Fettes College Fettes College Roll of Honour World War One (This version of the Fettes College Roll of Honour was digitised by © Alistair McEwen of the ‘Scotland’s War’ Project) Abbreviations S =Schoolhouse. C = Carrington. K = Kimmerghame. G = Glencorse. M = Moredun. Names to which an asterisk is affixed are those of father and son. All having the same surname with the same figure affixed are brothers. Heavy type, followed by italics, is used to distinguish the killed. Editing of the Schedules to secure absolute uniformity has not been attempted. It will be found that some O.F.s have given details which others might have given but thought unnecessary. In a few cases, to economise space, superfluous details have been struck out. The abbreviations to denote names of Regiments, Medals, and Orders are those in common use. Figures in brackets after 'Wounded' or 'M. in D.' (Mentioned in Despatches) denote the number of times wounded or mentioned. Summary of Casualties and Honours Total number serving, 1094. Belgium Killed in Action, 172. Croix de Guerre, 7.

    The History of 119 Infantry Brigade in the Great War with Special Reference to the Command of Brigadier-General Frank Percy Crozier by Michael Anthony Taylor A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract 119 Brigade, 40th Division, had an unusual origin as a ‘left-over’ brigade of the Welsh Army Corps and was the only completely bantam formation outside 35th Division. This study investigates the formation’s national identity and demonstrates that it was indeed strongly ‘Welsh’ in more than name until 1918. New data on the social background of men and officers is added to that generated by earlier studies. The examination of the brigade’s actions on the Western Front challenges the widely held belief that there was an inherent problem with this and other bantam formations. The original make-up of the brigade is compared with its later forms when new and less efficient units were introduced.

  • Salmon Chronicles
    SALMON CHRONICLES BY H. J. D. SALMON PRIVATELY PRINTED SALMON CHRONICLES has been designed and printed by John Gartner at The Hawthorn Press in an edition limited to 100 copies and the type distributed. Preface These Chronicles, re-written from my original notes, are arranged as far as I could do so, showing each man in the county in which he or his ancestors resided or held land. Many of the records are vague and useless, but were copied when found in case further particulars might afterwards be discovered. The number of different variants of the name is very re­ markable, but it is very doubtful whether many that have been included herein are related at all. When surnames were first used and for many years after­ wards the spelling of the names was certainly not regarded as a matter of vital importance, and one frequently finds the same man's name spelt in many different ways, and brothers with their surnames spelt differently ; as in the case of Robert Selyman (Seleman) KT of Wilts, Dorset etc. (CA1297-1350) and Roger Saloman (Saleman) KT of Surrey and Sussex (died 1343). Later the sons of both these men often appear in the State Records with their names spelt in various ways, but ultimately almost always Salman or Salmon. Patent rolls of September 1379 and February 1381 provide "protection for one year for Roger Selyman alias Sele man alias Selman, going to Ireland on the King's Service." Showing clearly that the name might be spelt in various ways. These Chronicles have been collected over a long period.

  • Marteine Kemes Arundel Lloyd of the Grenadier Guards, 1891-1916
    1 SAVED BY A CAT: MARTEINE KEMES ARUNDEL LLOYD OF THE GRENADIER GUARDS, 1891-1916 Synopsis Animals have always played an important role in war, from Hannibal’s elephants to horses, dogs and pigeons in twentieth-century wars. That role has now been recognized with the unveiling of the Annimals in War Memorial at Hyde Park in 2004. Cats, however, are not normally seen as useful for armies or navies, except perhaps for ridding ships and trenches of rats (as was the case with Simon, winner of the PDSA Dickin Medal for ratting while wounded on HMS Ammethyst in 1949). In December 1914, however, following the fierce battle between the British and German armies around Ypres, one cat received considerable publicity, for he had apparently saved the life of a British officer. This paper examines that event in the context of the life of the officer he supposedly saved. The Lloyds of Bronwydd The small British army that entered the war in August 1914 had an officer corps with a distinctly privileged background. Although many officers, such as Douglas Haig, came from wealthy business and commercial backgrounds or from the professional classees, the army was still seen as a suitable career for scions of aristocratic and gentry families.1 For some families, army service had long been trraditional, with at least one, usually a younger, son entering the army every ggeneration. This was the case with the Lloyd family of Bronwydd in Cardiganshire, Wales. Marteine Kemes Arundel Lloyd was following a family tradition of military service stretching back at least a hundred years when he was commissioned into the Grenadier Guards in 1909.

  • A Welsh Response to the Great War: the 38Th (Welsh) Division on The
    A Welsh Response to the Great War: The 38th (Welsh) Division on the Western Front 1914 – 1919 Peter Robinson Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Master of Philosophy Cardiff University 2017 1 Abstract The story of how ‘Lloyd George’s Army’ became a well-respected Welsh Division is the starting point of this work. As the Great War progressed the division became better known for its military effectiveness rather than its political association. It should be seen as a Welsh Division, representing Wales, and its people, united with other small nations, in the fight for ‘civilisation’. By the end of the war, it did represent the martial spirit of Welsh heroes of the past and not one man. This thesis aims to explore the demands of modern trench warfare made on the men of the Welsh Division who rose to the challenges they were confronted with. This research will probe the role of the senior commanders as well as the middle and junior ranking officers concerned. Although the focus revolves around the battles which were a major feature of the war on the Western Front, it will also put into place the men who were present during these events. In nearly all cases, they were very much men of the New Armies, and in the Welsh case, they were very much part of the society they came from. Through their attestation forms the evidence reveals most of these men who came forward to join the Welsh Division as junior officers were, in the main, the products of the Welsh universities and grammar schools.
