SARAJEVO (A SERB FOLKSONG) Sarajevo, whence comes thy gloom? Tell me, has fire consumed thee? Or has the flood engulfed thy streets? Or has the plague laid hold on thee? Softly Sarajevo gives answer: " Had fire consumed me so sore, My shining courts would rise again. Had the fierce flood engulfed my streets, My markets would be cleansed and fresh. But plague has laid her murderous hand, Her murderous hand on young and old, And those I love has torn apart." PREFACE MUCH has been written on the immediate origins of the Great War and the complicated diplomatic conflict which preceded actual hostilities; but till very recently the Balkan aspect of the question has not received the attention which it deserves. The two most authoritative surveys in English — Mr. Headlam-Morley's The History of Twelve Days (1915) and Sir Charles Oman's The Outbreak of the War (1918) — are now both out of date, owing to the subsequent publication of the German and Austrian diplomatic documents, and of much supple- mentary material of a less official character. Thus there is great need of a book summarising all the latest evidence on a question which is of burning importance in the Europe of to-day.

Whenever my memory has failed me I have drawn on the recollections of others or sought information from extant records. Seven decades have passed since the General Election of 1945 and there are few people now living with personal recollections of candidates who fought so long ago. I have drawn heavily upon recollections of conversations with older Liberal personalities in the West Midland Region who I knew in my early days with the party. I was conscious when I began work, twenty years ago, that much of this information would be lost forever were it not committed promptly to print. The Liberal challenge was weak in the West Midland Region over the period 1945 to 1959 in common with most regions of Britain. The number of constituencies fought fluctuated wildly; 1945, 21; 1950, 31; 1951, 3; 1955 4. The number of parliamentary constituencies in the region averaged just short of 60, a very large proportion urban in character.

  • 'A Proved and Loyal Friendship': the Diary of W. Llewelyn Williams MP
    ‘A PROVED AND LOYAL FRIENDSHIP’: THE DIARY OF W. LLEWELYN WILLIAMS MP, 1906-15 William Llewelyn Williams (1867-1922) was a native of Brownhill, Llansadwrn in the Towy valley, born into a family of notable Independents. 1 Two of Williams’s uncles were prominent Welsh Congregational ministers. He was privately educated at Llandovery College and, the holder of a highly prestigious open scholarship, at Brazenose College, Oxford, where he graduated in history and was one of the founders of the patriotic Oxford Welsh society Cymdeithas Dafydd ap Gwilym . There were expectations at this early stage in his career that he might well enter the established church, but Williams’s true interests clearly lay in other directions, and in 1889-90 he spent a short stint as a schoolteacher at Canterbury. In March 1891 he was then appointed the first editor of the Barry based South Wales Star . He then moved on to edit the Swansea based South Wales Post , and in June 1894 he accepted a new position as assistant editor of the highly influential Cardiff newspaper the South Wales Daily News , a pillar of the Liberal cause. During these heady, exciting years Williams was a warm supporter of the Cymru Fydd movement, and it was he who was primarily responsible for the establishment of its first branch on Welsh soil, established at Barry in 1891. He was to be elected its first chairman in the following February. Williams was also an avid supporter of the early political career of David Lloyd George, soon to be elected the Liberal MP for the highly marginal Caernarfon Boroughs constituency in a by-election in April 1890.
