Welcome to the American Enterprise Institute’s live web event on the strategic priorities for the United States and the United Kingdom. My name is Mackenzie Eaglen.

He started his career in the British army, commissioning from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and saw active service in Northern Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, and Central America. He was mentioned in dispatches while on operations in the 1990s. After leaving the army, Secretary Wallace joined the aerospace company QinetiQ, where he gained experience in the defense industry writ large.

As no Canadian Air Force yet existed, thousands of Canadians fought the First World War in British flying units. Canadians first served with the Royal Flying Corps (rfc) or with the Royal Naval Air Service (rnas). These two services amalgamated on 1 April 1918 into the Royal Air Force (raf). In total, an estimated 13,000–22,000 individuals from Canada joined the British flying services. In 1924, the Royal Canadian Air Force (rcaf) was created. With the outbreak of war in September 1939, the rcaf was able to draw on an existing cadre of officers and airmen and also attracted experienced personnel from private enterprise. By 1945, close to 250,000 men and women had served in the rcaf at home and abroad. This guide will illustrate the process of researching an individual’s service, from the essential starting point of service documents to supporting resources for detail and further discovery.

  • The Political Career of Stephen W
    37? N &/J /V z 7 PORTRAIT OF AN AGE: THE POLITICAL CAREER OF STEPHEN W. DORSEY, 1868-1889 DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Sharon K. Lowry, M.A. Denton, Texas May, 19 80 @ Copyright by Sharon K. Lowry 1980 Lowry, Sharon K., Portrait of an Age: The Political Career of Stephen W. Dorsey, 1868-1889. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1980, 447 pp., 6 tables, 1 map, bibliography, 194 titles. The political career of Stephen Dorsey provides a focus for much of the Gilded Age. Dorsey was involved in many significant events of the period. He was a carpetbagger during Reconstruction and played a major role in the Compromise of 1877. He was a leader of the Stalwart wing of the Republican party, and he managed Garfield's 1880 presidential campaign. The Star Route Frauds was one of the greatest scandals of a scandal-ridden era, and Dorsey was a central figure in these frauds. Dorsey tried to revive his political career in New Mexico after his acquittal in the Star Route Frauds, but his reputation never recovered from the notoriety he received at the hands of the star route prosecutors. Like many of his contemporaries in Gilded Age politics, Dorsey left no personal papers which might have assisted a biographer. Sources for this study included manuscripts in the Library of Congress and the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives in Santa Fe; this study also made use of newspapers, records in the National Archives, congressional investigations of Dorsey printed in the reports and documents of the House and Senate, and the transcripts of the star route trials.

  • Henry Grace DCM Sergeant 6830, 1St Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry
    Henry Grace DCM Sergeant 6830, 1st Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. Henry Grace was born in 1885 and baptised on 21 July in Amersham. He was the eldest son of Thomas and Frances Fanny Grace, formerly Eggleton, living at Washington Row, Amersham. Thomas was a general farm labourer but had previously served in the 10th Hussars during the Afghan and Egyptian Campaigns 1878 – 1880. His five sons all served in H.M.Forces during the 1914-18 war. Henry enlisted as a private in the regular army of the 1st Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (OBLI) in 1901, in High Wycombe. His occupation was recorded as gardener’s labourer. At the time of the 1911 Census he was a Lance Corporal serving with the military in India. The 1st Battalion OBLI was part of the 17th Brigade, 6th Poona Division, and left India for Mesopotamia (now Iraq) in November 1914. There, the Battalion took part in the campaign against the Ottoman forces that ruled the country. Henry’s Medal Roll Index card showed that he entered the Asiatic theatre of war on 5 December 1914. In December Henry was mentioned in dispatches and nine months later, after promotion to a sergeant, he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for conspicuous gallantry at Kut-al-Amara (Mesopotamia). On the 28th September 1915, he sent messages to the artillery by heliograph under heavy fire, although he had to stand in full view of the enemy’s redoubts to do so. The British had taken Kut and advanced towards Baghdad but were stopped at Ctesiphon and forced to retreat.
