Divisional Histories of the Great War 1914 - 1918

On 1st August 1914 there were six Regular and 14 Territorial Divisions in Great Britain and Ireland, all infantry (the Cavalry Division only came into existence on mobilization), and before the war had ended 70 more had been formed including a further two cavalry and a Royal Naval division.  These divisions were constituted as follows: Regular - 15 (incl three cavalry); Territorial/Yeomanry - 34 (incl six Yeomanry); New Army - 36 (of which six were broken up in April 1915 to create a training reserve); and five others, which included the RN Division, three Home Service divisions (71st, 72nd and 73rd), and a mixed British/Indian division (75th).  Of these divisions 69 served overseas in Theatres of War, three (TF) went to India and 18 never left the UK.  Those histories which were written were, naturally, about the divisions which went on active service; none of those that remained at home or went to India produced a history.  In all, 39 divisional histories were written and published between 1918 (10th division) and 1939 (50th) and it is interesting to see the breakdown by types of division: all 15 regular divisions were on active service and of these only seven produced histories (none of them cavalry); all 30 New Army divisions went to war and they produced 17 histories, to which we must add one more - (16th Irish) - which only appeared in 1992, a belated but very welcome tribute to the men of Southern Ireland who fought on the Western Front; 22 TF/Yeomanry divisions were in action and 14 of these wrote histories; and finally the RN Division recorded its service.  The cost of writing and publication had to be borne by donations and subscriptions which may well explain why, with their comparatively wealthy membership and their continued existence as divisions in the post war years the Territorial divisions came out so well.  Eleven of the original 14 TF divisions fought in one or more theatres of war and ten of these published histories.  The histories vary in scope, detail and length.  The Guards, 2nd and 62nd Divisions extend to two volumes, the 30th has only 64 pages.  Most, though not all, have photos and maps, and the standard of the latter also varies considerably, especially in the amount of operational detail shown.  Some histories are concerned only with a specific campaign or period of the war.  Thus the history of 10th (Irish) Division deals only with Gallipoli; 46th (N Midland), which carried out one of the finest operations of the war in crossing the St Quentin Canal and breaching the Hindenburg Line in Sept 1918, covers only the last three months.

The 1914 Star to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.  by W H Fevyer and J W Wilson.

The Royal Navy's entitlement to the 1914 Star was almost exclusively restricted to the RN Division though personnel from a few other minor units - including, for example, Sick Berth staff from HMS Pembroke - also qualified.  To qualify one had to have served in France / Belgium between 5th August and 22nd November 1914.  This splendid work of research lists all those who were entitled to the Star, battalion by battalion, unit by unit.  There is an excellent introduction giving the background to the formation of the RN Division and some of the arguments about RN entitlement to the star (the Admiralty was initially against it), and at the end there is a section devoted to the story of the Star from the Navy's viewpoint based on selected extracts from the Admiralty case file.  Here we can read correspondence between the King, Admiralty and the War Office, Fleet and Army Orders and Press releases.  A fascinating document which shows there is more to it than meets the eye in the creation of a campaign medal.

The Adventures of Serjeant Benjamin Miller, whilst serving in the 4th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Artillery 1796 to 1815. 

The author of these memoirs was born on 2 April 1776 and enlisted in the Royal Artillery on 9th December 1795 for 'unlimited service'.  He was promoted Bombardier in Oct 1804, Corporal in Feb 1809 and Sjt in Oct 1811.  He was discharged on 1st April 1815 with a pension of 1s 6l/2d a day; the soldier of 1914 was paid 1/- a day!.  He died at Melbury Osmund, in 1865 in his 88th year. His service took him first to Gibraltar April 1796 and two years later he was in the expedition to take Miinorca and subsequently returned to Gibraltar.  His next spell of active service was in Egypt where he arrived in 1801 and was soon in action against the French and describes the fighting vividly.  He was wounded in a French cavalry charge on the guns, cut with the sword in both legs; a counterattack by the Black Watch killed every Frenchman who had got into the battery.  This is a remarkable story of service in the army during the Napoleonic wars - in and out of battle.  He was in the Peninsula and took part in the retreat to Corunna, an interesting piece of history, as seen by a British soldier.

An interesting historical document containing the orders of the Government of India on the Dress of the Army in India, issued under the authority of Major-General W R Birdwood (just over two years later he would be commanding the Anzacs at Gallipoli).  These instructions were for the British Army in India as well as for the Indian Army and cover every aspect of dress for both officers and men, general dress and regimental dress, dress for personal appointments (eg equerry, ADC), instructions for wearing decorations and much more.  Descriptions of uniforms, facings, badges, and devices are given for all regiments.  The date of issue is January 1913 and so we see, paraded before us as it were, corps by corps, regiment by regiment the old Indian Army that went to war in 1914.

