In 1628 the Thirty-years' War had already dragged one-third of its weary length, although Scotland had not much concern in it except that hundreds of her young men fought in its battles as " Soldiers of Fortune." Before many years had passed, however, indeed before the building of George Heriot's " Wark " was completed, our native land was destined to make very close acquaintance with war and its terrible realities. In 1650 Cromwell, having defeated the Scots under Leslie at Dunbar, marched on to Edinburgh and occupied the city. Finding the " Wark " a suitable building for the purpose he made it a hospital for his sick and wounded soldiers, and it continued to be used in this capacity till 1658 by the army which was left in Scotland under General Monk. It was not therefore till 1659 that the Hospital was available for the purpose intended by the Founder, " the maintenance, relief, and education of poor fatherless boys, freemen's sons of the Burgh of Edinburgh." During the latter years of the seventeenth century, during the whole of the century that followed, and even on into the nineteenth, there were wars on the continent of Europe, in which British soldiers were engaged, but the armies sent overseas were comparatively small, and there never was any menace to the soil of Britain, for was she not " A precious stone set in the silver sea Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands," — 8 GEORGE HERIOT'S SCHOOL Even during the Napoleonic Wars there was never any real danger of invasion, though for a year or two the possibility of such a catastrophe hung as a dark shadow over the land. Nor was it felt necessary for Britain to send a large army to the Continent. Wellington's force in the Peninsula numbered only 30,000 men, and even at Waterloo he had less than 25,000 British soldiers under his command. At the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, however, a new set of conditions obtained in Europe which completely altered the position of Britain. Germany, strengthened and consolidated by three suc- cessful wars — in each of which she was the aggressor was building up a huge army, and at the same time was challenging Britain's supremacy on the sea. The wisest and most far-seeing soldier-statesmen warned the country again and again that, if war came, a great army would be needed, and they advised universal military training, but the nation at large, relying on the " silver streak " and on the fleet riding upon it, left that counsel practically unheeded. When the crash came in August 1914, and Britain felt herself bound in honour to go to the help of Belgium and France, it was seen that a great army would have to be raised, and the call for men was made. Right promptly did the youth of the land answer the call of King and Country. They saw before them the path of honour and of " duty, and followed it ; and the Old Boys " of George Heriot's School in no way lagged behind. From Canada and South America, from South Africa and far-off Australia and New Zealand, they came to join their brothers of the Home Country in defence of their native land. Was this to be wondered at when they had behind them the tradition of the Old Hospital, the tradition which had its spring in the noble Founder himself, whose motto is: "I distribute cheerfullie "? Had they not also the later tradition of the School, but twenty -nine years old it is true, but already splendid in achievement both in education and in the playing fields ? ROLL OF HONOUR 9 The local Territorial Battalions of the Royal Scots, the 4th and 5th (O.E.R.), the 6th, 7th, and 8th, and the 9th (Highlanders) claimed the first attention of the Boys. Many of them, indeed, had been for years members of these battalions, and to a man had volunteered for service abroad. No one who was present will ever forget that fateful meeting in the Old Physics Lecture Room, when the Football Club almost in a body, with the brothers Lamb leading off, joined the 5 th Battalion, which along with the 4th and 6th was to suffer so much in the unfortunate Gallipoli Campaign. The 1st Edinburgh Battalion, the 15th Royal Scots, raised in September, attracted a large number of Herioters, and the 2nd Edinburgh Battalion, the 16th Royal Scots, raised some weeks later, a still greater number. It was in affording a home for a few months to the 16th Royal Scots, under Colonel Sir George McCrae, that the Old Hospital made its second acquaintance with war— a closer and more poignant acquaintance, for this time it was sheltering under its roof not the soldiers of a hostile army, but the men of its own city, many of them its own dear lads, who doubtless felt a strange elation in being billeted in the rooms they knew so well or performing their military drill in the playground where a few years before they had played together as boys. These two battalions went together to France, and in the Somme Valley on 1st July 1916 they sustained terrible losses, many " Old Boys " being among the number of the fallen. By December 1914 the names of over 630 Former Pupils known to be serving were given in The Herioter, and a few months later the number had increased to 1000. A com- parison of the School records, with the lists of those who served and those who fell in the War, brings out some very interesting facts. It shows on the one hand how splendid was the response made by the boys to their Country's Call, and on the other how terrible the calamity which has befallen us in the loss of so many young men, the cream of the School in intellectual ability, cut off in the vigour and bloom of youth. Take Class VI. Senior from session — IO GEORGE HERIOT'S SCHOOL 1909-10 to session 1916-17. The lists contain 151 names: Of these 141 were serving, and 29 died on service. For the last five years the figures are : Total number on Roll, 89 ; number serving, 88 (one could not because of reasons of health ) ; number who died on service, 17. Take, again, the lists of the Prefects, the twelve head boys chosen each year to represent the Authority of the School in playground and playing-fields, and generally beyond the School walls : young men all of gifts and graces. From 1908, when the Prefect System was introduced, to all 19 1 7 (nine years) there were in 97 Prefects (some held the office two years in succession). Of these, 93 were on service, and no fewer than 18 of them fell in action, including two Captains of the School—James Bell, Captain in 191 5, and Herbert Philip Turnbull, Captain in 191 7. Most of those who| obtained honours in the School were on service, and the obituary list contains the names of three Duxes killed in action —Samuel Stephen Anderson, Dux in Robert Gilroy Hannerman, Joint-Dux in 1899; 1912 ; and Noel Rogerson, Dux in 191 7.

