A M D G Beaumont Union Review Autumn 2018
A M D G BEAUMONT UNION REVIEW AUTUMN 2018 During this next quarter we will be marking the Centenary of the Armistice and the First World War that cost so many millions of lives came to an end. OBs were not the great ―movers and shakers‖ of that conflict but what an extraordinary part they played. George MacDonogh at the War Office had written the plan to move the BEF to France, then headed the military intelligence network which regrettably was ignored at crucial times. At the War‘s end he was responsible for the demobilisation of the Army. Mark Sykes redrew the map of the Middle East and with Hugh O‘Beirne brought about the Balfour Declaration. Boy Capel‘s considerable influence with Clemenceau on behalf of the British Government. Reginald de Croy and his Belgian resistance ring that Included the courageous but incompetent Nurse Cavell. Pierce Joyce together with Lawrence changed the tactics for Desert warfare which would impact into WW2. Osmond Prentis HMS Wolverine fired the opening shots of the war against the Ottomans. At a lower level Harry Butters the first American to join the fight and Henry Pearce who was responsible for what is now known as ―The Peace Crater‖. Finally Jack Marriott was one of the official witnesses to the Armistice that was signed at 5.12 am on the 11th November. Overall, our war dead was sadly among the highest of any school. Beaumont did indeed ―punch well above its weight‖. NOTICES THE BU LUNCH As previously announced will take place at the Caledonian Club, Halkin Street, Monday 8th October. -
Honouring the Armistice
PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | 8 NOVEMBER 2 0 1 8 HONOURING THE ARMISTICE CHRISTIE’S TO OFFER EYE WITNESS ACCOUNTS OF THE ARMISTICE FROM BRITISH OFFICER CAPTAIN JACK MARRIOTT December – On 12 December, Christie’s will offer eye witness accounts of the Armistice which ended ‘the war to end all wars’ (estimated - £10,000 - £15,000). The lot includes Captain Jack Marriott’s extraordinarily detailed accounts of the negotiations, alongside two autograph letters, a sheet of blotting paper used at the Armistice and a printed text of the terms of the Armistice itself. Marriott was one of only four British participants, and the notes and mementoes he kept summon up the scene with extraordinary vividness. Christie’s is pleased to offer such significant archival material on the year of the centenary of the end of World War I. The Armistice was negotiated between a remarkably restricted group of participants, comprising seven on the Allied side and six on the German side, including translators. For the three days of negotiations, all were living and working in a pair of French military trains in a clearing of the Front row, from left: Deputy First Sea Lord, Rear-Admiral George Hope; Forest of Compiegne behind French lines. The Allied group was headed General Maxime Wygand, Marshal by Marshal Foch, with Admiral Wemyss the senior British representative Foch’s chief of staff; First Sea Lord, Admiral Rosslyn Wemyss; Ferdinand and head of the naval delegation, to which Marriott was also attached Foch, Marshal of France and Supreme and whose negotiations he recounts in detail. -