Art of Attack and the Development of Weapons.  by H S Cowper. (1906)

This most unusual book is subtitled Being a Study in the Development of weapons and Appliances of Offence from the Earliest Times to the Age of Gunpowder.  it surveys, in considerable detail and with numerous drawings and illustrations, the art and means of aggression developed by man beginning with the bare hand or fist and then the fist reinforced by such appliances as the cestus of Roman times and the knuckleduster of the more enlightened age.  From here it moves on to simple, unshafted, hand held weapons designed for bruising and ripping - clubs, stones etc.  The next stage is 'reinforcing the arm', the development of hafted weapons and attachment of weapon heads to shafts - the axe and adze type and the ball and thong such as the bola.  These are categorized as striking weapons.  Then come the pointed weapons - flint and metal daggers, spears, tridents and the like.  So we are taken on a stage by stage journey through the whole range of weaponry - grappling hooks, cutting weapons, throwing spears, javelins, harpoons, catapults, blowpipes and the means of throwing or discharging them.  The sheer variety of means of dealing aggressively with your opponent, when they are spelled out in detail, is remarkable, and there are many odd looking weapons illustrated.  In the detailed study and analysis of its subject this book can have no rival.

Biographia Navalis; or Impartial Memoirs of the Lives and Characters of Officers of the Navy of Great Britain.  From the Year 1660 to the Present Times.  by John Charnock (1797)

The only word to describe this work is monumental.  It is a record of the services of more than 2200 naval officers across a span of nearly 140 years, drawn from the most authentic sources (according to the title page) and disposed in a chronological arrangement.  Sometimes only one or two lines constitute the entry, at other times there are several pages (Earl St Vincent takes ten pages).  They are set out on a year by year basis, and within each year the names are arranged alphabetically.  Charnock intended this to be a four volume work but that wasn't enough (V and VI) and these were subtitled the First and Second Volumes of the Continuation.  Each of the six volumes has its own index.

The Book of the Machine Gun 1917. byLongstaff, Maj F V Atteridge, A Hilliard

This book is a very important text for any student of the development of the machine gun, and contains details of the history of this weapon from its inception to the mid point of the first World War.  The evolution of the machine gun is detailed, followed by examples of the use of the weapon in war, and particularly in the Russo-Japanese War.  Tactics are examined in detail, both from the historical point of view and tactics of the First World War, an important part of the book.  Training is covered, particularly from the British Army side, and the relevant chapter has much of great value in it.  Perhaps the most important part of the book however is the examination of the machine guns of the armies then at war.  There is in addition a complete chapter on machine guns in the German Army, which is of specific importance to any study of the tactics on the western front.  The book is illustrated with a series of good photographs and a number of line drawings of both early and current machine guns, and there is also a large scale drawing of the Vickers gun.

The Campaign of 1882 in Egypt.  by Colonel J F Maurice (1887)

Prepared in the Intelligence Branch of the War Office and originally published in 1887, this book gives a detailed account of the campaign, which was a rapid affair, commencing with the bombardment and subsequent occupation of Alexandria in July; the near defeat of the British advance force by the Egyptians at Kassassin, and terminating with the British victory at Tel-El-Kebir on September 13th 1882.  The eight appendices offer considerable reference material including: an alphabetical list of all British and Indian Army Officers engaged, with their services, honours, medals and decorations for the campaign.  Regimental lists of killed and wounded for all actions, a detailed Order of Battle.  Statement of troops (Regimentally) conveyed to Egypt and the Transports (named) in which they proceeded.  A further appendix has been added to the original text which contains a nominal roll of all ranks killed and wounded at the Battle of Tel-El-Kebir.  A short-lived, but lively, campaign.

The 6th Battalion, London Regiment, was raised in 1859 by the celebrated artist, Cruickshank, with the title 24th Battalion, Surrey Regiment, a unit of the Volunteer Corps formed in that same year.  Four years later the title was changed to the 48th Battalion, the Middlesex Regiment.  After another couple of changes the battalion became, in 1908 when the Territorial Force was created, the 6th (City of London) Battalion The London Regiment (City of London Rifles) - to give its full title.  At the outbreak of war the battalion was in the 2nd London Brigade, 1st London Division, and at the end of August a duplicate or second line battalion was formed, and the two battalions were named1/6th and 2/6th.  In November 1914 the 1/6th was transferred to 4th London Brigade, 2nd London Division, later 140th Brigade, 47th Division with which it remained till January 1918.  It landed in France in March 1915 and fought its first major action at Loos, and subsequently on the Somme, Messines, Third Ypres and Cambrai.  At the end of January 1918 the battalion was disbanded and some 260 officers and men joined the 2/6th, then in 174th Brigade, 58th Division, which now became 6th Battalion.  2/6th arrived in France in January 1917 with 58th Division and its first major action was at Bullecourt.   Later it took part in Third Ypres battles before absorbing a draft from the disbanded 1/6th and becoming 6th Battalion, which remained in 58th Division to the end of the war.  This history begins with the names of divisional and brigade commanders under whom the battalion served, followed by the Honours list where recipients are named except for Mention in Despatches where totals are given.  The early history of the battalion is then narrated and so to the Great War which takes up the bulk of the book.  In addition to details of actions fought, in each chapter emphasis has been placed on some particular aspect of military training or operations, such as communications between front and rear, transport difficulties, individual exploits and so on, while to facilitate reading, at the head of each page appears the number of the battalion being discussed.  The book ends with the Roll of Honour (1050 dead) and an index.

