HUDSON Under the DireCtion of Dr. Mohammed Hassen Ali and Dr. Jared Poley ABSTRACT Apart from a sense of racial superiority, which was certainly not unique to white Cape colonists, what is clear is that at the turn of the nineteenth century, Afrikaners were a disparate group. Economically, geographically, educationally, and religiously they were by no means united. Hierarchies existed throughout all cross sections of society. There was little political consciousness and no sense of a nation. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century they had developed a distinct sense of nationalism, indeed of a volk [people; ethnicity] ordained by God. The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze three key historical events, the emotional sentiments evoked by these nationalistic milestones, and the evolution of a unified Afrikaner identity that would ultimately be used to justify the abhorrent system of apartheid.

THE preparation of the following Work was sug­ gested by my brother, Lieutenant William Grant Prendergast, of the 8th Bengal Cavalry*, Persian Interpreter on the Staff of Lord Gough, Commander­ in-chief in India ; and from the same quarter much valuable assistance was originally derived, both as to the selection of topics, and the mode of treating them. Without the help of such military guidance, a mere civilian would have laboured under great disadvantages; and the merit, if any, of the Work, is therefore attributable to my coadjutor alone. For the composition, however, I am alone responsible. Officers in the Army are subject to a variety of special laws and legal· principles, which deeply affect their professional and private rights; and it is hoped that a Work, which endeavours to develope these subjects in a connected and untechnical form, will not be deemed a superfluous contribution to military literature. With this view, the following pages are by no means so much addressed to lawyers, as to a class of readers whose opportunities of access to legal publications are necessarily very limited; and care has been taken, in all · cases of importance, to set • Now Brevet-1\lfaj~r, and Acting Brigadier on the frontier of the Punjab.

    34 PAST AS FUTURE: THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR, DUTCH OBSERVERS AND MILITARY MEMORYa Henk de Jongb Netherlands Defence Academy “Het is ons niet minder om Nederland zelf te doen dan om Zuid-Afrika.”1 Abstract In 1900, the Dutch Ministry of War sent four military observers to South Africa, in an attempt to come to terms with the latest developments in the military field. Once in South Africa, the promising young Dutch officers selected for the mission remained focused strongly on decisive battles Jominian style, which they considered relevant for future warfare in Europe. They almost completely ignored guerrilla warfighting. However, inspired by the Boer commandos, their analysis of the Anglo-Boer War also ended in pleas for a fundamentally new relationship between army and society in Holland, and a new Dutch militia army organisation (a volksleger), comparable to the Boers’ commandos. Fascinatingly, this ideal of a militia army had probably much more to do with the observers’ interpretation of the Dutch national past and the values they Scientia Militaria, South African regarded characteristic of it, than with Journal of Military Studies, Vol contemporary South Africa, since the earliest 41, Nr 1, 2013, pp. 34-64 doi: 10.5787/41-1-1052 forms of the Dutch army were also believed to have been a volksleger.

Dawson III The comparative experiences of the nineteenth-century British and American Army officer’s wives add a central dimension to studies of empire. Sharing their husbands’ sense of duty and mission, these women transferred, adopted, and adapted national values and customs, to fashion a new imperial sociability, influencing the course of empire by cutting across and restructuring gender, class, and racial borders. Stationed at isolated stations in British India and the American West, many officers’ wives experienced homesickness and disorientation.

  • The Development of Civil War Brass Band Instruments Into Modern- Day Brass Band Instruments with a Related Teaching Unit for a High School General Music Course
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF CIVIL WAR BRASS BAND INSTRUMENTS INTO MODERN- DAY BRASS BAND INSTRUMENTS WITH A RELATED TEACHING UNIT FOR A HIGH SCHOOL GENERAL MUSIC COURSE Joseph M. Lewis Jr. A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2015 Committee: Vincent J. Kantorski, Advisor Bruce B. Moss © 2015 Joseph M. Lewis Jr All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Vincent J. Kantorski, Advisor The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to trace the development of civil war brass band instruments into modern-day brass band instruments and (b) to design a related teaching unit for a high school general music course. Historical sources for this study were books, scholarly articles, photographs of instruments, audio and video recordings, and music scores. I traced in this study the design, development, and uses during the Civil War of keyed bugles, ophecleides, and saxhorns. I then discussed how these transitioned to more modern brass band instruments, specifically keyed bugles to the trumpet and cornet, ophicleides to the Sousaphone, and saxhorns to other instruments. I interviewed Mr. Mark Elrod, the foremost expert on Civil War band instruments, about the design characteristics of Civil War era band instruments that have influenced the design of modern day band instruments, ways in which Civil War band instrumentation has affected the instrumentation of today’s school bands, and the importance for students in school music education programs to study Civil War era bands and music. Based upon the information acquired from these historical sources and the interview with Mr.
