IN issuing this first edition of her Roll of Honour, containing over 730 names, the School obviously cannot claim for it either completeness or accuracy. Information as to Old Boys serving in His Majesty's Forces, carefully verified as it has been in each case, is at best casual : promotions, although as gratifying to the School as to those so honoured, yet occurring almost daily, have made the accompanying list only temporarily accurate. Old Boys, therefore, into whose hands this list may fall, will be doing those responsible for its compilation a marked service if they notify the Rector of any omission or error. To all Old Boys who are now completing their education and developing their manhood in the larger and severer school of an armed camp, the School, far more conscious at this moment of her debt to them than of their debt to her, sends a soldier's oreetinsf— " Good Luck : ' Glasgow High School, ROLL OF HONOUR.

Some of the tunes have been revised/updated, had some minor mistakes corrected, been improved slightly or had harmony added. Joe’s tunes are already in the public domain. I’m making all mine available too. All I ask is that if you use any of the tunes you acknowledge who wrote them. I’m not planning to publish this book in hardback. It is designed as an e-book which has several advantages over a conventional hard-back.

    1 Introduction

    Cambridge University Press 0521848008 - Citizen Soldiers: The Liverpool Territorials in the First World War Helen B. McCartney Excerpt More information 1 Introduction The First World War drew ordinary British men into an army that by 1918 numbered over 5 million soldiers.1 Some had volunteered to serve; others had been less willing and were conscripted later in the war. Most had little contact with the military in pre-war days, and before 1914 few would have contemplated participating in war. These men were first and foremost civilians, and this book examines their experience from their initial decision to enlist, through trench warfare on the Western Front, to death, discharge or demobilization at the end of the war. It is concerned with the soldier’s relationship both with the army and with home, and examines the extent to which these citizen soldiers maintained their civilian values, attitudes, skills and traditions and applied them to the task of soldiering in the period of the First World War. The popular image of the British soldier in the First World War is that of a passive victim of the war in general and the military system in particular. On joining the army a soldier supposedly ceased to act as an individual and lost his ability to shape his world. It is an image that has been reinforced by two historiographical traditions and is largely derived from a narrow view of the British soldier presented by the self-selecting literary veterans who wrote the disillusionment literature of the late 1920s and 1930s.2 For some historians, the characteristics of the British ‘Tommy’ have become synonymous with the qualities of the regular pre-war private soldier.

    The Glasgow Academy WW1 Roll of Honour From the onset of the First World War in 1914 until 1918, the Glasgow Academy suffered a great many losses during the conflict. In fact, it is believed there was a higher number of losses incurred when compared to other independent schools of the time. The following is a list of the former pupils who were casualties and as far as we have been able to, includes information and photographs to tell the stories of these men. In some case, we have little or no information about some of these individuals, so please get in touch if you have anything which could help us fill in the gaps and help us tell their stories.

In November 1939, it moved to Northern Command and then on 19 April 1940 to Eastern Command. It reorganised to a standard infantry division establishment in June 1940, when the 66th Infantry Division disbanded and the 199th Infantry Brigade joined this division.

    Is the Territorial Force a Sham?’ Were the Territorials a Militarily Capable Organisation Prior to the Great War, 1908-1914?: Are There Lessons to Be Learnt?

    ‘IS THE TERRITORIAL FORCE A SHAM?’ WERE THE TERRITORIALS A MILITARILY CAPABLE ORGANISATION PRIOR TO THE GREAT WAR, 1908-1914?: ARE THERE LESSONS TO BE LEARNT? Shaun Allan University of Hull The Territorial Force (TF - forerunner of the Territorial Army) before the Great War had a reputation for being a poorly trained, poorly led and inefficient organisation.1 Colonel Sir Mark Sykes, Commanding Officer (CO) of the 5th Battalion The Green Howards (TF) claimed that the ‘Territorial Army with its incomplete battalions, poor physique, lack of training, lack of material and lack of equipment, cannot be at present dignified with the name of an Army.’2 This criticism was made in 1908, shortly after the TF had formed replacing the expensive and poorly functioning Militia, Yeomanry (cavalry) and Volunteers. However, criticism of its poor training and poor equipment continued up until the outbreak of war and was disseminated through the journals and newspapers of the time especially by the National Service League (NSL – a pro-conscriptionist organisation) who saw the TF as a block to their progress.3 There was a real groundswell of anti-TF rhetoric during this period which criticized the organisations training methods as well as their purpose. Added to this was a strong bias towards citizen-soldiers from the public and professional soldiers alike, present ever since there have been professional and amateur soldiers working side by side, which presented itself, in the Territorials case, as either outright hostility or as satire subtle or otherwise.4 It could be said that the campaign by the NSL against the TF has clouded the way reservist soldiers are perceived right-up to the present day.
