . But this was followed by a months operations against Dacoits
which cost the British nearly 250 casualties of whom over a hundred died of cholera, The
account of the tird Burmese War is preceded by a lengthy description of the political and
commercial relation between British India and Upper Burma from 1853 to 1880. The King of

The Abors were an Assam tribe inhabiting a tract of hill country on the north-east frontier of
India, first visited by the English in 1826. Much of the area was terra incognita and problems
arose connected with the Indo-Chinese and Indo-Tibetan borders. It was the murder, in 1911,
by the Abors of the British Assistant Political officer, Mr Williamson, and his colleague Dr
Gregorson and nearly all their party of followers while they were touring the Tibetan border
area that was the immediate cause of the war. The punitive expeditionary force was
composed of Indian Army troops (no British units) and operations lasted from October 1911
to April 1912. The narrative begins with an account of the political events leading up to the
expedition, describes the terrain and the tribes and then goes on to relate the murder and
discuss the plans for the expedition which was commanded by Major-General Sir H Bower,
GOC Assam Brigade. There are an unusually high number of appendices (37), partly
explained by the brief preface to the effect that because this was the first miiitary expedition
in the area it has been considered desirable to attach to the history, as appendices, somewhat
full extracts from departmental and other reports referring to details of organization, etc.,
peculiar to the country. But the account of the operations is well suported by more
appendices giving a wealth of detail on all aspects of the Force involved, beginning with
orders for the organization of the Abor Expeditionary Force, issued by the Chief of the

This is the first of a series of six volumes containing records of expeditions against frontier
tribes on all the frontiers of India, and of operations embarked upon overseas by the
Government of India, involving troops of the Indian Army and British troops stationed in
India at the relevant time.They incorporate the work compiled in 1873 by Col W.H.Paget
(Revised in 1884 by Lieut A.H. Mason RE) describing expeditions against the North-West
Frontier Tribes, authorised by the Punjab Government, as "a valuable guide to those who
might have future dealings with these turbulent neighbours. It was with this warfare in mind
that Kipling wrote those lines, addressed to The Young British Soldier:
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
An the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle an blow out your brains,
An go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Each volume deals with a distinct geographical division, laid out in the introduction of this
volume which goes on to describe the terrain and the differing tribesman, their characteristics
and their worth as fighting men. Operations described in this volume include the expedition
to Gilgit, Hunza and Nagir in1891 led by Lt Col Durand in which three VCs were awarded to
officers of the Indian Army; the siege of Chitral in in March/April 1895 which a small force
of Indian troops under Brevet Major Townshend held out against a large force of tribesmen

