  • In the Shadow of War
    (. o tL ý(-ct 5 /ýkOO IN THE SHADOW OF WAR Continuities and Discontinuities in the construction of the identities masculine of British soldiers, 1914 - 1924 i W" NLARGARET MILLNUN A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirementsof the University of Greenwich for the Degree of Doctor of PHosophy July 2002 ABSTRACT The upheavalsof the cataclysmof the First World War reverberatedthrough every comer of British society, how society was reconstructedafterwards is the subject of enormouscritical debate. This study examineshow masculinitieswere disrupted and. reconstructedduring and after the war. It is a study of British men, previously civilians, who becameservicemen in the First World War. It aims to map the continuitiesand discontinuitiesin the construction of their masculineidentities during war and in its aftermath in the 1920s. Pioneeredby feminist scholarsconcerned with analysingthe historical construction of femininity, the study of gender relations has becomea significant area of historical enquiry. This has resulted in a substantialbody of historical scholarshipon the history of masculinitiesand the increasingvisibility of men as genderedsubjects whose masculinities are lived and imagined. This thesis is informed by, and engageswith, the histories of masculinities. It also draws on recent historical researchon the cultural legacy of the war. The first chapter explores the subjectiveresponses to becominga soldier through an examinationof personalmemoirs; largely unpublishedsources drawn from memoriesand written or recordedby men as narrativesof their wartime experiences.The subject of the secondchapter is shell shock. The outbreak of shell shock among the troops aroused anxietiesabout masculinity. The competing versionsof masculinitieswhich emergedin military and medical discoursesis examined. Returning to individual memoirs,the chapter examineshow men producedtheir own representationsof the shell shockedman contesting other versions.

  • New Perspectives Onwest Africa Andworldwar
    Journal of African Military History 4 (2020) 5–39 brill.com/jamh New Perspectives on West Africa and World War Two Introduction Oliver Coates University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK [email protected] Abstract Focusing on Anglophone West Africa, particularly Nigeria and the Gold Coast (Ghana), this article analyses the historiography of World War Two, examining recruitment, civil defence, intelligence gathering, combat, demobilisation, and the predicament of ex- servicemen. It argues that we must avoid an overly homogeneous notion of African participation in the war, and that we should instead attempt to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants, as well as differentiating in terms of geography and education, all variables that made a significant difference to wartime labour condi- tions and post-war prospects. It will show how the existing historiography facilitates an appreciation of the role of West Africans in distinct theatres of combat, and exam- ine the role of such sources as African war memoirs, journalism and photography in developing our understanding of Africans in East Africa, South and South-East Asia, and the Middle East. More generally, it will demonstrate how recent scholarship has further complicated our comprehension of the conflict, opening new fields of study such as the interaction of gender and warfare, the role of religion in colonial armed forces, and the transnational experiences of West Africans during the war. The article concludes with a discussion of the historical memory of the war in contemporary West African fiction and documentary film.

  • Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY In Trade: Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Emma Goldsmith EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the richest people in Glasgow and Liverpool at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. It focuses on those in shipping, trade, and shipbuilding, who had global interests and amassed large fortunes. It examines the transition away from family business as managers took over, family successions altered, office spaces changed, and new business trips took hold. At the same time, the family itself underwent a shift away from endogamy as young people, particularly women, rebelled against the old way of arranging marriages. This dissertation addresses questions about gentrification, suburbanization, and the decline of civic leadership. It challenges the notion that businessmen aspired to become aristocrats. It follows family businessmen through the First World War, which upset their notions of efficiency, businesslike behaviour, and free trade, to the painful interwar years. This group, once proud leaders of Liverpool and Glasgow, assimilated into the national upper-middle class. This dissertation is rooted in the family papers left behind by these families, and follows their experiences of these turbulent and eventful years. 3 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the advising of Deborah Cohen. Her inexhaustible willingness to comment on my writing and improve my ideas has shaped every part of this dissertation, and I owe her many thanks.

