Book Synopsis The Roll of Honour, Vol. 1 by : De Ruvigny
Download or read book The Roll of Honour, Vol. 1 written by De Ruvigny and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roll of Honour, Vol. 1: A Biographical Record of All Members of His Majesty's Naval and Military Forces Who Have Fallen in the War; With Some 2, 500 Portraits The purpose of the Roll of Honour is to place on permanent record the name of every officer, non-commissioned officer and man of His Majesty's Forces, on land or sea, who is killed in action, who dies of wounds, or whose death is otherwise resulting from the present war. The work is to be issued in a series of volumes, and the arrangement is alphabetical. The name, rank and regiment of every one whose name appears in the official casualty lists are included, and where details have been obtainable, the parentage, place and date of birth, schools, a biographical sketch of career, and date and place of death, with extracts from letters of Commanding Officers or comrades relating to the action in which the officer or man fell, or to the particular circumstances of his death. The names of children have been included so that in the years to come they may themselves read, or teach their children to read, of the glorious way in which their fathers died and of those individual acts of bravery that are the chief redeeming features of war. The, present volume contains some names, and deals with casualties during the first year of the war, though certain exceptions have been made in order that relatives, though killed at different periods, may be included together. In every case it has been found possible to give the full name and to state the actual date, and the locality, of death, and these details must add very greatly to the value of the record, as they are not to be found in the Official Casualty Lists. A large number of portraits of officers and men will be found included. With some casualties it was obviously clearly impossible that one should be given in every case, but when a portrait is supplied, the publishers do their best to include it. The three following volumes, which are at present in course of completion or preparation, will, it is hoped, be issued this year. These are the second and third volumes for 1914-15, and the first volume for 1916. It is earnestly hoped that relatives of those deceased in the service will, by furnishing particulars, co-operate in carrying out what is, even with the official facilities which are being given, an exceedingly difficult task.

Book Synopsis Nelson at War 1914-1918 by : Roy Swales
Download or read book Nelson at War 1914-1918 written by Roy Swales and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Naval Division, a fighting formation of naval ratings and Royal Marines, was formed at the instigation of Winston Churchill at the beginning of the First World War. At first under the control of the Admiralty, it fought at the defence of Antwerp in October 1914 and through the whole of the Gallipoli campaign. In 1916 the Admiralty handed the Division over to Army control. Re-named the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division, it fought with great distinction and success with the BEF in France and Belgium. The division was always an odd ball formation, fighting under the White Ensign, and its eight naval battalions were named after great admirals. The greatest of them all, Vice Admiral Horatio, Viscount Nelson, gave his name to Nelson Battalion. Like the other naval battalions, the Nelson had a complement of officers and ratings of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and Royal Fleet Reserve seamen and stokers. Nearly 800 would lose their lives in the three and half years of its fighting existence. The book traces the history of Nelson Battalion from August 1914 to February 1918 when it was disbanded. Against the background of the battalion's movements and battles the fate of its sailor-soldiers is revealed, more than 300 individuals being mentioned in the text. A full roll of honour is also included. Main Selling Points: * The Nelson Battalion was constantly in action throughout the Great Wr (Antwerp, Galliopoli and Northern France). * A detailed study of this unusual force which will be of great interest to WW1 enthusiasts and naval historians.

Download or read book Scotland and the First World War written by Gill Plain and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did war look like in the cultural imagination of 1914? Why did men in Scotland sign up to fight in unprecedented numbers? What were the martial myths shaping Scottish identity from the aftermath of Bannockburn to the close of the nineteenth century, and what did the Scottish soldiers of the First World War think they were fighting for? Scotland and the First World War: Myth, Memory and the Legacy of Bannockburn is a collection of new interdisciplinary essays interrogating the trans-historical myths of nation, belonging and martial identity that shaped Scotland’s encounter with the First World War. In a series of thematically linked essays, experts from the fields of literature, history and cultural studies examine how Scotland remembers war, and how remembering war has shaped Scotland.

In just 4 years, 3 months and 1 week, the world had changed. Over 37 million people had been killed or wounded across the world. Empires had collapsed, new powers had risen. Peace had at last fallen across most of the world. For the United Kingdom and Ireland, almost every town, village and parish had lost men, women or children during the fighting. In fact, there were only fifty-three parishes across England and Wales where all servicemen and women returned. For Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, there was not a single community that shared the fortune of these 53 'Thankful Villages'.

Peace was just around the corner, but hundreds of thousands still had to lose their lives to ensure that War came to an end.
