Abstract:

Besides the combat-arms assets, the rapid troops of the Royal Hungarian Defence Forces also had field artillery (light howitzers), air defence artillery and anti-tank guns. The order of battle of the motorised units required the existence of one (after the autumn of 1941, two) artillery battalion(s) with vehicle-drawn assets for providing combat support. The motorised artillery battalions initially had four batteries with light howitzers, while the armoured divisions had two motorised artillery battalions. There were two artillery battalions with four (six) batteries in the mobilised organisation of the cavalry brigades (division). For ensuring defence against air attacks, vehicle-drawn air defence artillery battalions were introduced in the armoured divisions and the 1st Cavalry Division with one light and one heavy battery. Against tank attacks, there were 4–6 anti-tank guns in service used by each of the anti-tank companies of the infantry and reconnaissance battalions (in the motorised rifle brigades and hussar regiments of the armoured divisions) and the 1st Cavalry Division.

Abstract:

The rocky peninsula of Gibraltar juts south from Spain at the western entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. Long famous as a landmark, it was ceded to Great Britain by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, and progressively developed as a naval and military base. Thomas James, a Royal Artillery officer stationed on Gibraltar from 1749 to 1755, was the first member of the British garrison to publish geological observations on the Rock, within a book of 1771 completed in New York. His military career culminated after active service against revolutionary Americans, finally in the rank of major-general, but with no further known contributions to geology. The Scotsman Ninian Imrie of Denmuir, an officer of the First Regiment of Foot (The Royal Scots), served on Gibraltar within the period 1784 to 1793, and was the first to publish an account specifically on its geology, in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1798. A career soldier, he achieved the rank of lieutenant-colonel before retiring to Scotland, and to amateur geological studies influenced by active membership of Edinburgh's Wernerian Natural History Society. James Smith of Jordanhill, near Glasgow, served in Great Britain in the Renfrewshire Militia during the Napoleonic Wars but, benefiting from a family fortune, later spent much time as a yachtsman and scholar of wide interests and influence. His studies on Gibraltar, published by the Geological Society of London in 1846, were the first to attempt a tectonic interpretation of the Rock's geological history, and to record local evidence for Quaternary sea level change.

Abstract:

Characteristics of graphic sources on the history of the Church of Zechariah and Elizabeth are given, a collection of graphic materials on the history of the Church of the Cavalry Regiment in St. Petersburg from the archives of the Military-Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineer and Signal Corps (MHMAEandSC) is described and attributed. The purpose of the research is to identify and study a complex of pictorial sources on the history of the chevalier guard church from the collection of the Military-Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineer and Signal Corps archive. The iconography of the Church of the Chevalier Guard Regiment has 40 items, 36 of which are graphic materials, and the rest is fragmentary photographs. Graphic materials on the history of the Church of Zechariah and Elizabeth of the Chevalier Guard Regiment in the amount of 32 units are kept in the archives of Military-Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineer and Signal Corps. The methodological basis of the research is based on the principles of objectivity, historicism, systematic scientific analysis based on the scientific method of cognition, includes general historical research methods, the iconographic method is applied. The research is devoted to the description of the materials of the Military-Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineer and Signal Corps archive collection. Part of the collection of drawings and plans are pencil plans without attribution or dating, and some, copied and supplemented, refer to an earlier construction. Attribution of such graphic materials is rather difficult and is possible only with the involvement of the entire complex of graphic and written sources. The collection of graphic materials on the history of the Church of the Cavalry Regiment from the Military-Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineer and Signal Corps archive is unique. Thanks to the so-called “L. Benois collection”, which contains drawings of the regimental church for 1897–1898, we can reconstruct in detail the features of the internal and external interior.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes three questions concerning the Royal Artillery at the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse: how many artillery pieces were used during the battle, which units were employed, and what role the Royal Artillery played in relationship to its parent organizations, the British Army and the British Board of Ordnance. Each of these topics have been seldom discussed, especially in connection to the narrative of the Battle of Monmouth. It is hoped that these inquiries can provide some clarity on the Royal Artillery’s part in the battle, and might spark new efforts of research by future scholars of the American Revolutionary War. In examining these points, careful attention was made in discussing the overall structure of the Royal Artillery and offering a comparison/contrast with its opponent: the Continental Artillery. The main primary source consulted in this discussion was the official Papers of Brigadier-General James Pattison, commander of Royal Artillery forces in North America. These research endeavors resulted in a concrete number of guns used during the Monmouth campaign, some strong indications for the particular units employed, as well as some new insights concerning the traditional interpretation of the battle that may require future analysis.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to analyze the artillery of Novosil between 1667 and 1696, according to annual estimates. Both general scientific and historical research methods are used. It is stressed that according to an-nual estimates the state of the artillery park of one of the cities of the Belgorod regiment «in the line» – Novo-sil is reconstructed for the first time. The dynamics of its changes during the last third of the 17th century is determined. The number of Novosil artillery systems in 1667, 1676, 1682, 1684 and 1696 is revealed and their classification is given. Variants of calibers and lengths of gun barrels and the number of each of the variants are revealed, as well as distinctive features of some guns such as: functions, characteristics and inscriptions on the barrels. In addition, the order of placement of artillery systems on towers and in the fortress is estab-lished. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that the artillery park of Novosil in the last third of the 17th century underwent two changes in its composition: between 1676 and 1682 and between 1684 and 1985. However, despite this, throughout the period under study, the fortress was armed mainly with small-caliber artillery of various types.

