New life for this blog,

I have been interested in my family history for some time and I have discovered that on the Scott side has been documented by Larry Scott and the Miller side has been traced by Cheryl Miller.

As I look at both I noticed that we have some military history in those trees.  If I had made a few different decisions I might have added to them.

I have been digging and discovering and in effort to share I will be posting what I find here on this site.  That way I have a place to edit when new info is found instead of keeping it to myself on my computer.

I am noticing that due to the Privacy acts and such I can't find much info from WW2 onward

Hope you enjoy.

(Post Wars - Canada) Leading Seaman 2nd class Bob Southwood (Submariner)

Bob Southwood - (From my Aunt Eve) “Bob was in the Navy from 1958 - 1963.  He was a Leading Seaman 2 and had his Submariners classification.  He served on HMCS Margaree, HMCS Stettler, (plus one other I think) destroyers and the last 16 months on the submarine HMCS Grilse.  His trade was electrical. So that meant climbing the masts when the identification lights went out plus lots of other goodies.”

The 162d Depot Brigade was a training and receiving formation in the United States Army during World War I. Secretary of War Newton Baker authorized Major General Samuel Sturgis to organize the 162d Depot Brigade, an element of the 87th Division (National Army).[2] It was later detached and placed directly under Camp Pike as an independent unit.[3] [4][5] The depot brigade filled two purposes: one was to train replacements for the American Expeditionary Forces; the other was to act as a receiving unit for men sent to camps by local draft boards.[6][7]

World War I[edit]
87th Division was a National Army division allocated to Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Was activated at Camp Pike, Arkansas on 25 August 1917.
Went overseas in September 1918, was utilized as a pool of laborers.
Returned to the Continental US in January 1919 to Camp Dix, New Jersey, and was deactivated in February 1919.
Was reassigned to the Organized Reserve program in 1921, and allocated to Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.

(WW1, Canadian Army) Everett Ozro Miller

Everett Ozro Miller, Canadian Army WWI   

When I was at Vimi Ridge I was planning to look for his name on the wall but when I was there the monument was being renovated and could not get to the monument.  I was told by the guides that the names were of the fallen and I knew that he survived the war.  I had done some research on the Canadian Army and each step thought he would have been there.  When I found the papers it took me a year before I caught the word "Drafted" and was floored.  He didn't choose to go but his older brother did and joined the US army and didn't come back.  Then I found that he was Military Police, A job that is not celebrated by many I have heard. years later when I spoke with John Miller and found that "He never got to the continent"  To this day I wish that he would have talked about his time more as I wondered what mental minefields he would have had to deal with. 





Randy Miller (New Zealand) said his dad was injured and transferred to be a Military Policeman at the end of the war.  I had remember hearing he was at Vimi Ridge (all the Can Army was) but without knowing his unit number can't tell what he did.

Conversation with John Miller (son of Everett) May 2016 stated that his dad got a bad flu and was transferred to the Military Police when he was better.  “He never got to the continent”

Drafted on Jan 25, 1918 in Edmonton (via his draft papers I found)

After the Military Service Act was passed in 1917 tensions ran high throughout Canada. Not all Canadians were as enthusiastic about joining the war effort as the first Canadian volunteers had been. In fact many people objected to the idea of war completely. The conscientious objectors or unwilling soldiers sought exemption from combat. Instead, many joined the Non-Combatant Corps, where they took on other roles. Their duties consisted of cleaning and other labour. They did not carry weapons but were expected to dress in uniform, and they practised regular army discipline. Often the conscientious objector was abused, deemed a coward, and stripped of basic rights.^[2] In the British House of Commons a resolution for the disenfranchisement of conscientious objectors was defeated by 141 to 71. Lord Hugh Cecil, who was a well-known churchman and statesman, said that he was “entirely out of sympathy for conscientious objectors, but he could not force them to do what they thought was wrong or punish them for refusing to do something they thought was wrong.”^[3]

However, the government was making an effort to be sympathetic toward those who refused to take part in military service. Many communities set up local tribunals. If a man refused to serve he was put in front of a panel of two judges: one appointed by a board of selection named by Parliament, and the other by the senior county judge. The man was to plead his case, and if the panel was not convinced, the man asking for exemption was allowed to appeal.^[4] If the judges found that it was best if the person stayed at home, then he was not sent overseas. Many Canadians were unhappy with the conscientious objectors' choice to refuse combat. Many people believed that if people were not willing to give service against the enemy, then the only choice for them was between civil or military prisons.^[5]

