  • British 8Th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-1918
    Centre for First World War Studies British 8th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-18 by Alun Miles THOMAS Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law January 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT Recent years have seen an increasingly sophisticated debate take place with regard to the armies on the Western Front during the Great War. Some argue that the British and Imperial armies underwent a ‘learning curve’ coupled with an increasingly lavish supply of munitions, which meant that during the last three months of fighting the BEF was able to defeat the German Army as its ability to conduct operations was faster than the enemy’s ability to react. This thesis argues that 8th Division, a war-raised formation made up of units recalled from overseas, became a much more effective and sophisticated organisation by the war’s end. It further argues that the formation did not use one solution to problems but adopted a sophisticated approach dependent on the tactical situation.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. “With the utmost precision and team play”: The 3rd New Zealand Division and Operation ‘Squarepeg’ A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts (Defence & Strategic Studies) by Shaun Mawdsley Centre for Defence and Security Studies College of Humanities and Social Sciences Massey University 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the influences and course of the 3rd New Zealand (NZ) Division’s preparations for Operation ‘Squarepeg’ in the Green Islands, in February 1944. It argues that as the largest New Zealand amphibious operation of the Second World War, ‘Squarepeg’ holds a key place in identifying the development of amphibious and jungle warfare doctrine within the New Zealand Army during the war. As such, it can indicate the abilities of the 3rd NZ Division to conduct combat operations in the South Pacific in 1944. The thesis shows that the New Zealand Army was unprepared for operations in the South Pacific, as it had neglected relevant inter-war developments. The hasty formation of the 3rd NZ Division in 1942, as a response to Japanese expansion in the South Pacific, served to highlight the challenges that the division and its commander, Major-General Harold Barrowclough, had to overcome. The studying of foreign doctrine to supplement the dearth of New Zealand material was vital for the 3rd NZ Division’s preparations for deployment.

  • Letting Clausewitz Go: the Lesson the Canadian Army Must Learn from Afghanistan
    Views and opinions Letting Clausewitz Go: The Lesson the Canadian Army Must Learn From AFghanistan by Andrew godefroy rubs this imposed Clausewitzian intellectual touchstone, there is, in reality, very little to be gained from trying to re-invent ourselves as 19th Century Prussian philosophers and general staff officers. Still, to simply chastise the Canadian Army for clinging to the ‘square peg’ of Clausewitz, and trying to stuff his wisdom into the round holes that are our real-life strategic, operational, and tactical problems, would be somewhat unfair. For Canada, as a traditionally supporting actor in the Cold War era NATO and ABCA land force juggernaut, having Clausewitz jammed down our collective throats by our larger and more influential allies was largely unavoidable. Yet now, especially after the Canadian campaign in Afghanistan, where the Army has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to achieve success by its own example, the Army must learn to let this dated and increasingly obtuse European philosopher that was forced upon us go. It is time to refocus more upon its own indigenous and arguably much more relevant strategic, operational, and tactical agents of military change. It remains difficult to judge which is worse – that too many army PowerPoint presentations still begin by telling us that the Cold War is over, or that despite this apparent revela- tion, we should, some two decades later, still myopically cling to the ideas of a man who so conveniently provided us with the military wisdom that might have allowed NATO to win a conventional defensive land war against the Soviet Army- Bildarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz/Art Resource, NY dominated Warsaw Pact had the Cold War ‘turned hot.’ Carl von Clausewitz.

