    American Enterprise Institute Web event — UK Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace discusses strategic priorities Introduction: Mackenzie Eaglen, Senior Fellow, AEI Remarks: Ben Wallace, Secretary of State for Defence, UK Ministry of Defence Discussion: Mackenzie Eaglen, Senior Fellow, AEI Ben Wallace, Secretary of State for Defence, UK Ministry of Defence Tuesday, July 13, 2021 12:00–1:00 p.m. Event page: https://www.aei.org/events/uk-secretary-of-state-for-defence-ben- wallace-discusses-strategic-priorities/ Mackenzie Eaglen: Good afternoon. Welcome to the American Enterprise Institute’s live web event on the strategic priorities for the United States and the United Kingdom. My name is Mackenzie Eaglen. I’m a resident fellow here on national security and military budget issues. It’s an honor and a privilege to be joined today by the United Kingdom’s Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace. We’re coming to you from the AEI library today here in Washington, DC. And it’s remarkable to meet again in person, sir, after so long of a break. The Right Hon. Ben Wallace MP was appointed secretary of state for defense in July of 2019. He started his career in the British army, commissioning from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and saw active service in Northern Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, and Central America. He was mentioned in dispatches while on operations in the 1990s. After leaving the army, Secretary Wallace joined the aerospace company QinetiQ, where he gained experience in the defense industry writ large. He first entered politics in 1999 as a member of the Scottish parliament before being elected to the UK House of Parliament in 2005.

As no Canadian Air Force yet existed, thousands of Canadians fought the First World War in British flying units. Canadians first served with the Royal Flying Corps (rfc) or with the Royal Naval Air Service (rnas). These two services amalgamated on 1 April 1918 into the Royal Air Force (raf). In total, an estimated 13,000–22,000 individuals from Canada joined the British flying services. In 1924, the Royal Canadian Air Force (rcaf) was created. With the outbreak of war in September 1939, the rcaf was able to draw on an existing cadre of officers and airmen and also attracted experienced personnel from private enterprise. By 1945, close to 250,000 men and women had served in the rcaf at home and abroad. This guide will illustrate the process of researching an individual’s service, from the essential starting point of service documents to supporting resources for detail and further discovery.

  • Henry Grace DCM Sergeant 6830, 1St Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry

    Henry Grace DCM Sergeant 6830, 1St Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry

    Henry Grace DCM Sergeant 6830, 1st Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. Henry Grace was born in 1885 and baptised on 21 July in Amersham. He was the eldest son of Thomas and Frances Fanny Grace, formerly Eggleton, living at Washington Row, Amersham. Thomas was a general farm labourer but had previously served in the 10th Hussars during the Afghan and Egyptian Campaigns 1878 – 1880. His five sons all served in H.M.Forces during the 1914-18 war. Henry enlisted as a private in the regular army of the 1st Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (OBLI) in 1901, in High Wycombe. His occupation was recorded as gardener’s labourer. At the time of the 1911 Census he was a Lance Corporal serving with the military in India. The 1st Battalion OBLI was part of the 17th Brigade, 6th Poona Division, and left India for Mesopotamia (now Iraq) in November 1914. There, the Battalion took part in the campaign against the Ottoman forces that ruled the country. Henry’s Medal Roll Index card showed that he entered the Asiatic theatre of war on 5 December 1914. In December Henry was mentioned in dispatches and nine months later, after promotion to a sergeant, he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for conspicuous gallantry at Kut-al-Amara (Mesopotamia). On the 28th September 1915, he sent messages to the artillery by heliograph under heavy fire, although he had to stand in full view of the enemy’s redoubts to do so. The British had taken Kut and advanced towards Baghdad but were stopped at Ctesiphon and forced to retreat.

    Nursing in Wartime Step 1: Military Nursing

    Library Subject Guide: Nursing Family History Welcome to the RCN Library and Heritage Services subject guide to nursing family history. We have split the guide into three sections depending on when your ancestor qualified, with a fourth section for nursing in wartime. To find out which guide you need you can use the following sum for an estimated qualification date: Year of birth + 18 years (earliest age to enter training) + 2 years (shortest training length) We hope that you find this useful and wish you lucK with your research. Nursing in Wartime Step 1: Military Nursing Before 1850, British military nursing services were made up of male nurses only. Records begin with applications to nurse during the Crimea war. The National Archives have put together a very thorough guide to researching your military nursing ancestors that can be found here: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/military-nursing/ The National Archives have also put together three separate guides for each of the forces as follows: British Army Nurses: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research- guides/british-army-nurses Royal Navy Nurses: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research- guides/royal-navy-nurses Royal Air Force Nurses: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research- guides/royal-air-force-nurse Medals: Campaign Medals 1914-1920 British Army medal cards have been digitised and are available through the National Archives website: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/medal-index-cards-ww1.htm British Nurses who served overseas would have been awarded the standard campaign medals depending on where they served.
  • Medals of the First World

    Medals of the First World

    The 1914 and 1914/15 Stars The 1914 Star was awarded for service in France and Belgium between 4th August and 22nd No- vember 1914. Recipients of this medal were amongst the very first British soldiers to enter the war and were likely to have been enlisted prior to the outbreak of the war. Although there was a surge of reenlistment the new recruits required basic training before being sent to the front. The 1914/15 version was awarded to anyone who fought in France and Belgium between 23rd November and 31st December 1915, or anyone who fought oversees in 1914 and 1915. These troops were likely to have enlisted at the outbreak of war and went to the front after training. Victory Medal This medal was awarded to anyone who served in a theatre of war at any time during the First World War. The rainbow ribbon is designed to show how a rainbow of nations allied to fight the war. For this reason each allied country issued its own version of this medal. The common features were the image of Winged Victory and the rainbow ribbon. Nearly 6.5 million were awarded to soldiers from the UK and colonies. The recipients name, regiment and number will be inscribed on the rim. War Medal This medal was issued to anyone who served overseas in the armed forces during the war. Any- one eligible for the Victory Medal also received a War Medal, however people who served over- seas in areas which did not see any fighting, for example India, would only have received the War Medal.
