    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19480-8 - Armies of Empire: The 9th Australian and 50th British Divisions in Battle 1939-1945 Allan Converse Frontmatter More information Armies of Empire The 9th Australian and 50th British Divisions in Battle 1939–1945 Armies of Empire uniquely reflects upon the experience of two divisions from different armies facing similar challenges in the Second World War. The 9th Australian Division and the British 50th (Northumbrian) Division both saw long service and suffered heavy casualties, and both encountered morale, discipline and battlefield effectiveness problems. In this illuminating, comparative study of Australian and British divisions at war, Allan Converse draws extensively on primary sources as well as recent scholarship on morale and combat efficiency. His fresh approach questions the popular mythology surrounding the Australian Digger and the British Tommy, and shows how it was a combination of leadership, loyalty and tactics, rather than intrinsic national qualities, which resulted in victory for Churchill’s armies.

    Southern Rhodesia’s commitment to the First World War The publications below were used as sources in order to compile for the first time a definitive record of the number of Southern Rhodesians who served during WWI. Prior to this there has been no single definitive list, as these various sources are generally regiment or race specific. Total blacks during WWI 2700 Total whites during WWI 6115 Grand Total: 8815 A rounded figure of 9,000 would be reasonable to quote. Over 800 Rhodesians of all races lost their lives on operational service. These figures were compiled from the following sources: McLaughlin, P. Ragtime Soldiers, (Books of Zimbabwe, 1980): 1st Rhodesia Regiment: 500 2nd Rhodesia Regiment: 1038 African Scouts, Drivers att. 2RR: 30 1st & 2nd Rhodesia Native Regiment : 2360 A&B British South Africa Police Service Companies (known as Southern Rhodesia or Murray's Column) 100 [this is too low] Total blacks during WWI 2700 Total whites during WWI 5716 Grand Total: 8416 Capell, Lt-Col. A.E. The 2nd Rhodesia Regiment in East Africa (Naval and Military Press, 2008): 2nd Rhodesia Regiment: 1038 (36 officers and 1002 rank and file) Gibbs, P., & Phillips, H: The History of the British South Africa Police 1889-1980 (Something of Value, 2000): A & B Service Companies, BSAP: 500 (Southern Rhodesia or Murray's Column) Binda, A.
