Book excerpt: The First and Second World Wars had a profound effect on all parts of Great Britain, and the comparatively isolated and rural island of Anglesey was no exception. Men were recruited and conscripted into the armed forces in large numbers and some parts of Anglesey, such as the port town of Holyhead, sprang to life. Many Anglesey men found themselves in exotic locations all across the world, while others lost their lives on the killing fields of Western Europe during the First World War. Many soldiers wrote letters home describing their experiences: good, bad and downright bizarre. Airships were deployed during the First World War and RAF airbases were established during the Second World War. The wars left a legacy that can still be seen on the island today.

Book excerpt: "Geography has accorded Anglesey a greater sense of identity than other counties of Wales. Despite its relative isolation, Anglesey gained early recognition. As the last stronghold of the Druids it became a target for the Roman legions. Viking connections gave the island its English name. During the Age of the Princes the supremacy of Aberffraw overshadowed all other Welsh seats of government. Beaumaris castle stands as a symbol of the English conquest, built to quash the spirit of independence." "Other forces would exert a decisive influence: the strong maritime links, industrialization associated with copper mining at Parys Mountain, improved communications following the spanning of the Menai Straits, and the impact of two World Wars. All are given their vital place alongside developments in social and economic life, religion, education, politics and Welsh culture. This is the first book to present an integrated outline survey of Anglesey's history from prehistoric times to the changes and challenges of the modern age."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis War and Society in Medieval Wales 633-1283 by : Sean Davies
Download or read book War and Society in Medieval Wales 633-1283 written by Sean Davies and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Wales from the end of the Roman period to the conquest by Edward I in 1283 is unknown to most, but recent historiography has opened up the source material and allowed for a modern, critical reappraisal. The development of the country is traced within the context of the rest of post-Roman western Europe in a study that is a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in military history and the history of Wales in relation to its neighbours in Britain and on the continent.

Book Synopsis The Gentry of North Wales in the Later Middle Ages by : Antony D Carr
Download or read book The Gentry of North Wales in the Later Middle Ages written by Antony D Carr and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the landed gentry of north Wales from the Edwardian conquest in the thirteenth century to the incorporation of Wales in the Tudor state in the sixteenth. The limitation of the discussion to north Wales is deliberate; there has often been a tendency to treat Wales as a single region, but it is important to stress that, like any other country, it is itself made up of regions and that a uniformity based on generalisation cannot be imposed. This book describes the development of the gentry in one part of Wales from an earlier social structure and an earlier pattern of land tenure, and how the gentry came to rule their localities. There have been a number of studies of the medieval English gentry, usually based on individual counties, but the emphasis in a Welsh study is not necessarily the same as that in one relating to England. The rich corpus of medieval poetry addressed to the leaders of native society and the wealth of genealogical material and its potential are two examples of this difference in emphasis.

Book Synopsis Sport and the Military by : Tony Mason
Download or read book Sport and the Military written by Tony Mason and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On battleships, behind the trenches of the Western Front and in the midst of the Desert War, British servicemen and women have played sport in the least promising circumstances. When 400 soldiers were asked in Burma in 1946 what they liked about the Army, 108 put sport in first place - well ahead of comradeship and leave - and this book explores the fascinating history of organised sport in the life of officers and other ranks of all three British services from 1880–1960. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book examines how organised sport developed in the Victorian army and navy, became the focus of criticism for Edwardian army reformers, and was officially adopted during the Great War to boost morale and esprit de corps. It shows how service sport adapted to the influx of professional sportsmen, especially footballers, during the Second World War and the National Service years.
