Welcome to the American Enterprise Institute’s live web event on the strategic priorities for the United States and the United Kingdom. My name is Mackenzie Eaglen. I’m a resident fellow here on national security and military budget issues. It’s an honor and a privilege to be joined today by the United Kingdom’s Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace.

Ben Wallace MP was appointed secretary of state for defense in July of 2019. He started his career in the British army, commissioning from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and saw active service in Northern Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, and Central America. He was mentioned in dispatches while on operations in the 1990s. After leaving the army, Secretary Wallace joined the aerospace company QinetiQ, where he gained experience in the defense industry writ large.

As no Canadian Air Force yet existed, thousands of Canadians fought the First World War in British flying units. Canadians first served with the Royal Flying Corps (rfc) or with the Royal Naval Air Service (rnas). These two services amalgamated on 1 April 1918 into the Royal Air Force (raf). In total, an estimated 13,000–22,000 individuals from Canada joined the British flying services. In 1924, the Royal Canadian Air Force (rcaf) was created. With the outbreak of war in September 1939, the rcaf was able to draw on an existing cadre of officers and airmen and also attracted experienced personnel from private enterprise. By 1945, close to 250,000 men and women had served in the rcaf at home and abroad. This guide will illustrate the process of researching an individual’s service, from the essential starting point of service documents to supporting resources for detail and further discovery.

  • Henry Grace DCM Sergeant 6830, 1St Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry
    Henry Grace DCM Sergeant 6830, 1st Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. Henry Grace was born in 1885 and baptised on 21 July in Amersham. He was the eldest son of Thomas and Frances Fanny Grace, formerly Eggleton, living at Washington Row, Amersham. Thomas was a general farm labourer but had previously served in the 10th Hussars during the Afghan and Egyptian Campaigns 1878 – 1880. His five sons all served in H.M.Forces during the 1914-18 war. Henry enlisted as a private in the regular army of the 1st Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (OBLI) in 1901, in High Wycombe. His occupation was recorded as gardener’s labourer. At the time of the 1911 Census he was a Lance Corporal serving with the military in India. The 1st Battalion OBLI was part of the 17th Brigade, 6th Poona Division, and left India for Mesopotamia (now Iraq) in November 1914. There, the Battalion took part in the campaign against the Ottoman forces that ruled the country. Henry’s Medal Roll Index card showed that he entered the Asiatic theatre of war on 5 December 1914. In December Henry was mentioned in dispatches and nine months later, after promotion to a sergeant, he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for conspicuous gallantry at Kut-al-Amara (Mesopotamia). On the 28th September 1915, he sent messages to the artillery by heliograph under heavy fire, although he had to stand in full view of the enemy’s redoubts to do so. The British had taken Kut and advanced towards Baghdad but were stopped at Ctesiphon and forced to retreat.

  • Medals of the First World
    The 1914 and 1914/15 Stars The 1914 Star was awarded for service in France and Belgium between 4th August and 22nd No- vember 1914. Recipients of this medal were amongst the very first British soldiers to enter the war and were likely to have been enlisted prior to the outbreak of the war. Although there was a surge of reenlistment the new recruits required basic training before being sent to the front. The 1914/15 version was awarded to anyone who fought in France and Belgium between 23rd November and 31st December 1915, or anyone who fought oversees in 1914 and 1915. These troops were likely to have enlisted at the outbreak of war and went to the front after training. Victory Medal This medal was awarded to anyone who served in a theatre of war at any time during the First World War. The rainbow ribbon is designed to show how a rainbow of nations allied to fight the war. For this reason each allied country issued its own version of this medal. The common features were the image of Winged Victory and the rainbow ribbon. Nearly 6.5 million were awarded to soldiers from the UK and colonies. The recipients name, regiment and number will be inscribed on the rim. War Medal This medal was issued to anyone who served overseas in the armed forces during the war. Any- one eligible for the Victory Medal also received a War Medal, however people who served over- seas in areas which did not see any fighting, for example India, would only have received the War Medal.

  • A Victoria Cross It Is a Sad Irony That the First One Hundred Years of The
    A Victoria Cross It is a sad irony that the first one hundred years of the Department of Biochemistry coincided pretty well with the century in which human capacity for inflicting horror and misery on ourselves reached its zenith. A remarkable feature, however, of two world wars, numerous lesser ones, monstrous dictatorships and extreme religious bigotry is a recurring theme that the most ghastly circumstances also bring forth the best qualities that characterize mankind. Those of us fortunate enough to have avoided being tested to extremes can but admire and wonder at the deeds of men and women who managed to retain their humanity when civilization was collapsing about them, and who showed a willingness to give everything for what they believed to be right. These heroic figures, who would never think of themselves in such terms, have come forth from every nationality, race and creed and from all walks of life. In Britain the two world wars in particular saw virtually every community and organization make a human contribution and the Department of Biochemistry was no exception. Marjory Stephenson1 was mentioned in despatches and awarded an MBE for her work in Salonika between 1916 and 1918 with the British Red Cross Society. As a student at Newnham College, Cambridge before the war, she had been inspired by Frederick Gowland Hopkins and in 1919 she joined his department, over the next 20 years pioneering the study of bacterial metabolism. Captain Peters, later Sir Rudolf Peters2, was awarded the Military Cross and bar for his service on the Western Front as a medical officer with the King's Royal Rifle Corps and he was also mentioned in dispatches.
