December Edition.Qxp wireTHE December 2009 The Royal Corps of Signals THE WIRE, DECEMBER 2009 A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM THE MASTER OF SIGNALS LIEUTENANT GENERAL ROBERT BAXTER CBE In my day job of looking after health matters for Defence, I fully understand just what a hard year it has been for the British Army. The support of the public and notably our retired comrades has been heartwarming and deeply appreciated. When you get the opportunity to say thank you for this support please do so. Our fellow signallers in the TA have taken a pretty severe beating and have demonstrated impressive resilience and adaptability. Again this year our regular and reserve, men and women, perform their complex, sometimes dangerous, and usually untrumpeted tasks with a determination and professional approval that I find humbling. Many challenges await us all in the New Year but I know that our Signal Officer in Chief and his team have charted a clear course though the turbulent waters. I look to you all in joining me in giving our unreserved support. I remain, as always, deeply proud of you all. All very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year from Gwynedd and myself to you, your families and loved ones. Sure and Swift. A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM THE SIGNAL OFFICER IN CHIEF (ARMY) BRIGADIER TED FLINT These are times of great challenge and change; indeed, to be frank, they are in many ways difficult times. As I travel around the Corps, however, I am struck by how well you all are doing and how the Corps’ reputation continues to grow. Recent developments in warfare and technology have created an unprecedented demand for our cheerful, confident, skilful, brave and tough men and women. I am immensely proud of the way in which you all rise to meet every new challenge. To those of you who are serving in the troops, squadrons and regiments of the Field Army and Special Forces: I commend you for overcoming hardship, adversity and danger to get the message through wherever and whenever it is needed, or to intercept the enemy’s communications, or to defeat his murderous bombs. To our Territorial Army soldiers and officers: this has been a difficult year for you, and I congratulate you on your resilience and your continued loyalty which I know has been sorely tested. Please know that we value you, we need you and we are far the richer for what you bring to the Corps. To those of you who are serving in the acquisition organisation, in Whitehall or in headquarters, I pass on the thanks and appreciation of our field soldiers for the work that you do on their behalf. Your work is immensely important and you can take considerable pride in the fact that you continue to deliver the goods despite labouring under enormous pressures of finance, manpower and time. To those of you serving in the training and recruiting organisations I congratulate you on the fantastic work that you do. Everywhere I go I hear about the terrific quality of the people that emerge from our training establishments. That is down to you, and you should take deep pride in a job well done. Thank you too to our many civilian colleagues, whether in the Civil Service or industry – we could not do what we do without your dedication and commitment. Turning to the retired Corps, on whose shoulders we stand, I know that I speak for the whole of the serving Corps when I thank you for your continued loyalty, interest and support. Finally, and most importantly of all, to our families: you are the unsung heroes and heroines of our great Corps Family. I cannot begin to thank you warmly enough for your patience, support and love. I wish you all, wherever you might be, a very Merry Christmas and the happiest New Year. Certa Cito!

  • Cyril F Carey's Story
    ANZAC DAY 2014 - Commemoration The Christchurch earthquakes have shaken our lives and our memories. They have also unearthed many stories and it is thanks to the vigilance of a demolition crew that they did not throw away the tattered scrapbook found in the debris of a house last year but returned it to its family. That scrapbook provided the basis for the commemoration today. Lieutenant Cyril Fuller Carey Died of wounds November 7th 1916 Sling Camp, Salisbury Plain, England Cyril Fuller Carey was born in 1891, the second son of Mr and Mrs A F Carey, owners of Carey’s Ready Money store in Christchurch with Mr Carey being a well-known draper. Cyril attended Christchurch Boys’ High School in 1906 and 1907 and left school to join the Union Steam Ship Company as a cadet on the training ship Dartford. He trained at sea for several years and in 1912 left to follow ‘farming pursuits near Blenheim’. The outbreak of war saw Cyril join up, and while little is known of his training, he is listed as a Second Lieutenant in the 12th(Nelson) Infantry Regiment which left New Zealand in March 1916 as part of the 10th Reinforcements of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. The regiment spent a brief time in Egypt before moving to England to a camp on the Salisbury Plain known as Sling Camp. This was home to over 4000 NZ troops and served as a training ground for troops being sent to France and as a rehabilitation centre. The site is now overlooked by the Bulford Kiwi, carved by the soldiers into the limestone hill above the camp.

  • Of 10 Army Basing Briefing Note for Town And
    Army Basing Briefing Note for Town and Parish Councils - Updated June 2016 Purpose: To advise Town and Parish Councils to be affected by the British Army Basing programme of further progress on the MOD’s Army Basing plans. Background: The Army Basing Review1 announced by the Secretary of State for Defence on 5 March 2013, takes its lead from the new Army 2020 Plan outlined in July 20122 . It comprises two key elements: 1. Reaction Forces – at readiness, capable of war-fighting 2. Adaptable Forces – capable of persistent engagement at home and overseas In addition, Force Troops Brigades will provide a range of capabilities (engineer, artillery and medical support) from a centralised pool of resources to support the above, as well as a coordination and control function for key tasks, e.g. overseas capacity building. The Basing Plan, which commenced implementation in 2014, relocates a number of army units throughout the UK as well as relocating all units from Germany by 2020.on completion of the programme the Regular Army will consist of 82,000 personnel. Army Basing In Wiltshire: Following the Army Basing Review, undertaken by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and released in March 2013, the MOD has announced that the Reaction Force Brigade Headquarters will be centred on the Salisbury Plain Training Area, with three Armoured Infantry Brigades. The Salisbury Plain Training Area is the only place in the country where the Army can carry out complex and demanding training exercises. It is envisaged, however, that there will only be a marginal increase in training activity on the Salisbury Plain due to the training area’s finite capacity and the MOD’s undertaking not to compromise the environmental sustainability of habitats and archaeology.

  • Sentimental Equipment‟: New Zealand, the Great War and Cultural Mobilisation
    „Sentimental Equipment‟: New Zealand, the Great War and Cultural Mobilisation By Steven Loveridge A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2013 ‗See that little stream - we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it - a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs … This western-front business couldn‘t be done again, not for a long time … This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. …You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment [emphasis added] going back further than you could remember… This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle - there was a century of middle-class love spent here … All my beautiful lovely safe world blew itself up here with a great gust of high explosive love‘.1 1 F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender is the Night (London, 1985), pp.67-68. ii Abstract During the First World War, New Zealand society was dominated by messages stressing the paramount importance of the war effort to which the country was so heavily committed.
