In Church Side we viewed a fire hydrant sign painted on the wall in World War II. This was a large white sign at eye level and could be identified more easily in the dark. In front of Holy Trinity we stopped to admire the statue of Andrew Marvell who has come to rest there after standing in several locations around Hull. Not all street furniture is old; the railings in Trinity Square commemorate the Hull 700 celebrations of 1999.

  • A History of 119 Infantry Brigade in the Great War with Special Reference To
    The History of 119 Infantry Brigade in the Great War with Special Reference to the Command of Brigadier-General Frank Percy Crozier by Michael Anthony Taylor A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract 119 Brigade, 40th Division, had an unusual origin as a ‘left-over’ brigade of the Welsh Army Corps and was the only completely bantam formation outside 35th Division. This study investigates the formation’s national identity and demonstrates that it was indeed strongly ‘Welsh’ in more than name until 1918. New data on the social background of men and officers is added to that generated by earlier studies. The examination of the brigade’s actions on the Western Front challenges the widely held belief that there was an inherent problem with this and other bantam formations. The original make-up of the brigade is compared with its later forms when new and less efficient units were introduced.

  • HISTORICAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION for SOME of the DESIGNS That Is Not Necessarily Depicted in the Exhibits
    HISTORICAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR SOME OF THE DESIGNS that is not necessarily depicted in the exhibits. This Flower Festival marks the centenary of the ending of World War 1. We hope you enjoy looking at the displays. In planning this exhibition we have learned so much - we hope you too will discover things you didn’t know before, and come to understand a little more about this very significant part of our recent history. 1b War Horse – our own Joey requisitioned from the farm As you arrive at the church you will see the magnificent horse inspired by Michael Morpurgo’s powerful novel about a farm horse named Joey that was bought by the Army for service in the Great War. Mechanised transport was cumbersome so horses were needed for moving supplies, armaments and casualties to and from the front line, and for the cavalry. Most supplies, i.e. ammunition, food, fuel, and munitions (weapons) were carried to the front on General Service wagons pulled by 4 or 6 horses. Sometimes, they pulled 2-wheeled limbered carts that held huge guns. Ambulances and other service vehicles were horse-drawn, too. Many requisitioned horses were much loved animals. Millions were needed, many shipped over from America, most of whom were killed or died of starvation. Few returned to East Yorkshire. 2 Yorkshire pole wagon and The Wolds Wagoners The unusual design of the East Yorkshire pole wagons required special expertise to drive them. The Wagoner’s Special Reserve, was formed by Sir Mark Sykes of Sledmere, who believed their unique talents were perfect for overcoming the front-line logistical problems he encountered in the Boer War.
