  • BAOR July 1989
    BAOR ORDER OF BATTLE JULY 1989 “But Pardon, and Gentles all, The flat unraised spirits that have dared On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth So great an object….” Chorus, Henry V Act 1, Prologue This document began over five years ago from my frustration in the lack of information (or just plain wrong information) regarding the British Army of The Rhine in general and the late Cold War in particular. The more I researched through books, correspondence, and through direct questions to several “Old & Bold” on Regimental Association Forums, the more I became determined to fill in this gap. The results are what you see in the following pages. Before I begin a list of acknowledgements let me recognize my two co-authors, for this is as much their work as well as mine. “PM” was instrumental in sharing his research on the support Corps, did countless hours of legwork, and never failed to dig up information on some of my arcane questions. “John” made me “THINK” British Army! He has been an inspiration; a large part of this work would have not been possible without him. He added the maps and the color formation signs, as well as reformatting the whole document. I can only humbly say that these two gentlemen deserve any and all accolades as a result of this document. Though we have put much work into this document it is far from finished. Anyone who would like to contribute information of their time in BAOR or sources please contact me at [email protected]. The document will be updated with new information periodically.

    EDITORIAL ROF. NORMAN SYKES'S presence drew a good attendance to the Annual Meeting in 1946, and his paper on "The Church P of England and Non-episcopal Churches, from Hooker to Wake" was greatly appreciated. We hoped to be able to print it in this issue, but, unfortunately for us, it has to appear separately, in revised and expanded form, for other purposes. Our readers, we know, will be on the look-out for it. All the officers were re-elected. The balance-sheet disclosed a modest balance, and we began to have hopes of two issues of the Transactions a year as of old. But for the moment rising costs and continued shortages stand in the way . • • • * So far from its being unfitting for the senior editor to welcome his colleague into the ranks of authors, we are sure that readers would desire him to do so, for they have owed much to Dr. Nuttall's contributions to these pages during the years. The Holy Spirit in Puritan Faith and Experience, accepted for the Oxford D.D. degree, is an important book, and one which should have special interest for members of the Society. It is fully documented -its catena of quotations will long be of servic;)-but it is no mere dry-as-dust compilation. Indeed the chapter, "Critical Conclu­ sion," is perhaps the most useful in the book: Dr. Nuttall is not one of the historians who hesitate to draw conclusions; he has convictions, though he never goes beyond his authorities, and he states them fearlessly.

F. C. FULLER, D.S.O. (Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry) NEW YORK E. P. BUTTON AND COMPANY 1920 DEDICATIONS I dedicate this book to the modern military scientists, that small company oj gentlemen who, imbued with a great idea, were willing to set all personal interest aside in order to design a machine destined to revolutionise the science of war. II / dedicate this book to the modern armourers of the British factories, those men and women whose untiring patriotism and indomitable endurance in the workshops produced a weapon whereby the lives of many oJ their comrades were saved. Ill / dedicate this book to the modern knights in armour, the fighting crews oj the Tank Corps ; those Officers, Non-com- missioned Officers and Men, who, through their own high courage and noble determination on the battlefield, main- tained Liberty and accomplished Victory. INTRODUCTION The following work is the story of a great and unique adven- ture as heroic as the exploits of the Argonauts of old, and, though the time perhaps has not yet arrived wherein to judge the part played by tanks in the Great War, I feel that, whatever may be the insight and judgment of the eventual historian of the British Tank Corps, he will prob- ably lack that essential ingredient of all true history—the witnessing of the events concerning which he relates.
