List of Recommended Great War Websites – 18 December 2020 CEF Study Group Recommended Great War Websites - 18 D e c e m b e r 2020 - http://cefresearch.ca/phpBB3/ Dwight G Mercer /aka Borden Battery – R e g i n a , C a n a d a © Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group – Recommended Great War Websites – December 2020 he 18 December 2020 edition of the Recommended Great War Websites by the Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group is part of the CEF Study Group internet T discussion forum dedicated to the study, sharing of information and discussion related to the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) in the Great War – in an “Open Source” mode. This List is intended to assist the reader in their research of a specific Great War theme with emphasis on the Canadian experience. Further, this recommended List of Great War websites is intended to compliment the active discourse on the Forum by its members. The function of the CEF Study Group List of Recommended Great War Websites (circa 2005) is to serve as a directory for the reader of the Great War. These websites have been vetted and grouped into logical sections. Each abstract, in general, attempts to provide a "key word" search to find websites of immediate interest. Surfing this List is one of the objectives. All aspects of the Canadian Expeditionary Force are open to examination. Emphasis is on coordinated study, information exchange, civil and constructive critiquing of postings and general mutual support in the research and study of the CEF. Wherever possible, we ask that members provide a reference source for any information posted. This will enable future readers to build upon the work of earlier researchers. In general, you will not find many websites on this List which glorify war - the common theme is generally to accurately document this world impacting event and to provide for the Remembrance and an understanding of those who participated in this historic world conflict. If you have a recommendation of a website related to either the Canadian Expeditionary Force and/or the Great War in general, or to report a broken website link, please forward a short note and URL address to “Borden Battery” [nomme de plume] on the CEF Study Group discussion forum under the “Recommended Website” thread. Many website abstracts include the name of the person who referred a good or unique website to this List. New websites are being assessed and stale and/or defunct website are now being culled on a regular basis. Exceptional websites have three asterisks. This edition is dedicated to the memory of Richard VanWyck Laughton, one of the Moderators of the CEF Study Group discussion forum. Richard passed away suddenly in August 2020. Edited and Copyright by D.G. Mercer – Regina, Canada © Page 2 of 214 Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group – Recommended Great War Websites – December 2020 In Q2 of 2012, the CEF Study Group was required to relocate to a new server and make a number of upgrades to its software and security. In addition, server costs have now increased, and the hundreds of hours of volunteer labour now requires donations to cover the internet server costs. A second major system upgrade was completed In Q1 of 2019 and the late Richard Laughton directed much of the technical reconfiguration of the discussion forum. Membership on the CEF Study Group forum is free - but donations gratefully accepted - as there are definite fixed costs associated with the operation and file maintenance of what are now substantial amounts of posted information – over 110,500 postings as of December 2020. Member backgrounds range from first-time neophytes of military history, to serious amateurs and finally to doctoral researchers and published authors. Everyone retains the informal status of "Other Ranks" or Privates on the CEF Study Group discussion forum - we all are expected to undertake "fatigue duties" for the Group. The synergy of over 1,000 members can be immense, especially for newer members just learning about the Canadian Corps. This List may be shared with any other interested parties; however, it is recommended it be retained intact for both continuity and completeness. And finally; and perhaps most importantly - this List is also dedicated to the many Webmasters and assistants who are creating an “Open Source” medium whereby the documentation, cataloguing and dissemination of cooperative research on the Great War is enabled by sharing. There are hundreds of thousands of hours of volunteer work invested to create this "community of information". As you visit and utilize the information on these websites, remember to provide suggestions and factual input to these webmasters - a thank you to these webmasters would also be appreciated. Please feel free to forward this List to other persons and groups interested in the Great War. Webmasters of all Great War websites have permission to use this List. The CEF Study Group Discussion Forum can be accessed at the following URL address: http://cefresearch.ca/phpBB3/ New additions for 18 December 2020 edition are in KHAKI font. The List is under constant review and update. Suggestions for additional recommended Great War websites can be posted by members of the CEF Study Group Discussion Forum under “Recommended Websites”’. http://www.cefresearch.ca/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=10&sid=6d8d40c6925d85fc729719d79114ca7e Edited and Copyright by D.G. Mercer – Regina, Canada © Page 3 of 214 Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group – Recommended Great War Websites – December 2020 The CEF Study Group forum was formed in 2004 and was generally based around some of the original "Canadian Pals" who first met on the Great War Forum discussion site based in Great Britain. As our requirements were more specific, there was a desire to create this discussion forum over 15 years ago - eons on the Internet. As there have been numerous key volunteers on the CEF Discussion Forum over the years, we will not mention any by name for fear of omission. Volunteers, much like the original soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, remain the cornerstone of this effort. However, it is the daily contribution of the members themselves (the Other Ranks) which is the “engine” which drives the continual development of this discussion forum and its expanding base of data. Membership is free. However; it should be noted the monthly internet fees are covered by voluntary member donations. Below is a “PrintScreen” of the CEF Study Group Discussion Forum index page. Prospective members need to subscribe and the usual process to confirm you are not a “bot” and sign you up generally takes 1-2 days. New members are most welcome – they are the “roots” from which new group is sustained. http://cefresearch.ca/phpBB3/ Finally, this document may be used and/or forwarded to others on the condition it remains both intact and full reference is given to the CEF Study Group and D.G. Mercer of Regina. Webmasters are also most welcome to use this List and also link to the CEF Study Group should they wish – it is the work of the hundreds of Webmasters which has created this List .

