  • United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922
    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

Cundy © 2015 Abstract This dissertation examines the British naval blockade imposed on Imperial Germany between the outbreak of war in August 1914 and the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles in July 1919. The blockade has received modest attention in the historiography of the First World War, despite the assertion in the British official history that extreme privation and hunger resulted in more than 750,000 German civilian deaths.

HARVARD C OLLEGE LIBRARY t ✓ -t-O t ^ —fro/I- .- f [•RES8F O CA8B, TIFrANY AND COMPANY, HARTFORD, CONN. PREFACE. The f ollowing pages contain a selection from the Gene alogical Notes made by my uncle, Nathaniel Goodwin, from time to time after his appointment to the office of Judge of Probate for the district of Hartford, in 1833, and prepared for publication by him during the last three or four of the latter years of his life. They were not designed by him to be complete genealogies even of the families which * are t reated of, but, as the title indicates, genealogical notes to assist others in tracing out their family histories. Mr. Goodwin had begun to print the work, making his final cor rections as the proof-sheets were brought to him, and had proceeded as far as page 68, when the printing was suspend ed, as he hoped temporarily, by a severe attack of disease, but as the event proved, finally, so far as he was concerned, by his death. At his request, made a few days before his death, and the desire of his executors, the manuscripts were placed in the hands of Henry Barnard, LL. D., President of the Connecticut Historical Society, who had rendered my uncle similar aid in his former publications, to see through the press ; but the pressure of his engagements obliged him, after the supervision of some fifty pages, to relinquish all further care of the work, beyond preparing a iv P REFACE.

In the Asia- Pacific region there has been signi fic ant expansion of sea- based eco nom ies together with burgeoning naval power.

A central theme is the Chinese challenge to long- term Western maritime ascendency and what might be the con sequences of this. In order to situate current and future de velopments this book includes chapters which ana lyse what sea power means and has meant, as well as its role, both historic and con tempor ary, in the rise and fall of great powers.

  • SIR DUDLEY DE CHAIR Memoirs , C. 1955
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR DUDLEY DE CHAIR Memoirs , c. 1955 Reel M716 Commander H.G.D. de Chair Maintop Felden Lane Boxmoor, Hertfordshire National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1969 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Dudley Rawson Stratford de Chair (1864-1958) was born in Lennoxville, Canada. His uncle, Admiral Sir Harry Rawson, was Governor of New South Wales in 1902-9. De Chair’s family returned to England in 1870 and in 1878 he joined the Royal Navy, becoming a midshipman in 1880. He was promoted to commander in 1897, captain in 1902 and rear admiral in 1912. De Chair married Enid Struben in 1903. In 1915-16 he was commander of the tenth cruiser squadron, which was responsible for the North Sea blockade of Germany. He was knighted in 1916 and promoted to vice admiral in 1917. In 1918 he took command of the coastguard and reserves. He became an admiral in 1920. De Chair was appointed Governor of New South Wales in October 1923 and he and Lady de Chair arrived in Sydney in February 1924. He faced considerable political difficulties following the election in May 1825 of a Labor Government led by J.T. Lang. Lang’s attempts to appoint 25 new members to the Legislative Council, with the ultimate aim of abolishing the Council, were foiled by de Chair, leading to calls from Government supporters for his recall. The tensions between Premier and Governor ended when the Lang Government was defeated at the election in October 1927. The rest of the governorship was mostly uneventful.

  • 1 Second Lieutenant Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp (Regimental Number
    Second Lieutenant Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp (Regimental Number 157), having no known last resting-place, is commemorated on the bronze beneath the Caribou in the Newfoundland Memorial Park at Beaumont-Hamel. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a dry-goods clerk working for G. Knowling, Importers and General Merchants of Water Street and Duckworth Street, and earning a monthly fifty-eight dollars and thirty-four cents*, Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp was a recruit of the First Draft. *In the 1911 Census for England he was documented as a Warehouseman working for a wholesale merchant in the city of Manchester. He presented himself at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury* in St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland for a medical examination on August 31 of 1914. It was a procedure which would pronounce him as…Fit for Foreign Service. *The building was to serve as the Regimental Headquarters in Newfoundland for the duration of the conflict. When exactly it was that Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp was to enlist is not clear as three different dates are to be found in his papers: August 26, August 31 and September 5, the day on which his brother, Leonard John…joined-up. However, whenever it may have been – the venue would have been the same CLB Armoury – he was engaged…but for only a year’s service*…at the daily private soldier’s rate of a single dollar to which would then be added a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. *At the outset of the War, perhaps because it was felt by the authorities that it would be a conflict of short duration, the recruits enlisted for only a single year.

This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University Signed: 1 This thesis is dedicated to Miss Macaulay, an inspirational teacher and head of history at Dorking County Grammar School. When I gave up the study of history to pursue a medical career, she told me that she ‘could have made a historian’ of me. I could not have completed this thesis without the help, direction and guidance of my supervisor, Dr Michael Duffy and my tutor Dr Maria Fusaro. Dr Duffy in particular has always had a very gentle, but firm hand on the tiller; he has been a truly outstanding pilot and helmsman. I am also extremely grateful for the assistance of Dr Trevor Preist, Dr Alan Wall and Dr Shaun Kilminster for specialist advice on physics, navigation and statistics respectively. I also thank for their unstinting support and assistance the various and many librarians I have consulted. In particular, Miss Jenny Wraight and the other staff of the Admiralty Historical Branch and Library, but also all the staff at the National Archive; between them they epitomise what public service should be.