This volume opens with a description of the Afridi tribe, tthe terrain in which they lived ,
their fighting qualities, character and customs, which included skill in stealing rifles (among
other things). Troops on the Frontier ofen slept with a chain through the trigger guard
attached to thei wrists, or slept on thei rifles. Ther term Afridi covers eight clans,and seven of
them are dealt with in the book.. According to this account ruthless, cowardly robbery and
cold-blooded, treacherous murder were to an Afridi the salt of life. Another source refers to
them as a most avaricious race, desperately fond of money with a sense of loyalty that
depended on the how much was in it for them.. Characteristics like that, combilned with an
undoubted fighting ability made for a treacherous though formidable foe, especially in their
mountainous country. No wonder we had trouble with them! The narrative describes the
background to and conduct of a series of expeditions against the various clans, in eac h case
describing the strength of the column, the units involved and the name of the commander and
the outc ome of the expedition. The other tribes such as the Orakzai, Zaimukht, Wazirs etc
are covered in the same way, descriptions of the tribesmen, ofthe terrain in which they lived
and of the expeditions sent against them.The period covered in this volume is from 1855
operations against the Afridis to the Kabul Khel expedition of 1902.
Baluchistan today lies in Pakistan with Afghanistan to the north, Iran to the west, India the
east and the Arabian Sea on the south. The two main cities are Quetta up on the Afghan
frontier, and Karachi the port on the Arabian sea. This volume, however, begins with an
introduction to the Baluchistan of some three hundred years ago, describing its geography, its
peoples (tribes) and early history including the acquisition by the British of a territory
considerably larger than the British Isles. The narrative then takes us through the history of
the country and it s relations with the British, mainly actions by hostile tribes and our reacting
to them by sending punitive expeditions to deal with them. An example of one of these was
the Zhob Valley Expedition of 1884 on which we sent a mixed force of artillery, cavalry and
infantry amounting to some 5,000 men. The second half of the book is taken up with an
account of the First Afghan War which ran from 1838 to 1842, largely, if not entirely the
fault of the Governor General (the title later was changed to Viceroy) Lord Auckland who
decided to replace the ruler of Afghanistan, Dost Mohammed with a puppet king. Shah Shuja,
which led to a large scale British invasion of the country. The British met with disaster in
which some 4000 soldiers and 12,000 followers perished, only one man escaping, Dr Brydon.
There is a well-known painting by Lady Butler of Brydon arriving at the garrison of
Jalalabad, an exhausted survivor.
his interesting volume gives an account of operations against various countries bordering
India,, in each case beginning with a description of the country and its people, an outline of
its history, the size of any army it may have had, first contacts wih the British and the reason
for hostilities. We begin with. the war with Nepal, 1814-15.. The Nepalese had been laying
claim to certain areas on the borders withIndia , to which they had no right, and even sending
in troops to occupy them. The British response was to put into the field a force of some
20.000 made up into four divisions each operating in a different area . The fortunes of each in
the fighting are described and the comment is made that of the four divisions with which the
campaign started the operations of three were total failures. But the war resulted in that
friendship with Britain that began even before the it was over with the raising of the first
Gurkha regiment (the Malaun Regiment) in 1815. The story of the war with Nepal is
followed by an account of expeditions against Sikkim in 1814, 1860, and 1888. in which we
also had problems with the Tibetans. Action against them was taken to secure borders.
Bhutan comes next with an account of its relations with Nepal, China, with Tibet and with
the British. Military action was taken against the Bhutanese on several occasions between
1772, when the East India Company went to the aid of Kuch Behar at the rulers request
when the Bhutanese invaded his country, and 1864. All these are conveniently described in

This volume is made up in four parts, one part each for the three Burmese Wars and a fourth
part dealing with operations against the Chins, Kachins ans Shans.It begins with an overview
of Burma, its boundaries, its people, its climate and early history, and it also discusses causes
of friction with the British government The first war was caused by the Burmese invasion of
Arakan, whose people appealed to Britain for protection, and their invasion of Assam and
Manipur. War was declared on 5th Marc h 1824 and an expedition mounted against Rangoon.
Fighting continued to early 1826 when the Burmse army was defeated and peace signed on
24th February 1826.. Deaths among the 3,586 British rank and file who first landed at
Rangoon, amounted to 3,115 of whom just under 3,000 died of disease. The second Burmese
War began on 2n April 1852 following indignities offered to our representatives in Burma
and a couple of outrageous cases of extortion. Rangoon was taken in three days but fighting
went on till February 1853 . But this was followed by a months operations against Dacoits
which cost the British nearly 250 casualties of whom over a hundred died of cholera, The
account of the tird Burmese War is preceded by a lengthy description of the political and
commercial relation between British India and Upper Burma from 1853 to 1880. The King of
Burma was displaying anti-British feelings, going so far as to conduct secret negotiations
with the French about rights in Upper Burma. War with Britain began in November 1885

