N the compilation of Part II. of the Memoirs of Hydrography, the endeavour has been to give the services of the many excellent surveying I officers of the late Indian Navy, equal prominence with those of the Royal Navy. Except in the geographical abridgment, under the heading of “ Progress of Martne Surveys” attached to the Memoirs of the various Hydrographers, the personal services of officers still on the Active List, and employed in the surveying service of the Royal Navy, have not been alluded to ; thereby the lines of official etiquette will not have been over-stepped.

The British in Corsica from the Mid- Nineteenth Century to the Eve of the Second World War
From Battleground to Playground: The British in Corsica from the Mid- Nineteenth Century to the Eve of the Second World War. Submitted by Elizabeth Constance Raikes to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History January, 2019. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis 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. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to the late Professor Colin Platt (1934-2015), and those who go on being inspired by him and take heart from his encouragement. Without Colin Platt, this thesis would never have begun. Without the support of those in the present it would not have been completed. Thanks are due to my supervisor Professor Andrew Thompson for his thoroughness and insightful comments that have sharpened and focussed this work. Staffs at the University of Exeter Library, the British Library, the National Archives, the London Metropolitan Archives, City of London and the Archives Départementales La Corse du Sud have been particularly helpful at guiding me through the various systems, processes and care of resources to enable this thesis to benefit from a rich variety of sources. They are largely an unsung body of people but vital to researchers. Finally, I have taken advantage of the good nature of my husband, Graham, for proof reading numerous drafts and for accompanying me on our research visits to Corsica, although exploring Ajaccio whilst I spent hours in the archives was no great hardship. -

All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 251 – SEPTEMBER 2015 EDITORIAL I’m still getting to grips with Windows 8, so I will not be upgrading to Windows 10 for ages yet. The jury is still out on whether Windows 10 is an improvement. The few comments that have come my way so far are non-committal. Welcome to new Members, Roger Bell-West, Rupert Cullum and Gordon Smith. Norman Bell ooooooooooooooOoooooooooooooo Monitor HMS M53 at the Historic Dockyard, Portsmouth is now open to the public after an expensive refurbishment. (£1.79 Million) HMS M.33 is not only the sole remaining British veteran of the bloody Dardanelles Campaign of 1915-1916, but also of the Russian Civil War which followed. The ship is one of just three British warships from World War I still in existence. HMS M.33 was built in 1915 on the orders of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. She was a floating gun platform designed to bombard coastal positions from the sea. Her first active operation was the support of the landings at Suvla during the Battle of Gallipoli in August 1915. She remained stationed at Gallipoli until the evacuation in January 1916. She served in the Mediterranean for the remainder of the War and was involved in the seizure of the Greek fleet at Salamis Bay in 1916. After the War, M.33 was sent to Murmansk in Russia to relieve the North Russian Expeditionary Force before returning to Portsmouth to become a mine-laying training ship. She was renamed HMS Minerva. -
