Download or read book The Newcastle Commercials written by Ian S. Johnson and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 1111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The planning for the raising of what was to become 16th (Service) Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, started within two days of the outbreak of the war. The initial efforts took on a more professional look within a month, when the Newcastle Chambers of Commerce set about raising money and aiming to raise several battalions in response to Lord Kitchener's call for men. The outcome was a Pals battalion, the 1st Newcastle Commercials. Arriving in France at the end of 1915, the battalion, like so many others of its type, had its first experience of a major action on the Somme on 1st July 1916, in its case in the forlorn attempt to capture the German front line village of Thiepval. The outcome is well known; a disaster that ravaged the battalion's ranks. However, the battalion was reinforced, reorganized, and took its part in actions at Ovillers and along the Ancre as the battle grinder on over the next four and a half months. In 1917 it was involved in the advance on the Hindenburg Line and was then transferred to the North Sea coast, with the intention of taking part in the daring plan to launch a major amphibious landing behind the German lines in the summer. This was thwarted by a masterly pre-emptive German counter stroke. By the end of the year the battalion was engaged in operations in the northern part of the Salient after the Battle of Third Ypres (Passchendaele) had formally ended. In early February 1918 the battalion was disbanded as part of a general reorganization of the BEF, which saw divisions losing three of their twelve infantry battalions. In outline it is a common story; but, as for all the Pals battalions, its unusual origins and its very close connection to a local area, in this case Newcastle, provides an enduring fascination for today's generation. Ian Johnson has worked extraordinarily hard to gather documents from members of the battalion - letters, diaries, and recollections - as well as numerous photographs. He has prepared extensive appendices on its membership and its casualties. The outcome is a fitting tribute to these young men from Newcastle men of a century ago who, for whatever motive, answered their country's call, all too many of whom paid for it with their lives or their health.

Download or read book British Redcoat vs French Fusilier written by Stuart Reid and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a unique glimpse into the experiences of regular British and French infantry during the French and Indian War, Stuart Reid reveals what it was like to fight in three battles at the height of the struggle for Canada: La Belle-Famille, the Plains of Abraham and Sainte-Foy. In 1755, Britain and France both decided to escalate a low intensity frontier war that had started the previous year by dispatching regular troops to their respective colonies in North America. Far from home, both sides' equipment and tactics were initially more suited to the European theatre. As the war ground on, however, combat doctrine evolved as both armies learned lessons that would be utilized by succeeding generations of soldiers. Packed with first-hand accounts, dramatic illustrations and a technical analysis of the changing nature of warfare on the American continent, this book puts readers in the shoes of the combatants who played a pivotal role in shaping the future of North America.

Download or read book Fusiliers written by Mark Urban and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Revolution from a unique perspective--as seen through the eyes of a redcoat regiment. From Lexington Green in 1775 to Yorktown in 1781, one British regiment marched thousands of miles and fought a dozen battles to uphold British rule in America: the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Their story, and that of all the soldiers England sent across the Atlantic, is one of the few untold sagas of the American Revolution, one that sheds light on the war itself and offers surprising, at times unsettling, insights into the way the war was conducted on both sides. Drawing on a wealth of previously unused primary accounts, and with compelling narrative flair, Mark Urban reveals the inner life of the 23rd Regiment, the Fusiliers-and through it, of the British army as a whole-as it fought one of the pivotal campaigns of world history. Describing how British troops adopted new tactics and promoted new leaders, Urban shows how the foundations were laid for the redcoats' subsequent heroic performance against Napoleon. Fighting the climactic battles of the Revolution in the American south, the Fusiliers became one of the crack regiments of the army, never believing themselves to have been defeated. But the letters from members of the 23rd and other archival accounts reveal much more than battle details. Living the Revolution day-to-day, the Fusiliers witnessed acts of kindness and atrocity on both sides unrecorded in histories of the war. Their observations bring the conflict down to human scale and provide a unique insight into soldiering in the late eighteenth century. Fusiliers will challenge the prevailing stereotypes of the enemy redcoats and offer an invaluable new perspective on a defining period in American history.

Book excerpt: Ghosts of Good Times: South Louisiana Dance Halls Past and Present examines a world of Cajun dance halls, Zydeco clubs, Chitlin' Circuit R&B night clubs, Swamp-Pop Honkytonks and other venues that at one time were prevalent throughout the region. Photographs by Philip Gould blend architectural imagery of buildings still standing with historic photographs of the clubs that he took in their heyday. Herman Fuselier and other writers provide a rich selection of historic accounts and essays about their personal experiences in the clubs. The book also examines the dance hall scene today and how the venues have changed. The music following remains strong and people still come to dance. The surviving old dance halls and newer venues are still in full swing. Old or new, they are icons, a proud south Louisiana legacy of Good Times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern Ireland 1994.There was a rumour in the air, one which nobody dared to whisper. Some wouldn't even contemplate its potential consequences. Microscopic green shoots had appeared, and individuals with vision had nurtured its development which would hopefully create a pathway to peace. Common folk sought to grasp their freedom from the paramilitaries that had consumed and controlled their daily lives. Soon they would have the liberty to walk the streets without fear of being stopped and searched by forces of the crown carrying guns. Shops no longer being blown to smithereens and being forced to donate their hard earned money for a cause they no longer cared for or supported. Peace and reconciliation after twenty-five years of violence and chaos. Could it be possible? The troubles had led to instability and uncertainty which stagnated economic growth and halted investment into an already impoverished society, bitterly divided along religious lines. Intense prejudice had created an unjust and unworkable one-sided culture of haves and have nots. Thatcher's hardliners had gone, substituted by a more forward-thinking government who soon grasped that war was expensive. The Republican movement had realised that the Armalite and the ballot box were more convincing to their supporters than the long war of attrition. Caught in the headlights were the Unionists wanting to remain loyal to the British state and opposing every move towards 'Irishness.' How would this rumour of peace affect their vice-like grip of the Loyalist community? Peace also brought division; the men of violence ignored the green shoots, arguing that settlement could only be achieved with the total annihilation of the opposition. These men had a powerful voice within some alienated communities that refused to conform to any form of influence by a parliament sitting across the Irish Sea. Would these men vote for a ceasefire and return to their fields, businesses, and trades? It was a conundrum, discussion was the only way to resolve the impasse and appease the agitators. In London, Belfast and Derry secret moves were afoot to further strengthen the green shoots, whilst in South Armagh the flames of war were being ever-increasingly being fanned, to create an unstoppable firestorm.
