Steven Zdatny, Andrew Buchanan, and Meaghan Emery University of Vermont History Department Honors College Thesis April 17, 2019 Acknowledgements: Nearly half of my time at UVM was spent working on this project. Beginning as a seminar paper for Professor Zdatny’s class in Fall 2018, my research on Churchill and De Gaulle slowly grew into the thesis that follows. It was a collaborative effort that allowed me to combine all of my fields of study from my entire university experience. This project took me to London and Cambridge to conduct archival research and made for many late nights on the second floor of the Howe Library. I feel an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment for this thesis that is reflective of the work I have done at UVM.

Vuria, son of Kalekona, a bigman from Gaeta, observed them, as did Holabosa (Holambooa). They were joined by Tavu, Utumate and Puko, and together they organised an attack. The naval party was unprepared and three sailors were beheaded with long-handled axes. One of party, named Savage, escaped and swam sixteen kilometres to Honggo where Pitia, a returned labourer, saved him and took him to Tambukoro for protection. Bower, who had been sketching at the time of the attack, ran into the forest and hid in a hollow tree, but was found and killed. The Sandfly searched for the missing party and found Savage, and then returned to Sydney to report the incident. The navy sent HMS Emerald to punish the offenders, and many houses were burned. When the news reached England, public opinion demanded further action and HMS Cormorant and two smaller ships were despatched under Captain Bryce. The Australia Station virtually declared war on Nggela and blockaded the area. Bishop John Selwyn (q.v.), who was on Nggela atthetime, aided by Charles Sapibuana (q.v.), persuaded Kalekona to give up the four murderers and his own son, with the promise that there would be no further reprisals.

  • Hms Southampton 1981-1983
    Introduction - HMS SOUTHAMPTON — the sixth — was commissioned almost two years ago on 31st October, 1981. Seven months later, in June 1982, she sailed for the Falkland Islands Total Exclusion Zone and returned to UK as the South Atlantic winter ended and the next English winter was beginning. This year has seen a similar pattern with another 5-½ month South Atlantic deployment — once more covering the English summer. You may wonder how it is possible to produce a " Full Commission " book worth reading about a ship that in her first two years has seen five winters and no summers, two long South Atlantic deployments and only two short foreign runs (one of which was very bad!). The worthy fact is that it is people not programmes that primarily make for a happy and successful ship — although I am amongst the first to agree that the latter are important. Individual ships have an uncanny knack of retaining their character and personality from build and then passing these on through successive ship's companies. HMS Southamption will always be a friendly, cheerful and successful ship and we are right to record her early life and ship's company. She has covered over 83,000 miles in her first two years — almost twice as far as the average pre-Corporate operational frigate or destroyer in the same timescale. This book is your record of a slice of your life — mainly to remind you of the characters and personalities with whom you served. For me, personally, this book will always remind me with immense pleasure and much reassurance of the thoroughly supportive and cheerful team with whom I was privileged to serve after the extraordinary events of last year.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

  • CALL the HANDS NHSA DIGITAL NEWSLETTER Issue No.13 October 2017
    CALL THE HANDS NHSA DIGITAL NEWSLETTER Issue No.13 October 2017 From the President The Naval Historical Society of Australia (NHSA) has grown over more than four decades from a small Garden Island, Sydney centric society in 1970 to an Australia wide organization with Chapters in Victoria, WA and the ACT and an international presence through the website and social media. Having recently established a FACEBOOK presence with a growing number of followers. Society volunteers have been busy in recent months enhancing the Society’s website. The new website will be launched in December 2017 at our AGM. At the same time, we plan to convert Call the Hands into digital newsletter format in lieu of this PDF format. This will provide advantage for readers and the Society. The most significant benefit of NHSA membership of the Society is receipt of our quarterly magazine, the Naval Historical Review which is add free, up to fifty pages in length and includes 8 to 10 previously unpublished stories on a variety of historical and contemporary subjects. Stories greater than two years old are made available to the community through our website. The membership form is available on the website. If more information is required on either membership or volunteering for the Society, please give us a call or e-mail us. Activities by our regular band of willing volunteers in the Boatshed, continue to be diverse, interesting and satisfying but we need new helpers as the range of IT and web based activities grows. Many of these can be done remotely. Other activities range from routine mail outs to guiding dockyard tours, responding to research queries, researching and writing stories.

  • Rofworld •WKR II
    '^"'^^«^.;^c_x rOFWORLD •WKR II itliiro>iiiiii|r«trMit^i^'it-ri>i«fiinit(i*<j|yM«.<'i|*.*>' mk a ^. N. WESTWOOD nCHTING C1TTDC or WORLD World War II was the last of the great naval wars, the culmination of a century of warship development in which steam, steel and finally aviation had been adapted for naval use. The battles, both big and small, of this war are well known, and the names of some of the ships which fought them are still familiar, names like Bismarck, Warspite and Enterprise. This book presents these celebrated fighting ships, detailing both their war- time careers and their design features. In addition it describes the evolution between the wars of the various ship types : how their designers sought to make compromises to satisfy the require - ments of fighting qualities, sea -going capability, expense, and those of the different naval treaties. Thanks to the research of devoted ship enthusiasts, to the opening of government archives, and the publication of certain memoirs, it is now possible to evaluate World War II warships more perceptively and more accurately than in the first postwar decades. The reader will find, for example, how ships in wartime con- ditions did or did not justify the expecta- tions of their designers, admiralties and taxpayers (though their crews usually had a shrewd idea right from the start of the good and bad qualities of their ships). With its tables and chronology, this book also serves as both a summary of the war at sea and a record of almost all the major vessels involved in it.
