Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 5th Connaught Rangers began life in Galway, the regimental Depot, on the west coast of Ireland but soon moved to Dublin where the drafts to make up the battalion began to arrive. The battalion officially came into existence as the 5th Battalion on 19 August 1914 under the command of Lt Col H.F.N. Jourdain who remained in command throughout the period covered in this book. The first chapter describes the build-up in great detail, giving the names of every officer and the date of arrival, and the dates of arrival of each draft and its strength. The battalion was allocated to 29th Brigade, 10th (Irish) Division, the first Irish division in the history of the British Army, composed of battalions of all the Irish line regiments. After preliminary training in Ireland the division moved to England in May 1915, concentrating in the Basingstoke area and in July it embarked for Gallipoli. The battalion, with 29th Brigade, landed at Anzac Cove on the morning of 6th August, attached to the Anzac Corps, and thereafter took part in several actions, Lone Pine, Chunak Bair and the attack on Hill 60 (27th-29th August) which involved severe, hand-to-hand fighting. At the end of September the 10th Division was withdrawn prior to transfer to the Macedonian front. The battalion left Gallipoli on 29th September some seven weeks after landing, during that period it incurred 684 casualties (220 dead) out of an original embarkation strength of 975. On 10th October 1915 the battalion arrived at Salonika and about a month later the division advanced into Serbia and Bulgaria. Operations were conducted in rugged, inhospitable country, in freezing cold (on one occasion even the greatcoats were frozen stiff) and against a tough enemy. Fighting was particularly savage at Kosturino which cost the battalion well over 500 casualties - nearly 150 invalided with frost-bite. By the end of the year the division had fallen back to Salonika. This is a very detailed record of the battalion s activities with frequent strength states, casualty lists with officers named as well as names of those joining. A table at the end of the book summarises the casualties from July 1915 to January 1916, they total 1,219.

Download or read book WHO ANSWERED THE BUGLE CALL? written by Raymond Metters and published by Raymond J Metters. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revised manuscript for the WW1 book, sponsored originally by Westmeath Community Development in 2011, focuses upon Kilbeggan in the Irish Republic while making comparisons with the experiences of similar towns in Counties Westmeath and Offaly. The suffering, heroism, and poignant accounts of so many young men sacrificing their lives, become alive in what would otherwise remain as the forgotten history of long since abandoned Irish regiments. Many youngsters also returned as physically and mentally scarred wrecks, to a civilian existence ill-equipped to help them. One surprise from the study concerns the number of older recruits, a few even over fifty years, who served as infantrymen. The study also recalls defunct regiments like the Connaught Rangers, or the Leinster Regiment, which gained four Victoria Cross awards in WW1. Military units emerge with less familiar names; for instance, the Inland Water Transport Corps. The study extends to the wider local civilian communities drawn into the European war of 1914-1918, especially the enormous contribution made by the remarkable women involved in relief work, and the tragedy sometimes resulting from that commitment. An example from the region is Venice C.H. Hackett, a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) nurse who returned ill to London from abroad, only to die in October 1918 from the raging Spanish flu. Her remains lie in Liss, County Offaly. Yet, countless names of civilian helpers are unknown. Who indeed answered the bugle call?

Book Synopsis Gardens of Hell by : Patrick Gariepy
Download or read book Gardens of Hell written by Patrick Gariepy and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardens of Hell examines the human side of one of the great tragedies of modern warfare, the Gallipoli campaign of the First World War. In February 1915, beginning with a naval attack on Turkey in the Dardanelles, a combined force of British, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, and French troops invaded the Gallipoli Peninsula only to face crushing losses and an ignominious retreat from what seemed a hopeless mission. Both sides in the battle suffered huge casualties, with a combined 127,000 servicemen killed during the action. Patrick Gariepy has pieced together the battle from combatantsÆ own words. Drawn from diaries and letters and from stories passed down through generations of families, these firsthand accounts offer an honest, heartfelt, and sometimes painful testimony to a doomed campaign fought by the men who lived through the fury, terror, and grief that was Gallipoli. Gardens of Hell is a sensitive acknowledgment of the enormous human cost of military folly and failure.
