Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roll of Service in the Great War, 1914-1919 In this volume the University of Aberdeen records the service and the sacrifices rendered by her Graduates, Alumni, Students, and Staff during the Great War, and does homage to the memory of those of them who achieved the greatest that men can and laid down their lives for their friends- and indeed for all men, in so far as they fought, suffered and died for ideals which are essential to the higher life of the race. They entered the War at various stages of its development. Some already held commissions in the Regular Forces of the Crown - a few as combatants and many more in the medical services of the Navy and the Army. A still greater number, mindful of their duty to share in the defence of their country, were, when war broke out, members of the Territorial Force, mainly in the University Company of the Fourth Gordons and in several Artillery and Medical units. Without hesitation all of these responded to the call to active service. Of the rest the great majority also joined the King's Forces as volunteers. Those who followed under conscription went with as ready and gallant a will as their predecessors. As the lists show, a considerable number from first to last came from over the seas. To us, whom hundreds of them consulted before enlisting, or who visited them during their training, it was clear that, with few exceptions, they offered themselves only after deliberation and with an understanding of the high issues which confronted our people from 1914 onwards. Being from their education of more than average intelligence they were awake to what war meant and, as some of the following sketches reveal, they hated it - a hatred that deepened with every month's experience of its horrors. But their sense of duty to their people, to the Cause, and to themselves was still more strong and sustained them to the end. Their studies, or the practice of their professions, had been rudely broken. They entered on a discipline and a career alien to their previous habits and to the ideals of their education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the classic bestseller by J.M. Winter, originally published by Macmillan in 1985, includes a new and up-to-date introduction. This was the first major study to highlight the paradox that a conflict that killed or maimed over two million men, also created conditions which improved the health of the civilian population. Examining both the war and its aftermath, Dr Winter surveys not only trends in population and the impact of the conflict on an entire generation, but also, more profoundly, the meaning of the literature of the period.

Download or read book Roll of Honour written by Barry Blades and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardens of Hell examines the human side of one of the great tragedies of modern warfare, the Gallipoli campaign of the First World War. In February 1915, beginning with a naval attack on Turkey in the Dardanelles, a combined force of British, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, and French troops invaded the Gallipoli Peninsula only to face crushing losses and an ignominious retreat from what seemed a hopeless mission. Both sides in the battle suffered huge casualties, with a combined 127,000 servicemen killed during the action. Patrick Gariepy has pieced together the battle from combatantsÆ own words. Drawn from diaries and letters and from stories passed down through generations of families, these firsthand accounts offer an honest, heartfelt, and sometimes painful testimony to a doomed campaign fought by the men who lived through the fury, terror, and grief that was Gallipoli. Gardens of Hell is a sensitive acknowledgment of the enormous human cost of military folly and failure.
