The provision of this article makes it possible for persons who were qualified to receive Palestinian Citizenship under Article 2 of the Principal Order and who failed to submit their applications in time during the period authorised, that is, during the years 1925 and 1926, to submit applications for Palestinian citizenship under this article now. Persons who submitted applications during the period 1925-26 and whose ap­ plications were rejected are not debarred from renewing their applications now. Qualified persons who were resident outside Palestine in 1924 and 1925 but who have since resumed permanent residence in Palestine may apply even if they have since received certificates of citizenship under Article 4 or Article 7 of the Principal Order.

Those stationed in garrison towns were based frequently in castles, forts or similar fortifications dating back several years. These includes London (the Tower of London), Hounslow, Woolwich, Dover, Windsor, Chatham, Dover, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Chester, York, Edinburgh and Dublin. Outside of these main garrison towns, most troops were quartered in billets in towns and villages, often living with civilians in their houses. This meant that troops were distributed widely across the U.K., with no sizeable formation in any one location.

    BATTLE-SCARRED AND DIRTY: US ARMY TACTICAL LEADERSHIP IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER, 1942-1943 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steven Thomas Barry Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Allan R. Millett, Adviser Dr. John F. Guilmartin Dr. John L. Brooke Copyright by Steven T. Barry 2011 Abstract Throughout the North African and Sicilian campaigns of World War II, the battalion leadership exercised by United States regular army officers provided the essential component that contributed to battlefield success and combat effectiveness despite deficiencies in equipment, organization, mobilization, and inadequate operational leadership. Essentially, without the regular army battalion leaders, US units could not have functioned tactically early in the war. For both Operations TORCH and HUSKY, the US Army did not possess the leadership or staffs at the corps level to consistently coordinate combined arms maneuver with air and sea power. The battalion leadership brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality. Many US officers shared the same ―Old Army‖ skill sets in their early career. Across the Army in the 1930s, these officers developed familiarity with the systems and doctrine that would prove crucial in the combined arms operations of the Second World War. The battalion tactical leadership overcame lackluster operational and strategic guidance and other significant handicaps to execute the first Mediterranean Theater of Operations campaigns. Three sets of factors shaped this pivotal group of men. First, all of these officers were shaped by pre-war experiences.

It then comprised the: · South Western Area (Cornwall, Devon and Somerset); · Southern Area (Hampshire & Dorset); · Salisbury Plain Area (Wiltshire) · South Midland Area (Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire). In the 1920’s the South Western Area and Southern Area were merged to form the Wessex Area, and Wiltshire was transferred from the Salisbury Plain Area only later to be transferred back. The Headquarters of Southern Command were historically based in Portsmouth, but in 1901, they moved to Salisbury Plain. The Headquarters were located in what is now Lucknow Barracks in Tidworth, which opened in 1905. When the Command was reorganised following the Great War, it appears the Headquarters were moved into the city of Salisbury.

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.