This volume deals principally with the story of the British Signal Service in France. It was
only two years prior to the outbreak of war, in 1912, that the Signal Service was formed as
separate and integral branch of the Royal Engineers. In 1920 it became a Corps in its own
right - the Royal Corps of Signals, taking precedence immediately after the Royal Engineers.
Throughout the chapters of this narrative three main themes can be detected: the evolution of
signal policy, of signal organization, and of signal practice. Several definite phases of the war
as it affected the Signal Service can be identified, and of these the most important are: the
early mobile phase; the stationary (trench warfare) phase of 1915-1917; the retreats of the
spring and early summer of 1918; and the final advance to victory. Each phase reacted on
signal policy, organization, and practice alike though the first was less affected than the other
two. This is a very well written account in which the author has woven together the three
main themes into a continuous narrative, adhering as far as possible to a chronological order
of facts. At the end are a series of personnel and transport establishment tables of various
Signal units, and tables listing signal trades and the number of personnel in each trade present
in various units. In all these tables figures are given for each year of the war demonstrating
clearly the growth of the Service not only in manpower but also in the skills and trades
required. Finally, tnere are a number of plates depicting si...For more information please visit

This is a remarkably detailed review of the Royal Engineers (RE) and its varied units in
peacetime and the tremendous expansion that took place during the course of the war
including the formation of many new units that did not exist before the war. What is
interesting is how wide were the responsibilities of the Corps, which are fully described,
chapter by chapter, thus we read and learn about: bridging units, electrical and mechanical
companies, tunnelling companies, forestry units, the inundation section, tramway and
foreway companies (the latter being a new service, formed in March 1918, to distribute
supplies forward of railhead).Then there were transportation units, the postal service, the
signals service, which separated from its parent Corps in 1920 and became the Royal Corps
of Signals, meteorological sections, camouflage, field survey, mapping, anti-aircraft
searchlight, gas (the Special Brigade) and yet more besides. It makes for fascinating and, I am
sure, very enlightening reading for many. At the end there are tables showing all these and
their growth during the war and the numbers serving in the various theatres of war. The RE
regulars and special reserve began the war with 1,056 officers and 10,304 men; by 1 August
1917 these figures had become 8,886 and 230,500. In this same period the TF grew from
13,640 all ranks to 56,282.
This section begins by noting the complete lack of Engineer intelligence regarding the
Western Theatre of War before 1914. An old, 1906 report confirmed that the roads in
Belgium were paved or macademised, while all it said about the Meuse was that its current
was swift in places while its depth was sometimes as much as 45 feet. Not a great deal of use!
It then goes on to detail what information was needed and what efforts were made to get it. It
also stressed the need for pamphlets and such like material for Stationery Services
Publications and keeping them up to date; and fourthly was there was the requirement to
obtain information on enemy field engineering methods and disseminate it. This section
concludes with a series of appendices showing list of the plates of field work designs, a list of
the Engineer-in-Chiefs Field-Work notes, Classified index of Mining notes, lists of
publications and a list of German field-work plates.
The idea of forming a Camouflage Section in the BEF was first suggested at GHQ in the
winter of 1915, following the success of the work of the French Camouflage Section in
Amiens, whose workshop was visited by British officers. The chief means of camouflage was
the painted screen, and as a result of a visit to France by a professional artist and his advice,
volunteers were called for from the troops in France with experience of theatrical work, such
as scenic artists, stage carpenters, workers in cardboard etc. These assembled at St Omer
under an officer in January 1916 pending the fitting up of a building in Wimereux. Thus was
born the camouflage service. This account goes on to give details of the first establishments
and subsequent increases in establishment. The Camouflage Service was represented at GHQ,
Army and Corps HQs and depots were set up corps areas and camouflage factories were
formed in Army areas. By the time the war ended camouflage was big in France and
Flanders as this account reveals. American and French work in this field is also featured as
well as German methods. At the end are tables of statistics showing quantities of stores and
materials used.
The Germans led the way in the construction of concrete fortifications, but a significant
disadvantage from the British point of view was the lack of practical experience in that type
of work on the part of the majority of engineers. Nevertheless a good deal of in situ work
was done, especially for MG emplacements and OPs. The discovery of many concrete
defences in the German lines captured during 1917 renewed our interest in this type of work,
but again ignorance, especially in the properties of concrete or in its application to defence
works led to many faulty constructions along our front. Efforts to put this right came in a
Fieldworks Note issued by the Engineer in Chief drawing attention to mistakes and
enunciating the main principles of reinforced concrete design. This account shows how the
problems were tackled and the amount of resources put into the work. Concrete factories
were built and special units were formed, "Transportation Works Companies, RE composed
of men of various trades and each numbering five officers and 257 other ranks. There are a
number of plates depicting technical drawings of concrete structures
This section opens with a somewhat peeved comment that the extent to which the success of
operations was dependent upon the opening up and maintainance of communications was
probably not fully realized except by those who had to do the job, no more than the
difficulties that had to be overcome during the first two years of the war was appreciated.
This account certainly paints the picture of a formidable task. The first concentration of
large masses of men and animals in small areas, and the growth of artillery strength, that
marked the Battle of the Somme in 1916, intensified all communications and transportation
problems, and there gradually emerged a series of specialized departments, such as Railways,
Roads, Labour and Engineer Stores, which , by the end of the war had assumed very wide
proportions and absorbed a huge number of personnel and amount of equipment. The author
deals with the subject under three headings: Tracks, which involved men, animals and horse
transport; Forward Roads (including railheads), and Tramways, all of which came under the
Engineer-in-Chief at GHQ. Railways were not his responsibility. A new organization which
emerged was known as Foreway and included in the narrative is a letter from the CGS setting
out how the organization was to be formed. The basic element was the Foreway Company
RE the make up of which is given in detail. The plates show drawings of rail/tramway
trucks, bridges, tracks, road and tramway systems in Army and Corps areas.

