The Hampshire Regiment (Royal Hampshire Regiment from 1946) was a British Army line infantry regiment from 1881 to 1992.[2][4] The regiment served in many small conflicts and both World War I and World War II. The regiment existed from 1881-1992 when it was amalgamated with the Queen's Royal Regiment to form the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment.
Formation and antecedents[edit]
The Hampshire Regiment was formed on 1 July 1881 under the Childers reforms from the merger of the 37th (North Hampshire) Regiment of Foot and the 67th (South Hampshire) Regiment of Foot along with the militia and rifle volunteers of the county of Hampshire.
A regimental tradition was that on 1 August, known as Minden Day, each year battalion members would wear a rose in their head dress to commemorate the Battle of Minden.
World War I[edit]
This section requires expansion. (August 2014) |
In World War I it took part in the Battle of Gallipoli when engaged in the fatal Landing at Cape Helles of the 88th Brigade, 29th (UK) Division.
Irish War of Independence[edit]
The 2nd Battalion was sent to Ireland to fight the IRA. On 31 May 1921 seven soldiers, all with the band of the 2nd Battalion Hampshire Regiment were on their way to the rifle range at Youghal County Cork when a road mine exploded under the truck they were travelling in. Three soldiers were killed outright while a further four died later from their wounds.[5]
World War II[edit]
In the Second World War, the Hampshire Regiment had six battalions that fought abroad, whilst more battalions stayed at home. The six battalions who fought abroad were the 1st, 2nd, 1/4th, 2/4th, 5th and 7th Battalions. The 1st Battalion of the regiment formed part of the 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division, and took part in the D-Day landings, landing at Gold Beach on 6 June 1944.
The 1st Battalion[edit]
The 1st Battalion was a Regular Army battalion that was deployed on Garrison duties in El Daba, Egypt at the beginning of the war.
- 12 December 1939 the 1st Battalion was moved to Palestine on peace keeping duties.
- 2 June 1940 the 1st Battalion was moved to Moascar in Egypt, then to Mearsa Matruh. One of their duties was to look after the large number of Italian prisoners after the fall of Sidi Barrani.
- 21 February 1941 the 1st Battalion arrived in Malta, where it became part of the 1st (Malta) Infantry Brigade (with 1st Dorsets and 2nd Devons). This later became the 231st Infantry Brigade. Duties in Malta included airfield repair and working as stevedores in the docks. Malta was subjected to a prolonged siege, and by July 1942 the food situation had become serious, but the situation eased as the Allies fortunes improved in the North African Campaign.
- On 3 April 1943 the 231st Infantry Brigade, including the 1st Hampshires, was moved to Alexandria, then subsequently to Cairo and Suez, as it trained as an independent assault brigade.
- 10 July 1943 the 1st Battalion invaded Sicily as part of the first wave of Operation "Husky". The beach landing went smoothly, but the 1st Battalion ran into resistance at Vizzini on 13 July when it ran into the Herman Goring Parachute Panzer Division. On 22 July, the 1st Battalion was engaged in hard fighting for Agria, which only fell on 29 July. The 1st Battalion was reduced to three companies after the battle. There was further hard fighting to capture the Regalbuto Ridge, which ended the Sicilian Campaign. The 1st Battalion suffered 18 Officers and 286 Other Ranks killed or wounded in Sicily.
- 8 September 1943 the 231st Infantry Brigade invaded Italy, landing at Potro San Venere near Pizzo. The 1st Battalion was involved in fighting as the Germans withdrew northwards.
- 23 September 1943 the 1st Battalion was back in Sicily waiting for transport back to the UK.
- 4 November 1943 the 1st Battalion was back in the UK for the first time in 22 years. It was allocated to the 50th Infantry Division, one of the assault divisions for the invasion of North West Europe and had an excellent reputation after fighting in the Mediterranean.
- 6 June 1944 the 1st Battalion came ashore as part of Operation "Overlord". On the first day the battalion captured Le Hamel and Arromanches after a hard fight. When the battalion landed there were no tanks with them, and they faced machine gun fire upon landing. On D-Day alone the 1st Battalion suffered 182 casualties.
- 18 June, the 1st Battalion started a three-week fight for the village of Hottot, against the German Panzer-Lehr-Division. This culminated in a major assault on 11 July, but the 1st Battalion was withdrawn from the line the next day, testimony to the hard fighting.
- 30 July 1944 the 1st Battalion was in the vanguard of the assault towards Villiers Bocage. There were stiff fights at St Germain d'Ectot and Launay. Villiers Bocage was taken on 4 August, following which 50th Division was taken out of the line.
- 11 August 1944 a brigade attack was launched towards Conde, and the 1st Battalion attacked St Pierre la Vielle. The fighting was particularly hard, and after the 11-hour battle the 1st Battalion Rifle companies were severely reduced – 'B' Company had 25 men, 'C' Company had 35 men, and 'D' Company were down to just 12 men. 'A' Company was only lightly engaged and, on 12 August, the 1st Battalion was withdrawn from the line.
