DISPATCH FROM “Giżyn” 3-7 One of the important activities was the camp`s annual remembering of Col. Heros von Borcke in Poland.

The Confederate ideal and its legacy of truth are not “HEROS VON BORCKE” 11-13 limited to the former CSA. People from different countries attend this event. For that reason I see the necessity to convey SABINE PASS ARTICLE 14-18 and to explain the essence of the Confederate soldier´s virtues defending this ideal. ARCHIVE 19 This is a critical duty and Europe is a vast „battlefield“. To make our „Intelligence Service Europe“ very interesting for everyone we have to do still a lot of work, and it is my pleasure to look forward to the upcoming times together with the Members of our Camp. My gratitude is for my men and their devotion at work shown in all our past activities, to be continued in the future. In the service of the South, Achim “Archy” Bänsch Commander EDITOR´S NOTE Dear friends and members of Europe Camp, after a busy summer, it is time to return to Camp and begin the Fall Campaign to continue the struggle for the good name of our ancestors.

On April THE PREACHER´S CORNER 12 4, 1865 President Davis issued his last proclamation to the Confederate Nation. He announced “A struggle the THE CAUSE FOR SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE memory of which is to endure for all ages” and proposed Sesquicentennial 2010–2015 13 the war to continue on a different basis and encouraged HELP TO MAKE THE the people to make “an exhibition of unquenchable JEFFERSON DAVIS resolve to render the final triumph certain. Let us but will STATUE A REALITY! 14 it, and we are free.” It is true that at the moment of this proclamation the Confederacy was in the last days of existence and the President was thinking about a nationwide uprising of Guerrilla warfare. Every Confederate soldier, every citizen of the South, shall became a Bushwhacker. At first view, this idea seemed to be a realistic option: it was less than half a century ago in time that Spain had successfully expelled the Napoleonic Army from national territory by involving the entire people in Partisan warfare, so had done the Russians during the winter campaign of 1812. But the situation of the South in 1865 was very different and with great wisdom, based on his lifetime military experience and the last 4 years of bloody war, General Lee rejected the entire project.

It was, in fact, from the very beginning that we wanted to educate foreign sympathizers and bring them close to a better understanding of the Cause of the South and deeper knowledge of historical facts.

  • Heros Von Borcke "Ein Reis Von Altem Stamm" (1835 1895) Verfasser: Wulf-Dietrich V.Borcke, Iserlohn 1999/ 2007
    1 Heros von Borcke "Ein Reis von altem Stamm" (1835 1895) Verfasser: Wulf-Dietrich v.Borcke, Iserlohn 1999/ 2007 Im "Confederate Museum" von Richmond (Virginia) wird deutschen Besuchern gern ein Reitersäbel gezeigt, dessen Größe selbst die Menschen des Landes der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten überrascht. Dieser Reitersäbel gehörte einst Heros von Borcke, der während des nordamerikanischen Bürger- oder Sezessionskrieges (1861-1865) auf Seiten der "Konföderierten Staaten von Amerika", der Südstaaten als Stabschef des genialen Reitergenerals James Ewell Brown Stuart gekämpft hat und durch eine Dankadresse des Kongresses der Südstaaten in einer Weise ausgezeichnet wurde, wie sie zuvor nur der französische General Marie Joseph Marquis de La Fayette als Dank für seine Unterstützung im Unabhängigkeitskrieg gegen England (1775-1783) erhalten hat. Wir sind wohl kaum besser über das Leben eines Familienangehörigen im 19.Jahrhundert unterrichtet als über das von Heros, der nach seinem amerikanischen Abenteuer und seiner Teilnahme am preußisch-österreichischen Krieg (1866) seine Lebenserinnerungen verfasst und veröffentlicht hat. Die unter dem Titel "Ein Reis von altem Stamm" 1895/96 herausgegebene Biographie findet heute noch ein so großes Interesse, dass sie 1993 nachgedruckt wurde. Die nachfolgenden Ausführungen stützen sich im wesentlichen darauf. Heros von Borcke wurde am 23.Juli 1835 in der Festung Ehrenbreitstein bei Koblenz geboren. Sein Vater Otto T h e o d o r Heros (1805-1878) stand hier als Sekonde- Leutnant bei dem preußischen 19. Linien- Infanterie-Regiment. Das gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Therese, einer Tochter des Geheimrats Adloff aus Luxemburg, geführte bescheidene Offiziersleben konnte er nach einer im Rahmen eines Lehnsprozesses erstrittenen Erbschaft aufgeben. Im Jahre 1836 war dem Vater, wie uns Heros in seinen Jugenderinnerungen mitteilt, "durch einen für ihn günstig verlaufenen Prozess der Besitz der Alt von Borckeschen Wangeriner Lehngüter in Pommern zugefallen." Nach seinem Abschied aus der Armee trat er sein hinterpommersches Erbe an.