The Cape of Good Hope General Service Medal Roll 1880 - 1897. 

The medal, which was issued in silver only, was instituted in 1881.  Almost all of these medals were issued with one or more clasps, only about 10 being issued unclasped.  The reserve design shows the arms of Cape Colony.  Some 5,200 were issued in all for three risings, each commemorated by a clasp.  That for "Transkei", the rarest of the three, was awarded for operations during a small rising in Tembuland and Griqualand Eastin 1880-81.  The clasp for "Basutoland" was awarded for service in the more extensive operations in that area, several major engagements taking place.  The last clasp, that for "Bechuanaland", was awarded, after a lapse of 16 years from the first two clasps, for an uprising amongst several tribes.  The fighting took place in 1896-97, and it was only by the employment of considerable forces that the natives were defeated.  It is worth noting that, apart from 15 British troops, all the awards of this medal were to colonial units, many of which were small.  The total issue for each clasp is approximately: "Transkei" 1070, "Basutoland" 2150, "Bechuanaland" 2580.  Only 23 medals were issued with all three clasps and medals with two clasps are very scarce.  The naming is in thin, faint block capitals, and the ribbon is of dark blue with a central yellow stripe.

Diary of the 9th (Q.R.) Lancers During the South African Campaign 1899 to 1902.  by Lieut Col F F Colvin and Capt E R Gordon.  (1904)

The 9th Lancers were stationed in Muttra, India, in September 1899 when they were warned for service in S Africa where war with the Boers was imminent.  The Regiment sailed from Bombay on 24/25th September in three ships,  one of which encountered a fierce storm between Durban and Cape Town resulting in 83 horses and nine mules being killed or washed overboard.  This storm is vividly described, the carnage among the animals on deck was appalling as they were flung about among the wreckage of the wooden stables.  the contents are set out in diary form with dates in the margin against the narrative which covers all matters affecting the regiment - actions. casualties. reinforcements, extracts from Army, divisional etc orders and other correspondence, strength states, awards, all are duly noted.  The first entry is for 8th September 1899 when the Regiment was ordered to mobilize and prepare for active service and the final entry is for 9th April 1902 when the Regiment arrived back in India after some two and a half years on active service.  It saw plenty of action - at Kimberley, in the Transvaal and Orange Free State and River Colony; clasps to the Queen's South Africa Medal gained by the Regiment as a whole were: Belmont, Modder River, Releief of Kimberley, Paardeberg, Johannesburg, Diamond Hill and Witterbergen.  Casualty details are given at the end of the book, 225 in all of whom 45 died in action and 26 of disease or from accident.  There is also a complete list of officers who served with the Regiment during the campaign, a list Awards and Mentions in Despatches, and finally a record of distances covered - a total of 8,520 miles.

Complete Guide to the Hotchkiss Machine Gun.  by 'An Instructor' (1917)

The French designed Hotchkiss machine gun was officially adopted by the British Army as a light machine gun to serve alongside the Lewis gun.  However, the Lewis went to infantry units, whilst the Hotchkiss was issued to cavalry and armoured units.  This book is extremely well illustrated with photographs and line drawings, covering all aspects of the weapon.  The gun is described completely, and anyone who has read the pamphlet will be able to use a Hotchkiss gun.  The interesting feed mechanism is shown in the photographs as is the ammunition strip and its box.  Care and cleaning are prescribed so that the weapon remained able to fire under all conditions.  There is also detailed instruction on all possible stoppages and the immediate action to clear such problems.  An important section in this book gives a tactical insight into the use of the weapon as experienced during the First World War and shows how machine guns should be viewed in the mind of the user.

Gallantry.  by Sir Arnold Wilson and Capt J H F McEwen.

The dedication of this book will jolt the memories of those old enough to remeber 60 years back: it is to the crew of HM Submarine Thetis which sank with a loss of ninety-nine lives during acceptance trials in Liverpool Bay on 1st June 1939.  In this book the authors set out to summarize the existing practice of the State and of public and other bodies in this or other countries in rewarding acts of gallantry whether in peace or in war.  It is interesting that in discussing British gallantry awards they make a case for a Conspicuous Gallantry Cross to replace the DSC, MC and DFC as an award for officers of the three Services; this ward was actually instituted in 1995, but for all ranks of all three services, the first going to a corporal in Bosnia in May 1995.  After discussing the various military and civil gallantry awards the rest of the book, some 300 pages, is taken up, with lists of recipients - with full citations - of the Albert Medal; the Edward Medal; Empire Gallantry; Albert Medal for Sea Service (Admiralty awards) and Civilian Sea Service (Board of Trade awards); and Life Saving gallantry awards - all these from the first awards to the end of 1938.

The Meritorious Service Medal.  The immediate awards 1916 - 1928.  by Ian McInnes (1992)

Instituted in 1845 and first awarded in 1847, with an annuity, to reward specially selected long service NCOs, eligibility for the award was extended in 1916 to WOs, NCOs and Men but without entitlement to an annuity.  This unique work of reference not only lists the recipients of immediate awards between 1916 and 1928 but it also analyses the comparative rarity and therefore 'collectability' of any medal, which depends to a large extent on the numbers issued to a particular unit or theatre of operations.  Among nearly twenty appendices is a comprehensive analysis of awards to Corps and regiments by theatre.  A resume provides the reader with the changing history of the award, and some 1200 footnotes include citations both for gallantry and valuable service, and point out highlights of MSM groups seen and identified.  A remarkable piece of research.

