Accountants in the First World War Arranged by surname September 2016 © ICAEW Library and Information Service This index has been developed by the ICAEW Library & Information Service to help genealogists who are tracing their family history to find out more about ancestors who were accountants. It also provides tools to help researchers trying to find out more about the history of accountancy firms through the individuals associated with those firms. This index lists individuals who served during the First World War and were mentioned in reports published in the accountancy press. This includes reports on accountants, their staff and close relatives who were wounded, killed in action, mentioned in despatches, awarded medals or taken prisoner. The index was first published by the ICAEW Library & Information Service in January 2007 and will continue to be updated in the coming years. Sources The index was created by LIS staff who volunteered their time to index the entries from a number of journals within the collection of the ICAEW Library & Information Service. The sources used to compile the current edition were: • The Accountant • The Accountants' Magazine • Associated Accountants' Journal • Financial Circular • Incorporated Accountants' Journal Page numbers in the index refer to the bound copies held by the ICAEW Library & Information Service and may differ from the collections of other Libraries. How do I obtain a copy of an entry? The ICAEW Library & Information Service provides a photocopying and fax service and photocopies can be supplied by post or fax. Entries are free for ICAEW members and permitted users, but for all other users a charge of £5 plus VAT applies (per entry).

  • The Original BAOR Divisions Closed Down

    The Original BAOR Divisions Closed Down

    The Original British Army of the Rhine Richard A. Rinaldi © 2006 The first British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) was created in March 1919 to control troops in the British occupation zone along the Rhine. The Armistice that went into effect on 11 November 1918 provided for British, French and American troops to occupy bridgeheads across the Rhine River. The new army had five corps, each of two divisions, and a cavalry division. Regular units (other than cavalry) were largely withdrawn from BAOR divisions as they formed, with few remaining even to May 1919. While some New Armies and TF battalions survived as part of BAOR, the divisions were reinforced or continued with a large number of former training battalions. See Note 1 at the end for a discussion of the sources and conventions adopted for this material. It is quite likely that details of artillery in particular are incomplete. Where a division retained its former brigade numbers, it may be presumed that the wartime battalions were gone in or before March 1919, and they appear only where they remained at least to April 1919. See Note 2 for a discussion of the ‘50-series’ battalions. BAOR began organized as follows: II Corps Light Division (formed from 2nd Division) Southern Division (formed from 29th Division) IV Corps Lowland Division (formed from 9th Division) Highland Division (formed from 62nd Division) VI Corps Northern Division (formed from 3rd Division) London Division (formed from 41st Division) IX Corps Western Division (formed from 1st Division) Midland Division (formed from 6th Division) X Corps Lancashire Division (formed from 32nd Division) Eastern Division (formed from 34th Division) Cavalry Division (formed from 1st Cavalry Division) This force began to contract only five months later, with four divisions (Highland, Western, Midland and Eastern) and three corps (IV, VI and IX) closing down by the end of August.

    The Glasgow Academy WW1 Roll of Honour From the onset of the First World War in 1914 until 1918, the Glasgow Academy suffered a great many losses during the conflict. In fact, it is believed there was a higher number of losses incurred when compared to other independent schools of the time. The following is a list of the former pupils who were casualties and as far as we have been able to, includes information and photographs to tell the stories of these men. In some case, we have little or no information about some of these individuals, so please get in touch if you have anything which could help us fill in the gaps and help us tell their stories.

    “Expect to like this great as it may be exciting.” The War Diary of Sapper John Popham Fotheringham June 1917 - January 1919 June 2009 Sapper John Popham Fotheringham served as a driver with the 9th Canadian Artillery Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery in France and Belgium from June 1917 to January 1919. His diary, on its own, is not particularly detailed, except in certain small parts. However, when meshed with the War Diary of the Brigade, and the history of the Canadian Army in action in World War 1, it becomes evident that Sapper Fotheringham was involved in some of the biggest battles of the latter stages of the war - Amiens, Cambrai, Arras - only missing Passchendaele as he recovered from exposure to mustard gas in September 1917. John Popham Fotheringham was born in Ottawa on May 19th, 1897 to John Turnbull Fotheringham and Mary Popham Fotheringham. His sister, Laura, was born two years later. His uncle, George Beveridge Fotheringham (father of cousin Lieutenant John Beveridge Fotheringham) served with the Ottawa Field Battery during the Fenian Raid of 1866. J.P. Fotheringham studied Applied Science at McGill University in 1915 to 1916, serving in the cadet corps with CCTC McGill. On August 24th, 1916, at Ottawa, he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force as a Sapper (Private) with the Canadian Engineers, being posted to the 3rd Canadian Divisional Signal Company. Following training, he left Canada on January 16th, 1917 on the RMS Scandinavian, arriving in England on February 6th. He arrived in Le Havre, France, on May 24th, 1917. He marched from the Divisional Rest Camp and joined the 3rd Canadian Divisional Company on June 9th, 1917.

The building is one of the largest peace memorials of our time and was built in honour of every Freemason who fell in WWI. The ceremony is not only part of the celebrations to mark this year's 300th anniversary of The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE), but also looks ahead to the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1 in 2018. The Victoria Cross is the highest award within the UK honours system that recognises ‘conspicuous bravery in the presence of the enemy’. It can be awarded to anyone serving with the Armed Forces with no distinction of rank or class, a value shared by Freemasons who come from all backgrounds and walks of life.
