  • PART 3 the Employed Men
    THE MOUNTRAVERS PLANTATION COMMUNITY - INTRODUCTION P a g e | 1044 PART 3 The employed men Chapter 3 Biographies of managers, 1734-1807 Father and son, James and Joseph Browne, 1734-1761 James Browne was the longest-serving manager on Mountravers but a lack of documents meant that relatively few details about his plantation management could be established. Today, the Brownes are best known for their plantation in the parish of St James Windward which was later called Eden and then Eden Browne. The setting of a tale about a death by duel, the old Browne’s estate is now one of the tourist attractions in Nevis. ◄► ▼◄► James Browne may well have come from an old, established Nevis family: in the 1670s there were eight Brownes on the island, including a ‘free Negro’ called John Brown.1 By the early 1700s the number had increased to eleven, mostly through the arrival in 1685 of several Monmouth rebels transported for Governor Stapleton. It appears that James was born in 1710 and the son of James Browne, a member of the Nevis Council.2 James Browne junior studied at Trinity College, Oxford, and was said to have joined the Inner Temple at the age of 16.3 However, he did not follow a legal career but in 1734 was installed as manager on John Frederick Pinney’s plantation. His appointment was a family affair: Jeremiah Browne, who almost certainly was an uncle of James’s,4 was John Frederick Pinney’s guardian, while 1 Oliver, VL Caribbeana Vol 3 Nevis Census 1677/8 2 UKNA, CO 186/1 3 Oliver, VL History of Antigua Vol 1 p76; also http://www.innertemple.org.uk/archive/ 4 The man Mary Pinney had appointed as her son’s guardian, Jeremiah Browne, was a wealthy landowner.

  • 37 HOWITZER BATTERY, ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY - AUGUST 1914 by Lieutenant Colonel Mike Watson, Section Commander, 93 Le Cateau Battery RA, 1964 to 1966
    37 HOWITZER BATTERY, ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY - AUGUST 1914 by Lieutenant Colonel Mike Watson, Section Commander, 93 Le Cateau Battery RA, 1964 to 1966. INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction. [It is alleged that, on Wednesday 19 August 1914, the German Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, ordered the German Army to walk all over the contemptible little British Army. Therefore, those members of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), who served in France, between 4 August 1914 and 22 November 1914, became renown as “The Old Contemptibles”. From 1924 until its disbandment in 1974, the Old Contemptibles Association was a highly respected British institution.] In late August 1964, 93 Le Cateau Battery, Royal Artillery (RA) of 25 Medium Regiment RA marched into Le Cateau led by their Battery Commander (BC), Major Bill Bayly to be presented with the Freedom of the Town. This was one of the very few Old Contemptibles 50th Anniversary events held in France that year. 2. Aim. The aim of this paper is to give an insight into the actions of 37 Howitzer Battery, Royal Field Artillery (RFA), now 93 Le Cateau Battery RA, when it fought at Le Cateau on Wednesday 26 August 1914, as related by some of the veterans of 37 Howitzer Battery and XV Field Brigade RFA at Le Cateau during August 1964. 3. Limitation. This paper is primarily written as a colloquial, rather than an academic, history for the benefit of the recently reactivated 93 Le Cateau Battery RA of 5 Regiment RA. Its main source is the “Martin Gale” pamphlet – further details at Para 58 4.

  • SCOTLAND and the BRITISH ARMY C.1700-C.1750
    SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 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 historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.

  • The Rubicon Theory of War the Rubicon Theory Dominic D.P
    The Rubicon Theory of War The Rubicon Theory Dominic D.P. Johnson and of War Dominic Tierney How the Path to Conºict Reaches the Point of No Return In49b.c., Julius Caesar halted his army on the banks of the Rubicon River in northern Italy. According to Suetonius, he paused in momentary hesitation, before sweepingacross the waters toward Rome with the immortal phrase Alae iacta est (The die has been cast).1 By violating an ancient Roman law forbidding any general to cross the Rubicon with an army, Caesar’s decision made war inevitable. Ever since, “crossing the Rubicon” has come to symbolize a point of no return, when the time for deliberation is over and action is at hand. In this article we set out the Rubicon theory of war. When people be- lieve they have crossed a psychological Rubicon and perceive war to be im- minent, they switch from what psychologists call a “deliberative” to an “implemental” mind-set, triggering a number of psychological biases, most notably overconªdence.2 These biases can cause an increase in aggressive or risky military planning. Furthermore, if actors believe that war is imminent when it is not in fact certain to occur, the switch to implemental mind-sets can be a causal factor in the outbreak of war, by raising the perceived probability of military victory and encouraging hawkish and provocative policies. The Rubicon theory of war has several important implications for interna- tional relations theory and practice. First, it helps to resolve a major paradox in international relations: the widespread fear and anxiety that underlies the se- curity dilemma in times of peace and the prevalence of overconªdence on the Dominic D.P.