Conscription posed a difficult question for the government. Conscription was unprecedented, and the problem proved to be that the government did not know who was best suited to become a soldier, a toolmaker or a farmer. The issue of manpower and ensuring that the proper men were being relocated to the most appropriate roles overseas was an issue that lasted the duration of the war.^[6]

By the spring of 1918, the government had amended the act so that there were no exemptions, which left many English Canadians opposed as well. Even without exemptions, only about 125,000 men were ever conscripted, and only 25,000 of these were sent to the front. Fortunately for Borden, the war ended within a few months, but the issue left Canadians divided and distrustful of their government          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_Crisis_of_1917

Canadian Military Police Corps

During the early years of World War I, Regimental Police were the only police element in the Canadian Army. The situation was such that the 2nd Canadian Division made its brigades responsible for the provision of "Trench Police" to perform traffic control duties.

The Canadian Military Police Corps was formed during October 1917, with a total of 850 all ranks.

The CMPC school was formed at Ottawa on 1 June 1918, and closed ten months later on 11 March 1919.

The CMPC itself was disbanded on 30 June 1920.

Canadian Army Military Police
1914 - 1920

A Brief History

At the outset of the First World War, the Canadian Army consisted of a tiny "Permanent Force" or Regular Army and a large Non-Permanent Militia. There was no organized Corps or Regiment of Military Police in the Army, a few units had a Regimental Police or Provost section consisting of a dozen or so men under the command of a Provost Sergeant. Camps and Garrisons had locally appointed personnel functioning as Military Police, however discipline was primarily a Regimental concern, through the normal chain of command.

Soldiers temporarily assigned to Military Police duties were expected to be locally recruited, often from gentlemen of large physical stature, who might or might not have civil police experiance. Camp Police are mentioned briefly in various Militia publications prior to 1914. Major General William Otter's The Guide: A Manual for the Canadian Militia describes very briefly, the duties and identification of military police. Generally, the duties of Camp Police were to maintain order, regulate civilian tradesmen, provide escorts for defaulters and enforce sanitary regulations.

In September, 1914, a small detachment of Military Police accompanied the First Contingent of the Canadian Expeditionary Force to England. Captain E.S. Clifford D.S.O. was appointed as Assistant Provost Marshal for the First Contingent. A section of Military Police consisting of a Warrant Officer and 9 Privates was with Divisional Headquarters. 1st Infantry Brigade Headquarters had a section of 4 Military Mounted Police. Upon arrival in England, the detachment underwent training with the British Military Police. Canadian Military Police appear to have adopted British methods, organisation and equipments. Unfortunately, detailed records of this period were lost due to a fire in 1917.

  The Canadian Military Police Corps (CMPC) was authorised on the 15th of September, 1917 by Militia General Orders 93 & 94. The initial establishment was set at 30 Officers and 820 Warrant Officers and NCOs. Only trained soldiers were to be selected and they were required to serve a one month probationary period before being transferred. Applicants were required to have exemplary service records, most having served with existing Military Police units. The CMPC School was formed at Rockcliffe near Ottawa in June, 1918. The first commanding officer of the school was Major Baron Osborne. The basic course was of three weeks duration, upon successful completion of the course Privates were promoted to Lance Corporal.

The following is an excerpt from the Report of the Minister, Overseas Military Forces of Canada, 1918:

   "The selection of personnel for Provost Service is a matter of great importance, even more so than in the case of policemen in civil life. The Military Police must be tactful, intelligent, and determined."

  Canadian Expeditionary Force (C.E.F.) Routine Order No. 486 on the 25th of April, 1918 authorised the CMPC as a unit of the C.E.F. Two detachments, Nos. 8 and 9, served with the C.E.F. overseas, the remaining 11 detachments were posted to their respective Military Districts in Canada. Colonel Gilbert Godson-Godson, DSO DCM, below left, was appointed as the first Provost Marshal of the Canadian Military Police Corps.

   On the 31st of May, 1918, Privy Council Order 754 transferred the Officers and men of the Dominion Police (primarily responsible for the security of government buildings in Ottawa) to the Department of Militia & Defence. The Dominion Police became the Civil Branch of the Canadian Military Police Corps.

