  • The Colours Part 1: the Regular Battalions
    The Colours Part 1: The Regular Battalions By Lieutenant General J. P. Riley CB DSO PhD MA FRHistS 1. The Earliest Days At the time of the raising of Lord Herbert’s Regiment in March 1689,i it was usual for a regiment of foot to hold ten Colours. This number corre- sponded to the number of companies in the regiment and to the officers who commanded these companies although the initial establishment of Herbert’s Regiment was only eight companies. We have no record of the issue of any Colours to Herbert’s Regiment – and probably the Colo- nel paid for their manufacture himself as he did for much of the dress and equipment of his regiment. What we do know however is that each Colour was the rallying point for the company in battle and the symbol of its esprit. Colours were large – generally six feet square although no regulation on size yet existed – so that they could easily be seen in the smoke of a 17th Century battlefield for we must remember that before the days of smokeless powder, obscuration was a major factor in battle. So too was the ability of a company to keep its cohesion, deliver effec- tive fire and change formation rapidly either to attack, defend, or repel cavalry. A company was made up of anywhere between sixty and 100 men, with three officers and a varying number of sergeants, corporals and drummers depending on the actual strength. About one-third of the men by this time were armed with the pike, two-thirds with the match- lock musket.

It is designed as an e-book which has several advantages over a conventional hard-back.

  • 1 Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521848008 - Citizen Soldiers: The Liverpool Territorials in the First World War Helen B. McCartney Excerpt More information 1 Introduction The First World War drew ordinary British men into an army that by 1918 numbered over 5 million soldiers.1 Some had volunteered to serve; others had been less willing and were conscripted later in the war. Most had little contact with the military in pre-war days, and before 1914 few would have contemplated participating in war. These men were first and foremost civilians, and this book examines their experience from their initial decision to enlist, through trench warfare on the Western Front, to death, discharge or demobilization at the end of the war. It is concerned with the soldier’s relationship both with the army and with home, and examines the extent to which these citizen soldiers maintained their civilian values, attitudes, skills and traditions and applied them to the task of soldiering in the period of the First World War. The popular image of the British soldier in the First World War is that of a passive victim of the war in general and the military system in particular. On joining the army a soldier supposedly ceased to act as an individual and lost his ability to shape his world. It is an image that has been reinforced by two historiographical traditions and is largely derived from a narrow view of the British soldier presented by the self-selecting literary veterans who wrote the disillusionment literature of the late 1920s and 1930s.2 For some historians, the characteristics of the British ‘Tommy’ have become synonymous with the qualities of the regular pre-war private soldier.

  • Tour of Malaya 1954 to 1957
    1st Battalion The Queen fs Royal Regiment The Last Operational Tour: Malaya 1954 –1957 In June 1948 the Malayan Communist Party commenced a guerilla war to end British rule in Malaya (since incorporated in Malaysia), and the Colonial Government declared a ' State of Emergency '. Operating from the jungle and supported by some members of the Chinese community living mainly in squatter camps, the Communist terrorists or 'CTs' as they were known, carried out ambushes and assassinations, attacked Police Stations, road & rail communications, tin mines, and plantations usually termed 'estates'. British and Commonwealth Armed Forces together with the Malayan Police responded with ever increasing effectiveness, and in a campaign lasting twelve years, progressively defeated the terrorists, and in 1960 the 'Emergency' ended.

  • Is the Territorial Force a Sham?’ Were the Territorials a Militarily Capable Organisation Prior to the Great War, 1908-1914?: Are There Lessons to Be Learnt?
    ‘IS THE TERRITORIAL FORCE A SHAM?’ WERE THE TERRITORIALS A MILITARILY CAPABLE ORGANISATION PRIOR TO THE GREAT WAR, 1908-1914?: ARE THERE LESSONS TO BE LEARNT? Shaun Allan University of Hull The Territorial Force (TF - forerunner of the Territorial Army) before the Great War had a reputation for being a poorly trained, poorly led and inefficient organisation.1 Colonel Sir Mark Sykes, Commanding Officer (CO) of the 5th Battalion The Green Howards (TF) claimed that the ‘Territorial Army with its incomplete battalions, poor physique, lack of training, lack of material and lack of equipment, cannot be at present dignified with the name of an Army.’2 This criticism was made in 1908, shortly after the TF had formed replacing the expensive and poorly functioning Militia, Yeomanry (cavalry) and Volunteers. However, criticism of its poor training and poor equipment continued up until the outbreak of war and was disseminated through the journals and newspapers of the time especially by the National Service League (NSL – a pro-conscriptionist organisation) who saw the TF as a block to their progress.3 There was a real groundswell of anti-TF rhetoric during this period which criticized the organisations training methods as well as their purpose. Added to this was a strong bias towards citizen-soldiers from the public and professional soldiers alike, present ever since there have been professional and amateur soldiers working side by side, which presented itself, in the Territorials case, as either outright hostility or as satire subtle or otherwise.4 It could be said that the campaign by the NSL against the TF has clouded the way reservist soldiers are perceived right-up to the present day.