  • Captain Frank Young and His Son, 2 Lt Frank Young, VC
    Captain Frank Young and his son, 2nd Lt Frank Young, VC I met Richard Young briefly at a meeting of the East Kent Branch of the Western Front Association in Canterbury in 2013. Knowing of my involvement in Step Short in Folkestone, Richard told me that his grandfather, Captain Frank Young, had been Deputy Town Commandant in Folkestone during WW1. On 9 June 2013, I was on The Leas in Folkestone supervising a living history event highlighting Folkestone’s WW1 history. One of the displays was in front of Clifton Crescent, the location of No 3 Rest Camp. A number of contemporary photos of the camp were on display, including some from the album of Margaret Mitchell, QMAAC (her album is featured on the Footsteps pages of this website). I noticed Richard Young studying the photo below; he was excited at the presence of his grandfather in the picture, and I promised to send him a copy. A little searching of the internet revealed further information about Frank Young and his son, also Frank, who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross in WW1. The younger Frank was the elder brother of Richard’s father. Richard tells me that his grandfather and grandmother lived in Folkestone after the war, at 139 Dolphins Road, until Frank’s death in 1952. With grateful acknowledgements to Richard Young and to the authors of the following information. Above: Capt Frank Young, deputy Town Commandant Folkestone, back row left, poses with staff from No3 Rest Camp, The Leas, Folkestone, in 1918.

Date…………………………………………….. 1 Abstract Little has been written about the Territorial Air Force (TAF) as a voluntary military organisation and no sustained analysis of its recruitment and social composition undertaken. Made up of three different parts, the Auxiliary Air Force (AAF), the Special Reserve (SR) and the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR), these three separate and different groups have not featured significantly in existing literature. Current historiography of the AAF and SR is dominated by the experiences of 600 and 601 Squadrons based in London and presents a popular image of a gentleman's flying club, whilst that of the RAFVR presents an image of a much more egalitarian institution, intended to be a citizens’ air force.

POINT OF FAILURE PJ MC CARTY – UNIVERSITY OF WOLVERHAMPTON ABSTRACT By the summer of 1940 the British Army had suffered two simultaneous strategic defeats in Norway and France. Both had led to hurried and ignominious evacuations. A popular misconception contends that this led to a wholesale clearing out of the British Army’s command structure in order to start again, and that many officers suffered the loss of their careers in the necessity to rebuild an army both to withstand invasion and enable victory over Nazi Germany. This thesis contends that this belief is misplaced, and that rather than automatically ending the careers of all involved, some officers would progress and even thrive after 1940 in varying degrees.

Abstract During the First World War, the high mortality rate of officers led to an officer shortage. This, in turn, resulted in the Army promoting officers from the ranks rather than drawing on the traditional supply of upper-middle-class, public-school-educated officers, giving lower- middle-class men the opportunity to obtain temporary commissions. In an effort to standardize the process of granting commissions to rankers, the Army created Officer Cadet Battalions, which offered a four-month crash course in the art of being an officer to candidates recommended by their commanding officer in the field.

  • Reciprocal Haunting: Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy
    Karen Patrick Knutsen Karen Patrick Reciprocal Haunting Faculty of Arts and Education English Reciprocal Haunting: Pat Barker's Reciprocal Pat Barker’s fictional account of the Great War, The Regeneration Trilogy, completed in 1995, won wide popular and critical acclaim and established her as a major contemporary British writer. Although the trilogy appears to be written in the realistic style of the traditional historical novel, Barker approaches the past with certain preoccupations from 1990s Britain and rewrites the past as seen through these contemporary lenses. Consequently, the trilogy conveys a sense of reciprocal haunting; the past Karen Patrick Knutsen returns to haunt the present, but the present also haunts Barker’s vision of the past. This haunting quality is developed through an extensive, intricate pattern of intertextuality. This study offers a reading of trauma, class, gender and psychology as thematic areas where intertexts Regeneration are activated, allowing Barker to revise and re-accentuate stories of the past. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s concept of discourse and Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of dialogue, it focuses on the trilogy as an interactive link in an intertextual chain of communication about the Great War. My reading shows that the trilogy presents social structures from different historical epochs through dialogism and Trilogy Reciprocal Haunting diachronicity, making the present-day matrices of power and knowledge that continue to determine people’s lives highly visible. The Regeneration Trilogy regenerates the past, simultaneously confirming Barker’s claim that the historical novel can also be “a backdoor into the present”.

