  • Imjin70 Information Sheet What Is the Battle of Imjin River?
    Imjin70 Information Sheet What is the battle of Imjin River? The battle of Imjin River was fought between the 22 – 25th of April 1951. The battle was part of a Chinese counter-offensive, after United Nations forces had recaptured Seoul in March 1951 The assault on ‘Gloster Hill’ was led by General Peng Dehuai who commanded a force of 300,000 troops attacking over a 40-mile sector. The 29th Independent Infantry Brigade group, under the command of Brigadier Tom Brodie, comprised of the 1st Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment, led by Lieutenant-Colonel J.P ‘Fred’ Carne, the 1st Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, 1st Royal Ulster Rifles, 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars, C squadron 7th Royal Tank Regiment, 45th Field regiment Royal Artillery, 11th Light Anti-Aircraft Battery Royal Artillery, and 170th Battery Royal Artillery. The brigade was responsible for defending a 15-kilometre section of the front, over which General Peng Dehuai sent three divisions of his force. What resulted was the bloodiest battle that involved British troops in modern history since the Second World War. In the three-day battle, the Gloucestershire Regiment took the heaviest fire on 24th April 1951. In the early hours of the day, the ‘Glosters’ were forced to regroup and defend hill 235, now known as ‘Gloster Hill.’ That day an attempt was made to reinforce the Gloster’ position, but the Chinese military had now surrounded their position, and attempts to reinforce them were impossible. The 29th Independent Brigades mission became withdrawal. The other battalions retreated while the Glosters, Irish Fusiliers, and Ulster Riflemen repelled attack after attack.

  • Summary of Research Into the St James Parish War Memorial
    St James Parish War Memorial The memorial is located in the south porch of the church and is dedicated to 10 Navy personnel and 99 Army personnel. The inscription above the names reads: ‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS CHURCH AND PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR’ This document is intended to be a companion to the individual records of the service men who are remembered on St James Parish WW1 memorial. A group of volunteers investigated each of the names on the memorial and recorded the information they found. We were unable to confirm findings on all of the names, and much information has not been found about the backgrounds of those we did trace. However, a substantial amount of information has been found and recorded and we hope this will be useful to those interested in WW1 and in the lives of the men on the memorial and indeed their families. Details of the information found on each of the men commemorated can be found by going to our website www.stjamespriory.org.uk/ and clicking on history and going to family history research. If you have any information on the individuals commemorated on the memorials or have any questions about the information gathered to date, please contact: [email protected] MILITARY LIFE Age of those remembered The youngest to die were three, 18 year old young men; William Bryant, a private in the Dorset Regiment who died on the Somme, John Henry Daley a private in the Royal Fusiliers, and Henry Gilbert Edmondson a private in the Royal Army Medical Corps.

  • The Contribution of the Irish Soldier to the British Army During the Peninsula Campaign 1808 – 1814
    The Journal of Military History and Defence Studies Volume 1 Issue 1 (January 2020) The contribution of the Irish soldier to the British Army during the Peninsula campaign 1808 – 1814 James Deery The majority of the historiography concerning the Irish contribution to the British army during their campaign on the Iberian Peninsula (1808 -1814) has focused on the Irish regiments and their service with Wellington in Portugal, Spain and France. While the significance of research into these regiments is undeniable it has unintentionally resulted in an under appreciation of the true extent of the Irish soldier’s contribution. The purpose of this paper is to add to the existing historiography by examining the wider Irish contribution in order to arrive at an empirical based assessment as to the criticality of the Irish soldier to Wellington’s victory during the Peninsula war. The majority of Irish soldiers who served in the Peninsula did so in English and Scottish infantry regiments. Their abilities and crucially their integration into the British army were key success factors for Wellington during the Peninsula campaign. An examination of how this was achieved forms a key part of this paper which finds that the capabilities of the Irish soldier and the British army organisational structure and system mutually supported each other. Furthermore, the Irish officer’s contribution has only been assessed based on individual accounts and narratives in the absence of any in-depth evaluation of their actual numbers. With over 30 per cent of Wellington’s officers being Irish an analysis of their levels of command was undertaken to demonstrate their significance to the overall conduct and operation of the Peninsula army.
