M Canada ABSTRACT AMATEUR SOLDIERING IN INDUSTRIAL BRITAIN: THE EARLY TERRITORIAL FORCE IN GLASGOW, 1908-1914 Kristopher K. Gies Advisor: University of Guelph, 2010 Professor Graeme Morton This thesis is an investigation of the Territorial Force from its inception in 1908 to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Through using the industrial centre of Glasgow, Scotland as an example, this study details the multifaceted social and institutional links that welded local society to the amateur soldiering movement. Particular attention is directed towards to the experience of part-time soldiers in the Anglo-Boer War and subsequent reform efforts, Territorial terms of service, the role of local government and civic groups, labour/employer relations, public health considerations, and the place of uniformed youth movements. This builds upon and complements the substantial body of knowledge produced by scholars such as Cunningham, Spiers, and Beckett, who have adopted a wider British-based perspective in their works. In particular, through a local approach it is argued that despite the expectations of wholesale reform following the Anglo-Boer War, strong continuities existed between the early Territorial Force and its predecessor, the Victorian-era Volunteer Force. Through an examination of how the early Territorial Force operated on a local level, this notion can largely be attributed to the practical limitations of part-time soldiering on a voluntary basis, but also in that many aspects of the Territorial scheme were co-opted from preexisting Volunteer relationships and institutions. In explaining this continuity, this study explores the ideological foundations for army reform in the early-twentieth century. The architect of the Territorial Force, Richard Burdon Haldane envisioned a 'nation-in-arms'—the preserved British tradition of voluntary military service sustained through an intersecting of military and civilian interests. Although previous historians have argued that Haldane was unsuccessful in promoting this concept, study argues otherwise— that although never achieving his ideal, a nation-in-arms was already in existence prior to the concept's articulation, and was only enhanced by the continued ties with the amateur soldiering movement. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank a host of individuals and organizations, without their respective contributions this study would not have been possible.

The Glasgow Territorial Force Association, 19131 This thesis is an examination of the early Territorial Force in Scotland from its inception in 1908 up to the outbreak of war in 1914. Using the population and industrial centre of Glasgow as its example, this study provides a detailed analysis of the social, economic and ideological influences that affected the articulation of military reforms, their implementation, and the day-to-day operations of the Territorial scheme in the city. It argues that the early years of the Territorial Force can be best described in terms of commonalities with the Volunteers it replaced. This was the product of not only practical constraints, but also a limited militarism that was expressed in various ways throughout local society. The decade preceding the First World War was a time that promised great transformation within the British Army. In these years, politicians and military leaders wrangled with the matter of establishing a defence structure that would not only protect Britain's imperial possessions, but also ensure the integrity of her shores. Security concerns in these years were sparked by both heightened international tensions—in particular rising German power—and uncertainties stemming from the army's 1 The Territorial Force Association of the County of the City of Glasgow [hereafter Glasgow County Association], Voluntary Service: The Case for the Territorial Force (Glasgow: The Territorial Force Association of the County of the City of Glasgow, 1913), 12. 1 Introduction performance in the Anglo-Boer War.

    THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE: WOMEN MUNITIONS WORKERS IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR By MYRA BAILLIE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Myra Baillie, September 2002 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2002) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Women ofRed Clydeside: Women Munitions Workers in the West ofScotland during the First World War. AUTHOR: Myra Baillie, B.A., M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor R.A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: x,320 11 ABSTRACT During World War One, the Clydeside region became one ofthe most important centres ofwar production in Britain. It also had one ofthe most volatile male workforces, earning it the reputation 'Red' Clydeside. Previous historical accounts have focussed on the skilled workers, debating the extent to which they were red-hot revolutionaries or narrow craft conservatives. To date, there has been no study ofthe region's large, capable, hard-working female workforce. This thesis traces the experience ofthe tens ofthousands ofwomen employed in the Clydeside munitions industry, paying particular attention to the working conditions in local factories. This thesis contributes to the long-standing historiographical arguments over the nature ofRed Clydeside by offering a new view ofthe dilution crisis which stands 11t the epicentre ofthe debate. It finds more cooperation between male and female munitions workers than has previously been recognized, and suggests that class confrontation, not craft conservatism, was at the root ofthe deportation ofthe shop steward leaders in March 1916.