  • Lions Led by Donkeys? Brigade Commanders of the Australian Imperial Force, 1914-1918
    LIONS LED BY DONKEYS? BRIGADE COMMANDERS OF THE AUSTRALIAN IMPERIAL FORCE, 1914-1918. ASHLEIGH BROWN A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy University of New South Wales, Canberra School of Humanities and Social Sciences March 2017 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Brown First name: Ashleigh Other name/s: Rebecca Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: MPhil School: Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty: UNSW Canberra, AD FA Title: Lions led by donkeys? Brigade commanders of the Australian Imperial Force, 1914-1918. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Australian First World War historiography tends to focus on the ordinary soldier: his background, character and involvement in the war. This is a legacy left by Charles Bean who, following the history from below approach, believed in the need for soldiers’ stories to be told. On the other end of the spectrum, attention is given to political leaders and the British high command. British commanders and, by extension, other Allied commanders are too often portrayed as poor leaders who were reluctant to adapt to modern warfare, and did not demonstrate a sense of responsibility for the men under their command. The evidence shows that this perception is not accurate. A comprehensive understanding of the progression of Australian forces on the Western Front cannot be gained without investigating the progression of those in command. This thesis examines the brigade commanders of the Australian Imperial Force who held that level of command for a substantial period while on the Western Front.

  • THE PRIVATE SIDE of a PUBLIC FAMILY: the HENEKER ALBUM and DIARY Eva Major-Marothy Documentary Art and Photography Division National Archives of Canada
    THE PRIVATE SIDE OF A PUBLIC FAMILY: THE HENEKER ALBUM AND DIARY Eva Major-Marothy Documentary Art and Photography Division National Archives of Canada Richard William Heneker (1823–1912) does not need much introduction in the Eastern Townships.1 A very important figure in the nineteenth century economic development of Sherbrooke, he combined his position as commissioner for the British American Land Company, from 1855 to 1902, with various busi- ness ventures. He was President of both the Eastern Township Bank and the Paton Manufacturing Company, Mayor of Sherbrooke, Chancellor of Bishop’s University and founder and first president of the Sherbrooke Protestant Hospital. This paper, however, will look at his more private side using his diary in the Manuscript Division and the Heneker album in the Documentary Art and Photography Division of the National Archives of Canada.2 Heneker began to keep the diary when he embarked for Canada in April 1855 and recorded his impressions of the crossing, of his few days in New England, and of the first weeks in Sherbrooke. He mentioned names of several residents whom he visited, or had business dealings with which will be of interest to local historians. In the penultimate entry, on July 30, Heneker recorded making his first sketch, A View of the Lowest Falls of the Magog from the Railway Bridge. Although this particular sketch is not in the album, there are two watercolours of the Heneker residence which used to stand on Factory Street in Sherbrooke and several unidentified views, which upon closer study may turn out to be from the Townships.

  • Canadian Soldiers in West African Conflicts 1885-1905
    © 2007 Andrew B. Godefroy Canadian Soldiers in West African Conflicts 1885-1905 Andrew B. Godefroy “The Scouts were under Lieutenant [A.H.] Macdonnell, D.S.O., an excellent officer of the permanent forces of Canada.” - Lt. Col. William Heneker’s narrative of the Ibeku-Olokoro Expedition - Southern Nigeria, 19021 The history of the Canadian Army at the beginning of the twentieth century is most often defined by its operational participation in the war in South Africa. Between 1899 and 1902 Canada dispatched a few thousand soldiers to fight for British interests against Boer settlers, supporting a war that had a considerable impact on both the evolution of Canada’s fledgling army as well as Canadian politics in general. The sheer magnitude of this event in fact overshadowed just about every other British and Canadian army activity at the time, but it was by no means the only conflict in which Canadian soldiers were then engaged. In addition to helping secure the veldt of the Transvaal for Great Britain, Canada’s soldiers were also active participants in a number of other campaigns across equatorial Africa. Though much smaller in total number and often serving as part of a general frontier force instead of being organized into specific Canadian units, their presence was still both influential and at times critical for operational success in these other theatres of conflict. This article specifically examines the role played by Canadians at the turn of the century in West Africa.2 Though not intended to draw sweeping conclusions about the influence of such operations on the Canadian Army as a whole – such analysis must follow at a later time when much more contextual evidence is available – it does rediscover a largely forgotten chapter in the origins and evolution of that army, as well as raise a number of questions that obviously deserve greater attention.
