Book excerpt: A British military veteran presents an insider’s history of the UK’s elite armored regiment across three centuries of service—“highly recommended” (Military Historical Society). Formed in 1993, the Queen’s Royal Hussars trace their origins back to 1685 when King James II formed a standing army. An amalgamation of two former regiments—the Queen’s Own Hussars and the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars—the QRH carry on the distinguished history of their antecedents. A veteran of both the Queen’s Own and the Queen’s Royal Irish, Robin Rhoderick-Jones tells the history of these celebrated regiments who fought alongside each other at Dettingen, Balaklava, the Peninsula, in India and during the two World Wars. Recently the QRH have seen action in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan where they provided the first cavalry-led ground-holding battlegroup. In Peace and War is a superbly researched record of the QRH through more than 300 years’ distinguished service to the Crown. While the demands facing the QRH have changed over the years, their dedication, bravery, commitment and sense of humor remain constant.

This book was released on 2011-12-23 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This diary is written from notes made daily by the author when he was signal sergeant to Lieutenant-Colonel P.L.Clowes, who commanded the regiment during the war until October 1901, and afterwards from notes made when he was a squadron sergeant-major and Orderly-Room Sergeant (ORS). It also incorporates the diary of C Squadron, when detached from the regiment, written by its OC, Major A.Henderson, and that of A Squadron during the time it was with Colonel Pulteney's Column, written by Major F.W.Mussenden, squadron OC. It begins with a short, background history of the regiment from its formation in 1693 to 1903 when it was in Aldershot. On 26th December 1899 the regiment was at the Curragh when mobilization orders were received and on 13th February 1900 the regiment embarked at Queenstown (Cobh) for S Africa, part of the 4th Cavalry Brigade with 7th Dragoon Guards and 17th Lancers. Embarkation strength was 19 officers, 586 WOs, NCOs and men and 487 horses (someone was going to have to walk!). The complete nominal roll of those embarking is given, listed by squadrons. The diary begins on 13th Feb followed by daily entries describing the voyage during which eleven horses and one crew member died; it ended at Cape Town on 10th March. It is on this daily entry basis that the progress of the regiment is described, in action, on the move, in camp with all the problems of campaigning on the veldt - sickness, food and water shortage, supplies and other details. Casualties are noted by name and rank and number as they occurred, each draft arriving is listed by number, rank and name and this aspect is a godsend to medallists and genealogists. We meet officers who will have a part to play in the next war - French, Plumer, Pulteney, Hamilton and others. The memorial in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, lists three officers and 51 other ranks dead; the description of the unveiling ceremony as published in the Dublin Mail andEvening Mail is reproduced at the end of the book.

Download or read book History of the VIII King s Royal Irish Hussars 1693 1927 written by Robert H. Murray, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Regiment was raised in northern Ireland in January 1693, shortly after the Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim had seen the end of the French supported Irish rebellion and the Jacobite cause in Ireland. In the warrant authorising the formation of the regiment it was stated that the men should be known Protestants - Catholics were out! Known first as Colonel Cunningham s (Conyngham) Regiment of Dragoons, it became the 8th Dragoons in 1751 and then Light Dragoons until 1822 when it was designated King s Royal Irish Hussars. The first of the many campaigns in which it was to fight was the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1713) during which it was in action in Spain over a period of some eight years. During its next two hundred years it woud see plenty of action - in the Crimea (Charge of the Light Brigade), in the Indian Mutiny, the 2nd Afghan War, the South African War and the Great War. All these campaigns are, of course, well covered, but there is plenty on the life of the Regiment, its officers and men, its changes in dress, its weapons and equipment, pay and conditions of service. There are tables showing nationalities of the men, their ages, their heights, lengths of service - even the ages and sizes of the horses - this in the period immediately following the 45 rebellion. There are some useful appendices for researchers at the end of Vol 2. There is the regimental calendar arranged on a monthly basis whereby any significant event in the history of the Regiment is shown in the relevant month with the date, day of the week and year in which it occurred. Thus, in January we read that the warrant for raising the Regiment was issued by William III on the 18th, a Sunday, in the year 1693; and in October we can see the Regiment sailed from Bombay for France on Friday 16th, 1914. There is the succession of Colonels from 1693 and commanding officers from 1750 when the appointment of CO was separated from that of Colonel of the Regiment, followed by an 86-page list of regimental officers, year by year, arranged by rank and seniority as in the Army Lists. There is an index to this list, arranged alphabetically with the dates each officer served with the regiment; and finally there is the list of RSMs from 1811 when that rank was established. The history concludes with a comprehensive 33-page index.

Book excerpt: Corporal Harold J. Skaarup of Carleton County, New Brunswick was a Sherman tank commander in A Squadron of the 5th Armoured Regiment, 8th Princess Louise's New Brunswick Hussars during the Second World War. On the morning of the 31st of August 1944, he and his tank crew were fighting the Germans in Italy near a hill known as Point 136. His Squadron had already lost twelve of 19 tanks, ten to German 88mm anti-tank shells and 2 to breakdowns. That morning, Harold's tank was hit by a shell fired from a German 88mm anti-tank gun, and Harold was badly injured. Although he and his tank crew bailed out of the burning Sherman, mortar rounds began to land on them. Harold was hit again, this time taking shell fragments in his chest. He was evacuated to a field hospital in the rear area, but died later from his wounds on the 6th of September 1944. He was 24 years old. Today he lies buried in a Commonwealth War Grave in Montecchio, Italy. He never got home to tell his story. This record is a partial chronicle of his service, by his nephew. We never met, but I do carry his name.