  • The Free Church Army Chaplain, 1830-1930
    THE FREE CHURCH ARMY CHAPLAIN 1830-1930 JOHN HANDBY THOMPSON CB MA PhD Thesis DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD Submitted October 1990 THE FREE CHURCH ARMY CHAPLAIN 1830-1930 J H THOMPSON CB MA The study traces the efforts of English Nonconformists to provide chaplains for their adherents in the British Army. Unrecognised by the War Office, and opposed by the Church of England, the Wesleyan Methodists persisted in providing an unpaid civilian ministry until, by stages, they secured partial recognition in 1862 and 1881. The respect earned by volunteer Wesleyan civilian chaplains, who accompanied the troops on most colonial and imperial expeditions in the last quarter of the century, culminating in the Boer War, prompted the War Office in 1903 to offer them a number of commissioned chaplaincies. The Wesleyans declined the offer. Although they had earlier, and after anguished debate, accepted State payment of chaplains, they were not prepared to accept military control of them. In the Great War, Wesleyan chaplains were nevertheless obliged to accept temporary commissions. Congregationalists, Baptists, Primitive and United Methodists, through a United Board, provided another stream of chaplains. With the political help of Lloyd George, both sets of Nonconformists secured equitable treatment at the hands of the Church of England and, through an Interdenominational Committee, gained positions of considerable influence over chaplaincy policy. In the field, remarkably for the age, they joined with Presbyterians and Roman Catholics in a single chain of command. By 1918, over 500 Wesleyan and United Board commissioned chaplains were engaged. After the war, as the price of retaining their newly won standing and influence, both the Wesleyans and the United Board denominations accepted permanent commissions for their chaplains and their absorption within a unified Chaplains Department.

  • Cheque Fraud and Canadian Gentlemen Officers During the First World War
    Worthless Cheques and Financial Honour: Cheque Fraud and Canadian Gentlemen Officers during the First World War MATTHEW BARRETT* A social history of dishonoured cheques offers unique insights into notions of gentlemanliness and masculinity during the First World War by tracing Canadian officers’ personal interactions and financial transactions. Prosecuting cheque fraud by general court martial often required overseas authorities to intrude on private affairs of officers, thus marking the uncertain divide between military discipline and public scandal. Despite the idealized image of the respectable officer and gentleman as the epitome of financial integrity and trustworthiness, the boundary between reputable and disreputable behaviours proved more ambiguous depending on the specific social context in which an officer passed a worthless cheque. Une histoire sociale des chèques sans provision jette un nouvel éclairage sur les notions de gentleman et de masculinité durant la Première Guerre mondiale par le biais des interactions personnelles et des transactions financières des officiers canadiens. Les poursuites pour fraude par chèque par la cour martiale générale exigeaient souvent des autorités outre-mer qu’elles s’immiscent dans les affaires privées des officiers et, donc, qu’elles fassent la part – pas toujours claire – entre discipline militaire et scandale public. Malgré la représentation idéalisée de l’officier respectable et du gentleman, en qui on voyait des modèles d’intégrité financière et de fiabilité, il existait un certain flou entre comportement honorable et comportement déshonorant, selon le contexte social précis dans lequel l’officier avait fait un chèque sans fonds. * Matthew Barrett is a PhD candidate in the department of History at Queen’s University.