Abstract:

This article studies the selection of cadets in the Military College of Gentlemen Cadets of the Royal Corps of Artillery (Colegio Militar de Caballeros Cadetes del Real Cuerpo de Artillería) of Segovia, from its opening in 1764 to the beginning of the Peninsular War in 1808. As a product of the Enlightenment, this college was concerned with excellent teaching, but it also accepted the pre-eminence of the nobility. Although its academic excellence was based on rigorous instruction in mathematics, applicants did not have to demonstrate any previous knowledge for entry. Nobility was the sole selection criterion; college admission was limited to sons of noble families, who had to provide written proof of their noble origins. As the college’s success attracted growing numbers potential candidates, selection became a serious problem. The college’s regulations gave priority to the sons of officers of artillery, but in practice, sons of the low nobility (hijosdalgo) with good contacts at court overtook the other candidates by obtaining special priority from the king. To place this question in context, the admission criteria for artillery officers in Spain before and after this period are also considered in order, as are the situation in France and England during these decades.

Abstract:

abstractThis paper was presented at an Ordinary Meeting of the Institute, held at the Royal Entomological Society, London, on Wednesday 20 April 1988.The current method of artillery survey is reviewed and its limitations examined in the light of both the system error budget and the envisaged battlefield threat. The concept of the Automatic Gun Laying System (AGLS) is introduced as a means of enhancing the effectiveness and survivability of the self-propelled gun element through the application of modern inertial navigation (IN) technology. As a complement to this, the use of IN technology to provide a vehicle-mounted target observation capability is also presented. The paper describes a unified treatment of the artillery system, leading to the selection of the respective IN solutions, and concludes that a standard module is both appropriate and optimal. Environmental factors are discussed, together with the alternative sensors and systems considered. The paper concludes with brief comments on the status of inertial navigation within the military land area.

Abstract:

The core aspect of military organisation is highly discipline personnel due to the nature of duties which lives are at stake. Poor discipline demonstrated in performing duties not only affect the image of the military organisation, but also the faith of the people to the organisation. Disciplinary cases among military personnel often associated with the individual financial state. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between financial well-being of members of 93 Royal Signals Regiment with work performance. Three factors which are Financial Literacy, Financial Behaviour and Financial Stress are selected to determine influence towards the work performance. Self administered stuctured questionnaires were disseminated and 147 responses collected for the data analysis.The finding signifies that there are moderate and insignificant corellation between personal financial well-being with the work performance among the members of 93 Royal Signals Regiment. The outcome of the research shall facilitate human resources strategic planning at the decision making level to address issues concerning personal financial which affecting the morale and subsequently affecting the work performance.

