LA VITA Grande pacifista d'Europa, Vera Brittain nacque il 29 dicembre 1883 a Newcastle-under- Lyme in Inghilterra. Dopo aver iniziato gli studi ad Oxford, incapace di stare a guardare attendendo con angoscia il susseguirsi degli eventi bellici da poco scopiati, come moltre altre giovani donne, sentì il bisogno di impegnarsi in prima persona e, in seguito all'arruolamento dell'amato fratello Edward e del fidanzato Roland Leighton, nel 1915 lasciò gli studi per arruolarsi come infermiera volontaria nel Voluntary Aid Detachment (V.A.D.) e portare il proprio aiuto ai numerosi soldati britannici impegnati al fronte. Dopo la morte del fidanzato Ronald, unitosi al Reggimento Worcestershire, ancor più dura fu pe Vera la morte di Edward, avvenuta in battaglia il 15 giugno 1918. Rimasta praticamente sola dopo un susseguirsi di perdite degli affetti a lei più cari, la scrittrice decise di pubblicare i diari personali e le lettere scambiate con il fratello durante la fitta corrispondenza che i due mantennero nell'arco del conflitto, ricchi di testimonianze sugli sconvolgenti anni della Prima Guerra Mondiale. E proprio queste testimonianze fecere di lei una delle scrittrici più amate di sempre nel mondo anglosassone, il cui nome si lega alla celebre opera del 1933, Testament of Youth e dov'è possibile scorgere anche le difficoltà incontrate dalla scrittrice nel ritornare alla qutidianità dopo i duri anni del conflitto.

  • The Night Operation on the Passchendaele Ridge, 2Nd December 1917
    Centre for First World War Studies A Moonlight Massacre: The Night Operation on the Passchendaele Ridge, 2nd December 1917 by Michael Stephen LoCicero Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law June 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Third Battle of Ypres was officially terminated by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig with the opening of the Battle of Cambrai on 20 November 1917. Nevertheless, a comparatively unknown set-piece attack – the only large-scale night operation carried out on the Flanders front during the campaign – was launched twelve days later on 2 December. This thesis, a necessary corrective to published campaign narratives of what has become popularly known as „Passchendaele‟, examines the course of events from the mid-November decision to sanction further offensive activity in the vicinity of Passchendaele village to the barren operational outcome that forced British GHQ to halt the attack within ten hours of Zero. A litany of unfortunate decisions and circumstances contributed to the profitless result.

  • The Evolution of British Tactical and Operational Tank Doctrine and Training in the First World War
    The evolution of British tactical and operational tank doctrine and training in the First World War PHILIP RICHARD VENTHAM TD BA (Hons.) MA. Thesis submitted for the award of the degree of Master of Philosophy by the University of Wolverhampton October 2016 ©Copyright P R Ventham 1 ABSTRACT Tanks were first used in action in September 1916. There had been no previous combat experience on which to base tactical and operational doctrine for the employment of this novel weapon of war. Training of crews and commanders was hampered by lack of vehicles and weapons. Time was short in which to train novice crews. Training facilities were limited. Despite mechanical limitations of the early machines and their vulnerability to adverse ground conditions, the tanks achieved moderate success in their initial actions. Advocates of the tanks, such as Fuller and Elles, worked hard to convince the sceptical of the value of the tank. Two years later, tanks had gained the support of most senior commanders. Doctrine, based on practical combat experience, had evolved both within the Tank Corps and at GHQ and higher command. Despite dramatic improvements in the design, functionality and reliability of the later marks of heavy and medium tanks, they still remained slow and vulnerable to ground conditions and enemy counter-measures. Competing demands for materiel meant there were never enough tanks to replace casualties and meet the demands of formation commanders. This thesis will argue that the somewhat patchy performance of the armoured vehicles in the final months of the war was less a product of poor doctrinal guidance and inadequate training than of an insufficiency of tanks and the difficulties of providing enough tanks in the right locations at the right time to meet the requirements of the manoeuvre battles of the ‘Hundred Days’.

BULLOCH PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY CHANCELLOR AND HISTORIAN OF ORDER OF WASHINGTON EX-CHANCELLOR OF ARYAN ORDER CHIEF REGENT OF IMPERIAL ORuER 01' YELLOW ROSE MEMBER OF SONS OF REVOLUTION OF GEORGIA EX-PRESIDENT OF SONS OF REVOLUTION OF FLORIDA .Author of The Bulloch Family and Copncctions; The Family of Bellinger and Deveaux and other Southern Families; The Stewart, Elliott and Dunwody Families; Baillie of Dunain; The Habersham and other Southern Families; Biographical .Sketch of Hon. Archibald Bulloch and other Articles; f.lf vcral Stories and M cdical and Sanitary A rticlcs. PREFACE. The study of genealogy and the compilation of articles on family history can be made very interesting if the genealogist looks upon himself not only as such but as an historian and scientist, for I maintain that the study of genealogy is not the mere tabulating of a lot of names, but embraces the study of history, eugenics-eugenics which of course takes into consideration not only heredity, peculiarities, and disease in­ cident thereto, but also enables one to compile a true history of events. Therefore the college and university should have a chair devoted to this study. We all know that one who merely takes a birdseye view of a battle can only see the general trend of the conflict, but that he who visits all parts of the field can study the salient features of the conflict and the parts taken by the individual and can deduce therefrom the reason why the enemy has been successful or has met defeat.

  • Three WWI South Africa's Heroes in Delville Wood
    Three WWI South Africa’s Heroes in Delville Wood Shocked, shell shocked, bomb-shocked; no matter what kind of shock is experienced, shock drives different men to react differently, especially if the ‘man’ just turned 21 years of age. Young William “Mannie” Faulds from Cradock, South Africa, together with his brother, Paisley, and friends from school days joined up with the South African forces to fight during World War One (WWI). He and his bosom friend and neighbour, Arthur Schooling, enlisted and went everywhere together. Together they fought under command of General Louis Botha during the South West African Campaign and then in Egypt before being deployed to fight in the Battle of the Somme in France. During the Battle of Delville Wood, on the 16th of July 1916, Arthur Schooling was shot and killed in No Man’s Land. Mannie Faulds could do nothing to help his friend and most probably went into shock. On the same day, 16 July, Lieut. Arthur Craig (1st BN B Coy) was also shot and lay wounded close to the body of Arthur Schooling between the Allied and enemy trenches. Three young Springboks, Pte. Mannie Faulds, Pte. Clifford Baker and Pte. Alexander Estment, took matters into their own hands, defied the risk and in broad daylight at 10:30, climbed the barricade and crawled to their severely wounded Lieutenant and piggy-backed (pick-a-back) him to relative safety. Private Baker was badly wounded in the attempt. Lieutenant Craig eventually landed up in the South African Military Hospital in Richmond, England, having been taken to the dressing station and then by stretcher bearers to the hospital at Abberville.

Be- tween the plates of the oscillator and modulator is a high frequency choke coil which prevents TIME the plate potential of the modulator from varying at radio frequency (Fig. 2). If the grid potential of the modulator is constant the oscillator will supply a wave of high frequency current of constant amplitude, but if currents at speech frequency are im- pressed on the grid of the modulator, the plate current of the modulator will vary accordingly and produce slight variations of current through ` . ....--' the low frequency choke coil. The inductance -- J of the coil being large, the voltage across it ---,` ,.---.. varies to a considerable extent. For instance, - ' suppose there is a 20 per cent. variation of current at a frequency of I,000 cycles per II second.
