The authorities consulted have been quoted for each campaign, in order that those desirous of making a fuller study can do so. I have made no pretence of writing a history or making comments, but I have tried to place on record all facts which can show the development of the Corps through the Nineteenth and early part of the Twentieth Centuries.

The numbers voted were 9007, but the RM Artillery had officially ceased to exist - a School of Laboratory and nominally two companies quartered at Fort Cumberland as part of the Portsmouth Division only being maintained. The Portsmouth Division were still in the old inadequate Clarence Barracks in the High Street; Plymouth and Chatham were in their present barracks, which had not then been enlarged to their present size, and Woolwich were in the western part of the Royal Artillery Barracks.

  • Military Themes in British Painting 1815 - 1914
    / Military Themes in British Painting 1815 - 1914. Joan Winifred Martin Hichberger. Submission fcr PhD. University College, London. 1985 1 Abstract. Joan Winifred Martin Hichberger. Military Themes in British Painting 1815-1914. This thesis examines the treatment of the Bzitish Army and military themes, in painting, during the period 1815- 1914. All the works discussed were exhibited at the Royal Academy, which, although it underwent modifications in status, remained the nearest equivalent to a State Institution for Art in Britain. All the paintings shown there were painted with the knowledge that they were to be seen by the controllers of the Academy and the dominant classes of society. It will be inferred then, that the paintings shown there may be taken to have been acceptable to ruling class ideologies, and are therefore instructive of "official" attitudes to military art. Representations of the contemporary Army, in this period, fell into two main catagories - battle paintings and genre depictions of soldiers. Chapters one to three survey battle paintings; studying the relation of this genre to the Academy; the relative popularity of the genre and the career patterns of its practioners. The critical reception of battle pictures at the Academy and certain important public competitions will be noted and considered in the context of contemporary ideologies about art and about the Army and its men. Chapter four discusses the vital concept of "heroism" and its treatment in English military art. In particular, the reasons for the popularity of certain military figures above their peers, in academic art, will be explored. It will be argued that the process of "hero-making" in art was not determined by professional success alone, but was often the result of the intervention of patrons, publicists and pressure groups.

  • Seeing Things at Night
    Seeing Things At Night By Heywood Broun SEEING THINGS AT NIGHT The Fifty-first Dragon Of all the pupils at the knight school Gawaine le Cœur-Hardy was among the least promising. He was tall and sturdy, but his instructors soon discovered that he lacked spirit. He would hide in the woods when the jousting class was called, although his companions and members of the faculty sought to appeal to his better nature by shouting to him to come out and break his neck like a man. Even when they told him that the lances were padded, the horses no more than ponies and the field unusually soft for late autumn, Gawaine refused to grow enthusiastic. The Headmaster and the Assistant Professor of Pleasaunce were discussing the case one spring afternoon and the Assistant Professor could see no remedy but expulsion. "No," said the Headmaster, as he looked out at the purple hills which ringed the school, "I think I'll train him to slay dragons." "He might be killed," objected the Assistant Professor. "So he might," replied the Headmaster brightly, but he added, more soberly, "We must consider the greater good. We are responsible for the formation of this lad's character." "Are the dragons particularly bad this year?" interrupted the Assistant Professor. This was characteristic. He always seemed restive when the head of the school began to talk ethics and the ideals of the institution. "I've never known them worse," replied the Headmaster. "Up in the hills to the south last week they killed a number of peasants, two cows and a prize pig.

  • Christopher Ward The
    Preface This book is not a history of the American Revolution. It is a history of the war that was caused by the Revolution. As John Adams well said: "A history of the first war of the United States is a very different thing from a history of the American Revolution. The revolution was in the minds of the people and in the union of the colonies, both of which were accom­ plished before hostilities commenced. This revolution and union were gradually forming from the years 1760 to 1776." With the Revolution as thus properly described, this book is not con­ cerned, except in the brief resume of the causes of the war in the first chapter. Its aim is to tell the story of the war on land, the campaigns, battles, sieges, marches, encampments, bivouacs, the strategy and tactics, the hard­ ships, and the endurance of hardship. It is purely military in its intention and scope. The war, from the first shot at Lexington in 1775 to the cessation qf hos­ tilities in 1782, lasted nearly eight years. It was fought in a territory extend­ ing from Quebec southward to Georgia and from the Atlantic seaboard westward to the frontier settlements. Many of its campaigns, in the various regions in which they were fought, were simultaneous. In the spring of 1776, while the American army under Arnold was still - struggling to keep a foothold in Canada, a British army under Henry Clinton was on its way south to attack Charleston in South Carolina. On September 11, 1777, while Washington was fighting the Battle of the Brandywine, Bur­ goyne was on his way down the Hudson to Saratoga.

    Australians at War Film Archive Arthur Rodger - Transcript of interview Date of interview: 30th January 2004 http://australiansatwarfilmarchive.unsw.edu.au/archive/1440 Tape 1 00:36 We’ll start Arthur by [asking you to tell] us your life story. I was born in Newtown, Sydney on the 5th October 1917 and I came back to Queensland after six weeks because my mother, [she] just went down to Sydney to be with her mother while I was being born. 01:00 I started school at Goodna State School but my father worked on maintenance at the Asylum at Goodna. Being a stonemason there was no stonemasonry work at the moment, so the family, the mother and the four of us, that’s the two sisters and the brother, went back to Sydney, and stayed with our grandmother at Ashfield. I went to Croydon Park State School 01:30 there for a while. The father was going to come down but he didn’t because he got work. He started work on the Brisbane Town Hall as a stonemason in 1924. So we all came back to Brisbane and stayed at Kangaroo Point until we found a house. I went to Kangaroo Point State School for a little while and then they bought a house at Coorparoo. I finished primary school our at Coorparoo State school. 02:00 An item of note, one of my classmates was Dick Braithwaite who was one of the survivors of the Sandakan death march [while prisoner of the Japanese] and also he played with me in Australian Rules, in the first Australian Rules Schoolboy competition held in Queensland, and we got, I think it was Essendon guernseys.
