  • Act of Remembrance Service Sheet
    6 AN ACT OF REMEMBRANCE on ARMISTICE DAY Wednesday 11 November 2020 10.55am Welcome to Christ Church on this Armistice Day, as we gather with representatives of the two Oxfordshire regiments remembered in our Chapel of Remembrance, and their successor regiments. We come together to remember the fallen of two world wars and conflicts across the world; to give thanks for peace; and to commit ourselves to work for the healing and reconciliation of the nations. The service begins with a short Act of Remembrance incorporating the two minutes’ silence at 11 am. This is followed by a longer service, the remembrance of the fallen from the regiments to whom our Chapel of Remembrance is a memorial: The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, The Royal Green Jackets, The Rifles and The Queen’s Own Oxfordshire Hussars, now 142 (Queen’s Own Oxfordshire Hussars) Vehicle Squadron, The Royal Logistics Corps. Although this year we cannot turn physical pages, or remember by name as many of the fallen as we would in ordinary times, we nevertheless remember with gratitude and care all those who have given their lives in the conflicts of the twentieth century. Those we name before God represent all those who have fallen. During the service, please participate as you wish. There are no directions for standing, sitting or kneeling in this service sheet, but please do stand, sit or kneel as you find most helpful. We pray that God’s blessing will rest on you and upon all people. Music before the Service played by Benjamin Sheen, Sub Organist Chorale Prelude on ‘Eventide’ C.H.H.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

  • History of the Royal Marines 1837-1914 HE Blumberg
    History of the Royal Marines 1837-1914 HE Blumberg (Minor editing by Alastair Donald) In preparing this Record I have consulted, wherever possible, the original reports, Battalion War and other Diaries, accounts in Globe and Laurel, etc. The War Office Official Accounts, where extant, the London Gazettes, and Orders in Council have been taken as the basis of events recounted, and I have made free use of the standard histories, eg History of the British Army (Fortescue), History of the Navy (Laird Clowes), Britain's Sea Soldiers (Field), etc. Also the Lives of Admirals and Generals bearing on the campaigns. The authorities consulted have been quoted for each campaign, in order that those desirous of making a fuller study can do so. I have made no pretence of writing a history or making comments, but I have tried to place on record all facts which can show the development of the Corps through the Nineteenth and early part of the Twentieth Centuries. H E BLUMBERG Devonport January, 1934 1 P A R T I 1837 – 1839 The Long Peace On 20 June, 1837, Her Majesty Queen Victoria ascended the Throne and commenced the long reign which was to bring such glory and honour to England, but the year found the fortunes of the Corps at a very low ebb. The numbers voted were 9007, but the RM Artillery had officially ceased to exist - a School of Laboratory and nominally two companies quartered at Fort Cumberland as part of the Portsmouth Division only being maintained. The Portsmouth Division were still in the old inadequate Clarence Barracks in the High Street; Plymouth and Chatham were in their present barracks, which had not then been enlarged to their present size, and Woolwich were in the western part of the Royal Artillery Barracks.
