  • 1 Private William Charles Norman, Number 669305 of the 3 Battalion
    Private William Charles Norman, Number 669305 of the 3rd Battalion (Toronto Regiment), Canadian Expeditionary Force, is buried in Bahus Churchyard, the sole Commonwealth soldier within the cemetery’s bounds: Grave reference – in north-eastern part. (Right: The image of the shoulder flash of the 3rd Battalion (Toronto Regiment) is from Wikipedia.) (continued) 1 His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a carpenter, William Charles Norman may have been the young man – a self-described labourer on his way to the industrial city of Sydney - included on the passenger list of the steamship Bruce which arrived from St. John’s, Dominion of Newfoundland, in North Sydney, Canadian province of Nova Scotia, on April 4 of 1912. However, this much is speculation which requires more information. All that seems may be said with certainty of William Charles Norman’s presence in Canada prior to January 25, 1916, is that he had been living in the area of Toronto since at least June of 1914, and that, by that January of 1915, he was a resident of 1466, Dufferin Street, in the city – this information forthcoming from his attestation papers. January 25 of 1916 was the day on which William Charles Norman presented himself for enlistment, for a medical examination – which found him fit for overseas service – and for attestation. He had prior to this date been a soldier of the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada, a Canadian Militia regiment, for some twenty months, this unit then recruiting him for service with the 166th (Overseas) Battalion (Queen’s Own Rifles) of the Canadian Expeditionary Force*.

  • Point of Failure: British Army Brigadiers in the British Expeditionary Force and North Western Expeditionary Force, 1940 a Study of Advancement and Promotion
    POINT OF FAILURE: BRITISH ARMY BRIGADIERS IN THE BRITISH EXPEDITIONARY FORCE AND NORTH WESTERN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, 1940 A STUDY OF ADVANCEMENT AND PROMOTION - PHILIP MC CARTY MA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Wolverhampton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 This work or any part thereof has not been previously presented in any form to the University or to any other body whether for the purposes of assessment, publication or for any other purpose (unless otherwise indicated). Save for any express acknowledgements, references and/or biographies cited in the work, I confirm that the intellectual content of the work is the result of my own efforts and of no other person. The right of Philip Mc Carty to be identified as author of this work is asserted in accordance with ss.77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. At this date copyright is owned by the author. 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.
