Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of this Journal by Naval Cadet Edward S. Watson was unknown to Commander W. B. Rowbotham R. N. when he edited the definitive work The Naval Brigades in the Indian Mutiny 1857-58 for the Navy Records Society in 1947.Whilst Major-General G. L. Verney made cosiderable use of Cadet Watson s Letters to his mother in his story of H.M.S. Shannnon s Naval Brigade, published in The Devil s Wind , this Cadet s Journal - covering the entire period this particular Naval Brigade was ashore - does not feature in his Bibliography.Captain Oliver J. Jones R.N., who served in the Indian Mutiny as a Volunteer with the 53rd Regiment, makes reference to the author of this Cadet s Journal in his Recollections of a Winter Campaign in India 1857-58 with the remarks that: Peel s two aides-de-camp, two fine little mids about 15 years old - Lascelles and Watson - by name, who used to stick to him like his shadow, under whatever fire he went, and seemed perfectly indifferent to the whizzing of bullets or the plunging of cannon-balls. He might also have added that Lascelles was nearly a foot taller than the somewhat diminutive figure of Watson, who stood only 4 feet 5 inches in height.Edward Spencer Watson, born in Rockingham Castle, Northants., joined the service aged 13 years as a Naval Cadet aboard H.M.S. Shannon on 11 September 1856.Promoted to Midshipman exactly two years later prior to his temporary appointment to H.M.S. Victory when Shannon was paid off on 15 January 1859.After serving five months aboard H.M.S. Royal Albert he was sent to H.M.S. St. George in June 1860 with the rank of Acting Sub Lieutenant, but resigned his Commission in the Royal Navy on 6 April 1863.He then transferred his allegiance to the Army, becoming a Cornet in the 10th (Prince of Wales s Own Regiment) Hussars with seniority of 12 June 1863 - receiving promotion to Lieutenant on 13 July 1867, but in the Spring of 1873 he resigned his Army Commission. He died in 1889.

This book was released on 2015-12-05 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before 1941 the United States had no intelligence service worthy of the name. While each military department had its own parochial tactical intelligence apparatus and the State Department maintained a haphazard collection of 'country files' there was no American equivalent to the 400-year-old British espionage establishment or the German Abwehr. No one in Washington was charged with putting the jigsaw puzzle of fact, rumor, and foreign innuendo together to see what pictures might develop or what portions might be missing. Even those matters of vital interest to policy makers remained uncoordinated, unevaluated, uninterrupted, and frequently in the wrong hands. That was in 1941. Four years later the scene was forever altered. The organization which achieved this dramatic turnabout was the Office of Strategic Services, better known by its initials: OSS. Headed by William J. Donovan, a World War 1 hero, Republican politician, and millionaire lawyer, the OSS infiltrated agents into every country of occupied Europe and raised guerillas armies in most. This book examines the small but representative role played by Marines assigned to this country's first central intelligence agency. In so doing, it provides the first serious attempt to chronicle a totally forgotten chapter of Marine Corps history.

Book Synopsis Hitler And Spain by : Robert H. Whealey
Download or read book Hitler And Spain written by Robert H. Whealey and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Civil War, begun in July 1936, was a preliminary round of World War II. Hitler's and Mussolini's cooperation with General Franco resulted in the Axis agreement of October 1936 and the subsequent Pact of Steel of May 1939, immediately following the end of the Civil War. This study presents comprehensive documentation of Hitler's use of the upheaval in Spain to strengthen the Third Reich diplomatically, ideologically, economically, and militarily. While the last great cause drew all eyes to Western Europe and divided the British and especially the French internally, Hitler could pursue territorial gains in Eastern Europe. This book, based on little-known German records and recently opened Spanish archives, fills a major gap in our understanding of one of the 20th century's most significant conflicts. Its comprehensive treatment of German-Spanish relations from 1936 through 1939, bringing together diplomatic, economic, military, and naval aspects, will be of great value to specialists in European diplomacy and the political economy of Nazi imperialism, as well as to all students of the Spanish Civil War.
