Book Synopsis The History of 76 Siege Battery R.G.A. by : L.F. Penstone
Download or read book The History of 76 Siege Battery R.G.A. written by L.F. Penstone and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battery was formed at Harwich in August 1915 and in the early days of its existence there had to be a measure of improvisation and inspiration since there were no guns. Old lumber and any sort of equipment took the place of guns but, blessed with one or two expert carpenters in the battery, it wasn't long before very creditable productions in the way of imitation directors and dial sights were soon available. When the battery started training, it had to use 8 inch and 6.6 muzzle- loading howitzers with black powder charges. The battery went to France in March 1916, equipped with four 9.2 inch, and took up positions near Albert. On 1st July the 76th took part in the bombardment that opened the Somme offensive; it was in support of X Corps at Thiepval. It was at Vimy Ridge in April 1917, supporting the Canadians; it was in the Salient during Third Ypres and back on the Somme in 1918 during the German offensive and then the advance to victory. These sub-unit histories are aimed at those who served in them, to bring back memories of personalities, casualties, places, times in the line, times back at rest, and above all - comradeship. Nevertheless this is a good account of the war as experienced by a 9.2 inch battery and a most useful source of information on the artillery war. It ends with the Roll of Honour, the list of Awards and the nominal roll of the original members of the battery, showing what happened to each man - promotion, posting, casualty etc.

Book Synopsis British Artillery on the Western Front in the First World War by : Sanders Marble
Download or read book British Artillery on the Western Front in the First World War written by Sanders Marble and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the popular imagination, the battle fields of the Western Front were dominated by the machine gun. Yet soldiers at the time were clear that artillery - not machine guns - dictated the nature, tactics and strategy of the conflict. Only in the last months of the war when the Allies had amassed sufficient numbers of artillery and learned how to use it in an integrated and coherent manner was the stalemate broken and war ended. In this lucid and prize-winning study, the steady development of artillery, and the growing realisation of its primacy within the British Expeditionary Force is charted and analysed. Through an examination of British and Dominion forces operating on the Western Front, the book looks at how tactical and operational changes affected the overall strategy. Chapters cover the role of artillery in supporting infantry attacks, counter-battery work, artillery in defence, training and command and staff arrangements. In line with the 'learning curve' thesis, the work concludes that despite many setbacks and missed opportunities, by 1918 the Royal Artillery had developed effective and coordinated tactics to overcome the defensive advantages of trench warfare that had mired the Western Front in bloody stalemate for the previous three years.

Book Synopsis 178 Siege Battery R.G.A. by : J.J. Webber
Download or read book 178 Siege Battery R.G.A. written by J.J. Webber and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battery was raised at Forth in June 1916, equipped with four 6in Howitzers. The book describes the origin of the battery and opens with the nominal roll of the original battery, six officers and 128 men, with a group photo. To this roll are added, separately, the names of 14 officers who joined later. At the end is the nominal roll at the start of demobilization, six officers and 130 men, again with a group photo. The battery left for France on 8 October 1916, joining the 54th Heavy Artillery Group in the Arras sector, where it was in action in the offensive of April 1917 and in May. In June 1917 it moved to Ypres and took part in the Third Ypres fighting. In November the battery was in action at Cambrai and in March 1918 it was involved in the retreat and then in the counter-offensive leading to the final advance. An ammunition report gives the total expenditure in the two years the battery was on the Western Front as 108,271 rounds, a weight of 4,833 tons.There is a list of honours and awards and of promotions and postings out of the battery. The roll of honour gives date of death and place of burial (there were no officers among the dead), and there is a separate roll of the wounded, again with date. Most useful is the diary of events detailing the battery's moves, locations, and periods in action.

Download or read book Kontum written by Thomas P. McKenna and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1972, North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam in what became known as the Easter Offensive. Almost all of the American forces had already withdrawn from Vietnam except for a small group of American advisers to the South Vietnamese armed forces. The 23rd ARVN Infantry Division and its American advisers were sent to defend the provincial capital of Kontum in the Central Highlands. They were surrounded and attacked by three enemy divisions with heavy artillery and tanks but, with the help of air power, managed to successfully defend Kontum and prevent South Vietnam from being cut in half and defeated. Although much has been written about the Vietnam War, little of it addresses either the Easter Offensive or the Battle of Kontum. In Kontum: The Battle to Save South Vietnam, Thomas P. McKenna fills this gap, offering the only in-depth account available of this violent engagement. McKenna, a U.S. infantry lieutenant colonel assigned as a military adviser to the 23rd Division, participated in the battle of Kontum and combines his personal experiences with years of interviews and research from primary sources to describe the events leading up to the invasion and the battle itself. Kontum sheds new light on the actions of U.S. advisers in combat during the Vietnam War. McKenna's book is not only an essential historical resource for America's most controversial war but a personal story of valor and survival.