Abstract:

A Measure of Effectiveness (MOE) is a criterion. A system that scores well according to the criterion will be accepted as effective, meaning that it achieves what is intended. This seems simple, but in fact well-meaning managers can fail to find an adequate measure, are unclear about what is intended for the system, and may even misidentify the system. The method described here is a means to help avoid common mistakes. With the method, a manager or analyst (a user) builds a model of his or her own effectiveness assessment strategy using specially designed interactive software. The user enters data prompted by the software and views feedback consisting of graphs and ordered lists describing the user's inputs in various ways. Feedback gives the users alternative viewpoints for their inputs. As a case study, an MOE was constructed for a Soviet artillery unit within an attacking regiment.

Abstract:

The count Paolo Ballada of Saint Robert (1815-1888) as very young boy, he entered the Military Academy of Turin. At 45 years, he left the Army for devoting himself to the study of physical and military sciences. He was a member of the Royal Academy of the Sciences of Turin, the Royal Academy of the Lincei of Rome, the Royal Lombardo Institute of Milan, and of the Society (Academy) Italian called XL (forty). His life was dedicated to technical-scientific studies: Ballistics, Artillery, Mechanic, Hypsometry, Thermodynamic and Natural Sciences. As a passionate mountaineer, he did many alpine excursions and he was the main promoter and organizer of the first Italian ascent to mount Monviso in 1863 with his friend Quintino Sella, and contributed to the foundation of the Italian Alpine Club. He retired in Castagnole delle Lanze (Asti) in 1878 until 1884. He died in Turin in 1888.

Full text

Abstract:

The 1860s marked a period of intense early interest in the antiquity of man, and so cave archaeology, in England and elsewhere. Systematic cave archaeology was initiated on Gibraltar in 1863 by a former infantry officer, Frederick Brome, the governor of the military prison, and his discoveries prompted cave exploration and local geological interest by two young British Army officers stationed on the Rock: Alexander Burton-Brown of the Royal Artillery and the subsequently more famous Charles (later Sir Charles) Warren of the Royal Engineers. On the recommendation of Sir Charles Lyell, President of the Geological Society of London, Brome's excavated material was sent to England for study by George Busk and Hugh Falconer: both palaeontologists of considerable distinction. The new discoveries drew attention to the ‘Gibraltar Skull’, presented to the Gibraltar Scientific Society by Lieutenant Edmund Flint of the Royal Artillery in 1848 but recognized only after description of Homo neanderthalensis from Germany in 1864 as a relic of that extinct species—one of the most complete Neanderthal skulls known. Detailed topographical mapping of the Gibraltar peninsula by Charles Warren and interest in Gibraltar geology generated by cave studies led to the first geological survey of the Rock—by Andrew (later Sir Andrew) Crombie Ramsay and James Geikie of the ‘British’ Geological Survey, in 1876. The first ‘overseas’ project to be undertaken by the Survey, this was historically significant because its purpose was primarily hydrogeological and it generated an atypically large-scale (1:2,500) geological map. The map and its 1877-1878 descriptive accounts, which featured Quaternary superficial sediments in more detail than the Jurassic limestone bedrock, were to guide development of Gibraltar's fortress infrastructure for the next sixty-five years.

Full text

Abstract:

Previous studies explain the extension of royal power in fifteenth-century France by the professionalization of military combat or by the commercialization of economic activity. Neither approach can account for the turnaround in Charles VII's fortunes between 1435 and 1445. Using Lösch's model of spatial competition to examine the determinants of state borders, we suggest that the key factor in the formation of the French hexagon was an innovation in artillery projectiles that increased military scale economies. A reduction in state economic intervention apparently accompanied this development rather than the increase suggested elsewhere.

Abstract:

Abstract The number of executions that the royal army carried out immediately following Monmouth's rebellion in July 1685 has always puzzled scholars. Contemporary sources offer little assistance: loyalist tories largely ignored the problem, while opposition whigs exaggerated both the number of hangings and the degree of sadism involved. A comparison between parish burial records in Somerset and a hitherto unnoticed document in the British Library (Additional MS. 32000 fos. 91–2) indicates that Colonel Kirke of the First Tangiers Regiment precisely followed orders given by Lieutenant-General Lord Feversham, and even offered mercy to some victims.

