Download or read book Fifth Division in the Great War written by A.H. Hussey and published by . This book was released on 2001-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 5th Division was a pre-war regular division, one of the original four divisions of the BEF, part of II Corps, and it arrived in France on 16th/17th August. Along with the 3rd Division it took the brunt of the Battle of Mons and was heavily engaged at Le Cateau on 26th August when it won all five VCs awarded in the battle. These two engagements cost the division just over 4,500 casualties. The division fought on the Aisne and the Marne and in October and November it was in action on the La Bassee front and then in the battles of First Ypres; between 14th October and 30th November 1914 it incurred a further 5,100 casualties. For the first seven months of 1915 the 5th Division remained in the Ypres Salient, taking part in the Hill 60 fighting and in Second Ypres when the Germans first used gas. From July to September 1916 the division was involved in the fighting on the Somme, suffering 11,745 casualties. It also fought in the 1917 Arras offensive and in Third Ypres at Polygon Wood, Broodseinde, Poelcapelle and Passchendaele. In November 1917 the division was sent to Italy, returning to France in April 1918, thus missing the opening phase of the German March offensive, but otherwise it fought in nearly all the battles on the Western Front. No final casualty figure for the war is given but a realistic estimate would be 50,000. Seventeen VCs were won, among them the first to be awarded to a Territorial - 2Lt G.H Woolley, 9th (QVR) Battalion the London Regt, for gallantry at Hill 60 where, today, there is still a memorial to the battalion, erected soon after the war. This history is a readable and competent account of a division which retained a majority of regular battalions throughout. The maps are clear though small, but lack any tactical information. There is a very useful chronological table of events involving the division and the two appendices give details of changes in the order of battle and in divisional staff and brigade commanders. Finally, the divisional sign was a yellow diagonal on a blue, square background. Both co-authors served in the division, Hussey commanded the divisional artillery (CRA) and Inman (Cheshires) served as GSO3 and later as DAAG at divisional HQ.
Book Synopsis Harlem's Rattlers and the Great War by : Jeffrey T. Sammons
Download or read book Harlem's Rattlers and the Great War written by Jeffrey T. Sammons and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2015-09-26 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When on May 15, 1918 a French lieutenant warned Henry Johnson of the 369th to move back because of a possible enemy raid, Johnson reportedly replied: "I'm an American, and I never retreat." The story, even if apocryphal, captures the mythic status of the Harlem Rattlers, the African-American combat unit that grew out of the 15th New York National Guard, who were said to have never lost a man to capture or a foot of ground that had been taken. It also, in its insistence on American identity, points to a truth at the heart of this book--more than fighting to make the world safe for democracy, the black men of the 369th fought to convince America to live up to its democratic promise. It is this aspect of the storied regiment's history--its place within the larger movement of African Americans for full citizenship in the face of virulent racism--that Harlem's Rattlers and the Great War brings to the fore. With sweeping vision, historical precision, and unparalleled research, this book will stand as the definitive study of the 369th. Though discussed in numerous histories and featured in popular culture (most famously the film Stormy Weather and the novel Jazz), the 369th has become more a matter of mythology than grounded, factually accurate history--a situation that authors Jeffrey T. Sammons and John H. Morrow, Jr. set out to right. Their book--which eschews the regiment's famous nickname, the "Harlem Hellfighters," a name never embraced by the unit itself--tells the full story of the self-proclaimed Harlem Rattlers. Combining the "fighting focus" of military history with the insights of social commentary, Harlem's Rattlers and the Great War reveals the centrality of military service and war to the quest for equality as it details the origins, evolution, combat exploits, and postwar struggles of the 369th. The authors take up the internal dynamics of the regiment as well as external pressures, paying particular attention to the environment created by the presence of both black and white officers in the unit. They also explore the role of women--in particular, the Women's Auxiliary of the 369th--as partners in the struggle for full citizenship. From its beginnings in the 15th New York National Guard through its training in the explosive atmosphere in the South, its singular performance in the French army during World War I, and the pathos of postwar adjustment--this book reveals as never before the details of the Harlem Rattlers' experience, the poignant history of some of its heroes, its place in the story of both World War I and the African American campaign for equality--and its full i

Book Synopsis Memoirs of My Services in the World War, 1917-1918 by : George Catlett Marshall
Download or read book Memoirs of My Services in the World War, 1917-1918 written by George Catlett Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George C. Marshall was an American military leader, Chief of Staff of the Army, Secretary of State, and the third Secretary of Defense. Once noted as the "organizer of victory" by Winston Churchill for his leadership of the Allied victory in World War II, Marshall served as the United States Army Chief of Staff during the war and as the chief military adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As Secretary of State, his name was given to the Marshall Plan, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. He drafted this manuscript while he was in Washington, D.C., between 1919 and 1924 as aide-de-camp to General of the Armies John J. Pershing. However, given the growing bitterness of the "memoirs wars" of the period he decided against publication, and the draft sat unused until the 1970s when Marshall's step-daughter and her husband decided to publish it.