- 25 August 1944 the 1st Battalion was motorised and joined with 11th Armoured Division for the breakout attack. There was no fighting, and on 31 August, the 1st Battalion crossed the river Seine at Vernon and swept on to Amiens. The 1st Battalion was then placed under command of the Guards Armoured Division and swept into Brussels on 3 September.
- 17 September 1944 the 1st Battalion, still under command of the Guards Armoured, started the attack towards Eindhoven, which was the attack designed to relieve the British and Polish paratroops fighting at Arnhem, who had dropped as part of Operation "Market Garden". The 1st Battalion, as part of 231st Infantry Brigade, was charged with defending the "Corridor" formed by the armoured advance. In October, the 1st Battalion moved up to Nijmegen and moved onto "The Island", the bridgehead over the river Waal but behind the river Lek.
- 4 October 1944 the 1st Battalion attacked north of Bemmel, and expanded the bridgehead up to the Wettering Canal. The 1st Battalion then went onto the defensive until the end of November.
- 29 October 1944 the 1st Battalion moved back to Ypres in Belgium, and subsequently was moved back to the UK as a training cadre as was the rest of the 50th Division and the men were mainly used as replacements for other British infantry battalions. It ended the war in Louth, UK.
The 2nd Battalion[edit]
The 2nd Battalion was a Regular Army Battalion that started the war in Aldershot, in Hampshire, England.
- 13 September 1939 the 2nd Battalion moved to Cherbourg in France with the 1st Guards Brigade attached to 1st Infantry Division. It then moved to Sille-le-Guillaume, and from there 250 miles north to take its allocated place on the "Gort Line", which it reached on 3 October.
- 10 October 1939 the 2nd Battalion moved to the Belgian/French border. On 4 February 1940 the 2nd Battalion spent three weeks on the Maginot Line before returning to Metz.
- 11 May 1940 the 2nd Battalion crossed into Belgium in response to the German invasion of Belgium, and by 14 May was digging into a defensive position. However, an attack never came, but the Dutch and the French Ninth Army were retreating, so on 16 May the British 1st Division was ordered to retreat. A slow retreat then commenced, ending at Dunkirk.
- 1 June 1940 the 2nd Battalion began to be embarked from Dunkirk for the UK (some were evacuated on 2 June). The battalion managed to carry away 100% of their small-arms, mortars and anti-tank rifles. They were congratulated by the Minister for War, Mr Anthony Eden. The battalion then spent two years on home defence, training and preparing for a German invasion which never arrived.
- 11 November 1942 the 2nd Battalion sailed for North Africa, taking part in Operation Torch with the 78th Battleaxe Division. They disembarked at Algiers on 21 November.
- 29 November 1942 the 2nd Battalion moved to Tebourba. The following day the 2nd Battalion were attacked by heavy shelling, and on 1 December the Battalion was attacked by a force four times its size, that was able to outflank it and rake it with enfilading fire. This was the start of three days of fierce close combat, fought at close quarters and featuring bayonet charges and counter-charges. The battalion was forced back a mile and a half, and on 3 December Major Wallace Le Patourel was awarded the Victoria Cross for his gallantry in leading counter-attacks against the enemy. After three days the 2nd Battalion retreated through Tebourba, only to find all other troops had been withdrawn and the road behind them was cut. The battalion broke into small groups and attempted to break through to allied lines, reuniting at Medjez-el-Bab; many, including the CO, were captured. The 2nd Battalion started the battle with 689 men; after the battle it was down to 194 men. The battalion was withdrawn from the line and in December, nine Officers and 260 Other Ranks joined the Battalion. After the fall of Tunis on 13 May 1943 the 2nd Battalion joined the 128th (Hampshire) Brigade attached to 46th (West Riding) Infantry Division.
The 128th Infantry Brigade[edit]
The 128th Infantry Brigade – The Hampshire Brigade.[6]
- The Hampshire Regiment had a number of Territorial Army battalions, whose ranks were swelled throughout 1939. During 1939 the 5/7th Battalion was split into the 5th Battalion and the 7th Battalion, and the 4th Battalion was split into the 1/4th Battalion and the 2/4th Battalion.
- The 1/4th, 2/4th and 5th Battalions were formed into the 128th Infantry Brigade (the "Hampshire Brigade"), part of 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division.
- 6 January 1943 the 128th Infantry Brigade left Britain as part of 46th Infantry Division, for North Africa, as part of "Operation Torch". The Brigade disembarked at Algiers on 17 January, moving to Bone where it remained until the end of January, when the Brigade moved to Hunts Gap. The 5th Battalion was sent 12 miles further ahead to Sidi Nsir.
