Download or read book Defending Albion written by K. W. Mitchinson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-02-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defending Albion is the first published study of Britain's response to the threat of invasion from across the North Sea in the first two decades of the Twentieth Century. It examines the emergency schemes designed to confront an enemy landing and the problems associated with raising and maintaining the often derided Territorial Force. It also explores the long-neglected military and political difficulties posed by the spontaneous and largely unwanted appearance of the 'Dad's Army' of the Great War, the Volunteer Force.
Download or read book Brighton in the Great War written by Douglas d'Enno and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-01-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the impact of the Great War on Brighton was profound, the seaside town was spared any direct attack by the enemy. The fear of spies and sabotage, however, was widespread at first and aliens were an issue which had to be swiftly resolved under new legislation. Allies, of course, were warmly welcomed, and accommodation was soon provided for those fleeing the catastrophic events in Belgium. Between 1914 and 1918, Brighton made major contributions to the war effort in many ways: by responding readily to the call to arms, by caring for great numbers of wounded (the story of the exotic Royal Pavilion being used as a hospital for Indian casualties is widely known locally) and by simply being itself an oPen & welcoming resort that offered sanctuary, respite and entertainment to besieged Londoners and to other visitors, from every stratum of society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the First World War, London played a major part in Great Britain's war effort, both at home and abroad. A far as Germany was concerned, the city was their ultimate goal the ultimate target that would bring them the sought-after victory they so desired. With the British Royal Family at Buckingham Palace, the heart of British Government at the Houses of Parliament and one of Europe's major financial centres, situated at the Bank of England, London was a major prize that would either be protected or lost to the enemy. With a real belief amongst the British public that there would be an invasion at some time during the war, the security of the countries capital was paramount not only for survival of the nation, but also to ensure that public morale remained high.The capital was a central hub for recruitment with centres popping up all over the city, at places such as Scotland Yard and the Tower of London. There was a regiment for everybody, catering for all elements of society from the labourer, to the landed gentry, for the more affluent, as well as those less well off, and from the professional sportsman, to the city banker; everybody wanted to do their bit for King and Country.The book looks at many different aspects of wartime London: the Members of Parliament who left their comfortable lifestyles, who fought and died for their country, the Silvertown munitions factory explosion, the twelve German spies who were shot at the Tower of London, and the hundreds of military hospitals that were spread across London. Part of St Thomas's Hospital, for example, treated the wounds of 11,396 military personnel between 1915-19.City of London in the Great War records yet another chapter in the history of the nation's capital, during the four-year period of time, which will live in the memory of the city forever more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Guard in the Great War: 1914 1918 Great War comes to be fully written, said the General, The National Guard will have a page in that history. Every member of the National Guard can look back upon its five years' history with a certain glow of pride and measure of satisfaction. The Corps is a standing witness to the spirit Of Volunteers in England and in London especially - the spirit which triumphantly carried this country through its time of crisis. From the furrow and the country-house, from the workman's cottage, the little villa of the clerk, the palace of the rich, the young men came streaming to the Colours at the time of Britain's peril. They had no liking for soldiering and assuredly no love for war. Peaceful by nature and training, they had asked only to be left to their work or their sport, and the Germans scoffed at the idea that out of such material an army could be trained which would face their well trained hosts. From every part of our vast Empire these quiet citizens gathered for the bloody business of war, and showed themselves the finest soldiers in the world. That is the wonderful thing about it all - Old Army, Territorials, Volun teers, men from the backwoods of Canada, the cornfields of Australia, the mean streets of the East end of London - there was nothing to choose between them. Into the actual fighting - line the National Guard, as a body, was never called, although, had the occasion arisen, there is no doubt the Corps would have given a good account of itself.
