PREFACE "So, for better and for worse, Henri Riel, accept my verse!.T this book may fall into the hands of some readers who are not entirely familiar with the identity of the 34th Company is not improbable, and to ensure for these a dearer understanding of the story herein related it may perhaps be-well to restate that the 34th Company was the first of three Imperial Yeomanry Companies raised in the County of Middlesex, the other two being the 35th and the 62nd Companies. The 34th and 35th Companies formed one half of the 11th Battalion, the 33rd East Kfints and 36th West Kents being the other half. The 11th Battalion, for the greater part of its campaigning, was a part of the 17th Brigade, which was commanded by Major-General Boyes, and which in turn was t part of the Eighth Division of the great South African Amy. The Eighth Division was commanded by MajorGeneral Sir Leslie Rundle, and it operated in the eastern portions of the Orange Free State, which afterwards became the Orange River Colony. This old 34th Company was begun to be organised in December, 1899. It remained at the front, on active service, from April, 1900, to June, 1901, and during that penod it suffered casualties to the amount of about fifty Concerning a re-organisation of the 11th Battalion, see March 5,1901, mitted. I was pertinently asked, "If you have not constituted yourself Scribe and Recorder to the Company to what purpose is all your scribbling?" Once being convicted I rolled my somewhat incoherent snowball of notes more diligently than ever, tried to accept the situation gracefully, and began to realise that the best must be made of a bad job. To endeavour to fulfil in a measure certain generous expectations that were expressed, I felt would be the best...

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents the first dedicated study of the British Yeomanry Cavalry, delving into the institution’s history from the cessation of hostilities with France in 1815 through to the eve of the First World War in 1914. This social history explores the Yeomanry’s composition and place within British society, as well as its controversial role in policing before and after Peterloo, and its unique contribution to the war in South Africa. Overturning or challenging many enduring myths and accepted truths, this book breaks new ground not just in our understanding of the Yeomanry, but the wider amateur military tradition.

Download or read book An Imperial War and the British Working Class written by Richard Price and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2006. This study looks at a time when Victorian Britain was a time for self-doubt. There was an increasing fear that the 'place in the sun' that had so long been hers was being shadowed by the rising powers of Germany and the United States of America. Doubts arouse about her economic strength, her military prowess, even the viability of the two-party system. The South African War of 1899-1902 served for a time as the focus for all the fears that many Britons had about their country's future. The patriotism it engendered was exaggerated by the early military failures to resolve the problem of the troublesome Boers. The focus of the text is on working-class attitudes and reactions to the Boer War 1899-1902.

This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memorializing the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 is a study of a group of memorials to soldiers who fought in a now nearly forgotten war, and deals with the many factors influencing why there was such an unprecedented number of memorials compared to those to previous conflicts like the Crimean War, fifty years earlier. One of the most important issues was the impact of changes in the organization of the British Army in the late 1800s, particularly the creation of locally-based regiments, heavily manned by volunteers drawn from local communities. The book includes a detailed commentary on the social conditions in England that also account for the unprecedented number of commemorations of this conflict. It discusses the variety of forms memorials took: informal – drinking fountains, ‘Spion Kop” stands at football stadiums; formal – stained glass windows, statues, etc., and the numerous and diverse places where they were located: cathedrals, town squares, public schools and universities. The growth of the national press and the rise of literacy is dealt with in detail, as well as the telegraph, whose invention meant that news became available overnight. Space is given to discuss the expression of Victorian prosperity in public works. The part played by the established church is well documented and an insight is given into the contribution of Imperialism, patriotism and jingoism. All these factors explain the motivation for the memorials’ creation. The book is illustrated with photographs and articles from newspapers of the day. Appendices cover those who are not commemorated, lost memorials, those who unveiled the memorials, colonial involvement and more. Memorializing the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 will appeal particularly to social historians and students of military and social history.
