This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is compiled from the records maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission of servicemen and women killed or missing since the start of the First World War in 1914. The book is divided into 10 sections that contain details of the location within the site where United Kingdom or Australian service personnel who were one of five or less of their particular service rank to lose their lives are commemorated. Every life lost as a result of military service is a tragedy for the family and friends of the individual, and this book does not seek to imply that those listed here are any more deserving of memory than those not selected. The CWGC lists 107,524 names of dead or missing United Kingdom Naval personnel who are remembered at locations worldwide. Of these 21,138 (19.7%) are listed on the Plymouth Naval Memorial. The CWGC lists 2,586 names of dead or missing Australian Naval personnel who are remembered at locations worldwide. Of these 1,856 (71.8%) are listed on the Plymouth Naval Memorial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normandy, Flanders Field and other overseas cemeteries of the American Battle Monument Commission (ABMC) are well known. However, lesser-known burial sites of American war dead exist all over the world—in Australia and across the Pacific Rim, in Canada and Mexico, Libya and Spain, most of Europe and as far north as the Russian Arctic. This is the history of American soldiers buried abroad since the American Revolution. It traces the evolution of American attitudes and practices about war dead and provides the names and locations of those still buried abroad in non–ABMC locations.

Download or read book Blackpool To The Front written by Mark Cronin and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Blackpool to the Front!' was a rallying cry first heard at the Battle of Étreux in August 1914 when the Royal Munster Fusiliers halted an entire German Army Corps. The experience of the hundreds who enlisted from the industrial Cork suburb of Blackpool mirrors the experience of the 200,000 Irishmen who joined up. At least sixty-nine Blackpool men made the ultimate sacrifice: factory workers, sons, husbands and fathers. Some enlisted to escape poverty, some to defend 'the rights of small nations'. They fought in France, Flanders, Gallipoli, Palestine and on the high seas. This is their story.

Download or read book The Clare War Dead written by Tom Burnell and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clare War Dead is a comprehensive record of those men from County Clare who died during the Great War, and is the next instalment in this prolific author's series on the subject. His tireless research has been undertaken to honour those who died in service, and to shine a light on an aspect of Irish history which has for too long gone unexamined and unrecognised. Such a list, combined as it is with intricate data and previously unpublished correspondence and photographs, is an essential addition to any local historian or military enthusiast's bookshelf. This is Tom Burnell's seventh book in this series, following on from the success of similar titles on Waterford, Offaly, Wexford, Wicklow, Tipperary and Carlow.
Download or read book St Nazaire Raid 1942 written by Stephen Wynn and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The raid on St Nazaire has gone down in history as one of the most daring commando raids of all time. Given the code name of Operation Chariot, it took place in the early hours of Saturday, 28 March 1942, and was a joint undertaking by the Royal Navy and British Commando units. The port at St Nazaire, which sits on the Loire estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, has a dry dock that was capable of accommodating some of Germany’s biggest naval vessels, such as the Bismarck, or the Tirpitz. By putting the port out of action, any repairs or maintenance work that needed to be carried out would instead have to be undertaken back home at the German port of Bremerhaven. To do this, the German vessels would either have to navigate the waters of the English Channel or the North Sea, with both journeys potentially bringing them to the attention of the Home Fleet of the Royal Navy. A raiding force of 612 officers and men were assembled and dispatched from Falmouth to carry out the raid, sailing on board the obsolete British destroyer HMS Campbeltown, along with 18 Motor Launches. The idea was to ram the destroyer in to the outer gates of the dry dock at St Nazaire and put it out of action for as long as possible. The raid was a success, but came at a price: of those who set out, 169 were killed whilst a further 215 were captured. Only 3 Motor Launches and 228 men escaped and made the return journey back to the UK. Many brave men gave it their all during the action at St Nazaire, to such an extent that 89 of those who took part in the raid were awarded decorations for bravery, including 5 who were awarded the Victoria Cross.
Download or read book Amidst Cheers They Marched to War written by Hannah Spencer and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare has redefined our world over the past century. Even the smallest communities have cheered their men as they marched away, and laid wreaths for those who didn’t return. The villages which formed the Alscot Estate in Warwickshire are no different. Their men lie in graves in France, India, Iraq, Burma, South Africa and many other places besides. Some are remembered in perpetuity. Others are not. None of those touched by war returned home the same. Physically and emotionally, their lives were changed forever, for better or for worse. The cost to them, their families and their communities was great. The Second World War in particular redefined life for those on the home front. As conflict brings out the worst in people, it also brings out the best. This book tells stories of incredible feats of bravery. Humour amidst intolerable hardships. Dedication, sacrifice, camaraderie lasting decades. Men, women and children striving to do their best for their country. People simply getting on with things, because they had to be done. This is their tribute.