  • The Night Operation on the Passchendaele Ridge, 2Nd December 1917
    Centre for First World War Studies A Moonlight Massacre: The Night Operation on the Passchendaele Ridge, 2nd December 1917 by Michael Stephen LoCicero Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law June 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The Third Battle of Ypres was officially terminated by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig with the opening of the Battle of Cambrai on 20 November 1917. Nevertheless, a comparatively unknown set-piece attack – the only large-scale night operation carried out on the Flanders front during the campaign – was launched twelve days later on 2 December. This thesis, a necessary corrective to published campaign narratives of what has become popularly known as „Passchendaele‟, examines the course of events from the mid-November decision to sanction further offensive activity in the vicinity of Passchendaele village to the barren operational outcome that forced British GHQ to halt the attack within ten hours of Zero. A litany of unfortunate decisions and circumstances contributed to the profitless result.

  • The Working Environment of Interpreters, Translators And
    The care and feeding of linguists: the working environment of interpreters, translators and linguists during peacekeeping in Bosnia-Herzegovina Dr Catherine Baker University of Southampton Contact details: Department of Modern Languages, Avenue Campus, University of Southampton, Highfield Road, Southampton, SO17 1BF. Email: [email protected] Abstract: The history of war and peacekeeping has little to say about languages or the people who work with them, yet a closer inspection shows that contacts between different languages and the presence of an interpreter were a routine experience during the peacekeeping and peace-building operations conducted by the UN and NATO in Bosnia-Herzegovina. This paper shows how political, strategic, tactical and economic pressures affected the working lives of local civilians employed as interpreters/translators/linguists and the soldiers from the multinational force who served as military interpreters. In so doing, it argues that the history of interlingual communication deserves to be included in the history of conflict. The United Nations (UN) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) to safeguard humanitarian aid convoys and protect the UN safe areas during the war (1992–95), then implement and uphold the Dayton peace agreement which laid out BiH’s post-war settlement, required a multi-national assortment of soldiers and civilian defence staff to encounter a place of which they mostly knew little and forced the remaining inhabitants of BiH to encounter them. Indeed, the activities of ‘peacekeeping’ comprised a multitude of intercultural encounters not only between the peacekeepers and the local civilian and military populations but also between the soldiers from more than 30 different national and military cultures who worked together at headquarters, in logistics or engineering projects, on weapons inspections and in combined training exercises.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Vcs from Midlothian Sapper Adam Archibald, Royal Engineers, Was
    VCs from Midlothian Sapper Adam Archibald, Royal Engineers, was born on 14 January 1879 at Leith. He was the son of Rennie Archibald, a Plasterer, and Christina Archibald, of 24 Shaws Street, Edinburgh. He lived at 53 Balfour Street with his wife and four children, and before he joined the Army in 1916 he had been Outside Foreman with Stewart’s Granolithic Co Ltd of Duff Street. In his younger days he had been a keen footballer and had had a trial with St Bernard’s FC. He was also a bowler and at the time of his enlistment he had been President of the Eastfield Bowling Club. Another of his hobbies was gardening and he had won prizes at local flower shows. He was a freemason belonging to the Elgin and Bruce Lodge at Limekilns in Fife. He enlisted with the 7th Durham Light Infantry before transferring to the 218th Field Company, Royal Engineers during the second battle of the Sambre. At the age of 39, he was awarded the Victoria Cross for action while his unit was attempting to bridge the Sambre–Oise Canal. His citation said: On 4 November 1918 near Ors, France, Sapper Archibald was with a party building a floating bridge across the canal. He was foremost in the work under a very heavy artillery barrage and machine-gun fire. The latter was directed at him from a few yards distance while he was working on the cork floats. Nevertheless he persevered in his task and his example and efforts were such that the bridge which was essential to the success of the operations was very quickly completed.
