  • 8.1.3. Historical Background August 2014 Somme Tour
    1 Barry McLoughlin Limerick Somme Tour, 25-28 August 2014 Our trip’s focus is on the activities of the battalions of The Royal Munster Fusiliers and other Irish regiments in Northern France and Belgium between 1914 and 1918. The following remarks are given according to the chronology of our visit. Peronne World War I Museum, sited in a castle, is a good place to start, an excellent collection. One of its major strong points is the depiction of the Battle of The Somme, 1 July- 15 November 1916. The battle, like many British offensives, such as at Ypres one year later, should have been called off much earlier for advances were miniscule when compared to the loss of life: 432,000 British and 335,000 German casualties (killed, wounded, missing, taken prisoner). On the very first day, 1 July, the British Army suffered 57,500 casualties, including over 19,000 fatalities. This is the highest death rate in a single day in British military history. Most of the men were killed right at the beginning, between 8 and 9am, advancing towards undestroyed German machine-gun positions. One in two of all British soldiers who fought in the Somme onslaught never fought again. The irony was, as you shall see, that the Germans vacated the general area in February-March 1917, destroying everything and leaving a lunar landscape in their wake. They then ensconced themselves behind the new fortifications of the Hindenburg Line further to the east. The broken landscape of the Somme proved a major hindrance for the German army when it broke through the British lines on 21 March 1918 - destroying Irish units of the 16th (nationalist) and 36th (loyalist) divisions in the process.

  • The Battle of the Somme
    THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME FIRST PHASE BY JOHN BUCHAN THOMAS NELSON ft SONS, LTD., 35 & 36, PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON, E.C. EDINBURGH. NEW VORK. 4 PARIS. 1922 — THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME.* CHAPTER I. PRELIMINARIES. ROM Arras southward the Western battle- front leaves the coalpits and sour fields F of the Artois and enters the pleasant region of Picardy. The great crook of the upper Somme and the tributary vale of the Ancre intersect a rolling tableland, dotted with little towns and furrowed by a hundred shallop chalk streams. Nowhere does the land rise higher than 500 feet, but a trivial swell—such is the nature of the landscape jxfay carry the eye for thirty miles. There are few detached farms, for it is a country of peasant cultivators who cluster in villages. Not a hedge breaks the long roll of eomlands, and till the higher ground is reached the lines of tall poplars flanking the great Roman highroads are the chief landmarks. At the lift of country between Somme and Ancre copses patch tlje slopes, and the BATTLE OF THE SOMME. sometimes a church spire is seen above the trees winds iron) some woodland hamlet* The Somme faithfully in a broad valley between chalk bluffs, •dogged by a canal—a curious river which strains, “ like; the Oxus, through matted rushy isles,” and is sometimes a lake and sometimes an expanse of swamp, The Ancre is such a stream as may be found in Wiltshire, with good trout in, its pools. On a hot midsummer day the slopes are ablaze with yellow mustard, red poppies and blue cornflowers ; and to one coming from the lush flats of Flanders, or the “ black country ” of the Pas dc Calais, or the dreary levels of Champagne, or the strange melancholy Verdun hills, this land wears a habitable and cheerful air, as if remote from the oppression of war.

  • Pembroke College, Cambridge the Dead of the War of 1914-1918 1. The
    PEMBROKE COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE THE DEAD OF THE WAR OF 1914-1918 1. THE 1914-1918 WAR MEMORIAL At Pembroke College, Cambridge the memorial to those of the College identified as having died in the war of 1914-18 is next to the entrance to the college chapel, on the West side of the Hitcham cloister; and the memorial for the war of 1939-45 is opposite, on the East side of the same cloister. The former was designed by T.H. Lyon,[1] made by the Cambridge stonemasons and builders Messrs Rattee and Kett,[2] and dedicated by the then Bishop of Wakefield[3] on 3 December 1924, at a ceremony over which the then Master of Pembroke College[4]presided. The first memorial records three-hundred and eight names,[5] the second one hundred and fifty-two.[6] In each case only those dying on the Allied side are listed. Likewise, for the First war only those killed in action or dying of wounds or other illnesses contracted in military service up to the Armistice are shown.[7] Aside from the omission of those (relatively few) who may have died on the Austro-German and Ottoman side (of whom up to six may in due course be identifiable)[8] or of those whose death, although related to war service, occurred after the list had been drawn up for the stonemasons, the main source of uncertainty in the coverage of the 1914-18 listing concerns having or not belonged to Pembroke College. [9] From 1914 onwards this uncertainty also affects the year recorded as that of first belonging to the College.

  • First World War Journal
    Irish Voices from the First World War a blog based on PRONI sources August/September 1916 After the first terrible day on the Somme, the British army’s offensive continued throughout the summer months of 1916. Successive assaults were made on the German positions along the Front with troops from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India taking part. In September, the 16th (Irish) Division launched attacks on the villages of Guillemont and Ginchy. More than 4,000 men fell in these assaults. Elsewhere the major Russian offensive in the East ground to a halt and in the south the Italian army launched successful attacks on Austro-Hungarian positions on the Isonzo line at Gorizia. Letter 1: D3503/5/1 – Letter to Corporal George Hackney of Belfast, serving with the Royal Irish Rifles, from Reverend John Pollock, of St Enoch’s Presbyterian Church, concerning his son Paul’s death at the Somme on 1st July 1916. 3rd August 1916. My dear George, Since leaving home three weeks ago I have had no heart to write to anyone, so that you are not an exception. We feel that there is now nothing but the very faintest likelihood of our dear boy turning up, and the suspense has given place to a sense of bitter bereavement. At the same time we do not forget that we gave Paul for the noblest of causes, and he most enthusiastically gave himself. The present war is, on our part, ‘for the defence of the gospel’, the protection, advancement and consolidation of the kingdom of God.
