A Companion To WHO WAS WHO A COMPANION TO"WHO S WHO' CONTAINING THE BIOGRAPHIES OF THOSE WHO DIED DURING THE PERIOD 1897-1916. PUBLISHED BY A & C BLACK LIMITED 4 5 &-6-SOHO SQUARE LONDON-W 192O vi PREFACE THE annual volumes of Who's Who are confined to those still living. But it has long been felt that it is not the biographies of the living only that are required. To learn details of the career of a distinguished man recently dead, it has so far been necessary to look him up in a back volume of Who's Who, This entailed on the busy journalist, or man of affairs, the necessity for keeping the whole of the past volumes on his shelves. To obviate this the biographies of all those who died between 1897' and 1916 (the first twenty years of the new issue of Who's Who) have now been re-edited and collected into the present volume, which forms a companion book to the older one, and will probably prove as indispensable. It had been the intention of the Publishers to bring this un- volume out in 1916, but difficulties arising out of the war fortunately rendered that impossible. 24 Sept. 1919. ABBREVIATIONS Al .

  • The Victoria Cross Zeb Micic 2
    The Victoria Cross Zeb Micic Why was the Victoria Cross formed in 1857, and how has it evolved in the subsequent 150 years? Zeb Micic It is ordained that the distinction shall be styled and designated ‘THE VICTORIA CROSS' and shall consist of a Maltese Cross of bronze with Our Royal Crest in the centre and underneath which, an enscroll bearing the inscription, ‘For Valour'.1 Introduction The Victoria Cross (VC) will always be an endless source of interest and fascination for swathes of the public: this article charts the formation of this unique award, its evolution, and its fascination for not only historians and medal collectors, but also the general public at large. While only dealing with the medal itself, the article, also, looks at the military and society itself – since the VC is, perhaps, a microcosm of British society at large. This essay will look at the systems in place to recognise gallantry prior to the formation of the VC showing the need for a decoration and how it came to be formed. It will then look at the ‘prestige’ of the VC. It is not my intention to discuss individual holders of this most important of decorations, not withstanding my great admiration for their courage and devotion to duty, they truly are, as the long serving secretary of the VC and GC Association said, ‘just incredible people’.2 The Victoria Cross is known by all of us: Mark Smith, former curator of the Royal Artillery Museum, said ‘I take eight year old children in classes… and they have heard [of the VC].’3 Recognising gallantry prior to the VC Until the Crimean War, it took a civil war, and the subsequent deposition of the monarchy, for the British to honour gallantry with a medal of sorts.

  • Dames in New Zealand: Gender, Representation And
    Dames in New Zealand: Gender, Representation and the Royal Honours System, 1917-2000 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History in the University of Canterbury by Karen Fox University of Canterbury 2005 Contents Abstract List of Figures ii Abbreviations iii Acknowledgements v Introduction 1 Chapter One: 28 An elite male institution: reproducing British honours in New Zealand Chapter Two: 58 In her own right: feminism, ideas of femininity and titles for women Chapter Three: 89 The work of dames and knights: exceptional women and traditional images of the feminine Chapter Four: 119 The work of dames and knights: traditional patterns in honours and non­ traditional work for women Conclusion 148 Appendix One: 166 Honours awarded in New Zealand, 1917-2000 Appendix Two: 174 Database of titular honours, 1917-2000 Bibliography 210 19 MAY Z005 Abstract The New Zealand royal honours system, as a colonial reproduction of an elite British system with a white male norm, has been largely overlooked in all fields of scholarship. Yet, as a state expression of what is valued in society, honours provide a window into shifts in society. This study of dames and knights is undertaken in the context of the changes in the lives of New Zealand women in the twentieth century. Situated in a changing and shifting environment, the honours system has itself changed, influenced by the ebb and flow of the feminist movement, the decline of imperial and aristocratic forces, and New Zealand's evolving independence and identity. At the same time, the system has been in some respects static, slow to respond to charges of being an imperial anachronism, and, despite some change in what areas of service titles were granted for, remaining a gendered space focused on the traditionally male-dominated fields of politics, law and commerce.
