Book excerpt: Excerpt from University of Toronto Roll of Service, 1914-1918 For the past five years Professor G. Oswald Smith has given most careful and helpful attention to the records of those of the graduates and undergraduates who served in the Great War. He has applied at every source where he thought most accurate information might be got, with the result that the Roll of Service, as it is now issued in final form, must be as accurate as earnest investigation can make it. It is a task which could only have been adequately performed by pious care. The record also will be kept and read with almost sacred regard by the friends of those who have fallen and who offered their lives for the cause of freedom. Future generations of graduates and undergraduates of this University will turn to this perpetual memorial. An outline is given of the different war activities in which the University was engaged during this period. This will recall to many the work in which they had a share, and will let those who come after us know how we sought to do our part in the War.

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.

Download or read book Roll of Service 1914 15 16 written by University of Sheffield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roll of Service, 1914-15-16: January, 1916 Colleges, have served their country in 'the present war either in the Army or in the Navy. The Roll is divided into four sections. The first includes the names of Members of the Council, Members of the Teaching Staff (present or past), Graduates of the University, and men who have at any time been Day-students of the University or of University College. The second section is devoted to Evening students and Mining-students of the Applied Science Faculty who have not been, in the strict sense, members of the Uni versity; the third to Laboratory-assistants; the fourth to men who without other connexion with the University have gained commissions in the army from the University o.t.c. In spite Of the help given him in many quarters, for which he returns his grateful thanks, the Editor knows that the R011 as now issued must contain many errors and omissions, and every month that passes will naturally increase the crop. He looks forward, however, to bringing out a revised edition in six months time, and will be grateful to all his readers who furnish corrections and additional information. These should be addressed to the editor OF the roll OF service, the university, sheffield. Although it has been found expedient to limit the R011 at present to men serving in the Army and Navy, it is not forgotten that many members of the University are doing strenuous war service of no less useful sort in munition works and in other situations. Many women-graduates and students are also undertaking special work for the country at this time. NO Roll of Service can be considered complete which does not contain these names, and the Editor will be glad to receive information of such work in view of a record in the future.

Download or read book Colour Coded written by Constance Backhouse and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1999-11-20 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically Canadians have considered themselves to be more or less free of racial prejudice. Although this conception has been challenged in recent years, it has not been completely dispelled. In Colour-Coded, Constance Backhouse illustrates the tenacious hold that white supremacy had on our legal system in the first half of this century, and underscores the damaging legacy of inequality that continues today. Backhouse presents detailed narratives of six court cases, each giving evidence of blatant racism created and enforced through law. The cases focus on Aboriginal, Inuit, Chinese-Canadian, and African-Canadian individuals, taking us from the criminal prosecution of traditional Aboriginal dance to the trial of members of the 'Ku Klux Klan of Kanada.' From thousands of possibilities, Backhouse has selected studies that constitute central moments in the legal history of race in Canada. Her selection also considers a wide range of legal forums, including administrative rulings by municipal councils, criminal trials before police magistrates, and criminal and civil cases heard by the highest courts in the provinces and by the Supreme Court of Canada. The extensive and detailed documentation presented here leaves no doubt that the Canadian legal system played a dominant role in creating and preserving racial discrimination. A central message of this book is that racism is deeply embedded in Canadian history despite Canada's reputation as a raceless society.

Download or read book War Surgery 1914 18 written by Steven Heys and published by Helion. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating study of war surgery in World War I, where huge medical developments were made and the foundations of modern war surgery were laid World War I resulted in an enormous number of casualties who had sustained filthy contaminated wounds from high explosive shellfire, bomb and mortar blast, and from rifle and machine gun bullets. Such wounds were frequently multiple and severe, and almost invariably became infected. Surgical experience from previous conflicts was of little value, and it became quickly apparent that early surgical intervention with radical removal of all dead and revitalised tissue was absolutely vital to help reduce the chances of infections, especially the lethal gas gangrene, from developing. War Surgery 1914-18 explains how medical services responded to deal with the casualties. It discusses the evacuation pathway, and explains how facilities, particularly casualty clearing stations, evolved to cope with major, multiple wounds to help reduce mortality. There are chapters dealing with the advances made in anaesthesia, resuscitation and blood transfusion, the pathology and microbiology of wounding and diagnostic radiology. There are also chapters dealing with the development of orthopaedic surgery, both on the Western Front and in the United Kingdom, the treatment of abdominal wounds, chest wounds, wounds of the skull and brain, and the development of plastic and reconstructive surgery for those with terribly mutilating facial wounds. War Surgery 1914-18 contributes greatly to our understanding of the surgery of warfare. Surgeons working in Casualty Clearing Stations during the years 1914-1918 laid the foundations for modern war surgery as practised today in Afghanistan and elsewhere."--Publisher.