This short piece of work is a summary of the development of anti-aircraft searchlights in

France between 1915 and 1918. In 1915 the resources amounted to two sections each with
three searchlights, which were employed for the protection of GHQ at St Omer. The narrative
describes how the searchlight component of the RE grew (personnel numbered 3,000 all
ranks by the end of the war) and notes the different types of projectors in service. It also
describes the use of lights, their deployment, their successes and limitations on various parts
of the battlefield. It concludes with a section on anticipated development had the war gone
on. In the summer of 1940 the responsibility for searchlights passed to the Royal Artillery

WAR 1914-1918: Inundations
Order No: 9322
In 1914 the BEF did not have any technical units to deal with the problems of water supply,
electricity, machinery or workshops forward of the L of C. With the steadily increasing
number of troops, and the consequent extensions of fronts, with the demands of all sorts of
trench warfare contrivances, and requirements of a higher degree of comfort in living
conditions the lack of skilled personnel became apparent to all. However, the problem of
water supply in the Somme battles brought matters to a head and resulted in the formation
during the winter of 1916-17 of an Electrical and Mechanical Company for each Army,
followed in the summer of 1917 by a similar number of Army Workshop Companies RE.
This volume traces in details the story of these units and the nature of their work. Numerous
tables and lists provide details of the personnel and their trades in an E & M Company, types
of equipment in use, drawings of equipment and a diagram showing a typical organization for
work in an E & M Company. One plate shows the principal electric stations in British Army
areas and another illustrates the electric lighting of the Hulluch-Cuinchy subways. This is a
comprehensive account.

Flooding, or in military terminology inundation,formed part of the Belgian defence plan,

