Elandslaagte Roll, Any Corrections Or Additional Data, Please Email the Information To: [email protected]
Elandslaagte Account and Medal Roll ` Update #2 By David J Biggins Introduction to update #2 – March 2009 This update builds on and expands update #1. All the information that was contained in the previous update has been carried forward to this update. The main changes in this update are: Officer biographies have been expanded. QSA roll entries such as ‘deceased’ or ‘died’ have been replaced, where possible, by the cause and date of death. Occurrences of QSAs with clasp Elandslaagte that have appeared on the market in the last two years have been included. Information from the supplementary and KSA rolls has been included. This work will complete in update #3. The details of 5 new Elandslaagte recipients have been added. This update can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.angloboerwar.com/medalroll/update.htm. This update amends the details of some of the Elandslaagte recipients but is not a full listing. The update needs to be used in conjunction with the Elandslaagte Medal Roll book which is available from Token Publishing: Token Publishing Ltd, Orchard House, Duchy Road, Honiton, Devon, EX14 1YD. Telephone: 1404 46972, fax: 01404 44788, email: [email protected], website: http://tokenpublishing.com. The medal roll information is organised by unit. Within the unit listing, the officers appear first in rank order. These are followed by the NCOs and men who are listed in alphabetical order. The medals rolls have been reformatted so that they are now in portrait layout and the clasps on the QSA appear as they would on the medal in a list rather than separate columns. -

Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800–Present Edited by Nikolaj Bijleveld, Colin Grittner, David E
Reforming Senates This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories. Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep their senates relevant. Nikolaj Bijleveld, historian, is a staff member at the University of Groningen. Colin Grittner teaches Canadian history in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and has held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of British Columbia and the University of New Brunswick. David E. Smith is a former president of the Canadian Political Science Association and the author of a number of books on the Canadian Parliament and Canadian federalism.

[ 76 ] IRISH INTELLECT: ITS GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. By D. EDGAR FLINN, V.D , F.K.C.S [Read 16th April, 1920.] It is now thirty-one years ago—January, 1889—since I contributed a paper on " The Geographical Distribution of Irish Intellect," which I read before the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland. Dr. Grimshaw, the President, then Begistrar-General for Ireland, was in the chair, which is now so well and worthily filled by his suc- cessor, the present Eegistrar-General. Since that time the world has undergone many changes, and Ireland has during that period contributed her quota (and that quite a large one) of names worthy to be inscribed on the world's roll of fame. Ireland has during the period under review passed through many and varied vicissitudes, and has experienced anxious and exciting times. The Boer War, the death of Queen Victoria, with which the Victorian era may be said to have concluded; the accession and, unfortunately, much too brief reign of King Edward, the great European war, the Dublin rising—are all remarkable milestones in the life and history of the last thirty years ; and Ireland during that period bas visibly made great progress. It is nothing short of wonder, having regard to the educational disabilities and difficulties that so many Irish- men have been found 'able to take their place in the front ranks and walks of life. Time, that solvent of all things, as well as the historian of the future, will be better enabled to judge whether the youth of the country in former years were allowed to partake in full measure of the educational resources and benefits that were placed within easy reach. -

The Career and Contribution of Colonel Maurice Moore, 1854-1939
‘A most public spirited and unselfish man’1: the career and contribution of Colonel Maurice Moore, 1854-1939 DAITHÍ Ó CORRÁIN (St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra) Despite his lengthy and varied career, Maurice Moore has faded from history. His has not been a life story repeatedly retold like those of prominent figures during the Irish Revolution or indeed like his older brother, George, the distinguished novelist.2 Though included in the Dictionary of Irish Biography and frequently referred to in the context of the Irish Volunteers, Moore’s activities and interests have not received an in-depth appraisal.3 The present account, which is based on his personal papers, aims to rectify this and to rescue him from relative obscurity. By professional training a soldier, Moore was decorated for his service and rose to the rank of lieutenant-colonel of the Connaught Rangers. Yet he was an unconventional army officer. As described in section 1 below, Moore was highly critical of British methods to undermine Boer resolve during the Second South African War; this generated significant public controversy. The efforts by the Boers to achieve independence and the establishment of the Union of South Africa as a dominion in 1910 left a lasting impression on Moore and influenced his thinking on Irish self-government. His familiarity with the country and Jan Smuts were central to Moore’s appointment by Dáil Éireann as secret envoy to South Africa in April 1 ‘Reminiscences by Diarmid Coffey’ (NLI, Coffey and Chenevix Trench papers, MS 46,315/5). An early version of this article was presented at the 18th Conference of Irish Historians in Britain at the University of York, 15 Sept. -
