The 1st Battalion has established events across the South and to spread the word to itself as one of the most broadly accomplished sporting those who have not yet heard it. Secondly, at last year’s units anywhere in the Army while getting to grips with Evening with Heroes, Sergeant Jay Baldwin spoke very armoured conversion and hosting a highly successful movingly about his battle with the traumatic visit by the Colonel-in-Chief. The 2nd Battalion amputation of both his legs in Afghanistan but his completed a demanding tour in London District and determination to make a successful second career returned to Cyprus where the recent upsurge in violence beyond the Regiment – to embody that vital shift from across the Middle East has seen them take on an victim to victor in the face of extraordinary adversity. The operational focus that few could have imagined this only thing holding Jay back at present is the limitations time last year. Meanwhile the 3rd Battalion has earned imposed on him by prosthetic legs – they don’t work for a reputation as “Best in Class” of the new breed of Army him - so the Friends will be funding Jay to the tune of Reserve battalions, forging very tight links with 1 R £75,000 to receive ground-breaking surgery in Australia ANGLIAN and leading the charge on recruiting. which will fit him out with new legs which I very much hope will allow him to walk on to the stage at this year’s The other good news story that I want to highlight here Evening with Heroes which will be held at The Tower on is that of The Friends of the Princess of Wales’s Royal 29 October 2015. So – as well as welcoming you to this Regiment which came of age this year and which now year’s edition of The Tiger I would also ask you to make goes from strength to strength. Born out of a this the year when you join the Friends if you have not determination to see the Regiment better placed to already done so and give them your wholehearted weather the inevitable storms ahead by broadening our support. ability to raise funds for our soldiers, to increase our recruiting appeal and to provide a soft landing for those Tigers returning to the civilian world, it has achieved all those things - and more. Thanks to the outstanding support of Arcadia Consulting and the hard work and dedication of Brigadier Matt Maer, Nick Goble and Colour Sergeant Brian Wood, The Friends held an Evening with Heroes in Covent Garden in October which raised some £50,000. This was a tangible demonstration of the extraordinary influence that the Friends have begun to exert across our entire Regimental community: those serving with us, those no longer serving, those that aspire to serve, our wider Regimental family in the cadet movement, the Regimental Associations and those companies and individuals across our recruiting area who simply wish to be more closely identified with “their” Regiment. This year the Friends have two very specific challenges which I would ask for your help with. Firstly, we want every member of the Regiment and all those that I have described above to 3 Regimental Ethos 4 www.pwrr.org.uk The Tigers are a fighting regiment - we soldiers.

    Notes For complete author names, titles, and publication data for works cited here in short form, see the Works Cited list at the back of the book. Introduction 1. It is problematic to use the term “emperor” to describe the monarch throughout most of Japanese history. As Joan R. Piggott reminds us in The Emergence of Japanese Kingship, “The term empire is strongly associated with a martial political formation founded on conquest” (8). For most of Japanese history, Japanese monarchs did not preside over empires. The monarchs of Imperial Japan (1890–1945)did rule over an empire that came to include numerous overseas possessions, however. In the case of Hirohito (r. 1926–89), he ascended to the throne as the sovereign of an empire, and thus the term “emperor” is an appropriate title for him for the period from 1926 to 1945. Strictly speaking, the term “emperor” does not describe Japan’s monarch since 1945, for Japan no longer has an empire and the monarch does not even remain sovereign. In the end, however, I decided to use the term “emperor” (as well as terms such as “monarch”) for the postwar period in part because it seemed confusing to switch back and forth between “emperor” for the prewar period and, say, “king” for the postwar period, and also because it served to highlight one of the most important transwar continuities regarding the Japanese throne: Hirohito, who ascended to the throne with the mindset of a sovereign emperor, remained on the throne even as the Japanese empire collapsed and the politico-legal system defining his position underwent sweeping reform.

Some of the names are recorded in the Cardiff City Corporation Roll of Honour and other names I found online at Ancestry.co.uk. There are a total of 156 names, 131 within the Glamorgan Archives area, with another 20 names outside of this area. I have also found 5 officers whose details I managed to locate. Some names had very little information other than name, rank, regiment and town of birth. The majority of my research has been online in order to find the information that follows. Some of the names have revealed an interesting hidden history of information, whereas other names did not reveal very much at all. This research isn’t by any means complete, and I hope there are members of the public who can contact the Glamorgan Archives to continue the ongoing process of updating this data.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.
