  • In the Shadow of War
    (. o tL ý(-ct 5 /ýkOO IN THE SHADOW OF WAR Continuities and Discontinuities in the construction of the identities masculine of British soldiers, 1914 - 1924 i W" NLARGARET MILLNUN A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirementsof the University of Greenwich for the Degree of Doctor of PHosophy July 2002 ABSTRACT The upheavalsof the cataclysmof the First World War reverberatedthrough every comer of British society, how society was reconstructedafterwards is the subject of enormouscritical debate. This study examineshow masculinitieswere disrupted and. reconstructedduring and after the war. It is a study of British men, previously civilians, who becameservicemen in the First World War. It aims to map the continuitiesand discontinuitiesin the construction of their masculineidentities during war and in its aftermath in the 1920s. Pioneeredby feminist scholarsconcerned with analysingthe historical construction of femininity, the study of gender relations has becomea significant area of historical enquiry. This has resulted in a substantialbody of historical scholarshipon the history of masculinitiesand the increasingvisibility of men as genderedsubjects whose masculinities are lived and imagined. This thesis is informed by, and engageswith, the histories of masculinities. It also draws on recent historical researchon the cultural legacy of the war. The first chapter explores the subjectiveresponses to becominga soldier through an examinationof personalmemoirs; largely unpublishedsources drawn from memoriesand written or recordedby men as narrativesof their wartime experiences.The subject of the secondchapter is shell shock. The outbreak of shell shock among the troops aroused anxietiesabout masculinity. The competing versionsof masculinitieswhich emergedin military and medical discoursesis examined. Returning to individual memoirs,the chapter examineshow men producedtheir own representationsof the shell shockedman contesting other versions.

(London, 1924) Source notes: - Ernest Thurtle was a Labour Party politician who headed the campaign to abolish the military death penalty after the war’s end. It is worth considering how Thurtle may have been less concerned with the supposed inequity of military law than the opportunity to attack the army itself. - His stated objective was to ‘convince the public of the barbarity and gross injustice of this particular part of Military Law’. - At the time of publication the relevant records remained in the hands of the War Office, and access to these records was not permitted. He therefore relied on eyewitness testimony and the liberal use of hearsay evidence in the form of personal letters. It has been remarked that, rather than being an account of the executions carried out during the First World War, it would be more accurate to regard Shootings at Dawn as evidence of the impact executions had on morale and on certain parts of British society; namely, those who recoiled from the conservatism inherent in justifying the conduct of modern wars.

  • Making Meaning Together: Information, Rumor, and Propaganda in British Fiction of the First World War
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MAKING MEANING TOGETHER: INFORMATION, RUMOR, AND PROPAGANDA IN BRITISH FICTION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR. Rebecca Borden, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Associate Professor Peter Mallios, Department of English. Through an examination of fiction by H.G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, and John Buchan, this dissertation examines information as a category as it exists under conditions of modernity, and how the contours of and changes in definitions and understandings of modern information become more visible, and are likely accelerated by, the complex information challenges brought about by the disruptions of the First World War. Given that “information” is a key building-block in understanding systems of knowledge in modernity, this dissertation incorporates theoretical constructs describing information drawn from a variety of disciplines, all of which circle around the problems and concerns of the increasingly saturated, complex, and untethered nature of information as experienced by an individual in modern life. This project also highlights the role that rumor plays in modernity. The war years bring an expansion of government-directed information control, both in the form of actively produced propaganda and in the form of censorship, disrupting the conduits along which information travels under normal conditions. Rumor, generally considered a pre-modern form of communication, remains a part of modern information systems and provides a mechanism for making meaning when other sources of information begin to fail. This dissertation also considers how “wartime” fiction, as a category distinct from pre-war and post-war fiction, is a revealing domain of literature in its own right, and one that has been overlooked in scholarship on literature of the First World War.

  • Counter-Espionage and Security in Great Britain During the First World War
    BqEst Historial Ran © 1986 Longman Group Limited London 0015-B266/86/18310635/J03.00 Counter-espionage and security in Great Britain during the First World War IN August 1914 there were two distinct organizations in Britain concerned with counter-espionage. The first was a small and very secret group of army officers with the designation MO(t), which had been working outside the War Office with substantial independence, and which managed to retain its freedom of action after the outbreak Downloaded from of war. These officers worked under the command of Major Vernon Kell, who had founded the unit in October 1909 as part of the government's Secret Service Bureau; and although on mobilization they were absorbed by the War Office as subsection MOj(g) of the Directorate of Military Operations, this was only an administrative http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ manoeuvre — Kell's group in fact remaining 'outside the War Office, retaining only one room in the main building as a post office.'1 This small group of experts - which on 4 August 1914 included only nine officers - existed officially 'to expose and frustrate the clandestine activities of enemy aliens under whatever form they may be en- countered'2 and was free to develop its investigations in whichever direction its commander thought fit. In the years before the war this independence had allowed Kell to establish links with numerous at University of Technology Sydney on April 19, 2012 permanent civil servants and police officers, and to carry out investiga- tions of resident German and Austro-Hungarian aliens in such secrecy that in 1914, as his deputy Eric Holt Wilson recalled, 'even the Chiefs of the Fighting Services and Secretaries of State were scarcely aware of the existence of this immensely powerful and complete Security organization.'3 The second unit concerned with counter-espionage was the Special Branch of the Criminal Investigation Department at 1.
