Notable Harvard Veterans HARVARD COLLEGE by CLASS 1746 Brigadier General John Ashe Continental Militia (North Carolina State Troops) [Died from disease as a POW] Born to a prominent family in Grovely, Brunswick County, North Carolina in 1720 was the son of the Speaker of the Colonial Assembly in 1726 & 1727. John’s younger brother was Governor Samuel Ashe (1725-1813), for whom Asheville, North Carolina was named. After Harvard, John enlisted in the NC militia during the French and Indian War and was elected Speaker of the colonial assembly from 1762 to 1765. He was an outspoken opponent of the Stamp Act and supported independence from Great Britain. After serving in the NC Provincial Congress, he joined the committees of correspondence and safety as hostilities between the colonies and Great Britain began to rise. As a militia commander of 500 men, Major Ashe destroyed the British garrison of Fort Johnston near Wilmington (NC) in 1775. As a colonel, he raised and equipped a regiment at his own expense which he led in the American victory at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge.

My thanks under all conditions. During a storm at sea this required special training and seamanship. The only two things we to those who submitted these accounts. could do to remain safe was to pick the speed and course Jene Cain, Editor we thought would be safest. In calm seas we usually steamed at 15 knots (17.3 mph) but in a storm we reduced our speed to about 10 to 12 knots (11.5 to 13.8 mph). At slower speeds too little water went past the rudders making it difficult for the helmsman to control the ship’s heading. The nautical term for this condition is “insufficient steerage-way”. At speeds much above 12 knots (13.8 mph), the SHIELDS would be pounded by the waves with the real danger that a seam in the hull might be opened to the sea causing flooding.

  • U. S. S. Belknap (DLG-26) Boston Naval Shipyard Boston, Massachusetts 7 November 1964 Naval Commissioning
    U. S. S. Belknap (DLG-26) Boston Naval Shipyard Boston, Massachusetts 7 November 1964 Naval Commissioning The moment the commission pennant is broken at the masthead, the USS BELKNAP (DLG-26) becomes a naval ship of war, ready to serve her country in all respects. The commission pennant is a distinctive mark of a ship of the navy in commission, and is flown from the masthead, except when a personal flag displaces the commission pennant. The commission pennant dates back to the 17th century war be- tween Holland and England. The Dutch admiral, Admiral Tromp, hoisted a broom at his masthead, indicating his intention to sweep the British from the sea. This gesture was answered by the British admiral who hoisted a horsewhip, indicating the British intention to chastise the Dutch. The British carried out their boast and ever since, the nar- row, coach whip pennant (symbolizing the original horsewhip) has been the distinctive mark of a ship of war, and has been adopted by all nations. The modern, U. S. Navy commission pennant is blue at the hoist, with a union of seven white stars, and a red and white stripe at the fly, in two horizontal stripes. In lieu of a commission pennant, flag ships fly commodores' or admirals' personal flags.

    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. New Zealand’s Forgotten Warriors: 3NZ Division in the South Pacific in World War II A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Reginald Hedley Newell 2008 The author, Reginald Hedley Newell, asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this work. ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the origins, deployment, operations and demise of 3NZ Division. It argues that the forces that became the Division were sent to Fiji because of a perceived strategic threat, particularly from airpower, if the islands were seized by the Japanese. The Division was relieved in Fiji by the Americans but returned to the Pacific in 1943 because New Zealand wanted to earn a place at the peace table and the Americans lacked troops in the theatre. Whether the Division was primarily an offensive or garrison unit remained unclear throughout its existence and influenced its constitution. Major General Harold Barrowclough, its commander from 1942 to 1944, had somewhat different strengths from his fellow divisional commander Major General Bernard Freyberg, and operated in a very different environment, with amphibious operations at brigade level. Furthermore, his division operated in an area dominated by the United States Navy rather than the more familiar culture of the British Army.
