Maccabe of Massachusetts Louis M. Wagner of Pennsylvania George B. Abbott of Illinois and approved by the Encampment. To it has been added data from 1914 to 1939 inclusive, and additional articles which are of interest to our order. The Committee is indebted to Past Commander-in-Chief John E. Sautter for his valuable assistance. Prepared for the Fifty-eighth Annual Encampment, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 29-31, 1939 by Davis Star Camp, Department of Pennsylvania, Sons of Union Veter­ ans of the Civil War. COMMITTEE William C. Elliott, Sr. Chairman David B. Campbell Oliver S. Moore George J. Reutzel J. Harry Reutzel William J. Blakeley William C. Elliott, Jr. Carl Ruhe Commander Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 7 HISTORY of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War The Sons of Veterans as an Order, is unique and practically stands alone as a society of men formed and maintained primarily for honoring and aiding another entirely independent society. Its most practical purposes are to assist the Grand Army of the Republic as representing the survivors of the War of the Rebel­ lion, to honor the man who fought for the preservation of the National Union, either living or dead, and to uphold the principles in defense of which he offered his life. Briefly, therefore, this Order is patriotic, charitable and educational. At the time of its inception in all of the several independent organizations of Sons of Veterans, which eventually became in­ corporated into the Sons of Veterans, U. S. A., [and at the Grand Rapids Encampment in 1925 to Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War] the military spirit prevailed. Military and naval titles exclusively were given to the officers and a uniform was pre­ scribed. Drills and field encampments were attractive features and gold trimmings and brass buttons were plentiful. This mili­ tary spirit was not without practical results as shown by the large percentage of Sons of Veterans who became volunteers at the time of our war with Spain in 1898. In fact, so many of the martial minded and soldierly trained members became identified • with the Spanish war and societies of its survivors, that the Sons of Veterans experienced a marked falling off in its membership. On account of this dropping away of the military element and the fact that the average age of the membership was advanced beyond the years when uniforms and military evolutions are attractive, the Order gradually has been reforming on other lines until now it is practically a civic organization with a military sub-organiza­ tion known as the Sons of Veterans Reserve which is strictly a military body and a credit to our Order. As an order it is thoroughly American in that it is composed of all political faiths and religious creeds and has never departed from this course. Early in 1883 the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of members of the Sons of Veterans were organized through the efforts of Maj. A. P. Davis of Pittsburg. into what was then known as the Ladies Aid Society of the Sons of Veterans. It was 9 officially recognized as the Sons of Veterans Auxiliary in 1884. It completed its national organization in 1887 and became recog­ nized as attached to the Sons of Veterans. Later in 1900 this ladies society changed its name to that of "Sons of Veterans Auxiliary" [and in 1925 to Auxiliary to Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War]. To no one person can the honor be given of originating the Sons of Veterans. The earliest idea of and movement for organiz­ ing the sons of veterans of the War of the Rebellion, beyond question, was brought forth in the City of Philadelphia in 1878. It had become a practice with several Posts of the G. A. R. in Philadelphia to permit the sons of the comrades to join in the parade with the Posts on Memorial Day. This also was in vogue in several eastern cities, notably in Boston, Mass., and vicinity, where the youngsters trudged out before they were in their teens. It naturally followed that these boys, ranging from 12 to 16 years old, should be organized into a tangible body. Therefore, at a meeting of Anna M. Ross Post No. 94, Department of Pennsyl­ vania, Grand Army of the Republic, Philadelphia, Pa., August 27, 1878, when on motion of Comrade James P. Holt, a committee was appointed to devise means for forming a G. A. R. Cadet Corps, comprised of Comrades Holt, Levi W. Shengle, Carl Frederic, Charles Weiss and William H. Morgan. The committee submitted by report a plan at the meeting of the Post September 18, 1878, which was adopted, and, October 15, 1878, presented a constitution, which was accepted; and the committee was instructed to receive applications for membership in the Cadet Corps. It was to be formed of the "Sons of Union Soldiers, Sailors or Marines" of the War of 1861-'65. Lewis E. Vandegrift, whose death occurred early in January, 1910, was the first Captain or Commander of the Cadet Corps attached to Anna M. Ross Post No. 94, G. A.

  • Irregular Auxiliaries After 1945
    Irregular auxiliaries after 1945 Sibylle Scheipers Author contact details: Dr Sibylle Scheipers Senior Lecturer in International Relations University of St Andrews Arts Building The Scores St Andrews KY16 9AX United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract: Collaboration with native auxiliaries in wars in the peripheries of the international system is an age-old practice, the relevance of which is likely to increase in the twenty-first century. Yet, the parameters of such collaboration are understudied. This article aims to contribute to the nascent yet fragmentary scholarship on the use of native auxiliaries. It identifies three intellectual templates of the collaboration between western regular forces and native auxiliaries: the eighteenth century model of auxiliary ‘partisans’ as tactical complements to regular armed forces; the nineteenth century transformation of the ‘partisan’ into the irregular guerrilla fighter and the concomitant rise of the ‘martial races’ discourse; and, finally, the post-1945 model of the loyalist auxiliary as a symbol of the political legitimacy of the counter-insurgent side in wars of decolonization and post-colonial insurgencies. The article focuses on the rise of loyalism after 1945 in particular, a phenomenon that it seeks to understand within the broader context of irregular warfare and the moral reappraisal of irregular fighters after the Second World War. Keywords: colonial war, wars of decolonization, auxiliaries, Malaya, Kenya, Vietnam, Algeria Native auxiliaries in counter-insurgency campaigns and
