This book was released on 2005-03 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume continues the theme of the development of the Royal Artillery during the run-up to the Great War, fifteen years compared with the forty of VoL I, fifteen years devoted to definite preparation in which the developments in Organization, Armament and Training discussed in Vol I were co-ordinated to a common aim. On the other hand the breach between branches was widened by the separation between mounted and dismounted, and the general trend towards spacialization. So, in this volume a different method has been adopted in which the developments of each branch are recorded separately in three parts - The Field Army Artillery, The Siege Artillery and the Coast Artillery. Part V has a couple of chapters on the Auxiliary Artillery which included the Militia, Volunteers, the Special Reserve and the Territorial Force. The final Part VI deals with Regimental Institutions such as the Remount Department, the Riding Establishment, the RA Institution, the Artillery College, Gunnery courses, the RMA, the RA Mess and the Bands. One of the appendices provides a chart showing the distribution of units as on 1 Aug 1914. There is a very comprehensive index

Download or read book History of the Royal and Indian Artillery in the Mutiny of 1857 written by Julian R. J. Jocelyn and published by . This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history, written at the beginning of the Great War half a century after the events it describes, started out only as a history of the Royal Artillery s part in the Indian Mutiny. However, the unit became inextricably mixed with the Bengal, Madras and Bombay artillery during the campaign, and the four regiments were officially amalgamated soon afterwards in 1861. Therefore, as the author remarks, this book is effectively a military history of the Indian Mutiny itself, covering events chronologically and in some detail, from minor skirmishes to the great setpiece sieges of Delhi and Lucknow. The narrative is based both on official despatches and on books, diaries, letters and interviews with eye-witnesses of the events it relates and is illustrated with drawings and sketch maps. Detailed appendices list awards, Rolls of Honour and lists of actions and enagements in which the artillery fought.

Download or read book Royal Artillery Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations written by Philip Jobson and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its creation in 1716, the Royal Artillery has been a cornerstone of the British Armed Forces, as their motto Ubique, 'Everywhere' implies. In this book Philip Jobson has collated the enormous and complex artillery lexicon which has accumulated since that day, as dynamic as its subject to keep pace with technical and tactical innovation. The development of indirect fire, counter battery, anti-tank and anti-aircraft fire all required a novel vocabulary, as did advances in survey and locating. Changes in communication from shouts, to flags, to line, to radio, to compressed data transmission all left their mark on the language. Epic in scope and detail, even the most expert Gunner would be likely to fail an unseen test based on this work. It will therefore be a pleasure to those who think themselves expert to browse this volume, and will serve as an invaluable reference for historians and researchers to ensure that they use the correct term and understand its true meaning.

Download or read book The British Military Revolution of the 19th Century written by Daniel R. LeClair and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Crimean War through the Second Boer War, the British Empire sought to solve the "Great Gun Question"--to harness improvements to ordnance, small arms, explosives and mechanization made possible by the Industrial Revolution. The British public played a surprising but overlooked role, offering myriad suggestions for improvements to the civilian-led War Office. Meanwhile, politicians and army leaders argued over control of the country's ground forces in a decades-long struggle that did not end until reforms of 1904 put the military under the Secretary of State for War. Following the debate in the press, voters put pressure on both Parliament and the War Office to modernize ordnance and military administration. The "Great Gun Question" was as much about weaponry as about who ultimately controlled military power. Drawing on ordnance committee records and contemporary news reports, this book fills a gap in the history of British military technology and army modernization prior to World War I.