The Distinguished Service Order. 6th September 1886 to 31st December 1915. by O'Moore Creagh and E M Humphris (1924)

The DSO was instituted on 6th September 1886, and the Bar to the Order on 23rd August 1916.  This book provides a complete record of the recipients of the DSO from its institution in September 1886 to 31st December 1915 with descriptions of the deeds and services for which the awards were given and with many biographical and other details.  It was compiled from official publications (including LG citation) and despatches, letters from commanding officers and other contemporary accounts and from private sources.  There are photos of a large number of the recipients, including the earliest.  The book opens with the Statutes of the Order including the original promulgation and the Statutes promulgated on 1st April 1918 by command of George V in which all previous rules and ordnances were "abrogated, cancelled and annulled" and new rules and regulations governing the Order were introduced.  The first recipient of the DSO was HM Queen Victoria.  This book takes us up to the end of 1915 and the wording of the citations are included in the biographical details.  Finally there is an index of names.  This is another remarkable piece of research.

The Distinguished Service Order.  1st January 1916 to the 12th June 1923.  by O'Moore Creagh and E M Humphris.  (1924)

This volume continues the story of the DSO from January 1916 to the middle of 1923 but the layout is different.  The first 195 pages are taken up with the appointments and services as gazetted from 1st January 1916 to the 12th June 1923 including all the awards made during the same peiod, of Bars to the DSOs.  The London Gazette extracts are arranged chronologically.  The remainder of the book constitutes the index of names of the recipients of the award giving biographical details, some very brief, of the recipient with the date of the LG notifying the award, but not the citation.  For that piece of information the reader must look back among the LG extracts in the first part of the book for the particular LG and there he will find the name of the recipient and the citation.  There are fewer photos of recipients in part II than in part I.  Parts I and II have been published in a single version in 1978.

Dress Regulations (India) 1931.  by Government of India.

The Kitchener reforms of 1903 resulted in the Indian Army that went to war in 1914, and this reorganized army is the one covered by the Dress Regulations of 1913, the last to describe full dress.  After the Great War there was another change during 1921 - 3 in which the 39 cavalry regiments were reduced to 21 and the 130 infantry regiments became battalions of 20 new regiments, and this was the Indian Army that went to war in 1939, less the 20th Burma Rifles which was transferred to Burma Service in 1937.  These regulations define the sealed patterns of dress, clothing, equipment and badges; commanding officers were forbidde3n to introduce or to sanction any deviation.  Full dress uniform does not feature, but officers who possessed the pre 19-14 pattern were authorised to wear it when not on duty with troops who were no longer issued with it.  All the new regiments are covered in this book.

Field Service Pocket Book 1914.  by War Office August 1914

This pamphlet was issued by the British War Office to all senior NCOs, warrant officers and officers.  It details many aspects of the British military art, starting with the war establishments of the British Army (Cavalry and Infantry Divisions and ancillary units) and then continues with the Indian Army.  The pamphlet now gets down to the everyday items of military conduct in the field, and lays down the regulations and guidelines for marches, quarters in the field, camp cooking, sanitation and water supply.  There are further chapters on orders and the means of communication of orders, plus overseas operations and map reading and field sketching (the intelligence functions).  Field engineering is dealt with and tools and explosives described, together with defensive systems, obstacles, and working parties.  The minutiae of engineering is also covered with knots, blocks and tackles, bridging and bridging expedients and demolitions being laid down.  Transport is covered in Chapter V, including convoys and movements by rail and sea.  Chapter VI deals with small arms and guns, the supply of ammunition, rations and fuel, together with their storage.  Pay, clothing and field equipment is detailed, and so too is office work, discipline and courts martial.  Added to this is a chapter on the army in India and other overseas dominions, and details of foreign armies.  Added are tables of comparison of such diverse matters as weights and measures (British and Indian), aeronautical terms and billeting orders.  This pamphlet gives a remarkably detailed picture of everyday rules and regulations governing the British and Indian armies at the midpoint of the First World War and is particularly recommended to all students of this period.

The Fighting Cock : Being the History of the 23rd Indian Division, 1942 - 1947.  by Lieut Col A J F Doulton (1951)

