  • Memories of the Royal Flying Corps Years and Early Days of the Royal Air Force
    Memories of the Royal Flying Corps years and early days of the Royal Air Force As a young boy I remember well the many stories our Dad related to us about his adventurous times he had whilst serving in the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force. On 1st April 1918, the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service combined to form the Royal Air Force. As its Centenary is celebrated at this time, I feel moved to write about those years our Dad served his King and Country so that readers of today will, hopefully, get some idea of the most interesting and challenging times experienced when man took to the skies! In haste, my elder brother, Stuart, and I wish to extend our grateful thanks to Jasper Bouverie, film producer, for photographing our Dad’s diaries, the surviving letters he wrote to his parents, all the photographs in two albums, his detailed drawings of aircraft and aeronautical explanations, etc, and other items. All these were sent to me so that I could transcribe them to produce this long account. The following extracts from Dad’s little pocket diaries, measuring 3” x 2”, have been specially selected. My brother, Stuart, has kindly supplied further information which is contained within square brackets at the end of certain passages. I have also made a few comments within many of the square brackets. Some items of information have been obtained from the Internet. Dad’s writing was very small and he never bothered to dot the i and cross the t in many words! However, with the zoom button on the computer the enlargements on the screen have made it easier for me to decipher the words of which I had difficulty in reading straight from the tiny diaries.

Bradford H.W. Brands Richard M. Crooks Arnold Krammer Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT The Organizational Evolution of OSS Detachment 101 in Burma, 1942-1945. (May 2008) Troy James Sacquety, B.A., Mary Washington College; M.A., University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Brian McAllister Linn The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was created during the Second World War to be a central collector, producer, and disseminator of foreign intelligence. Its secondary role of clandestine warfare did not come easily. One OSS unit, Detachment 101, surmounted numerous problems to become a model clandestine and special operations unit able to create its own indigenous army that waged war behind Japanese lines in Burma. This study uses previously unexplored primary source materials from the OSS records held by the U.S. National Archives to examine the unit and its organizational changes from 1942 to 1945. Detachment 101 succeeded in the China-Burma-India Theater (CBI) for the simple reason that it was able to function independent of immediate control from either the U.S.

  • Western Australia and the World in 1918
    WA: A Centenary of Change 1918 – 2018 Western Australia and the World in 1918 1918 was a year of war, peace, reunion, and, so much sadness. Love for the British Empire, had cost the Australian nation much. Out of a population of nearly five million, over 331,780 men and women served in the war, 60,284 were killed and over 152,000 were wounded during the four years of conflict. In 1918 alone approximately 14,000 Australians died due to the war. Over the four years of the Great War 66 Australians were awarded the Victorian Cross for extreme bravery in battle. Throughout the war young men, once fit and eager for adventure, were killed or returned to Australia maimed and wounded. The impact of wounded men and those thousands of soldiers killed in Gallipoli, the Middle East and on the Western Front were like ripples in the pond of their community, touching so many lives – their family, girlfriends, school and work friends. The year 1918 will be covered here to introduce the resource “WA; A Centenary of Change 1918 – 2018”. A global, national and Western Australian perspective is taken to provide a context for the changes caused by the Great War and the Armistice in 1918. Australians were fighting in the Middle East and on the Western Front during 1918. The conquest of Gaza and Jerusalem in 1917 enabled that the Allied troops to occupy Lebanon and Syria during 1918. The Allies, including Australian captured Jericho in February 1918 and advanced into Jordan during March, but were counter attacked in May.
