  • DECEMBER 1914 As It Was the Festive Season the Hamilton Hippodrome
    DECEMBER 1914 As it was the festive season the Hamilton Hippodrome were running the Panto 'Goodie Two Shoes' starring some local 'mirth provokers' and the wounded Belgians soldiers housed in the area were taken to the cinema by the Provost's wife, Mrs Moffat. Collections were being made for the children of the men who are on active duty over the Christmas season and to put into some kind of perspective the numbers of men who were fighting abroad, the Burnbank Parish Church roll of honour already contained over 300 names. The volunteer home guard Hamilton Citizen Force had over 100 members and nationwide the number of these was said to be one million. Yet a military strategy expert poured scorn on the idea that Britain could be invaded as the Germans would have difficulty in transporting the number of men to mount an assault and even more trouble keeping them supplied with food and ammunition. Across the country at Dover, German warships bombed the area for two hours, destroying houses, a church and a school, with estimates that 100 were killed and 450 were injured. This explained why a man who was caught signalling Morse code from a mountaintop to a passing ship in Wales was put on £600 bail, which would be around £15,000 in today’s money. Another was given eight weeks in prison for 'spreading a report likely to cause harm among the civil population'. The ex-consul from Germany had his conviction of high treason quashed, saving him from the death penalty. In international news, a toddler girl from New Zealand donated her pet lamb to be auctioned off to raise funds for the war effort.

  • The Christmas Truce Background Information • the First World War Began in August 1914 and Lasted Until November 1918
    The Christmas Truce Background Information • The First World War began in August 1914 and lasted until November 1918. • By December 1914, fighting between the Allies (the British and French forces) and Germany was the worst it had been so far. • When the war first began, many people in Britain believed that it would be ‘over by Christmas’. However, by December, the war was still going on. What was happening at Christmas? • Many of the soldiers, on both sides, wanted to call a truce (to stop the fighting) on Christmas Day. • However, the British generals did not agree with this and wanted to stop the truce from happening. What started The Christmas Truce? • Late on Christmas Eve, the sound of Christmas carol singing could be heard from the German troops. • The British troops could also see small fir trees and lanterns decorating the German trenches. What happened in ‘No Man’s Land’? • ‘No Man’s Land’ was the middle area of the battlefield where the soldiers met up to sing Christmas carols. • The men even gave each other gifts. The British gave chocolate to the German soldiers, and the Germans gave sausages to the British. • They also had a funeral service for those soldiers who had died and buried them next to each other. The Christmas Truce What happened on Christmas Day? • A football match was played between German and British troops on Christmas Day. • It began when a British soldier kicked a football out of his trench. The German soldiers joined in and the match began. • It is reported that Germany won the match 3-2! Why did the truce end? • The generals and commanders in charge were angry about the truce.

  • The 1914 Christmas Truces and the Development of Twentieth Century Warfare
    Christmas in the Trenches: The 1914 Christmas Truces and the Development of Twentieth Century Warfare History Major Seminar Thesis Jeanie Gordon Professor Laura Beers 27 April 2011 Abstract: History has been fraught with reports of soldiers fraternising with enemy troops during wartime. Soldiers shouted to each other and exchanged vodka during the Crimean War (1853-1856) 1 and allowed the enemy to forage for food unimpeded during the American Civil War 2. This paper will work to determine why the tradition of temporary cease-fires, particularly during the holiday season, ended after the Christmas of 1914. In the nearly one hundred years since this critical date, the truce has captured the imagination of millions of people for its symbolism as the turning point of the war and the positive images it proposes of humanity. Previously, soldiers, officers, journalists, and citizens believed that the war would be over by Christmas. Instead, the continued conflict after the holiday season signalled the end of the warfare of gentlemen and the beginning of modern warfare. The principal aim of this paper is to determine why Christmas 1914 became a symbolic turning point in military history. It will examine diary entries of soldiers, newspaper articles of the time, soldiers’ letters to home, as well as secondary source material to achieve this goal. 1 ‘Incidents of the Crimean War.’ New York Times .

  • South Africa Mobilises: the First Five Months of the War Dr Anne Samson 
    5 Scientia Militaria vol 44, no 1, 2016, pp 5-21. doi:10.5787/44-1-1159 South Africa Mobilises: The First Five Months of the War Dr Anne Samson Abstract When war broke out in August 1914, the Union of South Africa found itself unprepared for what lay ahead. When the Imperial garrison left the Union during September 1914, supplies, equipment and a working knowledge of British military procedures reduced considerably. South Africa was, in effect, left starting from scratch. Yet, within five months and despite having to quell a rebellion, the Union was able to field an expeditionary force to invade German South West Africa and within a year agree to send forces to Europe and East Africa. This article explores how the Union Defence Force came of age in 1914. Keywords: South Africa, mobilisation, rebellion, Union Defence Force, World War 1 1. Introduction In August 1914, South Africa, along with many other countries, found itself at war. It was unprepared for this eventuality – more so than most other countries. Yet, within six weeks of war being declared, the Union sent a force into neighbouring German South West Africa. This was a remarkable achievement considering the Union’s starting point, and that the government had to deal with a rebellion, which began with the invasion. The literature on South Africa’s involvement in World War 1 is increasing. Much of it focused on the war in Europe1 and, more recently, on East Africa2 with South West Africa3 starting to follow. However, the home front has been largely ignored with most literature focusing on the rebellion, which ran from September to December 1914.4 This article aims to explore South Africa’s preparedness for war and to shed some insight into the speed with and extent to which the government had to adapt in order to participate successfully in it.

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.
