  • Is the Territorial Force a Sham?’ Were the Territorials a Militarily Capable Organisation Prior to the Great War, 1908-1914?: Are There Lessons to Be Learnt?
    ‘IS THE TERRITORIAL FORCE A SHAM?’ WERE THE TERRITORIALS A MILITARILY CAPABLE ORGANISATION PRIOR TO THE GREAT WAR, 1908-1914?: ARE THERE LESSONS TO BE LEARNT? Shaun Allan University of Hull The Territorial Force (TF - forerunner of the Territorial Army) before the Great War had a reputation for being a poorly trained, poorly led and inefficient organisation.1 Colonel Sir Mark Sykes, Commanding Officer (CO) of the 5th Battalion The Green Howards (TF) claimed that the ‘Territorial Army with its incomplete battalions, poor physique, lack of training, lack of material and lack of equipment, cannot be at present dignified with the name of an Army.’2 This criticism was made in 1908, shortly after the TF had formed replacing the expensive and poorly functioning Militia, Yeomanry (cavalry) and Volunteers. However, criticism of its poor training and poor equipment continued up until the outbreak of war and was disseminated through the journals and newspapers of the time especially by the National Service League (NSL – a pro-conscriptionist organisation) who saw the TF as a block to their progress.3 There was a real groundswell of anti-TF rhetoric during this period which criticized the organisations training methods as well as their purpose. Added to this was a strong bias towards citizen-soldiers from the public and professional soldiers alike, present ever since there have been professional and amateur soldiers working side by side, which presented itself, in the Territorials case, as either outright hostility or as satire subtle or otherwise.4 It could be said that the campaign by the NSL against the TF has clouded the way reservist soldiers are perceived right-up to the present day.

  • 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.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the course of research and writing up my thesis, I have received invaluable assistance and support from several individuals and organisations. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr John Bourne, for supporting me during my studies. After a break of nearly a decade between completing my first degree and researching and writing this thesis, the experience has been daunting at times, but his patience and understanding have enabled me to finally complete my work. I would also like to thank Dr. Anthony Ingold, who has given constant advice and encouragement during my period of study. He too helped guide me through the process of writing my thesis, proof-reading my early drafts and often giving me a much-needed push to complete my chapters. Jeff Elson, who has passed on to me his extensive knowledge on the South and North Staffordshire Regiments over the years, also provided valuable advice and assistance during my research.

  • Service Lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force
    SOCIAL SCIENCES COLLECTION GUIDES OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS www.bl.uk/subjects/national-and-international-government-publications Service lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force INTRODUCTION This guide is the result of merging two separate checklists. The checklist of Army Lists (British Army lists 1642- : a chronological handlist) is undated and without attribution of authorship. It is believed to have been compiled around 1980 as a collaborative effort by the staff at that time of what was then the Official Publications Library (OPL) of the British Library; the identity of the actual compiler is unknown. The checklist of Navy Lists (Navy lists : a chronological handlist of lists of ships and officers of the Royal Navy since ca 1640) is better documented. It was compiled in 1986 by Joy Tilley, a graduate library trainee, as a project for her work experience training under the supervision of Richard Cheffins who edited the result. No attempt has been made to further edit the original checklists except to update a few pressmarks, to clarify some minor points of uncertainty, to expand somewhat on the current Army and Navy lists and to add a section on Air Force lists. The item numbering of Army Lists has been discontinued but otherwise the inconsistencies of style and layout between, and even within, the two main lists have been left to stand but these should not hinder the use of this guide. The original Navy checklist had a brief introduction which has been incorporated into this one; the Army checklist had none. Both had brief 'further reading' lists which have been combined as the penultimate section of this guide.

  • The Above Photo, from the Illustrated War News of September 1915
    The above photo, from the Illustrated War News of September 1915, exposes how many cameras of that era were unsuited to action shots, but the caption suggests another reason, that the photographer realised the batsman had an eye on hitting the ball into his stomach! Whatever, it is a seasonal frontispiece and several items inside mention cricket. One article, about disturbing the eternal rest of one of the “Several Battalion Commanders” in my talk last May is definitely not cricket but telling the story will hopefully result in a reverent solution see Page 15.
