Book excerpt: Two previously unknown factors ensured that the Great War s disastrous effects were evenly spread throughout the land: the introduction of conscription and the gradual onset of war by attrition. If the old, professional, regular army was shattered at Ypres and the willing volunteers of Kitchener s new armies destroyed on the Somme, it was these two factors which ensured that the flow of casualties continued undiminished throughout the remaining years of the war on a scale never matched before or since. In the early months of fervent patriotism and enthusiasm when young men queued to join up in the fear that it would all be over before they could have a chance to come face to face with the enemy, the concept of a roll of honour which would give biographical details with portraits of all those who had fallen in the service of their country was obviously thought to be a publishing possibility. The later disasters of 1916 and 1917 would prove that it was not. Nevertheless, the ROLL OF HONOUR is an amazing record and a tribute to the persistence of those who compiled it as well as to those whose names it contains. Published in five parts, this immense undertaking is now reprinted. Its 1,400+ pages contain the biographies of well over 25,000 men of the army, navy and air force who gave their lives, nearly 7,000 of the entries being accompanied by a photograph. Naturally, in a work of this kind, the length and style of the entries is varied and, where official sources have been used, the detail is restricted to the man s regiment and place and date of death. Where the family has provided the background, however, the entries are much more detailed and, in the case of both officers and men, often cover a number of column inches to give a real biographical account. This work was designed as a tribute and a memorial but the passage of time has made it much more than that. Here, in an age when interest in the family and its history is on the increase, the photographs and biographies of many of our grandfathers and great grandfathers killed in the Great War are made available to their descendants. The opportunity to acquire this important archive will be of interest to genealogists, librarians, family and military historians, medal collectors and many others with an interest in the men who failed to return to their families in 1919.

Book excerpt: An exciting and fast-paced narrative of over 100 gallant officers who died during the First World WarPacked with incredible stories of individual heroism and sacrificeAssiduously researched, rich in detail and lavishly illustratedForeword by John Bercow, Speaker of the House, and introduction by The Hon. Ian R. K. Paisley MP, Freeman City of London Led by Lions: MPs and Sons Who Fell in the First World War tells the story of over 100 men who went to war and did not return. Many MPs fought in the war and in some instances, they pulled strings to get there. Casualties amongst them were high, but the loss of their sons outweighed their own sacrifice. In this book, Neil Thornton dispels the popular belief that the country’s politicians sat in safety while callously sending the nation’s youth to their deaths. Their own sacrifices, together with those of their sons, are described here in poignant detail, including such names as Tom Kettle, William Gladstone and Raymond Asquith. Others such as Valentine Fleming – father of James Bond author Ian Fleming – and Thomas Agar-Robartes feature alongside them. Recommended for the Victoria Cross for the rescue of casualties under heavy fire, Agar-Robartes’ act would cost him his life, but he would earn the respect of every man under his command. This lavishly illustrated book is a tribute to those MPs and their sons who went to war – never to return.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the morning of 22 September 1914, just six weeks into the First World War, three Royal Navy armoured cruisers were sunk by a German U-boat in the southern North Sea. The action lasted less than 90 minutes but the lives of 1,459 men and boys were lost – more than the British losses at the Battle of Trafalgar or in the sinking of RMS Lusitania. Yet, curiously, few have ever heard of the incident. The Coal Black Sea tells the extraordinary true story of the disaster from the perspectives of the men serving on HMS Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy, and the German submariners who orchestrated the attack. It also examines how the ignominious loss provoked widespread criticism of the highly ambitious First Lord of the Admiralty, the 39-year-old Winston Churchill. While the families of the victims grieved, Churchill succeeded in playing down the significance of the disaster and shifted the blame to those serving at sea to save his faltering career. Using a range of official and archival records, Stuart Heaver exposes this false narrative and corrects over a century of misinformation to honour those who lost their lives in the worst naval catastrophe of the First World War.

Download or read book Fighting Irish written by Gavin Hughes and published by Merrion Press. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fighting Irish is a meticulous and engaging account of the First World War from the perspective of the men of the Irish Regiments of the British Army, revealing the extent of the Irish military commitment to the Great War effort from 1914-1918. Startling and sympathetic matters, from campaign strategy to the soldiers’ intimate war experiences, are addressed with fascinating documentary evidence and poignant eye-witness accounts. Persisting humour and unexpected trials; mounting reputations and the mundane drudgery of routine military life – all is touched upon in the lives of these men, and undercut by the pervasive loss of life. Whether fighting at Ypres, the Somme, Gallipoli, Kostorino or Nablus, the story of the Irish Regiments is compelling and evocative, with reasons for enlistment as varied as the men themselves. Though entrenched in warfare, many minds were set on the increasing unrest at home, swaying their interests and shaping the communications they left to posterity. Fighting Irish defines the diverse backgrounds of all those who served with the Irish regiments in these years, recounting their deeds through exacting historical research within a gripping and affecting narrative.
