    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19480-8 - Armies of Empire: The 9th Australian and 50th British Divisions in Battle 1939-1945 Allan Converse Frontmatter More information Armies of Empire The 9th Australian and 50th British Divisions in Battle 1939–1945 Armies of Empire uniquely reflects upon the experience of two divisions from different armies facing similar challenges in the Second World War. The 9th Australian Division and the British 50th (Northumbrian) Division both saw long service and suffered heavy casualties, and both encountered morale, discipline and battlefield effectiveness problems. In this illuminating, comparative study of Australian and British divisions at war, Allan Converse draws extensively on primary sources as well as recent scholarship on morale and combat efficiency. His fresh approach questions the popular mythology surrounding the Australian Digger and the British Tommy, and shows how it was a combination of leadership, loyalty and tactics, rather than intrinsic national qualities, which resulted in victory for Churchill’s armies.

    Lieutenant Gordon Stuart Frazier Gordon was born on 23rd August 1892.i He was the younger of two sons born to George Rowland and Louisa Frazier. Around the time of Gordon’s birth the family were living at 436 Coventry Road, Bordesley. His father, born in Oystermouth, Glamorgan, earned a living as a ‘provision merchant’.ii By 1901 the family had moved to 81 Golden Hillock Road, Aston (now Sparkhill) where George ran a grocer’s shop. In 1904, Gordon joined his elder brother, Rowland, at King Edward’s School (KES), New Street where he remained until 1908.iii On leaving school he was articled to Mr C Silk, quantity surveyor, of Newhall Street Birmingham. Gordon had many outside interests, in particular, cricket. As a member of Moseley Ashfield Cricket Club and committee member he became vice-captain of the second team and was considered to be an excellent bowler. Gordon was also well known in local amateur theatricals and was a player in the Moseley Junior Shakespeare Society, then the Pitsani Players.iv Figure 1: Birmingham Daily Post report on the Pitsani Payers and ‘She Stoops to Conquer’. A month after the outbreak of war in August 1914, Gordon applied to join the 14th Service Battalion (1st Birmingham Pals), Royal Warwickshire Regiment for three years with the Colours when it was formed in September by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham and a local committee. Gordon’s attestation on 5th September records him as physically fit but not for regular service and as a consequence he was posted to the 17th (Local Reserve) Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment based at Chisledon, Wiltshire as Private G S Frazier, Number 225.v On 1st July 1915 Gordon was promoted to Lance-Corporal.