- 26 February, the 5th Battalion at Sidi N'sir was attacked in overwhelming strength as the Germans began Operation "Ox Head", a Corps level assault by German Paratroopers, elements of 10th Panzer Division and the 501st Heavy Tank battalion. The 5th Battalion was supported by 155th Battery Royal Artillery. The Germans had to take the Hampshires' hilltop positions before they could attack the artillery, knocking out all the guns, whose crews stood and died firing over open sights at the German tanks. Only 9 gunners survived. At 5pm 'B' Company of the 5th Battalion, reduced to 30 men, was overrun. At dusk the Battalion considered its position untenable, and it withdrew to a feature known as "Hampshire Farm". Of the 4 Rifle Companies, only 'C' Company less 1 platoon, and 30 men of 'D' company, remained. The German force was delayed for one critical day.
- 27 February the Hampshire Brigade was attacked at Hunt's Gap by the German force that had been delayed at Sidi N'sir. 2/4th was the main Battalion engaged, with 1/4th Battalion in support. The 2/5th Leicester Battalion was attached to the Brigade as well. The situation was so precarious that the Hampshire 2nd Battalion, still training its new recruits, was put into the line alongside 1/4th Battalion. The Brigade was supported by plenty of artillery and the Churchill tanks of the North Irish Horse. Extensive minefields and heavy dive bombing kept the German tanks at bay. On 28 February a pre-dawn attack penetrated the 2/4th Battalion's 'B' company positions, but heroic resistance and the tanks of the North Irish Horse kept the Germans at bay until dusk, when 'B' company was overrun. 'C' company was overrun by German infantry. On 1 March the German attacked again, and 'D' company was overrun, but 2/4th Battalion hung on to their remaining positions. On 2 March the Germans withdrew, and on 5 March the 2/4th Battalion was relieved by the Argylls. The 2/4th Battalion had suffered 243 men killed or missing.
- During March the Brigade was engaged on defensive patrolling, under heavy shelling. 1/4th Battalion lost 100 casualties during March, but 5th Battalion received 5 Officers and 150 men as replacements. On 5 April the Brigade handed over their positions and moved 100 miles south to El Ala. The Brigade subsequently captured the Fondouk Gap, allowing the British 6th Armoured Division to pass through and debouche onto the Kairouan Plain.
- 22 April 1943 the 128th Infantry Brigade attacked Bou Arada. The 16th Durham Light Infantry Battalion was added to the Brigade for the attack. Five Field Regiments and two Medium Regiments of the Royal Artillery supported the Brigade. Early progress was good, but when the mist cleared all four battalions were caught in the open under heavy fire, and losses mounted. The rifle companies of 1/4th Battalion only had 3 Officers and 80 men left between them. The 2/4th Battalion had to reorganise onto a three-company basis.
- 13 May 1943 Tunis fell and the North African campaign was over. 128th Infantry Brigade was reconstituted to consist of 2nd Battalion, 1/4th Battalion and 5th Battalion. The 2/4th Battalion was split into two to form two Defence Units of two Beach Groups. Their role was to protect the maintenance area of a Beach Group when it made a landing where no port was available.
- 9 September 1943 the 128th Infantry Brigade was one of three British brigades that made an assault landing at Salerno in Italy as part of X Corps. The landing was opposed by shore batteries firing shrapnel, and the beaches were raked by machine gun fire. 2nd Battalion and 1/4th Battalion made steady progress, but 5th Battalion had been landed in the wrong place and suffered heavily. A German counter-attack overran 'B' company and the Battalion HQ of 5th Battalion. The 5th Battalion lost 40 men killed, but over 300 were wounded or taken prisoner. On 12 September the Germans started a general assault against the Salerno bridgehead, which made good progress, the US VI Corps were almost driven into the sea. However, the arrival of US paratroops and the British 7th Armoured Division turned the tide. 128th Brigade was in the hills above Salerno, and the fighting was hard, but on 20 September the Germans began to withdraw northwards, and the pressure eased. All three Battalion had suffered – 2nd Battalion suffered 304 casualties, 1/4th Battalion suffered 159 casualties and the 5th Battalion suffered 29 Officer and over 400 Other Rank casualties.
- 8 October 1943 the 128th Brigade, part of the X Corps, moved up to the River Volturno, behind which the Germans had withdrawn. On 10 October the 1/4th Battalion captured the town of Castel Volturno, alongside the river, and on 12 October the 1/4th made a night assault across the river, establishing a small bridgehead. The 2nd and 5th Battalions moved across the river in support, but the entire Brigade was soon engaged in a stiff fire-fight. The Brigade advanced some 2,500 yards, and then dug in behind a canal as the Germans bought up tanks. The Brigade remained in the low-lying, swampy, mosquito-ridden land between the river and the canal until the Germans withdrew due to a breakthrough elsewhere. The Brigade then advanced along Route 7, meeting little resistance. The Hampshire Brigade was then taken out of the line for R&R.
- 27 November 1943 the Hampshire Brigade moved up to the River Garigliano. It was relieved on 11 January, and moved back to the River Volturno. They were selected as the Assault Brigade of 46th Division, and trained in river crossings.
- 19 January 1944 the Hampshire Brigade made a night assault across the swift flowing River Garigliano. The brigade had severe problems getting the boats through the minefields down to the river, and in the darkness confusion reigned. Only a few men managed to get across, and these were withdrawn at daylight.
