  • The Role of Chinese Labour Corps in Repairing and Maintaining British
    Published in Surveying and Built Environment, Vol. 21, Issue 12 (Dec. 2011), 12-20. (ISSN 1816-9554) Chinese Eyes on British Tanks: Historical Verification of a War Heritage Lee Ho Yin ______________________________________________ ABSTRACT This paper is about a British military tradition with a Chinese connection. It has taken the author several years of research to dispel the myth that has long shrouded the true origins of a regimental tradition of the 1st Royal Tank Regiment of the British Army. This tradition is a pair of eyes, known as the "Chinese Eyes," painted on the bows or turrets of British tanks from World War I to the present day. As such, the "Chinese Eyes" can be regarded as an intangible heritage expressed on the tangible hardware of the British Army. Using the research methodology for architectural conservation, the author attempts to rediscover obscured historical evidence, using it to chronologically reconstruct the events leading to the creation of this tradition. KEYWORDS Military heritage, historical research, interpretation, authenticity. Director, Architectural Conservation Programme (ACP), Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong. E-mail: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION: METHODOLOGY AND ORIGINS OF RESEARCH It is a little known fact that British tanks, produced in the thousands during World War I, were cared for by the skillful hands of the Chinese Labour Corps.1 Who would have thought that there is such a seemingly improbable connection between Chinese men and British war machines? More incredibly, who would have thought that a Chinese individual – an individual with an indirect link with Hong Kong – was responsible for creating a famous military tradition of British tanks – a pair of eyes, known as the "Chinese Eyes" that have been painted on British tanks since World War I.

  • Angry Staff Officer: However, His Tank Was Halted by a Group of Surrendering Iraqis
    W.S. Adin: Around 9:30 on the night of February 26, 1991, Sergeant First Class Anthony Steede was rolling through the Iraqi desert. His M1 Abrams tank had just knocked out multiple Iraqi T-72s and BMPs and he was feeling pretty good. Angry Staff Officer: However, his tank was halted by a group of surrendering Iraqis. Annoyed at being slowed down, Steede got on the radio to try to convince his commander to let the follow- on infantry gather up the prisoners instead of him. As he did so, a T-72 from 1,000 meters out put a 125mm round into his tank’s most vulnerable part: the turret ring. Adin: The force of the explosion threw Steede from his position in the turret onto the exterior of the tank. Jarred, but conscious, Steede jumped back into the smoking turret and dragged his wounded gunner out. His loader had rolled out of the turret and was laying on the ground, bleeding profusely. Angry Staff Officer: With his driver, Steede moved the two wounded men away from the tank, concerned that the ammunition would begin to cook off, since the explosion had shot away the blast door that protected the crew from their ammo blowing up. But they needed their aid bag. Which was in the tank. Adin: So Steede ran back to get it. While doing so, he attempted to get the tank going again, but it was a lost cause. So, braving the small arms fire that was now concentrating on their position, he ran back to his crew.

  • BAOR July 1989
    BAOR ORDER OF BATTLE JULY 1989 “But Pardon, and Gentles all, The flat unraised spirits that have dared On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth So great an object….” Chorus, Henry V Act 1, Prologue This document began over five years ago from my frustration in the lack of information (or just plain wrong information) regarding the British Army of The Rhine in general and the late Cold War in particular. The more I researched through books, correspondence, and through direct questions to several “Old & Bold” on Regimental Association Forums, the more I became determined to fill in this gap. The results are what you see in the following pages. Before I begin a list of acknowledgements let me recognize my two co-authors, for this is as much their work as well as mine. “PM” was instrumental in sharing his research on the support Corps, did countless hours of legwork, and never failed to dig up information on some of my arcane questions. “John” made me “THINK” British Army! He has been an inspiration; a large part of this work would have not been possible without him. He added the maps and the color formation signs, as well as reformatting the whole document. I can only humbly say that these two gentlemen deserve any and all accolades as a result of this document. Though we have put much work into this document it is far from finished. Anyone who would like to contribute information of their time in BAOR or sources please contact me at [email protected]. The document will be updated with new information periodically.

  • From Dictatorship to Democracy: Iraq Under Erasure Abeer Shaheen
    From Dictatorship to Democracy: Iraq under Erasure Abeer Shaheen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 ©2015 Abeer Shaheen All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Dictatorship to Democracy: Iraq under Erasure Abeer Shaheen This dissertation examines the American project in Iraq between 1991 and 2006. It studies the project’s conceptual arc, shifting ontology, discourses, institutions, practices, and technologies in their interrelatedness to constitute a new Iraq. It is an ethnography of a thixotropic regime of law and order in translation; a circuit through various landscapes and temporalities to narrate the 1991 war, the institutionalization of sanctions and inspection regimes, material transformations within the American military, the 2003 war and finally the nation- building processes as a continuous and unitary project. The dissertation makes three central arguments: First, the 2003 war on Iraq was imagined through intricate and fluid spaces and temporalities. Transforming Iraq into a democratic regime has served as a catalyst for transforming the American military organization and the international legal system. Second, this project has reordered the spatialized time of Iraq by the imposition of models in translation, reconfigured and reimagined through a realm of violence. These models have created in Iraq a regime of differential mobility, which was enabled through an ensemble of experts, new institutions and calculative technologies. Third, this ensemble took Iraq as its object of knowledge and change rendering Iraq and Iraqis into a set of abstractions within the three spaces under examination: the space of American military institutions; the space of international legality within the United Nations; and, lastly, the material space of Baghdad.

  • Iraqi Combatant and Noncombatant Fatalities in the 1991 Gulf War
    The Wages of War: Iraqi Combatant and Noncombatant Fatalities in the 2003 Conflict Project on Defense Alternatives Research Monograph #8 Carl Conetta, 20 October 2003 Appendix 2: Iraqi Combatant and Noncombatant Fatalities in the 1991 Gulf War INDEX 1. Iraqi civilian fatalities in the 1991 Gulf War 2. Iraqi military personnel killed during the air war 3. Iraqi military personnel killed during the ground war 4. Buried alive: 1st Division breeching operations 5. The “Highway(s) of Death” Sources We accept 3,664 (rounded to 3,500+) as an estimate of the number of Iraqi civilians killed in the 1991 Gulf War. Regarding military personnel, we estimate that between 20,000 and 26,000 were killed in the conflict. 1. Iraqi civilian fatalities in the 1991 Gulf War The estimate for civilian deaths is based on a study conducted by Beth Osborne Daponte, a former Census Bureau analyst and currently a senior research scientist at Carnegie Mellon University (Daponte 1993). With regard to civilian casualties directly attributable to the war, the study builds on earlier research conducted by Humans Rights Watch shortly after the war (HRW 1991). The HRW estimate of 2,500 to 3,000 Iraqi civilians killed in the war was based on eyewitness reports, although no claim was made that the survey was comprehensive. From this source Daponte compiled a database of 2,665 deaths, after removing duplicate reports. Subsequently, she checked this on a province by province basis against the official Iraqi records of 2,278 civilian deaths from the war. Overall it appeared that the Iraqi government had undercounted the civilian death toll, although this was not systematic.
