  • Capt James Gammell 1797-1893
    Capt James Gammell 1797-1893 James Gammell was the 4th child and 2nd son of Lt. General Andrew Gammell and Martha Stageldoir, and was born on 3 January 17971. We know nothing of his early life, nor any details of his education, and the first definite information we have is that he was gazetted as an Ensign in the 59th Foot in 1813 at the age of sixteen and a half2. It is understood that this commission was presented to him by Prince Frederick, Duke of York, who, as mentioned elsewhere was a friend of his father's3. Immediately on being commissioned, James proceeded to the Peninsula War and served in the Peninsula from December 1813 to the end of the war in April 1814. He fought at the battles of Nive4 and at the siege of Bayonne and the James as a young officer sortie from Bayonne in 18145 and received the Military General Service Medal 1793-1814, with a clasp for Nive. He became a Lieutenant in 18156, saw service with the Sicilian Regiment, 61st Foot, and 64th Foot7 and spent some years of his service in the West Indies, before finally retiring from the Army with the rank of Captain in the Gordon Highlanders (92nd Foot) in September 18258. In 1816, when he was nineteen, and soon after his father's death, his grandfather, James Gammell, the Banker, purchased for him the estate of Ardiffery near Cruden Bay in North Aberdeenshire. The purchase was made jointly, 'in life rent and fee respectively', which in fact meant that the income and title were vested in James, and only reverted to his grandfather in the event of the premature death of the young James.

  • Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War
    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

  • Memories of William Ulla Balletta of Bedfordshire Lost Her Horse William to Acute Grass Sickness on April 30Th 2011, a Day Which Is Forever Etched on Her Mind
    EQUINE NEWS Equine Grass Sickness Fund Patron - HRH The Princess Royal Chairman – Mrs James Gammell Ambassador – Mark Johnston Spring / Summer 2012 Memories of William Ulla Balletta of Bedfordshire lost her horse William to acute grass sickness on April 30th 2011, a day which is forever etched on her mind. The shock of losing William to a disease she had never even heard of spurred Ulla to raise money, and also awareness of grass sickness, so that other owners might not feel so helpless, and know the simple steps they can take to help protect their horse. Here Ulla tells her story. I will never forget that day, it was heartbreaking. It all happened so quickly, one minute I had a happy healthy horse, 24 hours later he was gone without warning. His symptoms started on the 29th April, the day of Prince William’s wedding. When I brought him in from the paddock he was not himself, he seemed depressed and was not eating or drinking, which was not like him at all. When the vet arrived he diagnosed him with colic and said his only chance was surgery. I remember him saying how tough William was as, on the outside you could not tell by looking at him how ill he was, but his heart rate had gone up to 80 (by the time we got to hospital his heart rate was 100). When we arrived at hospital he was checked over by the vet, and that was when grass sickness was first mentioned. I was warned that William was very ill.

AMERICAN THEATRE From April 18,1776, to May 8,1776 AMERICAN THEATRE From April 18, 1776, to May 8, 1776 SUMMARY Toward the end of April 1776, the war in America was at a pause - a lull before the storm. Admiral Shuldham had arrived at Halifax with Howe's dispirited army. The Massachusetts authorities were cleaning up the debris and appraising the damage wrought by the British before their departure from Boston. The siege of Quebec was at a stalemate. Com- modore Hopkins' fleet lay in New London, its crews decimated by sickness, and about to seek a safer haven in the Providence River. Privateering, voted by the Continental Congress, had been too recently authorized to show results as yet. General Washington, at New York, was preparing defenses to receive the enemy attack, which he wisely anticipated. On the British side, General Sir Henry Clinton, off Cape Fear, impatiently awaited the arrival of the long expected fleet under Sir Peter Parker, and Lord Cornwallis' five thousand men, for the proposed invasion of North Carolina. There had been a few naval actions; John Barry's cap- ture of the sloop Edward, and Captain James Nicholson's brush with the sloop Otter in the upper Chesapeake Bay.

POINT OF FAILURE PJ MC CARTY – UNIVERSITY OF WOLVERHAMPTON ABSTRACT By the summer of 1940 the British Army had suffered two simultaneous strategic defeats in Norway and France. Both had led to hurried and ignominious evacuations. A popular misconception contends that this led to a wholesale clearing out of the British Army’s command structure in order to start again, and that many officers suffered the loss of their careers in the necessity to rebuild an army both to withstand invasion and enable victory over Nazi Germany. This thesis contends that this belief is misplaced, and that rather than automatically ending the careers of all involved, some officers would progress and even thrive after 1940 in varying degrees.

  • “Sig” Unander (1913 – 1978) Was a Distinguished Member of the “The Greatest Generation”
    Portland, OR [email protected] 503-319-6358 “When the war ended, more than twelve million men and women put their uniforms aside and returned to civilian life. They went back to work at their old jobs or started small businesses; they became big-city cops and firemen; they finished their degrees or enrolled in college for the first time; they became schoolteachers,” ― Tom Brokaw, The Greatest Generation Sigfrid Benson “Sig” Unander (1913 – 1978) was a distinguished member of the “The Greatest Generation”. He was born the grandson of Oregon lumberman and philanthropist Simon Benson. After attending Harvard Law School he was appointed Executive Assistant to Gov. Charles A. Sprague and completed foundational work for the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS). As WWII approached, Unander resigned to volunteer for Military service. In 1942 he was promoted to CPT and sent to North Africa, one of the first American officers to land with invasion forces in Algeria for Operation Torch. Fluent in French, he did liaison work with the Free French and British Commands. Promoted to MAJ, he performed essential security co- ordination for FDR’s conferences at Teheran and Cairo. He then administrated Winston Churchill’s 3-week stay in Marrakesh, Morocco planning the invasion of Anzio. This was followed by involvement in planning invasions into southern France and Germany. By the end of the “…to a Comrade-in-Arms” War he was decorated by four foreign governments. After the war, Unander rose rapidly in state politics, becoming Chairman of the Oregon Republican Party in 1948. In 1952 / ‘56 he was elected to two terms as State Treasurer.
