John Ramsden | Trench Fever

https://trenchfever.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/john-ramsden

War – what is it good for? Professor John Ramsden, my colleague at QMUL until his retirement last year, died a few days ago. Peter Hennessy’s obituary from the Guardian. 8217; There’s no way in words of conveying why that generated so much affection within me. On one of the student feedback forms from the First World War course we taught together, an anonymous undergraduate wrote ‘John Ramsden: if Carlsberg made lecturers’. That got it absolutely right; he will be much missed. From your own site. Command...

War – what is it good for? Death in Britain in the Second World War at the IHR. I spoke about three areas – the relative absence of work on death in Britain in the Second World War ( although that may be changing. Although I revisited a lot of the material visitors to this blog may already have seen in terms of calculating the numbers of dead, preparing the paper did force me to engage in some research. I searched out and read Pat Jalland’s. Oxford: OUP, 1965), 502). London: Routledge, 2000), 70). Britis...

War – what is it good for? Cross posted to Britain at War. To mark the 70th anniversary of this pivotal event in British history, Tony Robinson presents a four-part science and history series which gives just a flavour of what it must have been like to live under such constant bombardment, and explores, crucially, why the Blitz failed.
