  • World War One Blog June 1916
    Irish Voices from the First World War a blog based on PRONI sources June 1916 The Battle of Jutland, which began in the afternoon of 31 May, ended on 1 June with both sides claiming victory. On the 5 June Earl Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War, was drowned on his way to Russia. There was heavy fighting in the Ypres Salient and around Verdun, were the Germans continued to push back the French army. On the Eastern Front the Russian under Brusilov began a major offensive which regained some territory from the Germans and Austrians. Document 1: Account of the Battle of Jutland (D4168/F/1/1) The following account of the Battle of Jutland was written by R D King-Harman who was First Lieutenant of the destroyer HMS Midge, part of the 4th Destroyer Flotilla. About 3.00 pm on 31st (Wednesday) the Commander in Chief made a general signal for all ships to be prepared for immediate action. Our formation was then about 80 miles WNW of the nearest point of Denmark, steering SE by E in normal cruising order. The Battle Cruisers and 5th Battle Squadron, we had heard nothing of, as normal, but all other squadrons and flotillas of the Grand Fleet were there. ... The Fleet were barely in sight from us, but was not really more than four miles off, on our port quarter. At 4.30 pm I went up on the bridge to take over the watch from the Sub, after completing preparations for action. There was not much to do, just a few final stews such as clearing away guns and tubes, rails, etc, and rigging hoses, placing sand and water in each compartment and closing the deadlights.

  • The Birth of Airpower, 1916 the Character of the German Offensive
    The Birth of Airpower, 1916 359 the character of the German offensive became clear, and losses reached staggering levels, Joffre urgently demanded as early a start as possible to the allied offensive. In May he and Haig agreed to mount an assault on I July 'athwart the Somme.' Long before the starting date of the offensive had been fixed the British had been preparing for it by building up, behind their lines, the communications and logistical support the 'big push' demanded. Masses of materiel were accumulated close to the trenches, including nearly three million rounds of artillery ammuni­ tion. War on this scale was a major industrial undertaking.• Military aviation, of necessity, made a proportionate leap as well. The RFC had to expand to meet the demands of the new mass armies, and during the first six months of 1916 Trenchard, with Haig's strong support, strove to create an air weapon that could meet the challenge of the offensive. Beginning in January the RFC had been reorganized into brigades, one to each army, a process completed on 1 April when IV Brigade was formed to support the Fourth Army. Each brigade consisted of a headquarters, an aircraft park, a balloon wing, an army wing of two to four squadrons, and a corps wing of three to five squadrons (one squadron for each corps). At RFC Headquarters there was an additional wing to provide reconnais­ sance for GHQ, and, as time went on, to carry out additional fighting and bombing duties.3 Artillery observation was now the chief function of the RFC , with subsidiary efforts concentrated on close reconnaissance and photography.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • World War I in 1916
    MAJOR EVENTS AFFECTING THE COUNTY IN 1916 In a front line trench, France, World War I (Library of Congress, Washington) World War I in 1916 When war was declared on 4 August 1914, there were already over 25,000 Irishmen serving in the regular British Army with another 30,000 Irishmen in the reserve. As most of the great European powers were drawn into the War, it spread to European colonies all over the world. Donegal men found that they were fighting not only in Europe but also in Egypt and Mesopotamia as well as in Africa and on ships in the North Sea and in the Mediterranean. 1916 was the worst year of the war, with more soldiers killed this year than in any other year. By the end of 1916, stalemate on land had truly set in with both sides firmly entrenched. By now, the belief that the war would be ‘over by Christmas’ was long gone. Hope of a swift end to the war was replaced by knowledge of the true extent of the sacrifice that would have to be paid in terms of loss of life. Recruitment and Enlisting Recruitment meetings were held all over the County. In 1916, the Department of Recruiting in Ireland wrote to Bishop O’Donnell, in Donegal, requesting: “. that recruiting meetings might with advantage be held outside the Churches . after Mass on Sundays and Holidays.” 21 MAJOR EVENTS AFFECTING THE COUNTY IN 1916 Men from all communities and from all corners of County Donegal enlisted. They enlisted in the three new Army Divisions: the 10th (Irish), 16th (Irish) and the 36th (Ulster), which were established after the War began.

  • (August 1916 and April 1918) the Black Market
    Volume 5. Wilhelmine Germany and the First World War, 1890-1918 The Black Market (August 1916 and April 1918) The black market survived as the competitor to the administered food supply. The forces of supply and demand thrived here, and practically any foodstuff could be found — for a price. The prolongation of the war fed the black market to the point where it became far more than a supplement; in the estimation of authorities, Germans were purchasing one-third of all food on the black market by war’s end. I. There is no doubt that the offences mentioned here currently endanger the interests of the state to a high degree, and are also rightly perceived by the people as especially grave. A mild punishment is thus likely to provoke a feeling of uncertainty and bitterness, whereas a quick and emphatic punishment not only would deter further attempts at the dangerous practice of price- gouging; it is also likely to affect popular morale in a desirable way. II. The merchant Alfred Bürger – who is working without pay in Auxiliary Service at the Statistical Office as a special inspector for the Office of Price Review – is trying to exonerate himself by citing remarks that I made about the black market in a meeting of the Office of Price Review on February 22. My remarks were to the effect that strict measures against the commercial black market are absolutely necessary and would also be enacted in a federal law that will be passed shortly, but that small-scale black-market transactions, usually on the basis of connections among relatives or friends, are today being quietly tolerated within certain limits.

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.

Most Utahns are aware that the Utah National Guard spent time on the border to construct the fence.