Abstract:

Dunkirk–Alamein–Bologna: Letters and diaries of an artilleryman 1939–1945 (1994) is based on the letters written by Christopher Seton Watson while on active duty as an officer in the Royal Horse Artillery in the Second World War. In this essay, the correspondence provides a platform for exploring first how CSW's wartime experiences coloured his views on Italy and Italian politics, and then the ways in which those views had developed and changed by the time he published his major study of the crisis of Italian liberalism (Italy from liberalism to fascism 1870–1925 (1967).

Abstract:

Despite the brevity of the Gulf war, there is still the strong possibility that it will leave long-term problems for psychiatric services within the NHS. The low incidence of acute psychiatric problems in the Falklands conflict does not obviate long-term problems. Surgeon-Commander O'Connell of the Royal Navy, reported informally in the newspapers (Guardian, 7 May 1990) that up to 30% of the 28,000 Falklands veterans are still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Hughes (1990), medical officer with 2nd Paratroop Regiment at Goose Green, described his realisation that he had PTSD, his subsequent treatment by the NHS and transfer to a military hospital. The Royal Navy still has a counselling service, set up in 1987, but it is clear that military services cannot deal with all the current problems, let alone those to come. The advice of the Ministry of Defence is that the initial onus to recognise a problem lies with the family and that sufferers should seek treatment through their GP.

Abstract:

In 1915, when Lawrence Bragg was a 25-year-old Second Lieutenant in the Royal Horse Artillery, seconded to ‘Maps GHQ’, he learned that he and his father had shared the Nobel Prize in physics. Lawrence's equation was crucial for winning the prize and he had been wounded by his father's early dissemination of their work with casual attribution to ‘my son’. Lawrence was responsible for developing methods for pinpointing the position of enemy artillery pieces by recording the boom of their firing with an array of microphones. It was a simple idea but difficult to implement. Step by step, Bragg and the group he assembled solved the problems and developed a system that worked. Sound-ranging was valuable in the British victory at Cambrai in 1917 and vital for that at Amiens in 1918: the ‘black day of the German Army’. He received the MC and the OBE. His Army service manifested both his scientific leadership and administrative skills, which culminated in the demonstrations of the validity of the dream he enunciated in his Nobel lecture: that X-rays could be used to resolve the structure of the most complicated molecules.

Abstract:

Currently portable power supply unit either powered by diesel generator or solar powered are only able to supply for alternating current (AC) or single direct current (DC) loads. In this work, multiple renewable input and output emergency portable power supply (E-PPS) prototype were developed and the functionality were explored. The developed prototype usage duration was determined by varying electrical loads. Verifications were carried out to demonstrate E-PPS functionality and usage during emergency with Malaysian Health-care Department, Malaysian Civil Defence Agency, and Malaysian Royal Signals Regiment. It was found that E-PPS managed to successfully supply simultaneous power for both alternating current (AC) and various direct current (DC) loads at an average of 88% efficiency.

The Austro-Hungarian XIV Corps lead by General Josef Roth was able to cross the River San and gained a bridgehead at Rzuchów in the face of heavy Russian resistance, but was forced to retreat after two days. Inadequate artillery support on the Austro-Hungarian side, unfavourable weather conditions and, above all, a poor choice of landing area, all lead to a defeat and the loss of over a thousand men. Russian losses amounted to a similar figure.

Abstract:

The paper discusses a plan of the Kamianets-Podilskyi fortress from the year 1773, which has not been known until now. The performed analyses of the biographical notes of the Reibnitz family, demonstrated that the most probable author is Ferdinand Friedrich Christoph von Reibnitz, a standard-bearer and later captain of the regiment of royal infantry. The descriptions in the plan and the legend were made in German. The shape of the city and of the castles is represented in a very deformed way, however, the plan includes many details of the city surroundings, such as the locations of windmills or of the Evangelical and Jewish cemeteries. The errors in the representation of both castles, the new one and the old one, suggest that the discussed plan is a copy of the plan kept in Berlin, at the Prussian Privy State Archives.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractBuilt in 1769 as a private observatory for King George III, Kew Observatory was taken over in 1842 by the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS). It was then quickly transformed into what some claimed to be a ‘physical observatory’ of the sort proposed by John Herschel – an observatory that gathered data in a wide range of physical sciences, including geomagnetism and meteorology, rather than just astronomy. Yet this article argues that the institution which emerged in the 1840s was different in many ways from that envisaged by Herschel. It uses a chronological framework to show how, at every stage, the geophysicist and Royal Artillery officer Edward Sabine manipulated the project towards his own agenda: an independent observatory through which he could control the geomagnetic and meteorological research, including the ongoing ‘Magnetic Crusade’. The political machinations surrounding Kew Observatory, within the Royal Society and the BAAS, may help to illuminate the complex politics of science in early Victorian Britain, particularly the role of ‘scientific servicemen’ such as Sabine. Both the diversity of activities at Kew and the complexity of the observatory's origins make its study important in the context of the growing field of the ‘observatory sciences’.

