  • 'In a Country Churchyard'
    IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD - CHRISTCHURCH, MAGOURNEY. Near the village of Coachford is the Church of Ireland graveyard of Christchurch. It is a smallish, rectangular area behind the now deconsecrated church, and on first glance is of no more, or less interest than the vast majority of such resting places to be found throughout the country. But a closer inspection reveals a different picture, for among the 37 memorial stones dating from 1904 to 1995 can be found an extraordinary collection of memorials to officers of the British forces of World War One, together with some very interesting reminders of the old Protestant people of the parish, now gone to their rest. So, let's take a peek, in no particular order. The HAYES cross and grave. Rev Richard Thomas Hayes, M.A., was Rector of the parish for 31 years, and it was he who oversaw the laying out of the new graveyard. His own son Henry, a lieutenant in the Navy, who had joined the Navy as a midshipman in 1895 was fated to become the first to be buried in the new cemetery. Also in the grave is another son, Rev. Richard Babington Hayes, who was curate in Myross, and like his brother died at an early age. Their father, Rev. Richard Thomas is also here buried, and the Cork Examiner carries an interesting account of his funeral, attended by all classes and creeds in the parish, in 1911. The LEADER/JELLETT monument commemorates Frank Leader (F H M Leader) of Classas and his family. Among them are his son William (F W M) Leader, lately of the Connaught Rangers (The Devil's Own), who was killed in action 26th August 1914.

I will never forget the compassion and strength that they demonstrated over the course of this project. Zoltan Barany developed my skills as a teacher, and provided a thoughtful reading of my first peer-reviewed article. David M. Buss kept an open mind when I approached him about this interdisciplinary project, and has remained a model of patience while I worked towards its completion. My work with Tom Palaima and Paul Woodruff began with collaboration, and then moved to friendship. Inevitably, I became their student, though they had been teaching me all along.

  • Whitehall, Industrial Mobilisation and the Private Manufacture of Armaments: British State-Industry Relations, 1918-1936
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Whitehall, Industrial Mobilisation and the Private Manufacture of Armaments: British State-Industry Relations, 1918-1936 Edward Frederick Packard A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, July 2009 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other persons is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 Abstract This thesis presents a comprehensive account of the complex relationship between the British government and the domestic military-naval arms industry from the armistice in 1918 until the period of rearmament in the 1930s. Challenging traditional „declinist‟ assumptions, it offers a multifaceted interpretation of the industry‟s strengths and weaknesses and its place in national security. In this regard, British governments always prioritised national interests over the private armament manufacturers‟ particular concerns and never formulated a specific policy to help them adjust to peacetime conditions. Indeed, the wartime experience of industrial mobilisation – the mass production of war material by ordinary firms – made specialist arms producers appear less important in supply planning: a view that proved more important than disarmament and retrenchment in damaging state-industry relations and, together with Britain‟s liberal economic traditions, helped to foster an enduring but exaggerated sense of relative weakness.
