  • Number of Soldiers That Joined the Army from Registered Address in Scotland for Financial Years 2014 to 2017
    Army Secretariat Army Headquarters IDL 24 Blenheim Building Marlborough Lines Andover Hampshire, SP11 8HJ United Kingdom Ref: FOI2017/10087/13/04/79464 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.army.mod.uk XXX XXXXXXXXXXX 5 December 2017 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dear XXXXXX, Thank you for your email of 14 October in which you clarified your request of 6 October to the following : ‘In particular please clarify what you mean by ‘people from Scotland’. Are you seeking information regarding individuals who identify themselves as being Scottish regardless of where they live now, or people who currently have a Scottish address regardless of their background or country of origin? Please note that for the MOD Joint Personnel Administration, some of the nationality options an individual can record themselves as include ‘British’, ‘Scottish’ or ‘British Scottish’. I was mainly looking for those having joined the Army from a Scottish address as I’m looking at how many people located in Scotland join the Army. Further clarification is required concerning the second part of your request - please clarify if you want Corps and Infantry Regiment (In essence Cap badge) or Corps and Infantry totals. Please note that a proportion of those who joined the untrained strength in 2016 may still be in training. Yes please, looking for Cap Badge of entrants from Scotland should this information exist. Finally please confirm that you require the information for both parts of your request by Financial Years 2014, 2015 & 2016. Yes please, If the information exists for each year then I would be grateful for this. If this is significantly time consuming then 2016 would be sufficient.’ I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

  • Military Structures – a Background Note
    1 Military Structures – A Background Note The army or navy unit in which a man served is stated in his biography. The following ranks are found among our Amersham servicemen: Officers: sub-lieutenant; lieutenant; second lieutenant. Other ranks: company sergeant major; sergeant; corporal; bombardier; lance corporal; guardsman; private; trooper; sapper; gunner; rifleman; driver; able seaman. Our men served in many different units. Naturally, more served in the county infantry regiment – the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (OBLI) – than in any other military formation. Some were in specialised formations or corps such as artillery and engineers. Many of our Amersham men served in more than one unit. Transfers from one to another were made for many reasons, including promotions. Casualties were so numerous that some regiments and battalions virtually ceased to exist and survivors were transferred to other units. Some new battalions were created with men from battalions which were no longer large enough to continue as separate fighting forces. A few of our men were regular soldiers or in the reserves, e.g. Thomas George Irons and William John Slade both joined the 1st Battalion OBLI in around 1909. At the outbreak of the war the British Army was composed entirely of regular, volunteer soldiers: there were no conscripts as there were in the armies and reserves of most continental countries. The Territorial Force (TF) was composed largely of men who had served some years full-time in the army. The so-called ‘First Line’ units were men who had undertaken a commitment to serve abroad. In the ‘Second Line’ units no such commitment had been given; however, when in 1916 conscription was brought in by law, all men were deemed to have agreed to serve outside the UK.