- 23 January 1944 the Hampshire Brigade assaulted Monte Damiano, a bare, razor-backed feature, already strewn with British dead from 56th Division. The assault was made by the 1/4th and 2nd Battalions in daylight, and immediately came under heavy mortar and machine-gun fire. The attack was made with great dash, but it failed, with heavy casualties.
- 1 February 1944 5th Battalion was put under the command of 138 Brigade to assault Mounts Ornito and Cerasola. The assault met little opposition, although the Germans put in spirited counter-attacks on Mount Ornito, which were all driven off. However, as the days passed the casualties mounted from heavy shelling; the bare rock made cover difficult. In eight days the 5th Battalion suffered 200 casualties. Supply was particularly difficult, as supplies had to be carried up by mules and porters for 3 to 4 hours from the nearest road. On 7 February, the 5th Battalion attacked Mount Cerasola, a successful assault. On 10 February, the 5th Battalion was relieved.
- 28 February the Hampshire Brigade was relieved. It moved south to Naples and on 16 March they sailed for Egypt, and subsequently moved to Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and back to Egypt. All battalions were brought up to strength, largely from gunners from disbanded Middle-East AA units. On 27 June the Brigade sailed from Alexandria, and subsequently landed in Taranto. The move north through Italy was at an easy pace.
- 25 August 1944 the Hampshire Brigade started its assault on the "Gothic Line", a line of German defences across the Etruscan Apennines. The Hampshire brigade, with the North Irish Horse under command, led the 46th Division's assault (along with the Divisional Reconnaissance Regiment). The brigade's first target was to cross the River Metauro and take Monte Bartolo. The assault went to plan against little opposition, and Mount Bartolo was captured by the morning of 29 August. The Brigade had marched 25 miles to cover 12 miles as the crow flies, and climbed 1,500 feet. Only the 1/4th Battalion had come across serious opposition, engaging in heavy fighting around Montegaudio.
- 30 August 1944 the Hampshire Brigade assaulted the Gothic Line proper, crossing the River Foglia and assaulting Monte Gridolfo. This was heavily defended, with all cover cleared from its bare slopes. Nevertheless the men of the 2nd Battalion assaulted them with great vigour, and by dawn on 31 August they had captured the first crest. The 1/4th Battalion passed through, driving deeper into Gothic Line. During this assault, Lieutenant Gerard Norton was awarded the Victoria Cross. On 1 September, the 5th Battalion took the lead, and by 2 September had captured Meleto. The Gothic Line had been breached. A fighting advance continued northwards. On 5 September the Brigade was relieved, and sent to the rear for rest, but they were back in the line by 11 September.
- 14 September 1944 the Hampshire Brigade began an assault on Montescudo. Montescudo was defended by the German 100th Mountain Regiment, and they put up a desperate resistance. Other elements of the Brigade assaulted Trarivi, which was captured by 16 September. On 18 September, the Brigade was relieved. All three battalions were short of men, even after reinforcements were received from 1st Bn The Buffs.
- 28 September 1944 the Brigade crossed the River Fiumicino, and then the Rubicon. The weather was atrocious, and movement was slowed by deep mud, and supply was difficult. Fighting continued until 9 October. A steady advance was made, and by 12 November the River Montone was crossed; on 26 November the River Lamone was reached. This was crossed on 3 December in the face of stiff opposition, and by 6 December the Brigade had captured Casa Nova. The Brigade was relieved the following day, and moved well to the rear. From 24 August (when the Brigade moved up to the Gothic Line) to 7 December when they were relieved, the Hampshire Brigade had suffered 1,276 casualties.
- 13 January 1945 the 2nd Battalion and the 5th Battalion embarked from Taranto and disembarked in Piraeus, Greece, two days later. 1/4th Battalion arrived on 22 January. The Brigade (now known as "Tigerforce") split its battalions, and set about disarming the E.L.A.S army. The troops were welcomed everywhere, and there was no fighting.
- 5 April 1945 the Brigade began to return to Italy. By 1 May the Brigade was back in the line around Forlimpopoli; but the war ended before the Brigade was in action again.
The 2/4th battalion[edit]
The 2/4th Battalion.[6]
- 10 July 1943 the 20th Beach Group ("A" and "B" companies) invaded Sicily as part of "Operation Husky". The role of the Beach Group was to land supplies until a harbour could be captured. On 12 July, 20 Beach Group moved inland, behind the advancing infantry, but by 22 July the half-battalion was in the line, capturing Mount Scalpello. On 4 August the half-battalion moved to Catania, where they remained on garrison duty.
- 9 September 1943 the 21st Beach Group ("C" and "D" companies) invaded Salerno. The assault went in at dawn against stiff opposition, and rather than take its allotted role the half-battalion was moved straight into the line. However there was little action until 13 September when the half-battalion was attacked by armoured half-tracks. This happened again on 15 September when 'D' company was overrun. However, the half-tracks didn't assault 'D' company as such, they ran over the slit trenches until picked off by 6pdr anti-tank guns. On 17 September the half-battalion was moved back into Reserve, and by 23 September they were back on the beaches unloading cargo.