This division first saw light in Jhansi on 1st January 1942, under the command of Major-Generaql R A Savory who had come from the 4th Indian Division in which he had been a brigade commander at Sidi Barrani and Keren (Eritrea).  At first there were virtually no troops but gradually the brigades began to assemble - 1st, 37th, and 49th, all of which would remain to the end of the war.  Apart from the presence of the 82nd ATk Regt for a brief period in the very early days, the only British units to serve in the division were 158th Field Regiment RA and 1st Seaforths.  In May the division took up station on the frontiers of Assam and Burma, the only force between the Japanese and India.  The GOC's operation order included the intention : "23 Ind Div will (a) stop the Japanese invading INDIA, and (b0 defeat them if they do."  For the next two years and three months the division fought in the jungles of Burma and for all but five months of that time they were front line troops.  They went through the length of Burma finishing up near Rangoon and in August 1944 they were withdrawn and sent back to India.  Casualties totalled 2.910 of whom 605 were killed in action.  A year later, just after VJ-Day, they were sent to Malaya and from there to Java to restore order in the Dutch colony and hand it back to the Netherlands.  They were engaged in fighting the Indonesian rebels for more than a year, suffering a further 1,377 casualties, 407 of them killed and 162 missing.  Summary of Honours and Awards and index.  This is a good history which describes vividly the atmosphere of jungle fighting and the savage resistance of the Japanese soldier.  On page xvi the author explains the Indian Army ranks and shows the Subedar-Major under the NCO group.  This is wrong.  The Subedar-Major was the senior Viceroy's Commissioned Officer in the battalion.

For Conspicuous Gallantry.  The Register of the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal 1855 - 1992.  compiled by Phil McDermott. (1998)

The Conspicuous Gallantry Medal (CGM) was instituted in 1855 as the naval counterpart of the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) which had been introduced the year before, but for which men of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines were not eligible.  Both pre dated the VC (1856).  Thus, until the appearance of the CGM there was no way of recognising gallant and distinguished service by sailors and marines.  The initial medal was the Royal Marine Meritorious Service Medal but with the words "For Meritorious Service" on the reverse altered to read "For Conspicuous Gallantry".  Twelve of these original medals were awarded to eleven recipients; Able Seaman D Barry received two.  After the Crimea the medal fell into disuse.  It was revived for the Ashantee War of 1873 - 1874 and subsequent wars and campaigns.  In 1921 the ribbon was changed from three equal stripes blue, white, blue, to white with dark blue edges to avoid any confusion with the DSC which also had the same three stripes though with a darker blue.  In 1942 came the final change in the CGM's history when eligibility was extended to Army and RAF personnel for gallantry whilst flying in active operations against the enemy, this in addition to the Distinguished Flying Medal.  The CGM (Flying) medal remained the same but with a different ribbon of light blue with dark blue edges.  In 1995 the DCM and both the CGMs were replaced by the new Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.  This book is in two sections : the CGM and the CGM(Flying) with the names of recipients of each medal arranged in alphabetical order along with any citations.

The Gloucestershire Regiment in the War 1914 - 1918.  by Everard Wyrall (1931)

As the subtitle states these are the records of the 1st (28th Foot), 2nd (61st Foot), 3rd (Special Reserve) and 4th, 5th and 6th (First Line T.A.) Battalions, in other words this is the history of the battalions of the regiment which existed prior to the outbreak of war.  The one appendix lists the twenty-four battalions that existed during the war, indicating the theatre of war in which they served and in which division.  Eight of these battalions did not serve overseas, and of the rest only one (7th Service Battalion) did not serve on the Western Front, it went with 13th Division to Gallipoli, Mesopotamia and Persia.  Total losses amounted to 8,100, 72 battle honours were awarded and in the appendix is shown which honours were awarded to which battalion, information not seen in any other Great War regimental history; and four VCs were won but only one of them by one of the battalions covered in this book.  In August 1914 the 1st Battalion was stationed in Bordon, part of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, 1st Division, and was among the first British troops to disembark in Le Havre, on 13th August.  The first quarter of this book is concerned with the doings of the 1st Battalion which saw action in the early battles of the war - Mons and the retreat, the Marne, the Aisne, First Ypres and Givenchy.  The 2nd Battalion was in China when war broke out and came home to join the newly formed 81st Brigade, 27th Division which arrived in France in December 1914 and in November 1915 was transferred to Salonika, where it remained for the rest of the war.  Three chapters of the book deal with the operations in that theatre of war.  The three Territorial battalions were in the South Midland Division, later the 48th which crossed to France at the end of March 1915 and fought on the Western Front till November 1917, when it was sent to Italy where it remained till the armistice.  The final chapter gives the account of operations in that theatre.  The author, a well known military historian, was probably the most prolific among the writers of regimental and divisional histories, some thirteen in all, and this account reflects the skill of the writer in producing a very readable narrative, which draws on the Battalion Diary, on individual accounts of actions, some quite lengthy, and makes use of footnotes to give casualty details in addition to those contained in the text, various comments, and items of information from other sources to confirm or add to the main text.  The maps are good.  There is no Roll of Honour nor list of honours and awards.

