“Soldier An' Sailor Too” “Soldier an' Sailor too ” October 1664 E. J.Sparrow 1 PREFACE On the occasion of the Royal Marines 350 th Birthday perhaps it is worth listing some of their achievements. This booklet takes the form of a day by day diary covering the variety of tasks they have undertaken. A few dates are chosen to show the diversity of the tasks undertaken and the variety of locations where marines have served. Over the course of time they have acquired a remarkable reputation. Their loyalty to the Sovereign is only surpassed by that to their mates. They have fought all over the Globe from Murmansk in the Arctic in 1919 to the Antarctic in more recent years. They fought in desert, jungle and in snow. At sea they have fought in every sort of vessel from battleship to canoe on the surface and also operated below the waves. They have flown in action both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. They rode into battle on horses and camels plus used reindeer and mules as pack animals. When tragedy strikes be it earthquake, deadly diseases like Ebola, volcano, flooding or fire they have appeared to help with the relief. The Government has used them to cover for striking firemen or control displaced Scottish crofters. The UN has used their services in Peace keeping roles. Several British regiments from the Grenadier Guards to some of the Light Infantry are proud to have served as marines and old enemies like the US and Dutch marines are now the firmest of friends. The Royal Marines have a saying that at the end of their life they cross the harbour bar. They only die if they are forgotten. So please read and remember them and all those in the Royal Navy, the Army and the RAF, who fought and died with them. Rudyard Kipling sums up a “Bootneck” or “Jolly” very well in his poem Soldier an' Sailor too (The Royal Regiment of Marines) As I was spittin’ into the Ditch aboard o’ the Crocodile, I seed a man on a man-o’-war got up in the Reg’lars’ style. ’E was scrapin’ the paint from off of ’er plates, an’ I sez to ’im, “’Oo are you?” Sez ’e, “I’m a Jolly—’Er Majesty’s Jolly—soldier an’ sailor too!” Now ’is work begins by Gawd knows when, and ’is work is never through; ’E isn’t one o’ the reg’lar Line, nor ’e isn’t one of the crew. ’E’s a kind of a giddy harumfrodite—soldier an’ sailor too! 2 An’ after I met ’im all over the world, a-doin’ all kinds of things, Like landin’ ’isself with a Gatlin’ gun to talk to them ’eathen kings; ’E sleeps in an ’ammick instead of a cot, an’ ’e drills with the deck on a slew, An’ ’e sweats like a Jolly—’Er Majesty’s Jolly—soldier an’ sailor too! For there isn’t a job on the top o’ the earth the beggar don’t know, nor do— You can leave ’im at night on a bald man’s ’ead, to paddle ’is own canoe— ’E’s a sort of a bloomin’ cosmopolouse—soldier an’ sailor too. We’ve fought ’em in trooper; we’ve fought ’em in dock, and drunk with ’em in betweens, When they called us the seasick scull’ry-maids, an’ we called ’em the Ass Marines; But, when we was down for a double fatigue, from Woolwich to Bernardmyo, We sent for the Jollies—’Er Majesty’s Jollies—soldier an’ sailor too! They think for ’emselves an’ they steal for ’emselves, and they never ask what’s to do, But they’re camped an’ fed an’ they’re up an’ fed before our bugle’s blew. Ho! they ain’t no limpin’ procrastitutes—soldier an’ sailor too. You may say we are fond of an ’arness-cut, or ’ootin’ in barrick-yards, Or startin’ a Board School mutiny along o’ the Onion Guards; (1) But once in a while we can finish in style for the ends of the earth to view, The same as the Jollies—’Er Majesty’s Jollies—soldier an’ sailor too! They come of our lot, they was brothers to us; they was beggars we’d met an’ knew; Yes, barrin’ an inch in the chest an’ the arm, they was doubles o’ me an’ you; For they weren’t no special chrysanthemums—soldier an’ sailor too! To take your chance in the thick of a rush, with firing all about, Is nothing so bad when you’ve cover to ’and, an’ leave an’ likin’ to shout; But to stand an’ be still to the Birken’ead drill is a damn tough bullet to chew, 3 An’ they done it, the Jollies—’Er Majesty’s Jollies—soldier an’ sailor too! Their work was done when it ’adn’t begun; they was younger nor me an’ you; Their choice it was plain between drownin’ in ’eaps an’ bein’ mopped by the screw, So they stood an’ was still to the Birken’ead drill, (2) soldier an’ sailor too! We’re most of us liars, we’re ’arf of us thieves, an’ the rest are as rank as can be, But once in a while we can finish in style (which I ’ope it won’t ’appen to me). But it makes you think better o’ you an’ your friends, an’ the work you may ’ave to do, When you think o’ the sinkin’ Victorier’s (3) Jollies—soldier an’ sailor too! Now there isn’t no room for to say ye don’t know—they ’ave proved it plain and true— That whether it’s Widow, or whether it’s ship, Victorier’s work is to do, An’ they done it, the Jollies—’Er Majesty’s Jollies—soldier an’ sailor too! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Long ago, a battalion of the Guards was sent to Bermuda as a punishment for riotous conduct in barracks. (2) In 1852 the Birkenhead transport was sunk off Simon’s Bay. The soldiers aboard her went down as drawn up on her deck. In similar fashion the Royal Marines on HMS Victoria lined the deck when she was sunk (3) Admiral Tryon’s flagship, sunk in a collision in 1893 4 CONTENTS PREFACE Page 1 JANUARY Page 6 FEBRUARY Page 19 MARCH Page 30 APRIL Page 43 MAY Page 64 JUNE Page 93 JULY Page 113 AUGUST Page 128 SEPTEMBER Page 143 OCTOBER Page 161 NOVEMBER Page 189 DECEMBER Page 213 SOURCES Page 232 COPYRIGHT STATEMENT Page 232 5 JANUARY 1st January 1915 HMS Formidable, pre-Dreadnought battleship, sunk in English Channel Torpedoed by U.24.

  • Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why the Other Eight Months Deserve the Same Recognition As the Landing
    THE Simpson PRIZE A COMPETITION FOR YEAR 9 AND 10 STUDENTS 2016 Winner Western Australia Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why The Other Eight Months Deserve The Same Recognition As The Landing Samai King Gifted and Talented Online rom its early beginnings in 1916, Anzac Day and the associated Anzac legend have come to be an essential part of Australian culture. Our history of the Gallipoli campaign lacks a consensus view as there are many Fdifferent interpretations and accounts competing for our attention. By far the most well-known event of the Gallipoli campaign is the landing of the ANZAC forces on the 25th of April, 1915. Our celebration of, and obsession with, just one single day of the campaign is a disservice to the memory of the men and women who fought under the Anzac banner because it dismisses the complexity and drudgery of the Gallipoli campaign: the torturous trenches and the ever present fear of snipers. Our ‘Anzac’ soldier is a popularly acclaimed model of virtue, but is his legacy best represented by a single battle? Many events throughout the campaign are arguably more admirable than the well-lauded landing, for example the Battle for Lone Pine. Almost four times as many men died in the period of the Battle of Lone Pine than during the Landing. Statistics also document the surprisingly successful evacuation - they lost not even a single soldier to combat. We have become so enamored by the ‘Landing’ that it is now more celebrated and popular than Remembrance Day which commemorates the whole of the First World War in which Anzacs continued to serve.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. University of Birmingham School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law October, 2014.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • April 1915 / Avril 1915
    World War I Day by Day 1915 – 1918 April 1915 / Avril 1915 La premiere guerre mondiale De jour en jour 1915 – 1918 Friends of the Canadian War Museum – Les amis du Musée canadien de la guerre https://www.friends-amis.org/ © 2019 FCWM - AMCG 9 April 1915 The Bunsen Committee: The powerbroker for the Middle East The British Government was puzzled by what would follow a victory against the Ottoman Empire. All major powers of Europe had a stake in the Middle East and the division of the spoils would inevitably bring some difficulties. For a full century, the carving of the Sick Man of Europe had been postponed by conferences to avoid European wars. Prime Minister Asquith therefore created a committee, on 9 April 1915, under a senior Foreign Office diplomat, Maurice de Bunsen, to propose a policy in regard to the division of the Middle East among Allies. The Bunsen Committee had representatives from the Colonial Office, the Admiralty, the India Office and other relevant departments. The War Office was officially represented by General Sir Charles Calwell, but Kitchener Colonel Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes, 6th Baronet (16 March 1879 – 16 February 1919) insisted that he should have his own personal representative on the Committee. That representative was Sir Mark Sykes, a Member of Parliament who was well known as a Kitchener hand with some experience in Constantinople, and who would turn out to influence the committee to the point of singlehanded direction. This committee will produce a first report in June 1915 but will continue as a think-tank for the British government on Middle Eastern developments.

Kuiken Dissertation Advisor - James E. Cronin Dissertation Abstract This dissertation examines British oil policy from the aftermath of the Suez Crisis in 1956-1957 until the Iranian Revolution and the electoral victory of Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative Party in 1979. It was a period marked by major transitions within Britain’s oil policy as well as broader changes within the international oil market. It argues that the story of Britain, and Britain’s two domestically-based oil companies, BP and Shell, offers a valuable case study in the development of competing ideas about the reorganization of the international oil industry in the wake of the rise of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries and the companies’ losing control over the production of oil.
