Identifying military engagements in Egypt and the Levant, 1915- 1918 Roslyn Shepherd King Pike* Independent Scholar Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article examines the official names listed in the 'Egypt and Palestine' section of the 1922 report by the British Army’s Battles Nomenclature Committee and compares them with descriptions of military engagements in the Official History to establish if they clearly identify the events. The Committee’s application of their own definitions and guidelines during the process of naming these conflicts is evaluated together with examples of more recent usages in selected secondary sources. The articles concludes that the Committee’s failure to accurately identify the events of this campaign have had a negative impacted on subsequent historiography. Introduction While the perennial rose would still smell the same if called a lily, any discussion of military engagements relies on accurate and generally agreed on enduring names, so historians, veterans, and the wider community, can talk with some degree of confidence about particular events, and they can be meaningfully written into history.

  • A History of 119 Infantry Brigade in the Great War with Special Reference To
    The History of 119 Infantry Brigade in the Great War with Special Reference to the Command of Brigadier-General Frank Percy Crozier by Michael Anthony Taylor A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract 119 Brigade, 40th Division, had an unusual origin as a ‘left-over’ brigade of the Welsh Army Corps and was the only completely bantam formation outside 35th Division. This study investigates the formation’s national identity and demonstrates that it was indeed strongly ‘Welsh’ in more than name until 1918. New data on the social background of men and officers is added to that generated by earlier studies. The examination of the brigade’s actions on the Western Front challenges the widely held belief that there was an inherent problem with this and other bantam formations. The original make-up of the brigade is compared with its later forms when new and less efficient units were introduced.

OK Bob, I’ll just ask you to explain to us in ten minutes, what’s happened in your life. Well I suppose if you want to know what’s happened in my life, I would like to go back to really the very, early the beginning which involves my parents. And to understand my life perhaps, an understanding of my 01:00 parents would be useful. I’ll start with my mother, who was a magnificent woman. And she was born in London in 1878. And she was born, as she used to tell me, in the sound of Bow Bells, which made her a Cockney, really, from the Soho area. 01:30 She told me stories of, in her childhood, listening to the bell toll 80 times for each year of Queen Victoria’s life, and so it went on. Her family did tailoring for London tailors, Saville Row tailors. My maternal grandmother, whom 02:00 I don’t think I ever met, I may have done when I was very young, she made hand-pearled gentlemen’s jackets and waistcoats, that is invisible stitching, and that’s how they made their living. My mother found employment in a London hotel as a housemaid, and she was evidently very good at that. And she 02:30 progressed and became Housekeeper of a major hotel, which was a very important position in the hotel running.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. Local news sources in Waco say the RAAF C-27J Spartan was involved in a serious incident that damaged the aircraft and the airport’s main runway, closing the airport to all other traffic for about 18 hours. It is reported that two tyres blew out as the pilot made a landing after a training mission before 1am Tuesday local time. A TV News in Waco published this photo of the C-27J disabled on the runway A Vol 55 Page 9 The airport was closed and at least 180 American Eagle commuter passengers had their flights cancelled. One local news source quoted an assistant Waco fire chief as saying the airplane had attempted a landing but may have touched down short of the runway and damaged two tyres. Firefighters were dispatched to the incident when it happened but there was no fire and no one was injured. In a statement, the RAAF thanked local airport, emergency services and security staff who assisted with the recovery and apologised for the inconvenience to other airfield users. The flight was a pilot-qualification flight for RAAF pilots converting to the new aircraft, flown alongside industry instructors, a RAAF spokesman said.
