    CHANNEL ISLANDS GREAT WAR STUDY GROUP Lancashire Landing (W Beach) V Beach Ocean Beach, sweeping around towards Suvla Point The Sphinx Ari Burnu (Y Beach) from Walker’s Ridge Brighton Beach and Shell Green Cemetery The Deadly Shores – Gallipoli Today JOURNAL 28 OCTOBER 2009 Please note that Copyright for any articles contained in this Journal rests with the Authors as shown. Please contact them directly if you wish to use their material. 1 Hello All I must confess that for many months up to the time that I boarded my flight took off from Heathrow bound for Istanbul, and to travel from there to the Dardanelles, my feeling was one of considerable apprehension – was I wasting my money, would I learn and see much, would a troublesome knee hold out? Yet, wheezing my way up to Plugge’s Plateau a few days later, that feeling had long since evaporated even though I could now fully understand why the Turkish soldiers had thought that their Australian counterparts worshipped the God “Bastard”! I learnt and saw much, my money was well spent (a common Jersey consideration!), and I made it back safely, albeit in a somewhat worn out and bedraggled state. Gallipoli was a first-rate experience, and I would recommend it and the Holts’ tour company to anyone. Hopefully, I can convey that experience adequately in later pages of this Journal, but trust that I will be forgiven if I don’t, as a few days after my return, my brain is still scrambled and too full of images, impressions and information from the trip to guarantee a decent article.

  • Newfoundland's Cultural Memory of the Attack at Beaumont Hamel
    Glorious Tragedy: Newfoundland’s Cultural Memory of the Attack at Beaumont Hamel, 1916-1925 ROBERT J. HARDING THE FIRST OF JULY is a day of dual significance for Newfoundlanders. As Canada Day, it is a celebration of the dominion’s birth and development since 1867. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the day is also commemorated as the anniversary of the Newfoundland Regiment’s costliest engagement during World War I. For those who observe it, Memorial Day is a sombre occasion which recalls this war as a trag- edy for Newfoundland, symbolized by the Regiment’s slaughter at Beaumont Hamel, France, on 1 July 1916. The attack at Beaumont Hamel was depicted differently in the years immedi- ately following the war. Newfoundland was then a dominion, Canada was an impe- rial sister, and politicians, clergymen, and newspaper editors offered Newfoundlanders a cultural memory of the conflict that was built upon a trium- phant image of Beaumont Hamel. Newfoundland’s war myth exhibited selectively romantic tendencies similar to those first noted by Paul Fussell in The Great War and Modern Memory.1 Jonathan Vance has since observed that Canadians also de- veloped a cultural memory which “gave short shrift to the failures and disappoint- ments of the war.”2 Numerous scholars have identified cultural memory as a dynamic social mechanism used by a society to remember an experience common to all its members, and to aid that society in defining and justifying itself.3 Beau- mont Hamel served as such a mechanism between 1916 and 1925. By constructing a triumphant memory based upon selectivity, optimism, and conjured romanticism, local mythmakers hoped to offer grieving and bereaved Newfoundlanders an in- spiring and noble message which rationalized their losses.

    The Armstrong Photographs P6A Part I Albums Loose Prints University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The Armstrong Photographs Reference Code: IE 2135 P6 A Title: The Armstrong Photographs Dates of Creation: 1867-1981 Level of Description: Fonds Extent and Medium: 85 boxes (2147 files) CONTEXT Name of Creator(s): The Armstrong family of Moyaliffe Castle, county Tipperary, and the related families of Maude of Lenaghan, county Fermanagh; Everard of Ratcliffe Hall, Leicestershire; Kemmis of Ballinacor, county Wicklow; Russell of Broadmead Manor, Kent; and others. Biographical History: Captain Marcus Beresford Armstrong (1859-1923) was the eldest child and only son William Armstrong (1826-1889) of Ballydavid, county Waterford, by his wife Catherine Clark. He served in the 8th Brigade of the Northern Irish Division of the Royal Artillery and, in 1889, succeeded to the Moyaliffe estate following the death of his uncle, Captain Edward Marcus Armstrong. The year before his succession, he had married Rosalie Maude (1868-1956), second daughter of Maurice Ceely Maude (1820- 1904) of Lenaghan Park, Enniskillen, county Fermanagh. Rosalie’s paternal grandfather, the Reverend John Charles Maude (1792-1860), rector of Enniskillen, was the fifth son of Cornwallis Maude, first Viscount Hawarden (1729-1803), of Dundrum, County Tipperary, from his marriage to his third wife, Anne Isabella Monck, sister of first Viscount Monck. Captain Marcus and Rosalie Armstrong had four children. The eldest, William Maurice Armstrong (b. 1889), known in his childhood and early youth as Maurice and later as Pat, followed the distinguished military tradition of his family, rising to the rank of Captain in the Tenth Royal Hussars (the Prince of Wales’s Own).

  • 1 Private Harry (Also Recorded As Henry) Luff (Regimental Number 3742) Is Buried in Terlincthun British Cemetery, Wimille: Grave
    Private Harry (also recorded as Henry) Luff (Regimental Number 3742) is buried in Terlincthun British Cemetery, Wimille: Grave reference, IV. E. 27.. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a fisherman, Harry Luff was a volunteer of the Fifteenth Recruitment Draft. He presented himself for medical examination on May 8, 1917, at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury* in St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland. It was a procedure which was to pronounce him as…Fit for Foreign Service. (continued) 1 *The building was to serve as the Regimental Headquarters in Newfoundland for the duration of the conflict. It was to be on the day of that medical assessment, May 8, and at the same venue, that Harry Luff would enlist. He was thus engaged…for the duration of the war*…at the daily private soldier’s rate of a single dollar to which was to be appended 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. As the War progressed, however, this was obviously going to cause problems and the men were encouraged to re-enlist. Later recruits – as of or about May of 1916 - signed on for the ‘Duration’ at the time of their original enlistment. Only some few hours were now to follow before there then came to pass, while still at the CLB Armoury on Harvey Road, the final formality of his enlistment: attestation.