- 18 November 1943 the two halves of the 2/4th Battalion were re-united at Portecagnano near Naples. However, there was no immediate employment, and orders were received to send cadres to the three battalions in the Hampshire Brigade (this was rescinded after protests). However, six officers and 77 other ranks were posted away to form the "2/4th Hampshire Training Centre", three officers and 188 other ranks were assigned to 'porterage duties' and another detachment of 50 men was assigned to help the Provost Corps with traffic duties.
- 29 February 1944 the 2/4th Battalion was back in the line in Italy, near Garigliano, as part of 28th Infantry Brigade, in 4th Division. This was the same ground where the Hampshire Brigade had suffered through the Italian winter. The battalion was relieved for short periods on a regular basis before returning to the line.
- 11 May 1944 the 2/4th Battalion assisted the other two battalions of their brigade to cross the River Rapido as part of the assault on Monte Cassino. The river and bank were under intense enemy fire, and the river so swift that swimmers from 2/4th had to cross with lines to enable the boats to get across. Troops got across the river but could make little headway against the storm of machine gun fire. The 2/4th could not get across to join their fellow battalions, and so on 12 May they came under command of 12th Infantry Brigade and crossed via a bridge on 13 May. Supported by 17th/21st Lancers and their Sherman tanks, the 2/4th Battalion attacked along the river, taking 200 prisoners. On 14 May, back in 28th Brigade, the 2/4th attempted to cross the River Pioppeta . The bridge for tanks sunk in the mud, and the Battalion took 100 casualties in two minutes. The 2/4th waded the river, but in spite of heavy casualties and fierce resistance, the advance continued. During this advance, Captain Wakeford won the Victoria Cross. By 6.30pm all objectives had been captured, and the 2/4th reorganised on a three-company basis. On 16 May the battalion was relieved. Two days later, Cassino was captured by the Polish Corps.
- 22 June 1944 the 2/4th battalion was back in the line near the village of Villastrada, between Lake Chiusi and Lake Trasimeno to north of Rome. On 24 June a major attack was launched on that section of the Trasimene Line by 2 Somerset Light Infantry supported by the tanks of 12 Canadian Armoured Regiment. 2/4 Hants were to follow on, but their entry into battle was delayed until the next day. Having passed through the village of Vaiano, which they found unoccupied, an attack was launched on a ridge being held by the German 1st Parachute Division. Although "C" Company established a foothold on the ridge, occupying a farmhouse, that night a fierce German counter-attack was made by the Germans, who overran the company headquarters. Fighting was close and confused, and the company ran low on ammunition. It was forced back to literally the last ditch, but hung on. At dawn the next day, 26 June, the battalion counter-attacked and managed to recapture their previous positions; the Germans were withdrawing to the Arezzo Line. The 2/4th Battalion followed up, coming into action again on 21 July. Supported by the North Irish Horse, a steady advance was made. The battalion was then taken out of the line again – some platoons were down to ten men each with no officer.
- 28 July 1944 the 2/4th attacked Santa Lucia, a small but fierce battle which was captured on 30 July. The enemy then withdrew, and the 2/4th moved up to the River Arno. On 10 August the battalion was withdrawn.
- 15 September 1944 the 2/4th began its assault on the Gothic Line, attacking across the River Marano and capturing Casa Bagli. All the first day objectives were achieved, and the 2/4th defended them on 16 September against German counter-attacks. On 17 September the battalion captured Cerasola, and were relieved the following day. The battalion then moved north behind the army's advance, arriving in time to stand by to support the Hampshire Brigade's assault on Forli during November. During 22 November the 2/4th attacked and captured a bridgehead over the River Cosina against heavy shelling, and this was the battalion's last action in Italy.
- 11 December 1944 the 2/4th Battalion was flown to Greece in the bomb-bays of Wellington and Liberator bombers in response to the outbreak of the Greek Civil War, arriving 12 December. The E.L.A.S. army, armed and trained by the British, was trying to overthrow the Greek Government. On arrival, the Battalion was split up, primarily defending the airfield, then clearing E.L.A.S. forces from Athens. This did involve some fighting, and the 2/4th Battalion lost three men killed. The 2/4th Battalion then settled down to peace-keeping duties.
- 6 May 1945 the 2/4th was moved to Crete to take charge of the Germans, who had surrendered, and they ended the war there.
7th Battalion[edit]
- The 7th Battalion was originally the 5/7th Battalion until it was split into the 5th and 7th battalions, both part of the Territorial Army. It remained in the UK until after D-Day, when it was sent to Normandy as reinforcements with the 130th Brigade attached to 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division.
- 22 June 1944 the 7th Battalion landed near Le Hamel. They were with 130th Brigade (with 4th and 5th Dorsets) and were initially in reserve.
