They simply would not be able to complete the tasks they set for themselves. I am certainly no exception and have many people to thank for their help and support. Of course, how their influence has shaped the work that is in front of you now is entirely my responsibility. It goes without saying that any mis- takes or errors in it are my own. There are many advantages and disadvantages to studying outside the country of one’s research topic. Living in New Zealand meant I could not have been farther removed from the materials I needed for a study of the Netherlands in the Great War. Luckily, the financial aid given by the University of Canterbury’s History Depart- ment as well as the Canterbury Historical Association’s Postgraduate Travel Grant, allowed me to travel to the Netherlands on three separate occasions during my PhD. I am very grateful for this support. The History Department at the University of Auckland, where I am presently employed, must also be thanked for their unquali- fied encouragement. I am very grateful to the Faculty of Arts at the University of Auckland for a subvention without which this publication would not have come off the ground. A special note of thanks goes out to Igor Drecki, in the Geography Department of the University of Auckland, for his wonderful work on the maps. But foremost I wish to thank my thesis supervisor at the University of Canterbury, Dr.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. University of Birmingham School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law October, 2014.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • The Ottoman Conscription System, 1844–1914
    International Review of Social History 43 (1998), pp. 437–449 1998 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis The Ottoman Conscription System, 1844–1914 E RIK J AN Z U¨ RCHER The introduction of conscription in the Ottoman Empire of course was closely linked to the introduction of a European-style army, but it did not coincide with it. As is well known, the first attempt to create an army which was trained, equipped and dressed in the contemporary European fashion, was made by Sultan Selim III in 1792. His Nizam-i Cedid (New Order) army by all accounts was quite an impressive achievement in itself. Starting from a strength of about 2,500, the corps had 22,685 men and 1,590 officers in 1806, half of them stationed in the capital, the rest in provincial centres in Anatolia. When pressure against him and his new army on the part of the old army establishment, primarily the Janissaries, mounted, however, the Sultan succumbed without any attempt to use the considerable strength of his new army and disbanded the corps in 1808.1 The Nizam troops constituted a professional army. They were not recruited on the basis of universal conscription, but rather in a fashion which is reminiscent of the system introduced by Peter the Great in Russia or the Bunichah system in Persia.2 Governors and notables in Anatolia (not in the Balkans or the Arab provinces) were required to send contingents of peasant boys to Istanbul for training. Those enrolled in the corps remained under arms for an unspecified period.

DE MIK &sn IDA DE GROOT Medical Biological Laboratory TNO, 139 Lange Kleiweg, Rijsivijk 2100, The Netherlands {Received 4 August 1976) SUMMARY Using the microthread technique the survival of Escherichia coli MRE 162 in open air was measured in different parts of The Netherlands. The presence of bactericidal compounds (open air factor = OAF) could be demonstrated on several days and quantitated in relative units of OAF concentration. In the absence of ozone the OAF concentration was always low. In the presence of ozone the OAF concentration was dependent on wind direction. At the selected microthread exposure sites air from areas with high traffic intensity contributed more to OAF production than air from industrial areas. OAF production is prob- ably related to the nature of hydrocarbons in the air. INTRODUCTION" In 1968 May & Druett described a technique (the 'microthread' technique) which made it possible to subject micro-organisms to any gaseous environment of interest for extended periods of time, during which their loss of viability might be assayed. In this procedure airborne micro-organisms are held on ultrafine spider threads, to provide a ' captive' aerosol. Using this technique it was demonstrated that the survival rate of Escherichia coli 162 exposed to open air is very low on certain days, in contrast with the survival in ' clean' air at the same relative humidity and temperature (Druett & Packman, 1968). Not only Escherichia coli, but also Serratia marcescens, Franciscella tvlarensis, Brucdla suis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and a group C Streptococcus appeared sensitive to open air (May, Druett & Packman, 1969).