 Historical Record of the 14th (King's) Hussars 1900 - 1922. by Brig J Gilbert Browne and Lieut Col E J Bridges.  Edited by Major A T Millet.  (1932)

This is the second volume of the regimental history, which begins at the start of the south African War, the end of which is where the first volume finishes; thus there is an overlap.  The reason for this is that the war was still being fought when the Regiment's record in it was written, and by the time this present volume was written many facts and details had come to light which could not be obtained for inclusion in the earlier volume.  This account ends with the amalgamation of the Regiment with the 20th Hussars in 1922, a year that saw the disappearance of a number of cavalry regiments in a series of amalgamations; 1922 was to the cavalry what 1870 and Cardwell had been to the infantry.  The dedication is not only to the 14th Hussars who gave their lives during the Great War but also "to the Horses which carried the Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Regiment so gallantly".  This is a superb history, full of detail, not just about battles and engagements (plenty of them) but also about life on a cavalry regiment in peacetime in those years so long ago.  Much of it has been contributed by officers and warrant officers who are introduced in the preface with details of their contributions.  Most of the book is concerned with the S African War and the Great War but there is plenty about peacetime soldiering at home and in India where the Regiment was in 1914 and from where they went to Mesopotamia in November 1915 joining the 6th (Indian) Cavalry Brigade.  In January 1918 the Regiment was detached from the Brigade and sent to Persia where they stayed for the rest of the war, returning to Mesopotamia at the end of the year.  The Regiment arrived back in England in April 1919 nearly thirteen years after sailing for India.  There are twenty-five appendices containing a wealth of information about the 14th Hussars : changes in establishment; Roll of Honour of officer for S African and Great War and of NCOs and Men for the Great War; Honours and awards for both wars; succession of Colonels of the Regiment, COs, Adjutants and WOs since 1900; service records of Colonels and Lt Cols 1900 - 1922 showing officers who served - and much else besides.  Unusually the contents are shown not as a series of chapters but as a chronology, year by year with headings for every significant event.  And finally there is a good index.

Historical Record of the Fifty-Second Regiment (Oxfordshire Light Infantry) From the Year 1755 to the Year 1858.  Compiled under the Dircetion of the Committee and edited by W S Moorsom, late Captain. (1860)

The Oxfordshire Light Infantry was one of a number of infantry regiments raised on the eve of the Seven Years War (1756 - 1763) and initially numbered 54th Foot; two years later, in 1757, it was renumbered 52nd.  In 1782 the line regiments were given territorial affiliations and the 52nd became the 52nd (Oxfordshire) Regt of Foot.  In 1803 it was designated Light Infantry and its title changed accordingly to that shown in the title of this history.  During the hundred years or so covered in this historical record the regiment served in Canada, America, India (before and during the Mutiny), Ceylon, the Peninsula, France and the Netherlands.  The first ten years were spent in England and Ireland till, in 1765 the regiment sailed for Canada.  It took part in the American War of Independence in which it suffered considerable casualties and finally returned to England at the end of 1778.  There followed a spell of fifteen years in India during which it was involved in the Mysore War against Tippoo Sahib.  From 1808 to 1814 the regiment was heavily engaged in the Peninsular War, of the twenty-three battle honours awarded during that campaign the Oxfordshires received thirteen and their losses amounted to 1,629 according to the casualty tables shown in the book.  It was at Waterloo where it distinguished itself in its flank attack against the advancing Imperial Guard (The Old Guard) as it closed with the British Guards Brigade.  The record closes with the return of the regiment from a second spell in India during which it was in action during the Indian Mutiny.  This book is set out on a year-by-year basis; there are no chapters, just date headings starting from 1755 with the narrative describing all the events involving the regiment in that year.  Some are very short, as , for example 1781: "The 52nd regiment, in 1781, were encamped at Rye.".  Other years, such as the years of the Peninsular War, are full of detail, running into many pages and include correspondence, divisional orders, extracts from despatches and so forth.  Casualty details appear in the text, officers named and sometimes non-commissioned ranks.  An appendix provides biographical notes on a number of officers and on a few non-commissioned officers, indicating where they are mentioned in the text, as in an index.  Unfortunately there is no separate index, and as there is no contents list or chapter headings, it is not always easy to find a particular action or event - unless you already know the date.

Historical Record of the Forty-Fourth, or the East Essex Regiment of Foot.  by Thomas Carter, Adjutant General's Office (1864)

This history covers the period from the formation of the regiment in 1741 to its linking with the West Essex (56th Foot) in 1881, when it became the 1st Battalion the Essex Regiment.  The East Essex began life as 55th Foot but in 1748 it was renumbered 44th, and this history is presented as a chronology, a year-by-year record of the regiment's services.  There are no chapters; the list of contents form a diary showing principal events in each year, some years far more eventful than others.  The narrative shows in the margin of each page the year in which the events being described took place, beginning with 1741 and the raising of the regiment, and finishing in 1881.  In 1803 a second battalion was formed but disbanded in 1816 after Waterloo in which battle it fought as well as in several battles of the Peninsular War.  The 1st Battalion, meanwhile, was fighting on the other side of the Atlantic in the war against the United States.  There is plenty of detail in this history, one incident at Waterloo making unpleasant reading.  Ensign Christie (not long promoted from Sergeant-Major) was carrying one of the colours when he was charged by a French Lancer and severely wounded by a lance thrust that entered his left eye and penetrated to the lower jaw; despite the agony of his wound he still managed to frustrate the Frenchman's efforts to make off with the colour.  From time to time names of officers present for duty are listed and the other rank strength.  The regiment took part in the Crimean War, in the campaigns in Burma and in Afghanistan (1841/42) where, in the retreat from Kabul the regiment lost 22 and officers and 632 other ranks killed (out of a total of 684); it also took part in the China War 1860 (Taku Forts).  Of the sixty years from 1822 to 1881 the regiment was abroad for fifty.  Appendices list the succession of Colonels of the regiment and commanding officers, in the latter case giving brief notes on service details.  They also provide the number, rank and name of all those soldiers who served in the trenches before Sebastopol throughout the siege, of those who were in the Crimea the whole time, and those who distinguished themselves in the Crimea and in China.