  • 1 Old, Unhappy, Far-Off Things a Little Learning
    1 Old, Unhappy, Far-off Things A Little Learning I have not been in a battle; not near one, nor heard one from afar, nor seen the aftermath. I have questioned people who have been in battle - my father and father-in-law among them; have walked over battlefields, here in England, in Belgium, in France and in America; have often turned up small relics of the fighting - a slab of German 5.9 howitzer shell on the roadside by Polygon Wood at Ypres, a rusted anti-tank projectile in the orchard hedge at Gavrus in Normandy, left there in June 1944 by some highlander of the 2nd Argyll and Sutherlands; and have sometimes brought my more portable finds home with me (a Minie bullet from Shiloh and a shrapnel ball from Hill 60 lie among the cotton-reels in a painted papier-mache box on my drawing-room mantelpiece). I have read about battles, of course, have talked about battles, have been lectured about battles and, in the last four or five years, have watched battles in progress, or apparently in progress, on the television screen. I have seen a good deal of other, earlier battles of this century on newsreel, some of them convincingly authentic, as well as much dramatized feature film and countless static images of battle: photographs and paintings and sculpture of a varying degree of realism. But I have never been in a battle. And I grow increasingly convinced that I have very little idea of what a battle can be like. Neither of these statements and none of this experience is in the least remarkable.

  • The History/Literature Problem in First World War Studies Nicholas Milne-Walasek Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate
    The History/Literature Problem in First World War Studies Nicholas Milne-Walasek Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a doctoral degree in English Literature Department of English Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Nicholas Milne-Walasek, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT In a cultural context, the First World War has come to occupy an unusual existential point half- way between history and art. Modris Eksteins has described it as being “more a matter of art than of history;” Samuel Hynes calls it “a gap in history;” Paul Fussell has exclaimed “Oh what a literary war!” and placed it outside of the bounds of conventional history. The primary artistic mode through which the war continues to be encountered and remembered is that of literature—and yet the war is also a fact of history, an event, a happening. Because of this complex and often confounding mixture of history and literature, the joint roles of historiography and literary scholarship in understanding both the war and the literature it occasioned demand to be acknowledged. Novels, poems, and memoirs may be understood as engagements with and accounts of history as much as they may be understood as literary artifacts; the war and its culture have in turn generated an idiosyncratic poetics. It has conventionally been argued that the dawn of the war's modern literary scholarship and historiography can be traced back to the late 1960s and early 1970s—a period which the cultural historian Jay Winter has described as the “Vietnam Generation” of scholarship.

  • 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. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

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.

  • The Blue Cap Journal of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers Association Vol
    THE BLUE CAP JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL DUBLIN FUSILIERS ASSOCIATION VOL. 23. DECEMBER 2018 Reflections on 1918 Tom Burke On 11 November 1917, at a meeting between Ludendorff and a select group of his advisers in Mons where the British and Germans had clashed back in August 1914, it was decided to knock Britain out of the war before any American entry into the war with decisive numbers of boots on the ground.1 As 1918 opened, the Western, Italian, Salonica and Turkish fronts were each the scene of no large-scale offensives but of sporadic fighting characterised by repeated raids and counter-raids.2 In terms of the eastern front, the German defeat of Russia and her consequential withdrawal from the war, presented Ludendorff and his commanders with a window of opportunity to end the war in the west. One result of Russia’s defeat was the accumulation of munition stocks and the release of large numbers of German troops for an offensive in the west.3 One estimate of the number of German troops available for transfer from east to west was put at 900,000 men.4 According to Gary Sheffield, ‘in the spring of 1918 the Germans could deploy 192 divisions, while the French and British could only muster 156.’ 5 However, according to John Keegan, the Allies had superior stocks of war material. For example, 4,500 Allied aircraft against 3,670 German; 18,500 Allied artillery weapons against 14,000 Germans and 800 Allied tanks against ten German.6 Yet despite this imbalance in material, the combination of a feeling of military superiority, and, acting before the Allies could grow in strength through an American entry along with rising economic and domestic challenges in Germany, all combined to prompt Ludendorff to use the opportunity of that open window and attack the British as they had planned to do back in Mons on 11 November 1917 at a suitable date in the spring of 1918.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Modern Women9s Poetry 1910-1929 Jane Dowson Abstract In tracing the publications and publishing initiatives of early twentieth-century women poets in Britain, this thesis reviews their work in the context of a male-dominated literary environment and the cultural shifts relating to the First World War, women’s suffrage and the growth of popular culture. The first two chapters outline a climate of new rights and opportunities in which women became public poets for the first time. They ran printing presses and bookshops, edited magazines and wrote criticism. They aimed to align themselves with a male tradition which excluded them and insisted upon their difference. Defining themselves antithetically to the mythologised poetess of the nineteenth century and popular verse, they developed strategies for disguising their gender through indeterminate speakers, fictional dramatisations or anti-realist subversions.

Newly developed technologies and weapons created an environment which no one had seen before, and as a result, an entire generation of soldiers and their families had to learn to cope with new conditions of shell shock. For many of those affected, poetry offered an outlet to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences. For Great Britain, the work of Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen and Robert Graves have been highly recognized, both at the time and in the present. Newspaper articles and reviews published by prominent companies of the time make it clear that each of these poets, who expressed strong opinions and feelings toward the war, deeply influenced public opinion.

But what if I told you there was something much bigger and more disastrous than the entirety of the first World War? That’s right, in the late between the years 1918 and 1919 a disease known as the Spanish flu wiped out over an estimated 50 million people.