and in the first three months of the war inundations were formed at Antwerp in accordance
with that plan and had some success in interfering with the German advance. The opening of
the sea gates at Nieuport, which allowed the tides to flood the country between Nieuport and
Dixmude covered the main defensive line in the coastal area right up to the German retreat in
1918. This book provides an account of the use of inundations by the BEF or preparations
for their use at the time of the German advance in 1918. It also describes the German use of
inundations. For the benefit of the Royal Engineers it gives advice on the information
required for forecasting inundations and it lists a number of deductions on their use drawn
from the experience of 1914-18. The map is of the Western Front from the North sea down to
the Oise (south of St Quentin) illustrating inundation schemes.
This volume deals with two types of RE schools established in the BEF, they were: School of
Instruction - For OCs and 2ICs of Field Units, first started in the winter 1916-17; and
Training School - For all ranks of the Royal Engineers, later opened to officers and NCOs of
Pioneer battalions, formed early in 1917. There were two Schools of Instruction, one at Le
Parcq, the other at Blendecques. The staffs consisted of a Commandant (Lt Col), two
instructors (Majors) and a QM. Classes were 40 strong and the course were at first of ten
days duration, later extended to three weeks. The Training School was at Rouen, RE Base
Depot and ran different types of courses and an appendix gives the daily syllabus for the
Construction course for regular RE officers (36 days). One of the plates has a detailed
drawing of the school showing all the facilities.The text describes all the subjects taught and
explains the photos and the plates.
This Regimental History has a good clear narrative, with plenty of detail of every kind.The
early campaigns receive good coverage, followed by an interesting account of WWI Services
in France and on the NWF.The story concludes with the Third Afghan War.Extracts from the
Bengal and Indian Army Lists for the years 1839, 1844, 1857, 1914 and 1923 are inserted in
the main text.The 1st and 3rd Lancers were amalgamated in 1921 to form the 1st/3rd Cavalry.
The title was changed again in 1922 to the 1st Duke of Yorks Own Skinners Horse.

An amphibious force was formed in Halifax to attack and reduce the French fortresss of
Louisbourg on Novia Scotia. The military force was commanded by General Jeffrey
Amhurst, while Admiral Edward Boscawen commanded the strong Fleet that accompanied
the soldiers, one of whose commanders was the youthful James Wolfe who later achieved
fame in the hour of his death by conquering Quebec. On the first day of the siege, June 8th,
1758, British troops succeeded in breaching the French defences, and French spirits were
further lowered when their flagship LEntreppenant was hit by a mortar, caught fire and blew
up taking two other vessels with her. When the ports Governor Drucour offered to surrender
at the end of July he was refused the honours of war by Amhurst, and the French retaliated by
destroying their weapons rather than handing them over to the British. Upon receiving the
French capitulation the British systematically destroyed the port, ensuring that it would
never be fortified by the French again. This book gives a day by day account of the siege and
should be read by all those interested in 18th century warfare and the building of British
Canada.

ROLLING INTO ACTION,
MEMOIRS OF A TANK CORPS
SECTION COMMANDER
Written by one of the last survivors of the campaign, this book is a fascinating inside account
of one of the Second World Wars most exciting yet controversial episodes :the difficult,
dangerous but eventually victorious attempt by Britain to decisively influence the course of
the war in the Balkans. The Yugoslav war was a savage and many-sided conflict in which
Germans, Italians, Communist Partisans, Serbian Royalists; Croatian Fascists and eventually
Stalins Russians all played their part. Britains intervention was fraught with political as well
as military problems from first to last. Controversy continues over Londons decision to
switch support from Milhailovics monarchist Cetnik guerillas to Titos more militarily
effective Communist Partisans. Some famous names were among the liasion missions
parachuted in to join the Partisans in their mountain lairs, including politician and travel
writer Fitzroy Maclean; the Prime Ministers son Randolph Churchill; novelist Evelyn
Waugh and historian WIlliam Deakin. McConvilles book concentrates on the lesser-known
post -1943 period when torpedo and gunboats operating among the islands of the Dalmatian
coast replaced the risky airdrops, and British soldiers and sailors fought alongside the
Partisans, both male and female. The author was stationed on the island of Vis as a young
subaltern, and offers a valuable eye-witness history and a vivid memoir of a vital moment in
a war whose echoes persisted into the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s.
A rare and racily written tank commanders memoir by an officer who was in at the sharp end
of all the major tank actions of 1917-18 : Passchendaele; Cambrai; the 1918 German
offensives and the battle of Amiens.

