Service Honest and Faithful: The Thirty-Third Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Philippine War, 1899-1901. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2017, 269 pp., bibliography, 72 primary resources, 97 secondary resources. This manuscript is a study of the Thirty-Third Infantry, United States Volunteers, a regiment that was recruited in Texas, the South, and the Midwest and was trained by officers experienced from the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War. This regiment served as a front-line infantry unit and then as a constabulary force during the Philippine War from 1899 until 1901. While famous in the United States as a highly effective infantry regiment during the Philippine War, the unit's fame and the lessons that it offered American war planners faded in time and were overlooked in favor of conventional fighting. In addition, the experiences of the men of the regiment belie the argument that the Philippine War was a brutal and racist imperial conflict akin to later interventions such as the Vietnam War.

  • X./14 - the 10Th March Battalion of Infantry Regiment 14 in the Dolomites in the Summer of 1915
    X./14 - The 10th March Battalion of Infantry Regiment 14 in the Dolomites in the Summer of 1915 During the course of the First World War each infantry regiment of the pre-war army and Landwehr formed so-called “March Battalions” or Marschbataillone to provide trained replacements for the parent regiment already deployed in the field. In normal circumstances the March Battalion would arrive at the front and the personnel were then distributed amongst the companies of the field regiment as required. In times of emergency or dire need a March Battalion could be deployed as a constituent whole in an independent capacity and such was the case with the X. Marschbataillon of the Linz recruited Infanterieregiment Ernst Ludwig Großherzog von Hessen und bei Rhein Nr.14. Formed in April 1914 under the command of Hauptmann Friedrich Ritter Hantken von Prudnik to supply reinforcements for the regiment fighting in Galicia it was to be ready for deployment by the 4th of May with a scheduled departure to the front around the middle of the month. The worsening diplomatic situation with Italy however caused a change of plan; the battalion was to be deployed to the South Tyrol and the commander of the Ersatzbataillon (effectively the regimental training depot), Oberstleutnant Karl Willigut assumed command.1 The battalion was alerted during the night of the 5/6th of May 1915 and with a strength of 24 officers and 1002 NCOs and soldiers entrained for Lienz where the battalion arrived on the 7th of May. Initially placed under the Half-Brigade of Generalmajor Lanzinger, the first priority was the instruction of the battalion’s personnel in mountain warfare but this was necessarily interrupted by the need to build defensive and blocking positions along the Tyrolean/Italian border area.

  • Memoirs and Literary Experience on the Phenomenon of Zeleni Kader and Military Desertion in Croatia ∗
    Review of Croatian History 14/2018, no. 1, 245 - 266 UDK: 355.291.5(497.5)’’1918’’ 821.163.42 Received: June 1, 2018 Accepted: October 15, 2018 Izvorni znanstveni članak ECHOES OF THE GREAT WAR: MEMOIRS AND LITERARY EXPERIENCE ON THE PHENOMENON OF ZELENI KADER AND MILITARY DESERTION IN CROATIA ∗ Zrinko NOVOSEL ∗ ∗ Military collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy at the end of World War I, which accelerated during the last months of the 1918, resulted in widespread military desertion and a situation in which the deserters, re- turnees from military captivity and a large part of peasantry, which was weary of war-related hardships, formed a phenomenon marked by contem- poraries as the Zeleni kader. In general chaos which ensued, the experience of war and anarchy was brought from the frontlines to the hinterland of Kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia. Th is paper puts to the foreground the memories of war veterans connected to these events at the end of 1918 in form of memoires, and literary expressions of the participants of the Great War, which supplement the image of general discontent, horrors of war and the collapse of the existing system. Contrary to oft en faceless docu- mentation of the offi cial authorities, memoires and literary works, treated methodologically as historical sources and with employment of interdis- ciplinary approach, which considers the cognitions of literary theory, can elucidate the events linked to the Zeleni kader and its forms. Furthermore, this body of works presents us with an insight to soldiers’ attitudes, their experiences of the war and motives for desertion, but also the subtle traces of mentality of all participants in these events at the end of the First World War.

  • Flag Raising and Pass in Review
    INFANTRY DRILL REGULATIONS (1941) Note: Underlined passages are most relevant for the D-Day Conneaut Saturday Ceremony. The full text of the excerpts has been included for your enjoyment. CHAPTER 9 CEREMONIES REVIEWS [Used for Saturday 2 PM Pass in Review] 226. Elements of a Review. A review consists of four parts: a. Formation of troops. b. Presentation and honors. c. Inspection (passing around the troops). d. March in review. 227 Commander of Troops. The senior officer present in the ceremony is designated as commanding officer of troops. He is responsible for the formation, presentation, and march in review. A commander reviewing his own troops designates some other officer as commanding officer of troops. When the review is given for a visiting higher commander or civilian dignitary, the local commander designates a commanding officer of troops so that he may accompany and receive the review with the visitor. 228. Preparations. The line on which the troops are to form and along which they are to march is marked out or otherwise designated. The post of the reviewing officer is marked with a flag which will be placed opposite the center of the line of troops. (See Plate 67.) 229. Formations a. Any of the formations prescribed for the battalion or regiment may be used. Such formation may be modified to meet the local situation. The formation used depends on the space available and the formation in which the units are to pass in review. When practicable, the formation selected should have all squad columns either perpendicular or parallel to the line on which the troops form.