Abstract:

In 1792 the Society published in Archaeologia an engraving of ‘An antient Mortar at Eridge Green’, with the claim that it was the first gun made in England. Subsequent writers on the history of artillery, while noting the gun's importance as one of the first examples of a wrought-iron cannon or bombard (to give it its correct name), believed that it had been destroyed. In fact, by the date of its publication, the bombard had been removed to Boxted Hall, Suffolk, where it remained unrecognized until its transfer to the Royal Armouries, H. M. Tower of London, in 1979. This article traces the history of the bombard, the method of its construction and concludes that it was probably made in England, in the Weald, during the fifteenth century.

Abstract:

The formation of Polish armed troops began in summer 1918, during the battles between troops of the Czechoslovak Corps (Radziwiłłowicz 2010, 107–126), “white” Russians and Bolsheviks in the Volga region and in Siberia. Earlier that year, small Polish troops began to form spontaneously, taking their names from the towns of formation; therefore, those were, among others, Omsk, Irkuck, Semipalatynsk “legions”. In October 1918, due to a Bolshevik offensive, Polish forces were stationed in Novonikolayevsk (now Novosibirsk) on the Ob river. A division with three rifle regiments, a light artillery regiment and a lancer regiment was formed in 1918 and 1919. The newly-formed troops made up a tactical unit which drew on the tradition of the 5th Polish Rifle Division of the 2nd Polish Corps, with the same number and name (Radziwiłłowicz 2009). More ambitious organisational plans were developed for a supra-division command structure: the Polish Army Command in Eastern Russia and Siberia. From the end of November 1919 to early January 1920, over a distance of nearly a thousand kilometres, troops of the 5th Polish Rifle Division divided into 57 echelons and evacuated by the decrepit Trans-Siberian Railway as the rearguard of the allied forces, through the area of a civil war, among the hostile population of Siberia. The capitulation of the 5th Polish Rifle Division at the Klukviennaya station came as a surprise, not only to its command. The behaviour of the Czechoslovak commanders blocking the railroad, when troops of the Soviet 5th Army and Bolshevik guerrillas attacked the stretched Polish echelons, was regarded as deliberate and aimed at the liquidation of the Polish division. The commander of the Polish division, Colonel Kazimierz Rumsza with a group of his followers, as well as over a thousand officers and privates, who had no illusions that Bolsheviks would observe certain wartime and moral standards adopted by both parties of the conflict, avoided Bolshevik captivity and its cruelty. This group made their way to Harbin in Manchuria, from where a small number of Polish troops were evacuated by sea to Poland (Radziwiłłowicz 2015). The remainder of the division, after surviving the hell of Soviet POW and labour camps, returned to Poland in 1921 and 1922 by repatriation transports. About 4 thousand soldiers of the 5th Polish Rifle Division did not survive the hardships of the camps and the cruelty of the Cheka.

Abstract:

A critical study is presented here of the contribution made by Joseph Louis Proust, Professor of Chemistry and Metallurgy at the Royal Artillery School in Segovia, to the early investigation of platinum. His researches were carried out in Spain, mainly at the Segovian House of Chemistry during the latter years of the eighteenth century, and at the platinum laboratory in Madrid in the early years of the nineteenth century. These investigations resulted in three papers about the metal; one of them is almost unknown, but it gives a procedure which he had established for the possible purification of platinum. In the other two, Proust incorrectly interpreted the results of his experimental work, but he showed a systematic approach to his scientific investigations and paid great attention to detail, being the only investigator of platinum in Spain at that time to do so.

