Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A substantial regimental history of a distinguished unit down to the South African War a century ago, and of its two disbanded predecessors. The first 85th , the Royal Volunteers was raised in 1759 and took part in the capture of the French island of Belleisle in the Bay of Biscay and also served in Spain and Portugal during the Seven Years War before being disbanded in 1763. The second unit to bear the numerals 85 , the Westminster Volunteers, had a truly tragic fate. IThis 85th was raised in 1779 and served in Jamaica where the ravages of Yellow Fever took such a toll that the remnants of the regiment not stricken by the disease were embarked for New York in a convoy which was wrecked by an Atlantic storm. There were very few survivors and remnants of the regiment was disbanded on arriving home at Dover. The third and final incarnation of the 85th begun life as the Bucks Volunteers in 1793, served in the French Revolutionary wars in the Netherlands, Madeira and Jamaica. Transformed into a Light Infantry unit, it again served in the Low Countiries - around Flushing and Walcheren - in the Napoleonic Wars in 1808. With an establishment raised to ten companies, the 85th fought in the Peninsula War, being present at the Battle of Fuentes d Onoro. It returned to Spain for the final 1813-14 campaign of the war, serving at the Siege of San Sebastian, and fighting against Marshal Soult at the battle of the Nivelle. The unit ended the war at Bayonne. In the 1814 War with the United States, the 85th was present when Washington was captured and the White House burned. In the same war it also took part in the disastrous Battle of New Orleans. In the mid-century, the 85th was on garrison duty in Malta, Gibraltar, Ireland, Canada, India and the West Indies. It took part in the 1879-80 campaigns in Afghanistan. The final battle honours recounted in this volume were during the South African War when the 85th was present at the battle of Paardeburg and faced the legendary Boer commando leaders Generals De Wet and Botha. This exceptional book has many fine illustrations, including 11 colour plates illustrating the evolution of regimental uniforms; five appendices listing officers of the regiment; and many maps, drawings and sketches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 1st July 1881, the 53rd Shropshire Regt and the 85th King s Light Infantry amalgamated to become the 1st and 2nd Battalions respectively of the King s Shropshire Light Infantry (KSLI); the Shropshire Militia became the 3rd Special Reserve (SR) Battalion. On the outbreak of war in 1914 the regiment consisted of four battalions: the 1st (Ireland), 2nd (India), the 3rd and the 4th (Territorial) were in Shrewsbury. During the course of the war the establishment of the regiment was raised to thirteen battalions, eight of them (1st, 2nd, 1/4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 10th) went on active service, between them in France and Flanders, Mesopotamia and Palestine while the remainder furnished drafts and took part in home defence. Fifty-two battle honours and one VC were awarded; 4,710 died. Covering eight battalions in one book does not allow for much detail, in fact descriptions of actions and operations tend to be summaries. However, there are plenty of names in the text, officers and other ranks. The contents are arranged in eleven chapters, one for each of the eight front line battalions, each with a map covering its areas of operation; one for the Depot; one for the reserve battalions and a final one describing activities at home. Appendices provide the roll of honour of officers, roll of honour of other ranks listed by battalion, British and Foreign awards, mentions in despatches and mentions in the Press and awards of brevet rank. Finally there is an index.

Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

Download or read book Memoirs of a Rifleman Scout written by F. M. Crum and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Maurice Crum (18791952) fought in the Second Boer War (18991902) in the Mounted Infantry, where he was wounded and taken prisoner. After peacetime service in India he retired due to the effects of his injuries, and became involved in the Boy Scout movement, founding the 7th Troop of Boy Scouts at Stirling in Scotland in 1909. On the outbreak of war in 1914 he rejoined the Rifle Corps and served with its 8th Battalion in France until 1919, specialising in trench sniping.Made up from his extensive diaries and letters to family and friends at the time, this book details the development of sniping in the British Army in the First World War. It was through the work of expert marksmen and trainers like Major Crum that the initial dominance of the Germans in this type of fighting was eventually overcome. These memoirs provide a unique insight into the life of a British Army officer before and during the First World War. Major Crum's involvement in the Boy Scout movement is also a fascinating account of that organisation's origins, showing what the true motives behind its foundation were.With a new Foreword by sniping expert Adrian Gilbert, this is not only a first-rate memoir of sniping in the trenches, but also of a long, outstanding life of bravery

Download or read book The Races of Afghanistan written by Henry Walter Bellew and published by . This book was released on 1880 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Races of Afghanistan was written towards the end of, and shortly after, the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80) and published in London in 1880. The author, Henry Walter Bellew, was a surgeon and medical officer in the Indian Army who over the years had undertaken a number of political missions in Afghanistan and written several books on Indian and Afghan subjects. In explaining the purpose of his book, Bellew writes that the peoples of Afghanistan in his view soon would become subjects of the British Empire and that, "to know the history, interests, and aspirations of a people, is half the battle gained in converting them to loyal, contented, and peaceable subjects...." The book begins with an introduction, an overview chapter on the Afghans, and separate chapters on the history of the Afghans, British relations with Afghanistan, and Sher Ali (the emir of Afghanistan who reigned 1863-66 and 1868-79). These introductory chapters are followed by individual chapters on the following ethnic groups or tribes: Pathan (today usually seen as Pashtun or Paktun, Puktun, or Pushtun), Yusufzai, Afridi, Khattak, Dadicae, Ghilji (also seen today as Ghilzi and Khilji), Tajik, and Hazarah (Hazara in modern times). Bellew speculates on the pre-Islamic origins of the different Afghan peoples, discussing the tradition that the Afghans were descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, and referring to the writings of Herodotus, in which the Dadicae are mentioned as one of four Indian nations forming a satrapy on the extreme eastern frontier of the Persian Empire under the emperor, Darius I. Bellew's book was used as a source by later writers, for example Percy Molesworth Sykes (1867-1945) in his A History of Persia (1921). Bellew was the author of other books on Afghanistan and neighboring countries, of grammars and dictionaries of several Afghan languages, and of studies of individual ethnic groups.