- 10 July 1944 the 7th Battalion attacked Maltot, supported by tanks of 9th RTR. The village was defended by Waffen SS troops supported by Tiger tanks. Both the 7th Battalion and 9th RTR suffered severe casualties, and although the 7th Battalion managed to fight its way into the village it was withdrawn. The 7th Battalion suffered 18 Officer and 208 Other Rank casualties, but was back in the line two days later.
- 30 July 1944 the 7th Battalion attacked the village of Cahagnes. This was fought in typical 'bocage' countryside, but after the initial attack by the brigade ran into difficulties, 7th Battalion deployed from reserves and captured Cahagnes, beating off several German counter-attacks. On 2 August, the 7th Battalion moved up to Jurques, and after a short stiff fight advanced to "Point 132", close to Mount Pincon. On 6 August, the 7th Battalion put in a deceptive attack on Mount Pincon, making a diversion whilst 129th Brigade made a flank attack. During heavy fighting, "C" Company lost many casualties, including all the officers. Following the successful flank attack by 129th Brigade, the 7th Battalion mopped up and concentrated near Mauny by 10 August.
- 14 August 1944 the 7th Battalion captured St Denis de Mere after a bombardment by 9 artillery regiments. The 7th Battalion took 74 prisoners. The 7th Battalion then prepared for "The Breakout".
- 25 August 1944 the 7th Battalion moved 50 miles north-east to Conches, and by 27 August, the 7th Battalion was across the River Seine. The 7th Battalion then participated in the capture of Tilly, and thereafter spent 11 days taking in reinforcements and resting.
- 8 September 1944 the 7th Battalion started to move to Brussels for temporary garrison duty, arriving the next day. This easy duty was welcome; since landing in Normandy in June, the 7th Battalion had lost (including wounded) 35 Officers and 450 Other Ranks.
- 15 September 1944 the 7th Battalion joined 130th Brigade for operation "Market Garden". On 20 September, the 7th Battalion moved through Eindhoven to Grave. The 7th Battalion was tasked with defending the southern end of the two large bridges over the Waal. On 23 September, the 7th Battalion was sent into the line, fighting west of the bridges in the Valburg-Elst area. The 7th Battalion then moved to the "Island" and stayed there until 4 October, before moving to the Groesbeek-Mook area on the Dutch-German border.
- 9 November 1944 the 7th Battalion was moved to Maastricht, and then moved around as divisional reserve. On 19 December the German Ardennes offensive caused the 7th Battalion to move north of Liege to guard the bridges over the Meuse. On 26 December, the 7th Battalion moved to Aachen, and on 12 January moved again to Teveren.
- 22 January 1945 the 7th Battalion captured Putt, then Waldenrath, and on 25 January captured Dremmen and Porselen.
- 15 February 1945 the 7th Battalion advanced south-east from Cleves as part of the big Reichwald offensive. Over two days fighting for Berkhofel, the 7th Battalion lost 70 casualties. It was relieved on 17 February.
- 24 March 1945 the 7th Battalion crossed the Rhine in assault craft, consolidating on the far bank and then advancing across the IJssel Canal to Milligen, which was captured on 26 March. German resistance was collapsing, and the 7th Battalion moved over the Twente Canal on 1 April, liberating Hengelo.
- 9 April 1945 the 7th Battalion took part in operation "Forward On", sweeping through Germany against minimal resistance. However, on 13 April the Battalion had a hard fight for Cloppenburg, a fight which was as hard as any they had fought, vicious hand-to-hand fighting from street to street. Luckily they were supported by tanks, sappers and a single AVRE, which demolished several buildings with its petard. Cloppenburg was captured the next day.
- 19 April, the 7th Battalion embarked on its final advance, moving through Bahlum, Bremen, then Bremerhavan, capturing hundreds then thousands of prisoners. The 7th Battalion reached Gnarrenburg on 3 May, and were still there when the Germans surrendered the following day.
The Home Based Battalions[edit]
Although the Hampshire Regiment sent 6 battalions overseas, many more stayed at home.
- The 6th Battalion (Duke of Connaught's Own) was converted into two anti-tank Regiments and became part of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. The 59th Anti-Tank Regiment RA served with the 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division and went with them to Normandy; the 69th Anti-Tank Regiment RA fought with the British Expeditionary Force in France in 1940, and then served in Burma.
- The original 8th Battalion (Princess Beatrice's Own Isle of Wight Rifles) was made into an artillery battery in 1937. A new 8th Battalion was formed at Southampton in December 1939. It subsequently split into the 1/8th and 2/8th Battalions, before the 2/8th Battalion was renamed the 13th Battalion, and then both battalions were re-formed into the 8th Battalion again, which was subsequently renamed the 30th Battalion. It was disbanded in September 1942.
- The 9th Battalion was formed in the Isle of Wight in July 1940, and in 1942 was converted to armour as 157th Regiment of the Royal Armoured Corps. Units converted in this way continued to wear their infantry cap badge on the black beret of the RAC.[7] It was disbanded in August 1943.
