  • A Heavy Brigade Charger?
    A HEAVY BRIGADE CHARGER? BARNEY 51ATTINGLY ordered to provide volunteers for service with the 5th Dragoon Guards. Lemmon (alias Topham) was one of 15 volunteers from the 7th who were selected, transferring to the 5th Dragoon Guards (regimental number 1237) on April 1, 1854. The 5th Dragoon Guards left Queenstown on the 27th of May with a strength of 19 officers, 295 other ranks, and 295 horses. His 1870 officer’s papers confirm that Lemmon departed with his regiment. The regiment’s commanding officer, the Hon. James Scarlett, was selected to command the Heavy Brigade while the regiment’s Major was selected to command the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone. Consequently, the 5th Dragoon Guards began their Crimea campaign without their two most senior officers. Major T. le Marchant, late 7th Dragoon Guards, was appointed commanding officer but this choice turned out to be unpopular and no one was disappointed to see him leave when his health broke down in August. However, this left the regiment without a field officer and command devolved to Captain A.V.D. Burton. Lack of an experienced commanding officer and illness was to cause the regiment much difficulty early in the campaign. The 5th Dragoon Guards arrived in Varna on June 12th and settled into camp at Devna. Cholera broke out on about the 20th of July and the 5th Dragoon Guards Figure 1: William Denis Lemmon. suffered heavily, with several dozen men succumbing to the disease. This gave Lemmon his first chance for William Denis Lemmon (Figure 1) was born on advancement and, according to the muster rolls, he was September 8, 1833 and enlisted in the 7th (Princess promoted to Corporal on August 13, 1854.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

  • Service Lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force
    SOCIAL SCIENCES COLLECTION GUIDES OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS www.bl.uk/subjects/national-and-international-government-publications Service lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force INTRODUCTION This guide is the result of merging two separate checklists. The checklist of Army Lists (British Army lists 1642- : a chronological handlist) is undated and without attribution of authorship. It is believed to have been compiled around 1980 as a collaborative effort by the staff at that time of what was then the Official Publications Library (OPL) of the British Library; the identity of the actual compiler is unknown. The checklist of Navy Lists (Navy lists : a chronological handlist of lists of ships and officers of the Royal Navy since ca 1640) is better documented. It was compiled in 1986 by Joy Tilley, a graduate library trainee, as a project for her work experience training under the supervision of Richard Cheffins who edited the result. No attempt has been made to further edit the original checklists except to update a few pressmarks, to clarify some minor points of uncertainty, to expand somewhat on the current Army and Navy lists and to add a section on Air Force lists. The item numbering of Army Lists has been discontinued but otherwise the inconsistencies of style and layout between, and even within, the two main lists have been left to stand but these should not hinder the use of this guide. The original Navy checklist had a brief introduction which has been incorporated into this one; the Army checklist had none. Both had brief 'further reading' lists which have been combined as the penultimate section of this guide.

  • British Military Recruitment in Ireland During the Crimean War, 1854-56
    British Journal for Military History, Volume 2, Issue 1, November 2015 British Military Recruitment in Ireland during the Crimean War, 1854-56 PAUL HUDDIE University of West London Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ireland has a diverse military historiography, principally within the confines of the British Army. Much has been written to date in relation to Ireland’s relationship with that service, particularly in recent years and with a focus upon the Great War. Yet significant gaps still remain in relation to the nineteenth century. By analysing the relationship between Irish society and the British Armed Forces, through the lens of recruitment, this article illustrates how and why the Crimean War years represent the positive pinnacle of Ireland’s relationship with the empire and the British Army and Royal Navy. As Tom Bartlett and Keith Jeffery highlighted in A Military History of Ireland, the island of Ireland has a diverse military historiography, yet even today substantial gaps exist which serve to limit the wider understanding of Irish society’s and Irish individuals’ interactions with the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom and British Empire.1 Even though substantial focus has to date been given to the Irish interactions with the British Army, especially in the early twentieth century and principally during the Great War, comparatively little has been done in relation to the nineteenth century.2 No effort has been made to investigate the Napoleonic Wars in the same way that Bartlett and Jeffery have done for the Irish soldier in general and there is only minimal concern to place the Crimean War within its wider ‘social and political contexts’.3 Even the Boer War remains neglected with Donal McCracken’s important works being focused on nationalism.4 In Britain, and in relation to the Crimean War, Myna Trustrum, Helen Rappaport, Olive Anderson, H.J.

  • Lothians and Border Yeomanry) Squadron, the Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry
    THE HISTORY OF E (LOTHIANS AND BORDER YEOMANRY) SQUADRON, THE SCOTTISH AND NORTH IRISH YEOMANRY The full title of E Squadron is E (Lothians and Border Yeomanry) Squadron, The Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry. This title reflects the complicated history of the Sqn. This brief history is intended give an overview of the many tasks that this Sqn has been asked to do over the years. The other Sqns in The SNIY have equally varied histories and have had to prove just as adaptable. The Sqns of the SNIY are:- A (Ayrshire (Earl of Carrick’s Own) Yeomanry) Squadron, based in Ayr. B (North Irish Horse) Squadron, based in Belfast. C (Fife & Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse) Squadron, based in Cupar, Fife. E (Lothians and Border Yeomanry) Squadron, based in Edinburgh. Regimental Headquarters is co-located with E Sqn at Redford Infantry Barracks in Edinburgh. E Sqn’s battle honours are recorded as in the photograph of the Regimental Standard, held in the HQ, Younger House. The Sqn’s predecessors most notably served in the Boer War and the First and Second World Wars. A memorial to the Lothians and Borders men who fell in the Boer War is located outside Dunbar Parish Church in East Lothian (in which the Regimental Standard is laid up); Dunbar is regarded as the historical home of the Sqn, having been home to the L&BH/Y through the late 19th and the early 20th Centuries. Today, this connection and that with the county town of East Lothian, is recognised through the naming of ‘Dunbar’ and ‘Haddington’ Troops and the SNIY ACF detachments.
