Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 53rd was a pre-war Territorial Force division which served in Gallipoli, Egypt and Palestine but never on the Western Front. The book opens with the detailed order of battle of the division as it was on the outbreak of war, a state of affairs that didn t last long; between November 1914 and February 1915 six battalions were posted independently to various formations in the BEF in Flanders. After being warned for India in November, an order which was quickly cancelled, the division was eventually reorganized in April 1915 with one of the brigades (159th) being composed of Home Counties battalions replacing those that had been sent overseas. In July 1915 the division sailed for Lemnos and thence to the Dardanelles where it landed, at Suvla, in August 1915. By the time it was withdrawn to Egypt in December the effective fighting strength had been reduced to 162 officers and 2,428 other ranks. Back in Egypt the division joined the Suez Canal Defence force and, in August 1916, took part in the battle of Romani in the Sinai desert in August and then in the advance on 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 bungled water supply. Eastern Force commander was given the heave-ho and replaced by Chetwode, and the GOC in C Egyptian Expeditionary Force, Murray, was replaced by Allenby. The last three months of 1917 saw divisional successes at Third Gaza, Beersheba and Jerusalem. One VC was awarded, in Palestine, to a battalion MO. In June-August 1918 the division was again reorganized, this time to the Indian Army establishment. Five of its battalions were sent to the Western Front to join the reconstituted 34th Division and their places were taken by Indian/Gurkha battalions, leaving one British battalion per brigade; the old and new orders of battle are compared in the text. The narrative ends with the victory at Meggido in which the part played by each brigade is described. Appendices include several examples of corps and divisional operation orders; the succession of COs of the British battalions and a brief record of doings of each of the five battalions sent to 34th Division. There is no list of honours and awards, no roll of honour and, alas, no index.

Book excerpt: On 28 September 1914, a representative meeting of all classes of the Principality of Wales 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 of the the three Welsh regiments (Royal Welsh Fusiliers, South Wales Borderers and the Welsh regiment). This book describes all the meetings that took place, publishes memoranda and explains the progress of recruiting and forming the battalions and other divisional units 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.

Download or read book That Astonishing Infantry' written by Michael Glover and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Welch Fusiliers were present at all Marlborough's great victories; they were one of the six Minden regiments; they fought throughout the Peninsula and were present at Wellington's final glorious victory at Waterloo. In The Great War their officers included the writer poets Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves; their 22 battalions fought not just on the Western Front but at Gallipoli, in Egypt, Palestine, Salonika, Mesopotamia and Italy. In WW2 they won battle honours from the Reichswald to Kohima. More recently they have served with distinction in the war against terror in the Middle East. Like so many famous regiments the RWF are no longer in the British Army's order of battle having been amalgamated into the Royal Regiment of Wales. But this fine book is the lasting memorial to a fiercely proud and greatly admired regiment.

Book excerpt: Defending Albion is the first published study of Britain's response to the threat of invasion from across the North Sea in the first two decades of the Twentieth Century. It examines the emergency schemes designed to confront an enemy landing and the problems associated with raising and maintaining the often derided Territorial Force. It also explores the long-neglected military and political difficulties posed by the spontaneous and largely unwanted appearance of the 'Dad's Army' of the Great War, the Volunteer Force.

Book excerpt: The Crookenden brothers – Henry, Napier and Spencer - were born into a military dynasty. Their father, Arthur, was a renowned Cheshire Regiment officer and had served as a Brigade Major in Gallipoli and on the Western Front during the First World War. Napier followed in his father’s footsteps - becoming an officer in the Cheshire Regiment - and saw action during the Arab Revolt in Palestine in 1936. On the outbreak of the Second World War, Napier’s brothers followed him into the army for war service: Henry in the Queen’s Westminster Rifles and the King’s Royal Rifle Corps and Spencer in the Royal Engineers. Spencer and Henry’s wartime service took a different course to their brother. While Napier languished in a succession of unrewarding posts in Great Britain, his brothers fought across North Africa and into Italy. Napier - desperate to see action - joined the new airborne arm and, as a Brigade Major, arrived in Normandy by glider on D-Day. Promotion followed rapidly and he took over a parachute battalion before returning to England. As the pace of the war increased, Napier found himself continually in the front line. His battalion fought in the Battle of the Bulge and he parachuted at its head during the Rhine crossing operation. Napier pursued the German Army across its homeland - reaching the Baltic, where he finished the war facing down the Russian Army in Wismar on VE Day. With the war over, the brothers’ fortunes once again took different paths. Henry and Spencer left with the effects of wounds and illness sustained during the war, and returned to civilian life to pursue full careers and lives. Napier stayed with the army and saw operational service in Palestine once again and Malaya. He retired in 1972 as a three-star General. Ever Glorious is written through the letters exchanged between Henry, Napier, Spencer and their father, Arthur. The book takes the reader from Gallipoli to the Baltic; North Africa to the Ardennes; Normandy to Palestine; and from Italy to Malaya. Often gripping - sometimes amusing and always insightful - these letters reveal the experiences, thoughts and emotions of a family involved in war across the 20th century.

This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing Your Great War Ancestors: The Egypt and Palestine Campaigns is the first book explicitly aimed at helping the descendants of those who fought in this part of the Middle East find out more about their ancestors actions, experiences and achievements. Their wartime lives were very different to those who served on the Western Front, and yet have never before been explored from this angle.Hundreds of thousands of British and Imperial troops fought in the Western Desert, Sinai Desert, Palestine, the Jordan Valley and Syria. They served in conditions quite unlike those more familiarly faced in France and Flanders, with everyday challenges to survival including the heat, lack of water, hostile wildlife and rampant disease. The fighting too was of a different character, with more open, sweeping campaigns across desert and mountains, and comparatively little systematic trench warfare.As well as giving the reader a vivid impression of the experience of wartime service in the region, Stuart Hadaways handbook provides a guide to the main sources, archives and websites that researchers can consult to get an insight into their ancestors role and their contribution to the war effort.
