    The British and Their Military

    ‘NOTHING CAN EXCUSE US IF WE FAIL’ The British and their Dead Servicemen, North-West Europe, 1944-1951 Submitted by Jennie Gray to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History In March 2016 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………… Page 1 Page 2 ABSTRACT Shortly after landing in France on D-Day, 6 June 1944, the British began a programme of care for the military dead of North-West Europe which would last for some seven years. The dead included not only the fatal casualties of the 1944-45 campaigns to liberate the occupied countries and conquer Germany, but also those who had died during the defeats in Norway and France in 1940. In addition, there the many thousands of missing RAF airmen who had been lost throughout the six years of the war. The Royal Navy, for obvious reasons, had few land-based dead, and thus it was the Army and the RAF who carried out the complex programme, ranging over vast areas of Europe and into Soviet territory as the Cold War began. The Army had the central role in registrations, exhumations, and the creation of the new military cemeteries, whilst the RAF’s focus was almost entirely upon the search for its missing airmen.

Reflective Essay Claremont Colleges Library Undergraduate Research Award Natalie McDonald, Pomona College ‘19 The story of my senior thesis begins less with a moment of inspiration than with one of idle curiosity. Were there, I wondered 15 months ago, women’s military services in the British colonies during the Second World War as there were in the U.K.? A few quick Google searches led me to an online version of “We Were There,” a 2000 Ministry of Defence photographic exhi- bition chronicling the involvement of non-white British subjects in the armed forces from the sev- enteenth century through to the modern day.1 The section of the exhibit devoted to the Second World War included a brief segment on “Women in War” featuring photographs of the Women’s Auxiliary Corps (India) as well as Middle Eastern members of the Auxiliary Territorial Service.
