  • Southern Rhodesia's Commitment to the First World War The
    Southern Rhodesia’s commitment to the First World War The publications below were used as sources in order to compile for the first time a definitive record of the number of Southern Rhodesians who served during WWI. Prior to this there has been no single definitive list, as these various sources are generally regiment or race specific. Total blacks during WWI 2700 Total whites during WWI 6115 Grand Total: 8815 A rounded figure of 9,000 would be reasonable to quote. Over 800 Rhodesians of all races lost their lives on operational service. These figures were compiled from the following sources: McLaughlin, P. Ragtime Soldiers, (Books of Zimbabwe, 1980): 1st Rhodesia Regiment: 500 2nd Rhodesia Regiment: 1038 African Scouts, Drivers att. 2RR: 30 1st & 2nd Rhodesia Native Regiment : 2360 A&B British South Africa Police Service Companies (known as Southern Rhodesia or Murray's Column) 100 [this is too low] Total blacks during WWI 2700 Total whites during WWI 5716 Grand Total: 8416 Capell, Lt-Col. A.E. The 2nd Rhodesia Regiment in East Africa (Naval and Military Press, 2008): 2nd Rhodesia Regiment: 1038 (36 officers and 1002 rank and file) Gibbs, P., & Phillips, H: The History of the British South Africa Police 1889-1980 (Something of Value, 2000): A & B Service Companies, BSAP: 500 (Southern Rhodesia or Murray's Column) Binda, A. Masodja (30 Degrees South, 2007): 1st Rhodesia Native Regiment: 450 (24 white and 426 black) 2nd Rhodesia Native Regiment: 660 (75 white and 585 black) Salt, B. A Pride of Eagles (Covos Day, 2001) Total all forces during WWI 6000 [No mention is made of numbers in the Royal Flying Corps] Wikipedia Though it was one of the few combatant territories not to raise fighting men through conscription, proportional to white population, Southern Rhodesia contributed more manpower to the British war effort than any other dominion or colony, and more than Britain itself*.

B 5963 THE DRIVE ON CAEN | 1 Foreword by the Under Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Veterans, Ivor Caplin MP In carrying out my responsibilities as Minister for Veterans, I have become aware of the importance of meeting the desire of the British people to find ways of expressing their feelings for those who fought – and in many cases gave their lives – during the Second World War. These booklets aim not only to remember and commemorate those who served, but also to inform future generations of their efforts and achievements. Their stories can only serve as an inspiration for those growing up now. I want new generations to be aware of the veterans’ sacrifices, and of the important contributions they made to our security and to the way of life we enjoy today. This, the fourth book in the series, commemorates the actions of Operations Perch, Epsom and Charnwood that led to the liberation of Caen on 9 July 1944. Caen, the ancient capital of Normandy, was a vital road and rail junction that the Allies needed to capture before they could advance south through the excellent tank country of the Falaise Plain.

    FIFE AND FORFAR YEOMANRY THE FIFE AND FORFAR YEOMANRY THE FIFE AND FORFAR YEOMANRY AND 14TH (F. & F. YEO.) BATTN. R. H. 1914- 1919 BY MAJOR D. D. OG1LVIE WITH A PREFACE BY MAJOR-GENERAL E. S. GIRDWOOD, CD., C.M.G. Lately G.O.C. 74th (Vconi.uny) Division ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET 1921 All rights reserved FOREWORD MAJOR OUII.VIE has done me the honour of asking me to write a short preface to a work which to me is of peculiar interest. To write a preface-and especially a short one-is a somewhat difficult task, but my intense pride in, and admiration for, the part played by the Battalion with which the gallant author was so long and honourably associated must be my excuse for undertaking to do my best. From his stout record as a soldier the author's qualifications to write this history are undoubted. His readers will be able to follow from start to glorious finish of the Great \Var the fortunes of that gallant little band of Fife and Foiiar Yeomen who ultimately became the 14th (Fife and Forfar Yeomanry) Battalion The Royal Highlanders. There was little of moment in the operations of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in which this unit did not take part. In divers theatres of war they answeredthe call of Empire-from Gallipoli to Jerusalem, from Jerusalem to France-ever upholding the honour of their King and Country and the best traditions of the British Army. b vi FOREWORD No matter what by-path of the Great War they trod they bore themselves with the un- daunted spirit of their forefathers.
