Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Oswin Creighton, 1883-1918 I have put together these selections from Oswin Creighton's many letters, in the hope that those who came across him during some part of his full and varied life may be glad to know more about one who, whatever they may have thought of him, must at least have attracted their attention. It has seemed best not to attempt a regular memoir, but to let him disclose himself in his own words. He liked to pour out in his letters the thoughts and ideas which crowded his active mind. But he said again and again that what he wrote must not be taken as considered opinions, that very likely in a few days or even hours, he would think quite differently. So his letters must not be thought to contain carefully weighed expressions of opinion. They express the mood and thought of the moment, but at the same time they reveal the man who wrote them. They show an eager soul, a fearless seeker after truth, frank, impulsive, spontaneous, longing to give affection, delighting in the affection he received. The circumstances of his life, as well as his own inquiring and critical disposition, made it impossible for him to be content with accepted opinions or conventional methods of thought and action. Life, whether in a Notting Dale slum, on the Canadian prairie, or on the bloodstained battlefields of Gallipoli and France, brought to him an endless series of questionings and problems. These he always stated fearlessly, for he was absolutely sincere. He did not live to work out the solution of his problems. His letters must remain as an unfinished story. But his statement of the questionings forced upon him in the midst of experiences, searching, testing, often terrible, may help others to go on working to find the answer. It is sometimes even more illuminating to ask than to answer a question. Ever a learner, a truth-seeker himself, he never wanted to impose his opinion on others, only to help them to think out things for themselves.

Download or read book Physical Control Transformation and Damage in the First World War written by Simon Harold Walker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From enlistment in 1914 to the end of service in 1918, British men's bodies were constructed, conditioned, and controlled in the pursuit of allied victory. Physical Control, Transformation and Damage in the First World War considers the physical and psychological impact of conflict on individuals and asks the question of who, in the heart of war, really had control of the soldier's body. As men learned to fight they became fitter, healthier, and physically more agile, yet much of this was quickly undone once they entered the fray and became wounded, died, or harmed their own bodies to escape. Employing a wealth of sources, including personal testimonies, official records, and oral accounts, Simon Harold Walker sheds much-needed light on soldiers' own experiences of World War I as they were forced into martial moulds and then abandoned in the aftermath of combat. In this book, Walker expertly synthesizes military, sociological, and medical history to provide a unique top-down history of individual soldiers' experiences during the Great War, giving a voice to the thousands of missing, mutilated, and muted men who fought for their country. The result is a fascinating exploration of body cultures, power, and the British army.

Download or read book The Church of England and the First World War written by Alan Wilkinson and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church of England and the First World War (first published in 1978) explores in depth the role of the church during the tragic circumstances of the First World War using biographies, newspapers, magazines, letters, poetry and other sources in a balanced evaluation. The myth that the war was fought by 'lions led by donkeys' powerfully endures turning heroes into victims. Alan Wilkinson demonstrates the sheer horror, moral ambiguity, and the interaction between religion, the church and warwith a scholarly, and yet poetic, hand. The author creates a vivid image of the church and society, includes views of the Free Churches and Roman Catholics, portrays the pastoral problems and challenges to faith presented by war, and the pressures for reform of church and society. The Church of England and the First World War is written with compelling compassion and great historical understanding, making the book hard to put down. This expert and classic study will grip the religious and secular alike, the general reader or the student.

Download or read book The Royal Army Chaplains Department 1796 1953 written by Michael Francis Snape and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey and reassessment of the role of the army chaplain in its first 150 years. Few military or ecclesiastical figures are as controversial as the military chaplain, routinely attacked by pacifist and anticlerical commentators and too readily dismissed by religious and military historians. This highly revisionist study represents a complete reappraisal of the role of the British army chaplain and of the Royal Army Chaplains' Department in the first century and a half of its existence. Challenging old caricatures and stereotypes and drawing on a wealth of new archival material, it surveys the political, denominational and organisational development of the R.A.Ch.D., analyses the changing role and experience of the British army chaplain across the nineteenth century and the two World Wars, and addresses the wider significance of British army chaplaincy for Britain's military, religious and cultural history over the period c.1800-1950. MICHAEL SNAPE is Senior Lecturer in ModernHistory at the University of Birmingham. The volume has a Foreword by Richard Holmes.
