  • 2011 the 200 Anniversary of the Battle of Arroyo- Dos-Molinos 1811
    2011 Issue 13 Autumn 2011 Registered Charity THE LION AND THE DRAGON No 271943 NEWSLETTER The Newsletter of the Friends of Cumbria’s Military Museum The Border Regiment, King’s Own Royal Border Regiment & Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment 2011 The 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Arroyo- dos-Molinos 1811 “Arroyo-dos-Molinos” is the unique Battle Honour awarded for an action in the Peninsula War to the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot, later to become the 1st Battalion The Border Regiment in 1881 and The King‟s Own Royal Border Regiment in 1959. On 28th October 1811, the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment as part of General Hill‟s forces attacked the French forces of General Girard at the village of Arroyo-dos- Molinos in Spain. As British forces drove them from the village the 28th and 34th Foot had been sent to cut off their retreat by the main road. During the pursuit the 34th fought their French opposite number the 34ème Régiment d‟Infanterie, took many of them prisoner together with their Colonel, Prince D‟Aremberg, and General De Brun and captured their property including six side-drums and the Drum-Major‟s Staff. The latter was personally wrested from the Drum-Major by Sergeant Moses Simpson of the 34th‟s Grenadier Company. The Regiment was afterwards allowed to commemorate this brilliant exploit by wearing in their shakos a red and white tuft or plume, which matched one worn by one of the French 34th‟s companies. In 1845 Her Majesty Queen Victoria at the request of the Duke of Wellington th granted the 34 the unique Battle Honour Arroyo dos Molinos.

  • The War Memorial of the Faculty of Advocates 1914
    THE WAR MEMORIAL OF THE FACULTY OF ADVOCATES 1914-1918 ALASTAIR K SHEPHERD WS 1 INTRODUCTION In 1914 the young – and not so young – men of Scotland joined the military in droves, and the Advocates were no exception. For many of them, part time military service had been a significant part of their leisure time; indeed the vast majority of the men in this publication had served in uniform before 1914. Some of them, like Robert Burns Begg KC, or Archibald Jones, had served in the Boer War. Others, like Jim Henderson-Hamilton, had joined a local territorial battalion, possibly for social or work reasons as much as military ones. The average age of the Advocates who were killed in the war was well over the national average, at 37. Some were positive veterans, like James Ferguson, Senior, at 60, although he did not actually die on active service. However the 56 year old James Clark was killed leading his men in a charge. At the other end of the spectrum were young men like 24 year old George Buchanan Smith. In the Nineteenth Century, many Advocates had been sons of landed gentry, and certainly many on the war memorial fit that description. However, the occupations of their fathers were, by 1914, more varied; salvage engineers, rubber manufacturers, and shipbuilders rub shoulders with coconut plantation owners and thread manufacturers. Many came from legal backgrounds; indeed eight of the twenty two had Advocates, Writers to the Signet, and Sheriffs as fathers. All were well educated, some in traditional Scottish High schools, others in Scottish or English private schools.

For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
