This book was released on 2011-07-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1864, Abraham Lincoln penned what is known as the “Bixby Letter” offering his condolences to the mother of five soldiers who had fallen in the service of their country. A shocking sacrifice for the cause for any one family to make, although it transpired not all of the sons were in fact dead. Some years earlier the last surviving member of his generation of the Fernyhough family, from Staffordshire in England, wrote the stories of his brothers and himself. Robert Fernyhough’s brothers, John and Henry in the Royal Marines and Thomas in the infantry, had fallen in the service of their country during the Napoleonic Wars. Robert himself saw much action as a Royal Marine before eventually fighting in the 95th Rifles in the Peninsular under Wellington, including heavy engagement at the battle of Busaco. The fighting record of the Fernyhough family that is recorded in this work is truly astonishing; Expeditions to Walcheren, Buenos Ayres, Walcheren, the coast of Spain, Savoy, Toulon, Malta, Gibraltar not to mention hard soldiering in the Peninsular make for an excellent Read. Author – Robert Fernyhough (1785-1866)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Records of the 1st King's Own Stafford Militia: Now 3rd and 4th Battalions, South Staffordshire Regiment General Fraser, who was the Commander-in-chief, called out, Step out, old Serjeant. The Sergeant, who was uncommonly tall, being apprehensive that by so doing he should throw the battalion-men into disorder, though the Grenadiers might keep up with him, and, piqued for the honour of the Regiment, which stood very high in the scale of military estimation, ventured to destroy the command, by pretending not to hear it upon which the General repeated it with the addition of a menace, that if he did not step out, he would order the men to tread upon his heels. The Serjeant, however, rather chose to run the hazard of any consequences to himself from his perse verance, than of the least disgrace which might befall the Regiment. The General, probably imagining his command would now be obeyed, directed his observations elsewhere but the poor Serjeant was extremely mortified at this public rebuke, and his chagrin appeared so strongly marked in his countenance, that his Captain, who was witness to the whole affair, mentioned it to the Earl of Uxbridge, then Lord Paget, and Colonel of the Regiment, who, with the rest of the officers was engaged to dine with the General that day, and who gave him such a character of the Serjeant, as induced him to make him a reparation as public as the rebuke had been. Accordingly, on the day when the camp broke up, the Regiments being all drawn out, the General called out to him, Serjeant Sarjant and when he came up to him took a silver-mounted sabre from his belt, and said, You will accept of this, and wear it for my sake, as a token of the great Opinion I entertain of you as a soldier, and a non-commissioned oficer and then, to enhance the value of the gift, turning to Lord Paget, said, This sabre is not agreeable to the Stafiordshire uniform and therefore, I beg your Lordship will give the old gentleman leave to wear it whenever he pleases to which his Lordship assented. It would be an act of injustice to his noble patron, not to mention, that when he quitted the command of the Regiment soon after, he directed the Serjeant to draw on him annually for twenty guineas. The sabre and its scabbard were placed across each other on his coflin, at his funeral, which was celebrated with the usual military honours. He has bequeathed it to one of the brothers of his Captain, who is an emeer in America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stafford in the Great War tells the fascinating story of a county town and its people between the catastrophic years of 1914–18 .The title was written as a companion volume to the author's earlier work, Stafford at War 1939-45, and adopts the same successful formula. The book examines the work of local men and women on the Home Front, before providing details of the towns contribution in every theatre of the war. Early chapters examine the role of Staffordians who served in the British Expeditionary Force, nicknamed The Contemptible Little Army by Kaiser Wilhelm II, and who took part in the Christmas Truce, 1914. The story of the Stafford Territorials of the Stafford Battery, the Staffordshire Yeomanry and the North and South Staffordshire Regiments is also explained, along with the fate of Kitcheners Volunteer Army.The events surrounding the service of a number of local men are recorded in some detail, along with the exploits of men who fought in all of the armed services and support units. Collectively, their stories help outline the course of the war.Staffordians won 120 gallantry awards during the conflict, and those that are not referred to in the main body of the text may be found in an appendix. Also listed are the names and service details of over 400 men whose names were omitted from the towns war memorial.