THE LOYAL NORTH LANCASHIRE
REGIMENT 1914-1919
The charge of the Royal Deccan Horse at High Wood on July 14th 1916, two weeks into the
battle of the Somme, is one of the legendary exploits of the Great War - celebrated for the
courage of those who galloped up through the cornfields, and for the sheer anachronism of
attempting a cavalry charge on the western front. The charge was the first made since trench
warfare began, and it was the last. The regiment lost 50 casualties (nine dead); and 72 horses.
This history of the famous Indian unit recounts the famous charge, and the rest of the
Deccan Horses war service, which included deployment in Palestine in 1918 and taking part
in the capture of Damascus from the Turks. A fascinating unit history which will interest all
Great War history specialists, as well as cavalry and Indian enthusiasts.
Todays British soldiers serving in Iraq will know the country in which much of this unit
history is set - the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers known in the Great War as
Mesopotamia. Unusually for such a work of record, the author lays down the background to
the Great War in the Middle East in some detail - stressing such factors as the GermanTurkish alliance; the building of the Berlin to Baghdad railway and Britains interest in the
Persian ( Iranian) oilfields. He also reports events with a topical resonance today - such as
anti-British riots in Basra, and the declaration of a JIhad. The 43rd took part in the defeat of
the Turks at Khan Baghdadi, and after the armistice in the spring of 1919 was re-deployed to
Archangel in northern Russia in an effort to nip the Bolshevik revoloution in the bud. Under
the command of General Sir Edmund Tiny Ironside the 43rd battled gallantly against
Bolshevik forces, although beset by flies, mosquitoes, bloodsucking ticks called clegs - and
their unreliable White Russian allies. At last, partly through lack of progress and partly due
to political pressure against an un popular foreign adventure - another echo of today- the unit
was withdrawn in the autumn of 1919. An intriguing and unusual account of two littleknown camapigns with eerily prophetic echoes of events in Iraq today.
Fully comprehensive history of the massive contribution to the Great War made by the Loyal
North Lancs - one of the British armys proudest regiments, which served in every theatre of
the war from the beginning to the end.

This account of the amphibious operations carried out in Iraq (then called Mesopotamia)
against the Turks in the Great War is replete with names all too familiar to us today: Basra,
Nasiriya, Baghdad. For then, as now, British sailors and soldiers were fighting a neglected,
thankless campaign in a tough environment where, according to the author who commanded
it: there was too much water for the soldiers and not enough for the sailors. Vice-Admiral
Nunn, in his elegant sloop of a gunboat Espiegle, commanded a mixed force that, along with
irregulars he calls our Arab allies fought their way up the great twin TIgris and Euphrates
rivers against stubborn and determined Turkish resistance. Despite disappointments, such as
the failure to re-take the town of Kut al Amara, lost with all its garrison early in the war, the
campaign was eventually crowned with success with the capture of Baghdad in 1917. This is
a book that will interest all Great War buffs, as well as those studying amphibious operations
and anyone serving in Iraq today.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGNERS, THE
HISTORY OF THE 3RD BATTALION
(QUEEN MARYS OWN) THE
BALUCH REGIMENT
Lieutenant-Colonel W. E. Maxwell
Slim though this unit history is, it covers a lot of ground - from the raising of the battalions of
this distinguished Indian regiment by that brilliant soldier Gen. Sir Charles Napier in 1844
down to the campaign against a post-Second World War Communist takeover of Greece in
1944-46. En route, the Battalion saw service on many a bloodstained battlefield including
campaigns against their fellow countrymen around the famous North-West frontier in the
19th century, to both world wars. A fascinating history of a fierce fighting unit which will be
snapped up by all those interested in India and her soldiers.