History of the 12th (The Suffolk Regiment)  1685 - 1913.  by Lieut Col E A H Webb (1914)

King James II came to the throne in 1685 and was immediately faced with threats of rebellion by the Dukes of Monmouth and Argyll which necessitated an increase in the regular to meet them.  Accordingly additional cavalry and infantry regiments were raised including the Suffolk, which formed at Norwich as the Duke of Norfolk's Regiment of Foot.  The title then changed with the Colonel's name till 1751 when Foot numbers were introduced and the regiment became 12th Foot, adding East Suffolk in 1782 and finally, in 1881, became the Suffolk Regiment.  This is a very detailed history by an experienced author who observes that he was much assisted by the wealth of personal diaries, journal and varied reminiscences of the old 12th, probably more than possessed by any other regiment, all of which were put at his disposal, and have been put to good use.  There are one or two informative appendices, such as the succession of COs and Adjutants and a chapter on uniform, equipment and the Colours.  Following the accession of William and Mary to the throne (1688) the Regiment was sent to Ireland to fight the rebels supporting ex-King James and took part in the Battle of the Boyne.  In 1743 the 12th Foot gained its first battle honour, Dettingen, the last occasion on which the British sovereign led his troops into battle.  Six years later they were one of the six infantry regiments at Minden, one of the great victories over the French, which is still celebrated today by the six regiments (or their descendants) with a ceremonial parade in which the drums parade garlanded with roses and personnel wear a rose in their headgear.  The regimental cap badge of a castle superscribed 'Gibraltar' reflects their defence of the Rock during the four year siege 1779 - 1783.  During the almost 230 years covered by this history the Suffolks served in India (Seringapatam is a principal battle honour), in Africa during the Kaffir and Boer Wars, in New Zealand in the Maori War, on the NW Frontier in the 2nd Afghan War, in the West Indies and Mauritius.  Colour plates depict uniforms, battle scenes and the Colours in 1686 and 1849 (1st Bn)

The History of the 15th The King's Hussars 1914 - 1922.  by Lord Carnock (1932)

In August 1914 the organisation of the infantry division called for a reconnaissance element which was provided by a squadron of cavalry, and it was the role of the 15th Hussars (15 H) to provide that squadron for each of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions.  The other three divisions of the original BEF were served by squadrons of the 19th Hussars and so it may seem appropriate that when, in 1922, the number of cavalry regiments were reduced by amalgamations, the 15th combined with the 19th to form a new regiment - the 15th/19th Hussars.  When war came in 1914, 15 H had been back in England nearly two year after an overseas tour of fourteen years, and by 18th August the three squadrons were in France with their divisions.  The first four chapters describe the involvement of the squadrons in the early fighting - Mons and the retreat, Marne, Aisne and Ypres.  In April 1915 the regiment was re-formed as a single unit and posted to the newly formed 9th Cavalry Brigade in 1st Cavalry Division (as was 19 H); their places in the three infantry divisions were taken by Yeomanry.  For the rest of the war the Regiment remained in the 9th Brigade, 3rd Cavalry Division, on the Western Front and fought in many actions as twenty-three Battle Honours testify.  They were awarded one of the earliest VCs to be won, Cpl Garforth.  There are five appendices, one of them is a diary of marches, billets and bivouacs of the regiment from 37th July 1914 to 6th September 1919 and another most useful one gives the strengths of the Regiment (officers and other ranks) on various dates between 29th April 1915 and 31st March 1921; figures are also given for riding, draught and pack horses and mules.  The casualty lists show not only fatalities but also wounded, identifying those wounded more than once, and those missing.  There is a list of officers of the Regiment and attached officers who served between 1914 and 1922, and a list of NCOs and men who were commissioned during the war.  There is an index.

A History of the 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridges Own),  by Hon J W Fortescue  ( 1895)

According to the dedication the Regiment was raised in 1759 in honour of general Wolfe who, in that same year, had died in the moment of victory over the French of wounds received at Quebec on the Plains of Abraham.  This history takes the story of the 17th Lancers from 1759 to 1894.  Originally designated 18th Light Dragoons the number was changed to 17th in 1763, to 3rd three years later and back to 17th three years after that.  Finally, in 1822 the designation 'Light Dragoons' was changed to 'Lancers'.  For the first fifteen or so years of its existence the Regiment served at home, six years of that time in Ireland from where, in 1775, they embarked for Boston, the first cavalry regiment selected for service in America and where it first saw action in the War of Independence.  Eight years later, in 1783, the Regiment returned to Ireland.  There followed a short spell (two years) in the West Indies and in 1806/07 the Regiment took part in the ill-fated expedition to S America.  They hardly got back from S America (January 1808) when they were sent off to India (February 1808) where they served for the next fifteen years during which time they saw action in the Pindari War which lasted some two years.  During its time in India the 17th, which arrived in Calcutta in 1808 790 strong, lost 26 officers and 796 men from disease and climatic conditions alone while it had received 929 officers and men in the same period.  The next major campaign was the Crimea in which the Regiment took part in the famous charge of the Light Brigade; three VCs were awarded for gallantry during the campaign.  The Regiment arrived back in Ireland in May 1856 and in November the following year it sailed for India among the reinforcements sent out in response to the crisis caused by the Indian Mutiny; another VC was won.  Apart from the descriptions of the Regiment in action there is a good deal of domestic interest such as rates of pay, clothing scales, ration scales and two excellent appendices to close the record: one is a complete list of officers shown on a year by year basis from 1759 to 1894, the other is the itinerary of the Regiment from 1759.

