    The Guernsey Irishmen During World War I, the Royal Irish Regiment raised a total of 10 battalions from the pre-war two regular and two reserve battalions. The additional battalions included two service battalions in Kitchener's First and Second Armies, a battalion formed in 1917 from the dismounted South Irish Horse, a further service battalion and two Garrison Battalions. The regiment won 42 battle honours and one Victoria Cross, but lost 2,780 men as casualties. The 6th (Service) Battalion RIR formed at Clonmel in Ireland on 6th September 1914 and in March 1915 it was joined by a company from the Guernsey Militia On Thursday 30 July 1914 the “General Order Embodying the Royal Militia of Guernsey” was published in French and English. This stated that “Whereas by article 9 of the Ordinance relating to Royal Militia of the Island of Guernsey….it is provided that, in certain special circumstances, the States of the island of Guernsey shall furnish a contingent of militia consisting of 2,000 non- commissioned officers and men, to be embodied for such period of active service as shall be prescribed by Royal Proclamation or by General Order of the Lieutenant Governor, and whereas in my opinion such special circumstances have arisen; now therefore in pursuance of the said Ordinance I do hereby order that 1,000 non-commissioned officers and men, Effectives of the said contingent of Militia, be forthwith embodied from this date until further orders, and further that the remainder of the above said contingent, viz: 1,000 men of Section “A” of the Reserve, be prepared to join their respective Regiments when called upon..(signed), H.M Lawson, Major-General, Lieutenant Governor and General Officer commanding the Troops in the Island of Guernsey and its Dependencies.

In early 1941, G.H.Q. India ordered the raising of a second armoured division in India, to be designated as the 2nd Indian Armoured Division. The two armoured brigades raised to become part of this new division were the 4th and 5th Indian Armoured Brigades. This brigade was raised at the cavalry depot at Risalpur in India with effect from 1 April 1941 as the 4th Indian Armoured Brigade under the command of Brigadier (Acting) William Thomas GILL, M.C.*. GILL was promoted from command of the 3rd Carabiniers then stationed in India, and was a British officer in the Regular Army. The first unit to join the brigade did not do so until August 1941, this being the 46th Cavalry; itself a newly raised regiment.

    Rustin Military Collection

    Richard Rustin Military Books Donated 3 October 2009 THE RUSTIN MILITARY COLLECTION The Rustin Military Collection consists of nearly a thousand military books and periodicals collected by Richard E. Rustin during his lifetime. His wife, Ginette Rustin, donated this collection from his estate to the Archive Center and Genealogy Department, Indian River County Main Library, in October 2009 – April 2010. Richard E. Rustin passed away July, 2008. His wife considered him a genius regarding military history. He was a brilliant writer, a former reporter, manager and assistant chief of the New York news bureau. He edited coverage at the heart of the Wall Street Journal’s financial and economic news operations. He served in the U. S. Navy as an officer from 1956 to 1959. The focus of his collection centered on World War I and World War II. The collection also includes books on the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Mexican War, Korean War, and Viet Nam War, among others. Regimental histories and books of detailed campaigns, military science, military equipment and biography predominate. The library is very fortunate to have such a magnificent research collection containing many rare, out of print and hard to find volumes. It should be of great interest to anyone exploring military history. To date, the complete collection has been processed and is available to the public in the Genealogy Department.

    James Anthony Horne 2Nd Lieutenant, 16 Th Battalion London Regiment (Queen’S Westminster Rifles) !

    ! James Anthony Horne 2nd Lieutenant, 16 th Battalion London Regiment (Queen’s Westminster Rifles) ! James Anthony Horne was born on 3 August 1892 and was baptised on 1 September that year in the Parish Church of St. James, Islington. The ceremony was performed by James’s father the Reverend Joseph White Horne, Vicar of St. James at that time. The family address is given as St. James Vicarage, Islington. In 1901 Joseph became Vicar at St. Mary Magdalene, Monkton, Kent, and the family, by this time including three children, took up residence in the Vicarage there. The Census of that year shows a nurse (domestic), a cook and two housemaids also resident at the Vicarage so the family obviously had plenty of help and lived in some comfort. Their stay in Monkton was fairly short however, and by 1905 they were living at Ivy House, High Street, Highgate, North London, where they were to remain until the outbreak of the war. They moved once more to reside briefly at Chesham Bois, Buckinghamshire, with Joseph by that time being retired, but returned to London, firstly to Highgate and subsequently to Kensington where he was to live out the remainder of his life. James received his secondary school education at Highgate School which he entered in September 1904. He left in July 1910 having been awarded a Choral Exhibition to Christ’s College, Cambridge. He studied there for four years gaining honours in both parts of the Theological Tripos and being awarded his B.A. Degree. As one would expect, he had a fine voice and he regularly performed as a member of a vocal quartet.

    TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London

    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.