The part played by Indian soldiers in the Great War is, as the author of this excellent and
excitingly written history correctly complains, somewhat under-appreciated. He blames this
on the fact that Regular Army officers in Indian Regiments were too few and too overworked to write down the essntial facts, while the Indians themselves did not write in
English. For W. S. Thatcher, a volunteer who joined up at the outbreak of the war for the
duration - his service with the Baluchis remained the great adventure of my life. The
Baluchis served in Flanders, fighting in the battles of Festubert and Neuve Chapelle and Loos
in 1915 before the decision was taken to embark them for East Africa. Here they fought
against that elusive guerrilla genius Gen. Von Lettow-Vorbeck, and, as Thatcher writes,
They responded magnificently. He adds bitterly: The East African campaign would have
meant very great privation and hardship even if it had been well-organised and run, which it
was not. Columns were only too often sent out with inadequate medical equipment, porters
even without water bottles. Food was bad. Von Lettow would have managed it better.
Casualties in East Africa were much less than in Flanders, but the regiment was ravaged by
dysentery and malaria. The book comes complete with Rolls of Honour; and appendices on
awards; organisation of Indian troops; and many maps.

The New Zeald Land Wars that rumbled on, breaking out sporadically, then dying down
briefly before flaring up again - were wars of territorial possession. The protagonists were the
incoming, - overwhelmingly British and significantly Scottish - settlers who arrived each
week by the boatload - prompting one Maori to ask whether the whole British tribe is
emigrating to New Zealand - and the indigenous Maoris, a Polynesian people divided into
rival tribes. The wars - which were little more than colonial skirmishes rather than fullyfledged battles, with casualties numbered in the scores rather than ther thousands,- were
prompted by the ever-mounting hunger for Maori land by the settlers. The vague and nonwritten terms of Masori land tenure often provided the excuse for European land grabs, and
conflct resulted when the Maoris resisted by armed force. This large book salutes 150
soldiers and colonial officials who served in the Maori wars. It comes complete with a roll of
volunteers ( usually settler volunteers) and members of the settler militia which eventually
evolved into the New Zealand army. The book also lists holders of the New Zealand Medal
awarded to those serving in the wars, and gives a nominal roll of those killed in action. Well
illustrated with portaits of those honoured and colour plates. A rare volume of keen interest to
all New Zealanders and to students of British imperial history.
This comprehensive collection of Naval Medals - this volume covering the mid 19th century
- is the fruit of the energy, enthusiasm and vast erudition of one man : the late Capt.
Kenneth Douggie Douglas-Morris, R.N. - probably the pre-eminent collector of naval
medals of all time. In this volume he showcases medals -many from his own unique private
collection - from campaigns in which the Royal Navy participated in the high summer of
Victorian imperialism - the China wars, the Indian Mutiny, the New Zealand wars; the
Ashantee and Abyssinian campaigns and the first Boer War. As well as technical detail on the
medals and awards themselves, The Captain - as he was universally known in the Naval and
numismatic worlds - puts flesh on hunks of metal as he liked to put it, by researching and
telling the human stories behind the awards, never forgetting that these apparently lifeless
discs were paid for in blood, tears, sweat and bravery. This handsome volume is a work for
all who share its authors boundless enthusiasm to treasure.

This is a monumental work in every sense, It is the product of some 35 years of research that
took the author to more than fifty countries and thousands of cemeteries and churchyards. His
aim was to list every known location world-wide of the final resting places and major
memorials to each of the recipients of the VC, with particular emphasis on recording the
exact location of almost three hundred holders who currently have no headstone, memorial or
other marker. He also wished to correct the very large number of previously published errors
relating to places and dates. Some of the recipients stipulated they wanted nothing to mark
their grave; Piper Laidlaw (Loos, September 1915) was one of these. A total of 1,353
individuals received the award and this book records the final resting places of 1,322 of them,
many of them in long forgotten graves round the world. Three of them received the award
twice, 299 were posthumous. The American Unknown Warrior of the Great War was
awarded one in return for the US Congressional Medal of Honour bestowed on the British
Unknown Warrior (who was not awarded the VC), and this makes a total of 1,357 awards.
Each entry is listed in chronological order of deed and numbered accordingly at the beginning
of the first line of the entry, which also gives the name, last known rank and unit followed by
the location of the deed, under which is another number. This is the position of the name
where the recipients are listed alphabetically, as in The Register of the Victoria Cross. Other
