A French invasion was feared. In preparation for this, a request was put forth to the Parliament for the formation of more regiments. Colonel H. C. Wylly, C.B neatly compiles the history of The Manchester Regiment, from its earliest conception in 1758, through to 1883. The history of this powerful regiment is filled with battles and victories. The men's strength, courage and dedication are captured in this monumental piece of work. Despite the relative infancy of the Regiment, the men were called upon in the battle against France. There was no holding back, the men were fully armed and prepared for the battle that was to come. Further action came during the American War of Independence including the Battle of Bunker Hill. Wylly, in this historical account provides the reader with a sense of importance that surrounded the 63rd Regiment, despite having been newly formed. The Regiment's loses are also meticulously detailed. However, Wylly also shows the regiment's darker side. Around 1770, a significant rise in crime saw the expulsion or imprisonment of several men. In 1798 Britain faced a different war with France, and fresh fears of invasion. Further regiments were formed. Among them, the 96th Regiment of Foot, which would later be merged with the 63rd to form the Manchester Regiment. Initially formed as the Minorca Regiment, it consisted of German Speaking Spanish prisoners of war. Famous for withstanding the powerful French Cavalry at the Battle of Alexandria, the Minorca regiment earned accolade after accolade. Also included are the actual communications that were sent in relation to the movements of the regiment, instructions and orders from the King, as well as the Court's opinion on the crimes committed. Volume II From the fields of South Africa to the shell holes of Flanders, the Manchester Regiment fought hard.

Download or read book A Deep Cry written by Anne Powell and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives, deaths, poetry, diaries and extracts from letters of sixty-six soldier-poets are brought together in this limited edition of Anne Powell's unique anthology; a fitting commemoration for the centenary of the First World War. These poems are not simply the works of well-known names such as Wilfred Owen – though they are represented – they have been painstakingly collected from a multitude of sources, and the relative obscurity of some of the voices makes the message all the more moving. Moreover, all but five of these soldiers lie within forty-five miles of Arras. Their deaths are described here in chronological order, with an account of each man's last battle. This in itself provides a revealing gradual change in the poetry from early naïve patriotism to despair about the human race and the bitterness of 'Dulce et Decorum Est'.

Download or read book The Edwin Fox written by Boyd Cothran and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It began as a small, slow, and unadorned sailing vessel—in a word, ordinary. Later, it was a weary workhorse in the age of steam. But the story of the Edwin Fox reveals how an everyday merchant ship drew together a changing world and its people in an extraordinary age of rising empires, sweeping economic transformation, and social change. This fascinating work of global history offers a vividly detailed and engaging narrative of globalization writ small, viewed from the decks and holds of a single vessel. The Edwin Fox connected the lives and histories of millions, though most never even saw it. Built in Calcutta in 1853, the Edwin Fox was chartered by the British navy as a troop transport during the Crimean War. In the following decades, it was sold, recommissioned, and refitted by an increasingly far-flung constellation of militaries and merchants. It sailed to exotic ports carrying luxury goods, mundane wares, and all kinds of people: not just soldiers and officials but indentured laborers brought from China to Cuba, convicts and settlers being transported from the British Empire to western Australia and New Zealand—with dire consequences for local Indigenous peoples—and others. But the power of this story rests in the everyday ways people, nations, economies, and ideas were knitted together in this foundational era of our modern world.
