PREFACE "So, for better and for worse, Henri Riel, accept my verse!.T this book may fall into the hands of some readers who are not entirely familiar with the identity of the 34th Company is not improbable, and to ensure for these a dearer understanding of the story herein related it may perhaps be-well to restate that the 34th Company was the first of three Imperial Yeomanry Companies raised in the County of Middlesex, the other two being the 35th and the 62nd Companies. The 34th and 35th Companies formed one half of the 11th Battalion, the 33rd East Kfints and 36th West Kents being the other half. The 11th Battalion, for the greater part of its campaigning, was a part of the 17th Brigade, which was commanded by Major-General Boyes, and which in turn was t part of the Eighth Division of the great South African Amy. The Eighth Division was commanded by MajorGeneral Sir Leslie Rundle, and it operated in the eastern portions of the Orange Free State, which afterwards became the Orange River Colony. This old 34th Company was begun to be organised in December, 1899. It remained at the front, on active service, from April, 1900, to June, 1901, and during that penod it suffered casualties to the amount of about fifty Concerning a re-organisation of the 11th Battalion, see March 5,1901, mitted. I was pertinently asked, "If you have not constituted yourself Scribe and Recorder to the Company to what purpose is all your scribbling?" Once being convicted I rolled my somewhat incoherent snowball of notes more diligently than ever, tried to accept the situation gracefully, and began to realise that the best must be made of a bad job. To endeavour to fulfil in a measure certain generous expectations that were expressed, I felt would be the best...

Download or read book The Yeomanry Cavalry and Military Identities in Rural Britain 1815 1914 written by George Hay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents the first dedicated study of the British Yeomanry Cavalry, delving into the institution’s history from the cessation of hostilities with France in 1815 through to the eve of the First World War in 1914. This social history explores the Yeomanry’s composition and place within British society, as well as its controversial role in policing before and after Peterloo, and its unique contribution to the war in South Africa. Overturning or challenging many enduring myths and accepted truths, this book breaks new ground not just in our understanding of the Yeomanry, but the wider amateur military tradition.

Download or read book An Imperial War and the British Working Class written by Richard Price and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2006. This study looks at a time when Victorian Britain was a time for self-doubt. There was an increasing fear that the 'place in the sun' that had so long been hers was being shadowed by the rising powers of Germany and the United States of America. Doubts arouse about her economic strength, her military prowess, even the viability of the two-party system. The South African War of 1899-1902 served for a time as the focus for all the fears that many Britons had about their country's future. The patriotism it engendered was exaggerated by the early military failures to resolve the problem of the troublesome Boers. The focus of the text is on working-class attitudes and reactions to the Boer War 1899-1902.

Download or read book The Boer War written by Fred R. van Hartesveldt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-05-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years after the Boer War, the British continue to debate what went wrong, while the war has significant nationalist overtones in today's South Africa. This book examines changes in interpretations of the war and provides a bibliography of major sources on the Boer War, now sometimes called the South African War. The bibliography focuses on the military history, but also includes some historical accounts of the political debate. The first part of the book provides an extended historiographical essay, while part two provides an annotated bibliography of the titles discussed in part one. Historiographical questions concerning the Boer War are numerous. Discussions of military operations focus on the early use of modern weaponry and the effect of guerrilla tactics on a traditional force, while other historians debate the question of British military leadership and organization. Questions also revolve around British imperialism and the scramble for Africa. Frequently called the second war for freedom by South African authors, the war was the reason that South Africa, unlike other British colonies, gained independence without majority rule. This makes the war of continuing relevance to the turmoil in South Africa, the collapse of the minority government, and the continuing problems of the current government. This book will provide a useful tool for those wishing to research the war.
