Book excerpt: The Great War was the first 'Total War'; a war in which human and material resources were pitched into a life-and-death struggle on a colossal scale. British citizens fought on both the Battle Fronts and on the Home Front, on the killing fields of France and Flanders as well as in the industrial workshops of 'Blighty'. Men, women and children all played their part in an unprecedented mobilisation of a nation at war. Unlike much of the traditional literature on the Great War, with its understandable fascination with the terrible experiences of 'Tommy in the Trenches', Roll of Honour shifts our gaze. It focuses on how the Great War was experienced by other key participants, namely those communities involved in 'schooling' the nation's children. It emphasises the need to examine the 'myriad faces of war', rather than traditional stereotypes, if we are to gain a deeper understanding of personal agency and decision making in times of conflict and upheaval. The dramatis personae in Roll of Honour include Head Teachers and Governors charged by the Government with mobilising their 'troops'; school masters, whose enlistment, conscription or conscientious objection to military service changed lives and career paths; the 'temporary' school mistresses who sought to demonstrate their 'interchangeability' in male dominated institutions; the school alumni who thought of school whilst knee-deep in mud; and finally, of course, the school children themselves, whose 'campaigns' added vital resources to the war economy. These 'myriad faces' existed in all types of British school, from the elite Public Schools to the elementary schools designed for the country's poorest waifs and strays. This powerful account of the Great War will be of interest to general readers as well as historians of military campaigns, education and British society.

Book De Ruvigny s Roll of Honour 1914 1918

Download or read book De Ruvigny s Roll of Honour 1914 1918 written by Marquis De Ruvigny and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Drawing on exhaustive research, this intimate account details how World War I reduced Europe’s mightiest empires to rubble, killed twenty million people, and cracked the foundations of our modern world “Thundering, magnificent . . . [A World Undone] is a book of true greatness that prompts moments of sheer joy and pleasure. . . . It will earn generations of admirers.”—The Washington Times On a summer day in 1914, a nineteen-year-old Serbian nationalist gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. While the world slumbered, monumental forces were shaken. In less than a month, a combination of ambition, deceit, fear, jealousy, missed opportunities, and miscalculation sent Austro-Hungarian troops marching into Serbia, German troops streaming toward Paris, and a vast Russian army into war, with England as its ally. As crowds cheered their armies on, no one could guess what lay ahead in the First World War: four long years of slaughter, physical and moral exhaustion, and the near collapse of a civilization that until 1914 had dominated the globe. Praise for A World Undone “Meyer’s sketches of the British Cabinet, the Russian Empire, the aging Austro-Hungarian Empire . . . are lifelike and plausible. His account of the tragic folly of Gallipoli is masterful. . . . [A World Undone] has an instructive value that can scarcely be measured”—Los Angeles Times “An original and very readable account of one of the most significant and often misunderstood events of the last century.”—Steve Gillon, resident historian, The History Channel