- The 10th Battalion was formed in Aldershot in July 1940, and in 1941 became 147th Regiment RAC.[8] Its Churchill tanks were named after Hampshire Regiment battles (the CO's tank was called "Minden") and it went to serve with distinction with 34th Army Tank Brigade in the North West Europe Campaign.[9]
- The 50th Battalion was formed in the Isle of Wight in June 1940, and absorbed the Royal Militia of the Island of Jersey. The Jersey Militia subsequently became the 11th Battalion, whilst the rest of 50th Battalion became the 12th Battalion. The 11th Battalion stayed in the UK until the war ended; the 12th Battalion also stayed in the UK but was disbanded in September 1944.
- The 70th (Young Soldiers) Battalion was formed in Southampton in September 1940, but soon moved to Basingstoke. It was raised for those soldiers around the age who had volunteered for the Army and were not old enough to be conscripted. It was disbanded in July 1943 as the British government lowered the age of conscription to 18.
- The Hampshire Regimental Depot had been in Winchester since long before World War II. In September 1939 it moved to Parkhurst, Isle of Wight, where it stayed for the rest of the war. It contained the Regimental Infantry Training Centre, the Regimental Auxiliary Territorial Service, and at its peak was over 3,000 men strong. It also sponsored the Regimental Mascot, "Blang" the tiger, who lived in London Zoo.
Post war and amalgamation[edit]
In 1946 the regiment was awarded the title of Royal Hampshire Regiment in recognition of its service during the Second World War.[10][11]
The unit served in Northern Ireland (Operation Banner) and during the Gulf War prior to the amalgamation.
In 1992, as part of the Options for Change reorganisations, the regiment merged with the Queen's Regiment to become the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment.

Walkthrough part 32
Red Steel 2 Walkthrough
With most of the optional missions completed and 9/10 Ammunition Dumps collected you can enter the cathedral door marked on your minimap. The enemies inside the church can be easily eliminated with well-placed shots to the head. If you purchased the Sidewinder rifle you'll be able to knock them off quite fast.
Climb the ladder at the north end of the church to score the final Ammunition Dump (10/10). Floating above a short fence at the south end of the church is a Sheriff Star (Chase 16/19).
The southwestern corner of the church interior has a door you can force open with the butt of your sword. Inside is a Token (Chase 10/13) and several crates full of cash and ammo.
Now you can head down the stairs marked on your map. At the bottom, hit the switch to lift the gate. A new enemy type lurks on the other side.
Boss: Katakara Chaingunner
This miniboss will appear throughout the game so let this be a tutorial of sorts. The Bear is Chaingunner's Achilles' Heel. Use The Bear to stop him from firing temporarily and then dash around the back of the massive gunner to attack his back.
You should be able to get in several Guillotines before he recovers. Immediately activate The Bear again and repeat the process until you get a finisher prompt. The finisher must be activated from the enemy's rear as well. Kill him to finish the "Welcoming Committee" mission.
Enter the gate on the far side of the room and gather the loot from the crates and the Safe. Return to the Casino by heading up the stairs and out of the church. You should see a smattering of lesser foes on your way but they shouldn't hinder you.
Enter the Casino and approach the board to get your final area Mission.

Where we left off: Dana finally realized what a mega creep Leo is and headed back home, Carrie was kidnapped by Javadi's men, and Saul was told he's not going to be become director of the CIA.
"Still Positive"
In this episode, Dana proves that she is a complete nightmare of a daughter, Saul reveals that he knows Javadi better than he initially let on, and Carrie is so pregnant.
Let's just get the big reveal of the episode out of the way: Carrie is definitely pregnant. With whose baby? We don't know yet, but we can only hope that it's Brody's and not the random guy she met in the liquor store because… come on. Although, either way you look at it, Homeland just became much more like Grey's Anatomy than it has ever been before. We all know Carrie, and this is just not something she's going to be handle well, especially since she's presently in the middle of this "catching terrorists" thing. Adding this twist just means we're going to be seeing a lot more of sad and overwhelmed Carrie, and that's the worst.
While Carrie's little surprise was the classic last-minute-of-Homeland shocker that the writers love to include at the end, the meat of the episode is a cat and mouse chase featuring Saul and Javadi. Apparently Saul has known the Iranian intelligence mastermind since the late '70s when he betrayed Saul in Iran and killed four of his informants. As revenge, Saul helped Javadi's wife and son escape the terrorist's grasp. Now we know just how invested Saul really is in this plot to catch Javadi, which is a solid layer for him. Sometimes we forget that Saul has been doing this whole spy thing much longer than we give him credit for, and that the show isn't just about Carrie.
Where things get really interesting, though, is when Carrie waits approximately five whole seconds before she drops a massive truth bomb and let's Javadi know that they've trapped him. It's a little strange that Saul and Carrie spent over three months planning and executing a ploy to capture Javadi, and then after less than an hour of it actually working out, Carrie shows him all of her cards. I guess there are positives and negatives to the rash move. No, we don't get to see Carrie be an excellent double agent anymore, but we do get to see the plot move forward faster than it usually does. Also — and this might be the most important positive to Carrie's move — Carrie is finally in control again. We've grown so used to seeing Carrie play second to Saul, but this time she's calling the shots. It's no fun to watch Carrie be insecure and unsure of herself (especially since we're going to have enough of that with a baby plot to deal with); we love strong, confident Carrie way more.
