    MSA scS88H^6 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. IX. SEPTEMBER, 1914. No. 3. GENERAL JOHN STRICKEE. JOHN STEICKEE, JE.1 General John Strieker, descended from Swiss ancestors, was the son of Colonel George Strieker of the Revolutionary Army, and was born at Frederick Town in the State of Maryland, on the 15th day of February, 1759. At the commencement, or perhaps in anticipation, of the war of independence, his father, earnest in the cause of the country, raised a company comprising many of the . youth of his neighborhood which went soon into active service. From an orderly book now in the possession of one of his descendants,2 he appears to have commanded under Smallwood, and to have been for some time stationed at Annapolis in 1776. The fate of his company was disastrous; at the battle of Long Island so great was the havoc in its ranks, in the conflict and during the retreat, that scarcely one of its members escaped death or a wound. Meanwhile the Captain had been promoted to the Lieut. Colonelcy of the German Battalion; and continued in 1 Written by John Strieker, Jr. (son of Genl.

    OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE CANADIAN ARMY IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR CANADIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE 1914-1919 By COLONEL G.W.L. NICHOLSON, C.D. Army Historical Section Published by Authority of the Minister of National Defence ROGER DUHAMEL, F.R.S.C. QUEEN'S PRINTER AND CONTROLLER OF STATIONERY OTTAWA, 1964 1 CHAPTER I CANADA AT WAR The Outbreak of War On 28 JUNE 1914 an assassin's bullet struck down the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. The incident, occurring at a time when a dangerous tension strained the relations between the two armed camps into which the great powers of Europe had grouped themselves, precipitated the devastating conflict which we have come to call the first World War. The slaying took place at Sarajevo, capital city of Bosnia, a Balkan province which Austria after thirty years of occupancy had formally annexed in 1908. The plotters were allegedly agents of a Serbian secret society, and on 23 July Austria, seizing the opportunity to end the "Greater Serbia" movement which she saw as a threat to the prestige, if not the very existence, of the Dual Monarchy, presented a harsh ultimatum whose demands Serbia could not possibly accept and retain her national sovereignty. Austria hoped to crush Serbia in a purely local war, but in view of Russia's known encouragement of Serbian ambitions, she had taken the precaution of obtaining Germany's assurance of support in the event of a wider conflict. With only forty-eight hours allowed for her answer Serbia immediately appealed to Russia for help, at the same time seeking advice from France, Britain and Italy.

Sir: The latest and most material intelligence I have obtained respecting the Enemy, you will find in the inclosed papers, which I do myself the Honor of transmitting to you. How far the Enemy have it in view to extend themselves in a Line from Bay to Bay, I cannot determine; But the Idea has taken place with many, and it is said to be founded on their hints to some persons, who from accident in some instances and perhaps choice in others have had a more familiar intercourse with them. I cannot suppose they have any such design, or if they have, that it can be more than temporary, for procuring Supplies of Provisions. 25 Genl. Howe's declaration is agreeable to his constant usage, and is what we might reasonably expect. The only difference is, the present Exhibition is stiled a Declaration. It is another effort to, seduce the people to give up their rights and to encourage our soldiery to desert. The facts 26 contained in the Deposition of Francis Alexander, which you have also inclosed, seem to be opposed to that regularity and good discipline, which are promised by the Declaration.

    NATIONAL ARCHIVES MICROFILM PUBLICATIONS PAMPHLET DESCRIBING M881 Compiled Service Records of Soldiers Who Served in the American Army During the Revolutionary War NATIONAL ARCHIVES TRUST FUND BOARD WASHINGTON: 1976 The records reproduced in the microfilm publication are from Department Collection of Revolutionary War Records Record Group 93 COMPILED SERVICE RECORDS OF SOLDIERS WHO SERVED IN THE AMERICAN ARMY DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR On the rolls of this microfilm publication are reproduced the compiled service records of soldiers who served in the Ameri- can Army during the Revolutionary War. The compiled service rec- ords consist of one or more jacket-envelopes for each soldier containing card abstracts of entries relating to that soldier from original records. These compiled and original records are part of the War Department Collection of Revolutionary War Rec- ords, Record Group 93. The American forces during the Revolutionary War included many types of military organizations created by the Continental Congresses, the States, towns, and counties. The Regular units authorized by the Continental Congresses formed the Continental Army, but this Army was frequently supplemented by units of mili- tia and volunteers from the States. The compiled service records reproduced in this microfilm publication contain records for the Regular soldiers of the Continental Army and for the militia, volunteers, and others who served with them. The larger entity is referred to in this publication as the American Army. In 1775 the Continental Congress took command of the forces of the New England colonies besieging Boston and instituted the first of a series of major reorganizations of the Army. In reso- lutions of November 4, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the establishment of a Continental Army of 20,372 men.

Unit History of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment (1776–1781): Insights from the Service Record of Capt. Adamson Tannehill. 2007. Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, E259 .H52 2007. http://www.vahistorical.org/research/tann.pdf Unit History of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment (1776-1781): Insights from the Service Record of Capt. Adamson Tannehill Tucker F. Hentz (2007) Details of the origins, formal organization, and service record of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment have defied easy synthesis. Primarily because most of the unit was captured or killed at the battle of Fort Washington on 16 November 1776, the historical trail of the regiment’s “surviving” element has become complex. Modern and contemporaneous accounts of the 1776 New York City Campaign of the War of American Independence convey the impression that the battle marked the end of the regiment as a combat entity. In truth, however, a significant portion of it continued to serve actively in the Continental Army throughout most of the remainder of the war. Adamson Tannehill, a Marylander, was the regiment’s only officer with an uninterrupted service history that extended from the unit’s military roots in mid-1775 until its disbanding in early 1781. His service record thus provided a logical focal point for research that has helped resolve a clearer view of this notable regiment’s heretofore untold history. Antecedents On 14 June 1775 the Continental Congress directed the raising of ten independent companies of riflemen in the Middle Colonies1 as part of the creation of the Continental Army as a national force for opposition to the actions of the British government.

SHOT Editor: Karen Kashary (330) 523-0629 NWD Commander’s Corner NW Dept. Members; First let me say that I hope you all had fine holidays, and that you are looking forward to the 2019 campaign/event season, are preparing by getting your kit up to the highest standards and are reading to increase your knowledge and ability to interpret to the public. I’ve put the 2019 schedule at the end of this note, and I sincerely hope you will get your calendar and mark the event dates so you can attend events and support your units and the NW Department. Most of you have a substantial in- vestment in your clothing, equipment and camp gear, and it’s a shame to think that you might not take advantage of events being offered. We have some new sites, some old favorites, and some new twists on events that I hope you will enjoy. I had hoped that 2019 would be the last one for me as NW Dept. commander, but unless there is a nomination from the floor, I will be running as an uncontested candidate for another term.
