Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First World War claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its legacy continues to be remembered today. Great War Britain: Oxfordshire offers an intimate portrayal of the county and its people living in the shadowof the 'war to end all wars'. A beautifully illustrated and highly accessible volume, it describes local reaction to the outbreak of war; charts the experience of individuals who enlisted; the changing face of industry; the work of the many hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on local children; the women who defied convention to play a vital role on the home front; and concludes with a chapter dedicated to how the city and its people coped with the transition to life in peacetime once more. The Great War story of Oxfordshire is told through the voices of those who were there and is vividly illustrated through evocative images from the archives of Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum.

Download or read book The 4th (Queen's Own) Hussars in the Great War written by Captain H. K. D. Evans and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his foreword to this book, Winston Churchill rightly calls it a ‘plain yet careful record of the fortunes and services of the 4th (Queen's Own) Hussars in the Great War (which) deserves and will repay attentive study from those to whom the history of the regiments of the British Army is of vivid interest'. The 4th Queen’s Own were one of the Army’s elite cavalry regiments which fulfilled their traditional role in the open warfare which characterised the campaigns in 1914 and 1918 at the beginning and end of the Great War. In between, of course, came the static horrors of trench warfare, when, as Churchill tactfully says: ‘the fond hopes which cavalry Generals and cavalry soldiers cherished of a great eruption of cavalry through the German lines as the culmination of a decisive battle never materialised’. Nevertheless, the 4th took part in the retreat from Mons in 1914; the first and second battle of Ypres - in which they experienced the first German poison gas attack - and the battles of Loos, the Somme and Arras. In 1918 they saw action in both the great German spring offensives and the victorious allied counter-attacks that summer and autumn. Illustrated with maps, photographs and appendices containing rolls of honour, decorations, lists of officers etc. this is a complete unit history for those interested in cavalry regiments in the Great War.

Download or read book The 10th (P.W.O.) Royal Hussars and The Essex Yeomanry written by Lt Col F.H.D.C. Whitmore and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, Lieut-General 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 served showing when they joined and when they left and whether they were casualties and, in the case of the Essex; where they went; Honours and Awards; list of casualties showing killed, wounded or missing. There are also two appendices showing Order of Battle, one giving names of Cavalry Corps, Division and Brigade commanders with dates, and the other giving the composition of the Cavalry Divisions and Brigades. There is an index. This is a gift for researchers, genealogists and medallists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the fascinating, and largely forgotten, story of Oxford's part in the Great War. The University City became a military training camp as soldiers and officer cadets occupied men's colleges left virtually empty as undergraduates enlisted. Public buildings were converted into military hospitals where many war casualties were treated. The City also took in Belgian and Serbian refugees.?Oxford dons engaged in vital war work, and academic life largely depended upon the women's colleges. Local industries, including Morris's new car factory at Cowley, converted to war production, and women made munitions or replaced men in other work.??Fear of invasion sparked the formation of a Dad's Army, and a black-out protected the City from air raids. Civilians, especially women, supported the war effort through fund-raising and voluntary work. They also cultivated war allotments as food shortages led to communal kitchens and rationing.??This expert account shows a civilian population coping with anxiety during a titanic struggle in which college heads and the humblest citizens were afflicted equally by the loss of loved ones.

Download or read book Thirteenth Hussars in the Great War written by H. Mortimer Durand and published by . This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When war broke out the 13th Hussars were in India with the Meerut Cavalry brigade. The Regiment landed at Marseilles in December 1914 with 2nd Indian Cavalry Division and served on the Western Front till June 1916 when it left for Mesopotamia, arriving at Basra in August 1916 joining 7th Indian Cavalry brigade. The main object of the book is to give an account of the Regiment over the ten years of its service to 1920, but it begins with an overview of cavalry before the great War followed by a summary of the Regiment s earlier history from the year it was raised, 1715, to 1910 where this volume proper begins, in India where the regiment arrived in 1904. The main event in India in the four years preceeding the Great War was the Delhi Durbar honouring the new King Emperor, George V, involving 50,000 British and Indian troops. During its eighteen months on the Western Front the regiment was not involved in any major action, in fact the Indian Cavalry Corps was apparently known as The Iron Rations - only to be used in the last extremity.Though they had had some turns in the trenches, involving a few caualties, they had seen no active work as cavalry. In Mesopotamia the Regiment saw plenty of action, on the Tigris, the recapture of Kut, occupation of Baghdad, operations in 1917/18. The history is based essentially on accounts of officers and men who took part and on extracts from letters and diaries.There are some good appendices: Roll of officers who belonged to or served with the Regiment during the war and another for the Other Ranks identifying casualties; a separate list of casualties which includes wounded with dates and location and PWs. There is a list of Honours and Awards, a list of officers who sailed for France from India in November 1914 and showing details of officers who subsequently joined or who were attached to other units. Finally there is an excellent index. This is a very good history

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The 10th (P. W. O.) Royal Hussars and the Essex Yeomanry, During the European War, 1914-1918 The narratives contained in this Volume may per haps be better described as local events connected with the fortunes of the two Regiments to which I have become so attached. Having accompanied the two Regiments, either jointly or severally, to every billet from the date of my landing in F rance in November 1914 until March 1919, also having taken part in every engagement in which these two Regi ments have distinguished themselves during the same period, I feel that a record should be made, necessarily brief as it is, in order that incidents Which united the Regiments together in close friendship during the world's greatest War may not be forgotten - and that generations to follow may learn that their fathers Who served in either of the two Regiments concerned were comrades in arms.
