  • 30Th PUNJABIS at TANDAMUTI HILL and NAKADI RIDGE East Africa, February – October 1917 Harry Fecitt, March 2015
    1 THE 30th PUNJABIS AT TANDAMUTI HILL AND NAKADI RIDGE East Africa, February – October 1917 Harry Fecitt, March 2015 Introduction The 30th Punjabis started the war as a Class Company Regiment containing 4 companies of Sikhs, 2 companies of Dogras and 2 companies of Punjabi Mussulmans; this composition was later reorganised by halving the number of companies to four, each having 4 platoons. A 14-month stay in the Daryaganj Lines, Delhi, resulted in much sickness from malignant malaria, and twice in late 1914 the regiment reported itself unfit for service in France. The regiment was involved in 1915 in operations against the Mohmands on the North-West Frontier, and there Subadar Muhammad Khan, 29th Punjabis attached to 30th Punjabis, and No. 4391 Havildar Sher Khan were awarded the Indian Distinguished Service Medal. After a further 11 months spent in India the 30th Punjabis was deployed to East Africa in November 1916. The situation in early 1917 After the fierce fighting for the crossing of the Rufiji River, described in the article Fighting For The Rufiji River Crossing: The British 1st East African Brigade in action German East Africa, 1 to 19 January 1917, (where Subadar Allah Ditta won a posthumous Indian Order of Merit, 2nd Class) the 30th Punjabis moved north and in June 1917 the regiment was at Tabora on the German Central Railway that ran from Dar Es Salaam westwards to Lake Tanganyika. Here a newly-arrived draft of 90 Rank & File brought the regimental strength up to 4 British and 6 Indian officers and 259 sepoys.

  • 1 0 MOUNTING DISASTER S HE Japanese Forces As a Whole Were
    CHAPTER 1 0 MOUNTING DISASTER S HE Japanese forces as a whole were now riding a wave of victories . T In the colony of Hong Kong, which had become a perilously-situate d extremity of British power, the enemy troops continued on 9th December their advance on the Gin Drinkers ' Line. This line, ten and a half miles long, occupied a commanding position on the mainland, but had little depth. Major-General Maltby,' commander of the British troops in China and of the Hong Kong Fortress, estimated that the line might be held fo r seven days or more, but only if there was no strong and capable offensive against it. It was hoped that sufficient delay would be imposed to enable final measures, possible only when war was certain, to be taken for defence of the main stronghold, the island of Hong Kong itself. The island, with an area of thirty-two square miles, is traversed b y an east-west range of steep, conical hills, rising to 1,800 feet at Victori a Peak. The densely-populated city of Victoria occupied principally a flat, narrow strip of land along the north-western shore . Some shelters agains t bombing and shelling had been provided, but for the majority of it s 1,750,000 inhabitants, mostly Chinese, no such protection was available . Its water supply came partly from the mainland, and partly from reservoirs on the island itself . In both respects it was vulnerable to enemy action . Since it was first occupied by the British in 1841, the island had graduated , like Singapore, from earlier use by pirates and fishermen, through increas- ingly lucrative stages, to affluence as a great port and commercial centr e on the main Far Eastern trade route .

  • 10.45Am Service at St. Tudy War Memorial Followed by CRYING OUT
    10.45am Service at St. Tudy War Memorial followed by CRYING OUT FOR PEACE RINGING of ONE Bell 75 times, one for each year since VJ Day - 15th August 1945 Robin Thwaites, the new Curate, welcomed Villagers to the Service of Commemoration and reminded all present of the restrictions regarding Covid-19, asking all to remember to socially distance. Colonel Rupert Nicholas OBE then spoke for a few minutes about the experiences of the men who endured so much in the Far East campaign and gave a short account of his father’s service and experiences. This was then followed by the laying of the wreaths on behalf of the Historical Society, the Parish Council, and the Village Hall. Ten Villagers were known to have had a relation who took part in the fighting and the ten each laid a Cross of Remembrance for their father, uncle, aunt, or grandfather. The Exhortation was then read out, all joined in the refrain before the Last Post was sounded prior to the two-minute silence and Reveille. Prayers were then led by the Curate before ‘The Cry for Peace’ after which one single bell was run 75 times to mark the years since the end of WW2. The service concluded with the saying of the National Anthem as singing, at the time of the service, was not permitted. 15th August 1945 marked the end of WW2 after six years of conflict involving many countries from around the world. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in Europe, thousands of troops in East Asia fought on until Japan’s surrender, with many not returning home until 1946.

These were Nigeria (which was the largest in terms of both area and population), The Gold Coast (renamed as Ghana on independence in 1957), Sierra Leone and The Gambia. Each of the four colonies had their own regiment, which were consolidated into the West Africa Frontier Force in 1900. In 1928, it was granted the title Royal West Africa Frontier Force. At the outbreak of war, there were five Regular battalions and one Light Artillery battery of The Nigeria Regiment, two Regular and one Territorial Force battalions of The Gold Coast Regiment, one battalion of the Sierra Leone Regiment and one Company based in The Gambia. Over the next couple of years, all four regiments expanded with wartime recruitment. In 1939 and 1940, the battalions of the Royal West Africa Frontier Force and the King’s African Rifles were formed into two formations, the 1 st and 2 nd African Divisions (later redesignated as the 11 th and 12 th African Divisions). Both divisions contained units from both West and East Africa. These fought in the 1941 campaign to secure Abyssinia, Ethiopia and Somaliland from the Italian Forces. Following the successful Allied campaign, the 11 th and 12 th African Divisions were eventually withdrawn from Abyssinia and broken up in 1941 and 1943 respectively.