Abstract:

Between the First World War and the Second World War, approximately 280 thousand men served in the Lithuanian armed forces. This is a significant figure for a country that only had a population of two to 2.5 million. Even though the Lithuanian armed forces were only involved in active military operations and low-intensity fighting from 1919 to 1923, servicemen died during the entire period up to 1940. The numbers of deaths during the Wars of Independence are well known; however, the causes of death in the Lithuanian armed forces, both from 1919 to 1920 and in later years, have not been investigated in great depth. We understand that one cause of death in an active army is active combat. In the study of war, deaths in action are further classified into deaths caused by artillery fire, machine gun and rifle fire, bayonets, etc. This allows scholars to determine the effectiveness of weapons systems and tactical elements used on the battlefield. However, the focus of this article is the causes of soldiers’ deaths that are not directly combat related. In the first section, I discuss causes of death in the Lithuanian armed forces during periods of war and peace, and provide a host of examples, which include deaths caused by disease, accidents, homicide and suicide. In the last section, I present the results of quantitative analysis. The quantitative analysis is a case study of a single regiment that demonstrates the predominant causes of death from 1919 to 1940, with a separate analysis of causes of death for the period 1919 to 1920.

Abstract:

Luiz da França Pinto Garcez, a representative nineteenth-century Brazilian general, was born in Lisbon in 1799, the son of General Luiz Paulino de Oliveira Pinto da França. His family migrated to Brazil in 1808 with João VI and in September, 1811 at the age of twelve, young Luiz joined the Bahia light infantry legion as a cadet, a position open to him because of his father's military rank. After obtaining a transfer to the First Cavalry Regiment in Rio de Janeiro in 1813, he received permission to enroll at the Royal Military Academy. His studies were interrupted four years later when he joined the government force sent to crush the 1817 Pernambuco revolt. For his services in that campaign, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant and, upon return to the imperial capital in 1819, he learned of his appointment as adjutant to the Inspector General of Cavalry and light Infantry in Bahia with the rank of captain.

Abstract:

Most of the heavily-quoted interviews available on feminist theatre are in serious need of updating. A current account is needed of ‘feminism and theatre’ as experienced by feminist theatre practitioners, and as perceived by feminist theatre students, critics, players and their audiences. To meet this need, NTQ plans a series of interviews with women involved in the British feminist theatre movement today, whose career paths trace developments and shifts in the feminist theory and practice of the past fifteen years. The first interview is with Gillian Hanna, who worked with the 7:84 Theatre Company and with Belt and Braces from 1971 to 1975, before co-founding the Monstrous Regiment feminist theatre group in 1975. Hanna worked exclusively within the Regiment from 1975 until 1981–82. and is one of the three original members who still actively participate in Regimental management, production, and performance, though she now works extensively outside the group as well, having acted in repertory at the Liverpool Everyman and in Newcastle, Sheffield and Derby. Recently, Hanna spent the best part of a year playing in The House of Bernardo Alba. which opened at the Lyric. Hammersmith, and ran in the West End, and in the Spring of 1989 she played in Caryl Churchill's Ice Cream at the Royal Court. Her acting credits include work in TV and film, and her interests extend to translation of playtexts from French and Italian: she translated Dario Fo's Elizabeth, and is currently on a commission to translate (and re-translate) the complete oeuvre of the one-woman plays of Franca Rame and Dario Fo. Three of the Rame/Fo plays – under the joint title A Common Woman – were recently produced at the Sheffield Crucible and at the Half Moon in London, for which performance Hanna won the 1989 Time Out ‘01 for London’ Award. Projects currently under way within the Regiment include an adaptation of a Marivaux play (The Colony), and possible plans to tour both A Common Woman and Beatrice. She is interviewed by Lizbeth Goodman, originally a New Yorker, and currently a junior member and scholar of St. John's College and a graduate researcher in the English Faculty of Cambridge University, where she is working on a doctoral thesis on feminist theatre since 1968, and a book on the politics of theatre funding.