History of the 6th Cavalry Brigade 1914 - 1919.  by Lt J B Bickersteth (1920)

The 6th Cavalry Brigade (6 Cav Bde) began to form in England on 19 September 1914; part of the new 3rd Cavalry Division.  The first two regiments to join were the 1st R Dragoons (1D) and the 10th R Hussars (10H), both from S Africa where they were stationed when war broke out, and they constituted the brigade when it embarked for France during the first week in October 1914.  The following month they were joined by 3rd Dragoon Guards (3DG) and ten days later by the North Somerset Yeomanry (N Som Yeo).  After about a week 10H were transferred to 8th Cavalry Brigade in the same division, and from then for over three years 3DG, 1D and N Som Yeo constituted 6 Cav Bde.  In March 1918, shortly before the German offensive N Som Yeo were withdrawn and converted to a MG role; they were replaced by 10H.  The brigade saw a great deal of fighting both mounted and dismounted - First and Second Ypres, Loos, Arras, Epehy, the March offensive in which heavy casualties resulted in the N Som Yeo being returned to the brigade, back in the mounted role, as reinforcements.  The regiment was broken up and personnel distributed among the other regiments in the brigade which took part in the advance to victory, the Hindenburg Line fighting and the final advance.  In his introduction the author states that the book is a simple, unvarnished narrative of the chief events in the history of the brigade, a record that does not include personal anecdotes such as may be seen in regimental histories.  Although there is no Roll of Honour nor list of awards, the narrative has plenty of references to casualties (officers named), postings in and out, appointments to the staff and changes in command but no mention of awards or decorations other than the one VC, a posthumous award to 2 Lt J S Dunville, 1D, for which the citation is given in full.  The five photos are portraits of the five brigade commanders; the maps are very clear and informative.

The History of the Norfolk Regiment 4th August 1914 to 31st December 1918.  by F Loraine Petre.

The Norfolk Regiment (9th Foot) entered the war with two regular, one reserve and three TF battalions (one of the latter, the 6th, was a cyclist battalion); by the end the number had grown to nineteen of which eight went on active service whose losses in dead numbered 5,576.  The total number of men raised during the war amounted to 32,375.  Seventy battle honours and one VC were awarded, the VC going to Lt Col Sherwood-Kelly while commanding 1st R Inniskilling Fusiliers.  The 1st Battalion (apart from a short spell in Italy with the 5th Division), 7th, 8th, 9th served on the Western Front; the 2nd fought in Mesopotamia only and was captured at Kut al Amara in April 1916; the 4th and 5th were at Gallipoli, in Egypt and in Palestine while what became of the 12th Battalion (converted Norfolk Yeomanry) went to Gallipoli, Egypt, Palestine and finally France and Belgium for the last few months of the war.  In the introduction there is a most useful table showing when and where the 1st, 7th, 8th and 9th Battalions were located on a month by month basis.  The accounts of the doings of several battalions are based mainly on their War Diaries and those of the brigade and division to which they belonged.  To supplement these the author has in some cases had personal reminiscences though not as many as hoped.  Each battalion is dealt with separately apart from the TF 4th and 5th which are taken together while a variety of Appendices contain information such as succession of colonels and COs with biographical notes, roll of honour of officers, uniforms, arms and badges, Colours and Battle Honours and other regimental and traditional items.

The Indian Corps, which consisted of two infantry divisions (Meerut and Lahore), arrived in France in September/ October 1914.  It was commanded by Lieutenant General Sir James Wilcocks who was the most senior officer in the BEF after FM French and General Smith Dorrien.  The corps remained on the Western Front till the end of 1915 when it was transferred to the Middle East, a far more suitable theatre of war for Indian Army Troops.  This history was published at the request and under the authority of the India Office, and apart from General Wilcock's own memoirs with the Indians in France, it is the only record of the corps.  It is not altogether a happy tale for various reasons as the book make clear.  While there was no questioning the bravery of the troops (five Indian/Gurkha VCs) there were problems of climate, reinforcements, officer casualties (the Indian Battalion had only 13 British officers who were first priority targets for the Germans), not to speak of mishandling and lack of understanding on the part of the High Command.  Total casualties among Indian Army units amounted to 21,413 (each division had, initially, three British battalions and divisional artillery was British).  This is a very interesting story.
