Weapons and war” Reviewed 9 October 2015 This is a great museum if you are male, into war, like weapons of destruction etc. I had never seen it before, and as we were parked next to Clifford's Tower (it is is right opposite) my husband wanted to take a look. I tried to muster enthusiasm but it was not for me as just houses weapons and armour from various points in history, along with information. Visited September 2015 http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ ShowUserReviews-g186346-d4154049- r317525883-The_York_Army_Museum- York_North_Yorkshire_England.html# “Hidden Jem” Reviewed 10 October 2015 This is a small but really well presented military museum. Specifically dealing with the Royal Dragoon Guards, and the Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire, the history covers about 300years. The staff, mostly volunteers, are enthusiastic and keen to help and chat. If you are into military history this is a great way to spend a coupled of hours. However, it is not just for men into war - It traces our social history, which sadly seems to involve almost perpetual conflict. I loved it for that reason, I am not the least bit militaristic but appreciate the horror and heroism humans arei capable.

    Army Secretariat Army Headquarters IDL 24 Blenheim Building Marlborough Lines Andover Hampshire, SP11 8HJ United Kingdom Ref: FOI2017/10087/13/04/79464 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.army.mod.uk XXX XXXXXXXXXXX 5 December 2017 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dear XXXXXX, Thank you for your email of 14 October in which you clarified your request of 6 October to the following : ‘In particular please clarify what you mean by ‘people from Scotland’. Are you seeking information regarding individuals who identify themselves as being Scottish regardless of where they live now, or people who currently have a Scottish address regardless of their background or country of origin? Please note that for the MOD Joint Personnel Administration, some of the nationality options an individual can record themselves as include ‘British’, ‘Scottish’ or ‘British Scottish’. I was mainly looking for those having joined the Army from a Scottish address as I’m looking at how many people located in Scotland join the Army. Further clarification is required concerning the second part of your request - please clarify if you want Corps and Infantry Regiment (In essence Cap badge) or Corps and Infantry totals. Please note that a proportion of those who joined the untrained strength in 2016 may still be in training. Yes please, looking for Cap Badge of entrants from Scotland should this information exist. Finally please confirm that you require the information for both parts of your request by Financial Years 2014, 2015 & 2016. Yes please, If the information exists for each year then I would be grateful for this. If this is significantly time consuming then 2016 would be sufficient.’ I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

  • A Heavy Brigade Charger?
    A HEAVY BRIGADE CHARGER? BARNEY 51ATTINGLY ordered to provide volunteers for service with the 5th Dragoon Guards. Lemmon (alias Topham) was one of 15 volunteers from the 7th who were selected, transferring to the 5th Dragoon Guards (regimental number 1237) on April 1, 1854. The 5th Dragoon Guards left Queenstown on the 27th of May with a strength of 19 officers, 295 other ranks, and 295 horses. His 1870 officer’s papers confirm that Lemmon departed with his regiment. The regiment’s commanding officer, the Hon. James Scarlett, was selected to command the Heavy Brigade while the regiment’s Major was selected to command the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone. Consequently, the 5th Dragoon Guards began their Crimea campaign without their two most senior officers. Major T. le Marchant, late 7th Dragoon Guards, was appointed commanding officer but this choice turned out to be unpopular and no one was disappointed to see him leave when his health broke down in August. However, this left the regiment without a field officer and command devolved to Captain A.V.D. Burton. Lack of an experienced commanding officer and illness was to cause the regiment much difficulty early in the campaign. The 5th Dragoon Guards arrived in Varna on June 12th and settled into camp at Devna. Cholera broke out on about the 20th of July and the 5th Dragoon Guards Figure 1: William Denis Lemmon. suffered heavily, with several dozen men succumbing to the disease. This gave Lemmon his first chance for William Denis Lemmon (Figure 1) was born on advancement and, according to the muster rolls, he was September 8, 1833 and enlisted in the 7th (Princess promoted to Corporal on August 13, 1854.
