  • British Interventions in Afghanistan and the Afghans' Struggle To
    University of Oran 2 Faculty of Foreign Languages Doctoral Thesis Submitted in British Civilization Entitled: British Interventions in Afghanistan and the Afghans’ Struggle to Achieve Independence (1838-1921) Presented and submitted Publicaly by by: Mr Mehdani Miloud in front of a jury composed of Jury Members Designation University Pr.Bouhadiba Zoulikha President Oran 2 Pr. Lahouel Badra Supervisor Oran 2 Pr. Moulfi Leila Examiner Oran 2 Pr. Benmoussat Smail Examiner Tlemcen Dr. Dani Fatiha Examiner Oran 1 Dr. Meberbech Fewzia Examiner Tlemcen 2015-2016 Dedication To my daughter Nardjes (Nadjet) . Abstract The British loss of the thirteen colonies upon the American independence in 1783 moved Britain to concentrate her efforts on India. Lying between the British and Russian empires as part of the Great Game, Afghanistan grew important for the Russians, for it constituted a gateway to India. As a result, the British wanted to make of Afghanistan a buffer state to ward off a potential Russian invasion of India. Because British-ruled India government accused the Afghan Amir of duplicity, she intervened in Afghanistan in 1838 to topple the Afghan Amir, Dost Mohammad and re-enthrone an Afghan ‗puppet‘ king named Shah Shuja. The British made their second intervention in Afghanistan (1878-1880) because the Anglo-Russian rivalry persisted. The result was both the annexation of some of the Afghans‘ territory and the confiscation of their sovereignty over their foreign policy. Unlike the British first and second interventions in Afghanistan, the third one, even though short, was significant because it was instigated by the Afghan resistance. Imbued with nationalist and Pan-Islamist ideologies, the Afghans were able to free their country from the British domination.

  • General Sir Sam Browne Samuel James Browne Was Born on 3
    General Sir Sam Browne Samuel James Browne was born on 3 October 1824 in Barrackpore in West Bengal, India. The town is located in the Brahmaputra-Ganges delta region on the eastern bank of the Ganges about 25 kilometres from Kolkata (Calcutta). The town was a military and administrative centre under British rule and the name derives from the English word ‘barracks’. He was the son of Dr John Browne, a surgeon in the Bengal Medical Service and his wife Charlotte (née Swinton). Samuel Browne joined the 46th Bengal Native Infantry as a subaltern, participating in action at Ramnuggar, Sadoolapore, Chillianwalla and Gujarat. In 1849 he was made a Lieutenant and tasked with raising a cavalry force to be designated the 2nd Punjab Irregular Cavalry and later incorporated into the regular force. He commanded that unit for the next five years and led them in several engagements. He was decorated for action during the Bozdar Expedition in 1857, being promoted to Captain. In 1904, three years after his death, the unit was re-designated as the 22nd Sam Browne's Cavalry (Frontier Force) in his honour. He won the Victoria Cross on 31 August 1858 at Seerporah, India, in an engagement with the rebels. Captain Browne, whilst advancing upon the enemy's position, pushed on with one Sowar, a mounted orderly, upon a nine-pounder gun and attacked the gunners, preventing them from re-loading and firing on the infantry who were advancing to attack. In the conflict which ensued Captain Browne received two sword cuts, one on the left knee and another which severed his left arm at the shoulder, but not before he had cut down one of his assailants.

  • Conflict in Afghanistan
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:15 09 May 2016 Conflict in Afghanistan Conflict in Afghanistan provides a timely discussion of the concept of asymmetric warfare which has become one of the main issues of the day in the wake of the attacks of 9/11 and the ensuing invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Broadly speaking this describes a means of fighting where comparatively weak belligerents have been able to exploit successfully the vulnerabilities of their more powerful and sophisticated opponents. Two recent examples have been the Vietnam and the Soviet–Afghan wars, but the historical roots of the concept lie deeper, particularly in Afghanistan. Conflict in Afghanistan, laying emphasis on contemporary documents and drawing on material from Soviet archives, centres on wars conducted in Afghanistan which have been of the asymmetric variety. Subjects examined include: • five wars conducted in Afghanistan by an external invader over the past two centuries; • the decisions and actions of politicians and the military involved in the wars in question; • the successes and failures of diplomatic endeavours during the wars. This book is essential reading for those who have research interests in Asian studies, military studies and current affairs. Martin Ewans is a retired diplomat with considerable experience of South Asia, including three years as Head of Chancery in Kabul. He is author of Afghanistan: A New History and Afghanistan: A Short History of its People and Politics.

  • The Evolution of the LASD Male Uniform in the Beginning the Need
    The Evolution of the LASD Male Uniform By Deputy Chris Miller (retired) Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Museum In the Beginning The Wild West years were in full swing when the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office was established in 1850. In those days, the Sheriff and his deputies did not wear uniforms, but dressed like everyone else. The only visible means of identifying a lawman was by his badge. Since everyone in town knew who he was, the Sheriff generally chose not to display his badge openly. Instead, it was worn inside the lapel, allowing him to reveal his identity only if it became necessary. When a stranger came into town, he could observe the person without drawing attention to himself, covertly determining if the newcomer was a law-abiding citizen or an outlaw. When groups of lawmen gathered to pursue and apprehend an outlaw, they wore their badges openly for easy identification. This prevented them from shooting each other during a gun fight. When a posse was needed to hunt down criminals, they were chosen from the townspeople. Any person who looked trustworthy and was willing to help was deputized on the spot as the Sheriff pinned a badge on them. The law of posse comitatus, which allowed a deputy to deputize average citizens, was enacted in 1872 and is still in effect today. The Need for Uniforms The Los Angeles Aqueduct, the longest of its type in the world, was designed and built by William Mulholland in 1913. This amazing feat of engineering used gravity to move water over 200 miles, from the Owens Valley to Los Angeles.

  • The Evolution of the LASD Male Uniform in the Beginning the Need
    The Evolution of the LASD Male Uniform By Deputy Chris Miller (retired) Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Museum In the Beginning The Wild West years were in full swing when the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office was established in 1850. In those days, the Sheriff and his deputies did not wear uniforms, but dressed like everyone else. The only visible means of identifying a lawman was by his badge. Since everyone in town knew who he was, the Sheriff generally chose not to display his badge openly. Instead, it was worn inside the lapel, allowing him to reveal his identity only if it became necessary. When a stranger came into town, he could observe the person without drawing attention to himself, covertly determining if the newcomer was a law-abiding citizen or an outlaw. When groups of lawmen gathered to pursue an outlaw, they wore their badges openly for easy identification. This prevented them from shooting each other during a gun fight. When a posse was needed to hunt down criminals, they were chosen from the townspeople. Any person who looked trustworthy and was willing to help, was deputized on the spot as the Sheriff pinned a badge on them. The law of posse comitatus, which allowed a deputy to deputize average citizens, was enacted in 1872 and is still in effect today. The Need for Uniforms The Los Angeles Aqueduct, the longest of its type in the world, was designed and built by William Mulholland in 1913. This amazing feat of engineering used gravity to move water over 200 miles, from the Owens Valley to Los Angeles.
