Like the other oversea Contingents at this stage of the war, the 6th were employed for the most part in constantly trekking over given districts, driving in and harassing the enemy, bringing to the various bases prisoners, horses, cattle, sheep, vehicles, etc., and laying waste the country—a service of much excitement and vicissitude. The Contingent embarked at Pinkenba, and went to sea on 4th April, 1901, in the transport Victoria, arriving at Cape Town on 2nd May. Two drafts of details subsequently followed. The first, under Captain Echlin, who was detailed for the voyage, left Brisbane by rail on 18th August, embarked in the Britannic at Sydney, 20th August, and arrived at Cape Town on 22nd September. The second, officered by Lieutenants Crichton, Cowley, and Philp, entrained at Brisbane, 24th September, 1901 ; embarked at Sydney in the Harlech Castle on 26th September, and reached Cape Town on 26th October. From Cape Town, the 6th proceeded, by order, to Durban ; arrived on 7th May, and disembarked the following day. Entrained same day for Pietermaritz- 507 burg, leaving horses and 30 men, including farriers and smiths, at Durban, under Lieutenants Rich and Vaughan. Arrived at Pietermaritzburg on 9th, entrained on 14th, arrived at Volksrust on the following day, and Standerton on 16th. The horses arrived in six trains on the same day, having been starved and not watered since two and a half days before ; and, as nothing could be done that evening, nearly all the animals were three whole days without food or water. Transport was drawn on the 18th, consisting of 9 buck wagons, 4 Scotch carts, and 1 water cart. On the 19th, the Contingent was posted to Lieut.-Colonel R. Grey's Column, consisting of (in addition) the 7th New Zealand Regiment (six squadrons), 2 15-prs., 1 pom-pom (Royal Field Artillery), half-battalion 1st East Lancashire, and detach- ments of Royal Engineers, Army Service Corps, &c. Lieut.-Colonel Hon. H. F. White (a Jameson raider) commanded the mounted troops. The 6th served side by side with the 7th New Zealanders during the greater part of 1901 and the first three months of 1902. Colonel Grey pronounced the companies of the 6th to be too large, and directed the Regiment to be reorganized into four companies, each of three divisions. This was accordingly carried out ; Captain Wollstein being appointed to command No. 4 company, with Lieutenants Brown and Vaughan ; Lieutenant H. F. Evans to act as quartermaster as well as transport officer. Started to trek on 20th in the Standerton district, marching very light, without tents, wallets off saddles, &c. ; and convoy for General Bullock having come up, the Column proceeded towards Ermelo on 21st. The enemy sniped daily at flank, advance, and rearguards, and there were a few casualties. Arrived at Ermelo on 27th, having captured 15 Boers, and much stock ; handed over the convoy, began return journey to Standerton, the cold winds being so piercing that in some cases men fainted, one falling from the saddle in a swoon. On the 31st, the New Zealanders had a bad day, losing 3 killed, 3 wounded, and 9 prisoners. On 2nd June, camped near Standerton, and sustained their first loss in the person of Private A. W. Davis, a cheerful and hard-working young soldier, who died of enteric. Formed horse depot at Standerton, and sent in 338 horses with Lieutenant W. D. Evans and 34 N.C.O.'s and men ; 302 remounts were received. During June there was constant skirmishing and both corps suffered casualties on many occasions. On the 11th, there was a brisk engagement near Kaffir's Spruit in the Ermelo district. Lieut.-Colonel Garratt, towards the end of the month, took over the Column which moved from The Springs east to Johannesburg. On 13th July, surprised and captured a laager at Kopjesfontein on the right of the Vaal ; and on 21st, captured two Boer convoys. On the 22nd, there was fighting near Lindique Drift ; and Colonel Garratt's force co-operated in some minor operations under General Elliott. Casualties were frequent about this time. In August substantial captures were made at Bultfontein. In September, October, and November, operations in the Wakkerstroom district and east of Transvaal. In December, Colonel Garratt marched to Newcastle by Botha's Pass, and through Drakensberg, to cover the construction of blockhouses in that corner of the Orange River Colony. This task having been completed, the Column was, with that of Colonel Dunlop, put under the command of Colonel Hon. J. H. G. Byng. On 2nd February, 1902, Colonel Byng, being then at Liebenberg's Vlei, to the west of Reitz, heard of a Boer convoy in the neighbourhood, and at once pursued. The 6th Queensland Imperial Bushmen and the New Zealanders charged the 2 K 2 508 enemy's rearguard with much gallantry, whilst the South African Light Horse bravely rushed the centre. Three guns, 3 wagons laden with ammunition, 26 prisoners (including 2 captains and a field cornet), 150 horses and mules, and 750 cattle were taken ; 5 Boers were killed and 8 wounded. After this, all the Columns in the district engaged in a big drive towards the railway ; which operation ended on 8th February, when it was found that 300 prisoners had been taken. During March, Colonel Garratt's command took part in further drives in the Orange River Colony ; and in April in a concerted movement of many Columns, from the Standerton line to the Delagoa railway and back.

PETERS and MARY ANN CHANCE ABSTRACT: Cyrus Lerner, an investigative lawyer, produced a report on chiropractic that identified the period of 1902-1904 as "The Lost Years" of chiropractic. This paper is an attempt to fill in that period based on later published research and our own investigations. INDEXTERMSiMeSH: CHIROPRACTIC; HISTORICAL ARTICLE. Chiropr J Aust 2003; 33: 2-10.

INTRODUCTION 1 Purpose and Scope Methodology II. INDEX S BIBLIOGRAPHY 40 ii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION An index, as defined in the American Library Association's Glossary of Terms, is "a list of topics, names, et cetera, treated in a book or a group of books, with references to pages where they occur." Robert Collison said: The indexing of periodicals is based on the same principles as those for the indexing of books, but it involves a stricter discipline, a wider knowledge of unswerving consistency. ...An index to perioci- cals is however an operation carried out over a long period ... and it covers a greater amount and variety of material, generally speaking. Continuative indexing means that the principles on which the index is compiled in one month must be strictly followed in all further installments if the reader is to discover quickly and easily all the material on his subject.2 At the time of the first publication of the Bulletin of Atlanta 3 University in June, 1883, the University itself had been in existence for fourteen years. The Bulletin was a link which provided reports on the progress of the University as well as progress of the South in general.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.
