  • Ocs & the Boer War
    OLD CONWAYS & THE BOER WAR v19 The Conway Chapel at Birkenhead Priory contains the Memorial Boards and Honour Boards for WWI and WWII. It has been known for some time that OCs participated in the Boer War and that at least one lost his life. Members of the Old South African branch of the Conway Club agreed that the South African Conway Centenary Shield presented by them in 1959 should be re-purposed as the Boer War Memorial Shield. This summary of OCs who lost their lives in, or who participated in that war acts as a form of Boer War Honours Board as it was not possible authoritatively to list all those honoured in that war with either gallantry or service medals. The photo below right shows Guy Brooke-Smith (44-46) presenting the shield to Captain Hewitt on Sports Day 1959. The photo below right shows him presenting it as the Boer War Memorial to the Chapel in June 2017. 1 CONTENTS 1 OCS WHO DIED ON SERVICE .................................................................................................... 3 2 OCS WHO SERVED IN THE ARMED SERVICES ....................................................................... 4 3 OCS WHO SERVED IN THE MN ................................................................................................ 15 4 “COMFORTS” FOR THE TROOPS ............................................................................................. 17 5 SOURCES ................................................................................................................................... 18 2 1 OCS WHO DIED ON SERVICE Edmund Evan K.

  • British Military Recruitment in Ireland During the Crimean War, 1854-56
    British Journal for Military History, Volume 2, Issue 1, November 2015 British Military Recruitment in Ireland during the Crimean War, 1854-56 PAUL HUDDIE University of West London Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ireland has a diverse military historiography, principally within the confines of the British Army. Much has been written to date in relation to Ireland’s relationship with that service, particularly in recent years and with a focus upon the Great War. Yet significant gaps still remain in relation to the nineteenth century. By analysing the relationship between Irish society and the British Armed Forces, through the lens of recruitment, this article illustrates how and why the Crimean War years represent the positive pinnacle of Ireland’s relationship with the empire and the British Army and Royal Navy. As Tom Bartlett and Keith Jeffery highlighted in A Military History of Ireland, the island of Ireland has a diverse military historiography, yet even today substantial gaps exist which serve to limit the wider understanding of Irish society’s and Irish individuals’ interactions with the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom and British Empire.1 Even though substantial focus has to date been given to the Irish interactions with the British Army, especially in the early twentieth century and principally during the Great War, comparatively little has been done in relation to the nineteenth century.2 No effort has been made to investigate the Napoleonic Wars in the same way that Bartlett and Jeffery have done for the Irish soldier in general and there is only minimal concern to place the Crimean War within its wider ‘social and political contexts’.3 Even the Boer War remains neglected with Donal McCracken’s important works being focused on nationalism.4 In Britain, and in relation to the Crimean War, Myna Trustrum, Helen Rappaport, Olive Anderson, H.J.
