    Millard Family History Ancestors of Arthur Ernest Millard Ed Usher 10th December 2012 Dedication to Arthur Ernest Millard This book is dedicated to Arthur Ernest Millard who I first met when I joined the staff of St. Valentine's High School, Ilford, In the course of my work I occasionally met this rather short man of advancing years who seemed to have very strong views on every subject and was adamant that he was always right. In very little time I realised that Arthur was one of a dying breed - he had been trained as an engineer and was very proud of the skills that he possessed. He loved passing on those skills to the children at the school and was only too willing to help anyone that had a problem that he felt he could solve. Over the following decade I became a very good friend with Arthur and in that time learnt much more about his engineering past and about his family, of which he was so proud. Following an apprenticeship at Ilford Films, Arthur ended his main career as Chief Engineer at Plessey with two patents to his credit. A second career started at the school where his skills were valued by everyone. Throughout his life Arthur used his engineering skills to build models of ships which he sailed on local lakes. Sadly a model of a Lake District steamer that Arthur had been working on when he became unwell was never launched. Arthur had been trying to research his family history and had been fascinated by the name of an ancestor - Cyprian Hatt - who had been a coastguard.

    Review Articles Editing Naval Documents: nte Case of Ute War of 1812 by M. STEPHEN SALMON Editing Naval Documents: An Historical Appreciation. [JOYE LEONHART, ed.] Washington: Naval Historical Center, 1984. v, 61 p. The Naval War of 1812: A Documentary History. Volume I : 1812. WILLIAM S. DUDLEY, ed. Washington: Naval Historical Center, 1985. liv, 714 p. illus., maps. ISBN 0-3 18-18798-1 $34.00. In contrast to the historiography of the Second World War, which has reached a high level of sophistication, the naval history of the War of 1812 has hardly progressed beyond the nationalism of Theodore Roosevelt or the navalism of Alfred Mahan. For the United States Navy, the War has become a rite of passage in which that youthful service met the world's most powerful navy in combat and scored impressive victories. The Naval War of 1812: A Documentary Hbtory, is unfortunately part of this rite. Government bodies and universities in the United States have maintained a tradition of publishing hard-copy document collections in all fields of American history. The publication of historical documents is, however, out of fashion in Canada, where archivists and historians have devoted their time to other seemingly more attractive pursuits.l Rear Admiral D.H. Kane, Jr., in his Foreword to Editing Naval Documents: An Historical Appreciation, makes it quite clear that this collection of essays is an official publication. These papers are, in his words, "an ideal way to describe and explain the [United States] navy's support of this form of scholarly activity." The four papers in the collection were originally presented to the Sixth Naval History Symposium at Annapolis, Maryland, in 1983.

  • The Royal Navy's China Station and Britain's East Asian Empire During the 1920S
    Changes and challenges: The Royal Navy's China Station and Britain's East Asian empire during the 1920s Submitted by Matthew Joseph Heaslip, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History, November 2018. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… Page | 1 Abstract: Examining Britain’s position in 1920s East Asia at a point amid changes in the international balance of power, this thesis bridges the gap between the existing imperial and naval accounts of a key transition point in global history. In doing so, it focuses upon the foremost organisation involved in maintaining and supporting the peripheral regions of imperial influence, the Royal Navy’s China Station. The thesis provides an important new segment to help in explaining the wider story of the slow decline of British imperial and naval dominance in the 1920s. Foremost among the findings is an emphasis on how heavily inter-related Britain’s strategies for China and Japan were during the decade. Indeed, China was expected by the Admiralty to play a pivotal role in any future relationship between the British Empire and the increasingly expansionist Japan, which adds a significant new angle to existing discussion of Britain’s far eastern defence strategy.

  • CESARIO-DISSERTATION-2016.Pdf (1.603Mb)
    THE ADMIRALTY, POPULAR NAVALISM, AND THE JOURNALIST AS MIDDLEMAN, 1884-1914 A Dissertation by BRADLEY M. CESARIO Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, R.J.Q. Adams Committee Members, Adam Seipp Joseph G. Dawson James Hannah Head of Department, David Vaught May 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 Bradley M. Cesario ABSTRACT The three decades before the First World War were a period of intense militarism, and in the United Kingdom this meant navalism. By the late Edwardian period the navalist movement had captured Britain’s attention – a movement that paradoxically claimed the Royal Navy was weaker than at any point in its history while presiding over a total revolution in British naval technology and a concurrent unprecedented rise in naval budgets. This dissertation explores the creation, propagation, success and failure of directed navalism between 1884 and 1914. Directed navalism, for the purposes of this project, refers to the cooperation between and support of navalism among three elite national groups: serving naval officers at the level of captain and above (professionals), naval correspondents and editors working for large- circulation national newspapers and periodicals (press), and members of Parliament in both houses, from backbenchers to high Cabinet-level officials, who dealt with navalist issues during the course of their public service careers (politicians). Directed navalism was the bedrock upon which the more popular and ultimately more successful ‘soft’ navalism – penny dreadfuls, the Navy League, fundraising drives, fleet reviews – was built.

  • British First-Class Cruiser Development 1884 – 1909
    The Genesis of a Cruiser Navy: British First-Class Cruiser Development 1884 – 1909 By Scott M. Lindgren Being a thesis submitted for the qualification of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of Salford School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences 2013 Abstract From the middle of the 1880s until the commencement of the Great War 1914-’18 the first-class cruiser was an vital component of the British battlefleet. This was a period in which technology and tactics evolved at an extremely rapid pace, forming the material basis for Sir John Fisher’s ‘Dreadnought Revolution’, in which cruiser qualities of speed, range and offensive power were greatly prized. Throughout this era enormous sums were spent on such types: they were frequently longer than and cost almost as much as their battleship contemporaries, while carrying a near-equivalent armament and possessing significant advantages in both speed and endurance. Despite these capabilities, British first-class cruisers, especially those of the 1890s, are comparatively rarely examined by historians. This thesis fills the gap in the historiography by examining the place and development of the type in the Royal Navy from 1884-1909, and illustrates how they would progress from being a trade-defence vessel, to a genuine alternative to the battleship, and would ultimately form the basic inspiration for all of the service’s first all-big-gun capital ships. It begins by assessing the origins of the type in the mid-Victorian era and considers how the contemporary strategic position and materials drove vessel characteristics, resulting in the development of the first unofficially termed ‘battle-cruisers’ to counter the threat of a Franco-Russian guerre de course employing dedicated raiding types and armed high- speed liners.