  The CMPC in Canada played a major role in enforcing the Conscription Act and apprehending deserters and draft evaders. Military Police were permitted to wear civilian clothes in order to carry out their duties.

By 1918, the CMPC had a strength of 3,356 all ranks, distributed as follows:

  CMPC Canada - 1853
  CMPC Civil Branch - 969
  CMPC Overseas (C.E.F) - 484
  CMPC New York City - 50

  The CMPC assigned to the Canadian Expeditionary Force were established at the Canadian Corps headquarters, in the Adjutant General's Branch. The CMPC were under the command of the Deputy Assistant Adjutant General (D.A.A.G.). Assistant Provost Marshals (A.P.M.) were appointed at Corps and Division levels.

  The Canadian Military Police Corps was disbanded on the 1st of December 1920. The Dominion Police returned to civil duties and were absorbed by the Royal North West Mounted Police in 1920. This amalgamation resulted in the formation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Duties

  During the First World War the primary duty of the CMPC in towns and camps was maintaining order and discipline. Very few of the original Military Police in the field had police experience, and early training was minimal. One of the most vital roles of the Military Police, traffic control, was not fully appreciated by the Canadian army until later in the war. Other duties included the guarding of VIPs, vulnerable points and setting up straggler collection points.

The 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus.^[1] It infected 500 million people across the world,^[2] including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic, and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million (three to five percent of the world's population^[3]), making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history.^[2][4][5][6]

Disease had already greatly limited life expectancy in the early twentieth century. A considerable spike occurred at the time of the pandemic, specifically the year 1918. Life expectancy dropped by about 12 years.^{[7][8][9][10]}       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_flu_pandemic

The 24th Missouri Infantry Volunteers was organized in 1861 and began its service on December 28th of that year.  In January 1862, the 24th joined General Samuel Curtis at Rolla, MO for Curtis' 1862 campaign against Confederate General Sterling Price.
The regiment's first major engagement was the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas in March of 1862.  Designated as the Union Provost Guard, the men of the 24th occupied the area around Elkhorn Tavern.  It was in this area that the early fighting of the battle occurred.  In fact, Private John Franklin of the 24th Missouri became the first Union casualty of the battle as he was severely wounded while attempting to repel the initial rebel attack.  Early in the battle, Confederate Generals Benjamin McCulloch and James McIntosh were killed, creating a void in the rebel command structure which could not be overcome.  This resulting lack of organization and leadership helped secure a decisive Union victory and a crushing loss for the Southern forces.
 Losses suffered by the 24th during the battle were 4 killed, 17 wounded.  Total Federal losses at Pea Ridge numbered 203 killed, 980 wounded and 201 missing for a total of 1,384 casualties.
Throughout the remainder of the war, the regiment and its detachments could be found serving in a wide range of campaigns and battles in both the Western and Trans-Mississippi Theaters.  Some of the engagements in which the 24th fought include Vicksburg, The Red River Campaign, The Occupation of Alexandria, The Battle of Corinth, The Battle of Pleasant Hill, The Battle of Franklin, and Missionary Ridge. During the 24th Missouri's three and a half years of service, almost thirteen hundred men would serve in its ranks.  By the end of hostilities, the 24th would lose 3 officers and 40 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded.  Another 221 would die of disease.  The last men of the 24th were mustered out of service in February of 1865.    http://24thmissouri.org/the-24th-in-the-civil-war/

Title: U.S. National Flag of the 48th Missouri Infantry Volunteers


Description: The 48th Missouri Infantry was initially organized in Waynesville in August 1864, to serve for one year. Recruits came primarily from around Jefferson City and Rolla. The warning "No Quarters Asked, Rebel, None Given" [stenciled on the flag] would imply that the regiment expected to see a lot of the enemy, but in reality the 48th saw little, if any, action. The unit served in the District of Rolla, Department of Missouri, until early December 1864, when it was sent to Nashville, Tennessee, to take post and garrison the block houses on the Tennessee & Alabama Railroad. In February 1865, the 48th was ordered to Camp Douglas in Chicago to escort Confederate prisoners to City Point, Virginia, and New Orleans for exchange. The regiment was then ordered to Benton Barracks in St. Louis, where it was mustered out of service on June 30, 1865