So with Javadi finally playing by their rules, Carrie sets a meeting point where she'll take him to Saul. But uh-oh, Javadi is seriously one evil man, and he has some things to finish up before he can meet with Saul. In one of the bloodiest and most terrifying scenes this season, Javadi shows up at the home of his now ex-wife, and ruthlessly stabs her to death with a broken bottle. And as Quinn notes as he takes Javadi away from the crime scene, "This is just the f**king beginning." Yes, Quinn, yes it is.
Meanwhile in Dana's fantasy world where she's the only one that matters, she changes her last name (Brody) to her mom's maiden name (Lazaro). This move is actually a nice touch and it gives us a feeling that she's attempting to start fresh and finally move on from her father's path of destruction. Too bad she takes it step too far and casually lets her mother know that she's moving in with some girl named Angela that we've never met before. Here is what went through my mind while I watched the ridiculous Dana scene:
"What is wrong with Dana? What goes on in her head? She is a mother's worst nightmare. Look at Chris chillin' in the background — I think he might have forgotten how to speak. How is everyone okay with this? Where is she going? Who is Angela? What is happening? This isn't normal. This episode was going places until Dana happened."
Okay, Dana. That sounds like a great idea. We'll see you back in your mother's home when you realize that you don't know everything about life yet. But hey, on the upside, maybe this means that Chris will finally get some attention from his mom, and you know, actually have a line to say.
Highlight of the episode: The fact that Carrie's pregnancy test takes less than a second to give her the results.
Upset of the episode: Still no Brody. At this point, it's not that I'm upset that he's not in the episode, it's that I don't know when he's coming back and I'm tired of waiting for him. Either bring him back or kill him for good.

nice one
Very nice one today!!!
Nice game!
Easy but good.
Sehr gut!
Hmmm I thought there might be another solution there. Maybe I missed something (most likely).
Qg8 (instead og Qh6) works too.
Yes, that's what I was thinking exactly, although I think the rook takes and then can block bishop... so that may be why it is not the proper solution.
good & eazy
love the sac
Nice interaction between the Knight and Bishop.
Here is the actual game. (Black actually won the game. The roles were reversed for the puzzle in order to make it easier for discussion. Also, the game ended after the 28th move, but the puzzle added the final moves to show us the final result.)
i just saw the whole game you posted. out loud, (and i'm alone here) i was like "oohhhh, MAN!" wow, that's so cool! white prepares for mate, then he is brought to a forced mate in such a dirp-faced moment! lol i found trhis pretty cool. thank you for that.
Is there also a smothered mate here?
Qg5+ Kf8 (forced)
Re8+ R x e8
Qg8+ R x g8
Ktd7 (or Kth7) mate
no. Q x d7 or kg7
Weird how you failed to see that the king could go to either g7 or e7 after the knight checks.
Yes, I feel like an idiot it's so obvious.
Wow... nice one!! the whole game is amazing (thanx IncrediBill for posting it).
ok !
easy puzzle and nice game supplied by IIncrediBill.
Excellent Puzzle. Solution at this point was quite EZ though.
Thanks IncrediBill for the actual game.
Sorry but there is a second solution to this puzzle:
1.Qg3+ Kf8 ( 1...Kxf6 2.Qg5# )2.Bh6+ Rxh6 3.Qg8#
pretty easy :)
I like it....

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 4,479 ViewsThis movie is originally an LL Christmas Collab organised by DiaLock and it seems that he has been addicted to Maple Story and has not been able to continue this collab anymore, and I've been kicked out from the Lock Legion. I didn't want to let this movie go to waste so I submitted it as an individual short.
This is also my last submission to the Lock Legion and I want to wish everyone in Newgrounds Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2006!
Good sound!
Now this is what I am talking about! I loved the sounddesign. Many flash artist do not consider sound when they make animation. Sound is 50 % of the animation. So keep it up man.
LL Christmas Goodbye
A bit like the I Love Egg toons if you ask me. I'm not particularly a fan of clocks or locks but this makes an acception. Have youselves a nice day.
This is just the thing we need as an audience - a quick, straight to the punch joke about an automated gift in a box helping spread the joy of Christmas and the joys of the holidays. The audio was fairly good with various different sound effects, including seperate noises for varying things from lightbulbs and trees. I also liked the background music and was surprised you could fit it all in such a small file size. Considering the size, the artwork was fairly nice - each charactter was original in design and came together in the end.

Great Food - Good TimeSubmitted by Jonathan (not verified) on Sat, 05/15/2010 - 7:02am.
I went to the festival last night with my Wife, Kids, and Parents. The Greek dancing was great, the food was excellent, and they had Greek "Mythos" Beer. Excellent lager. Everyone should go! »

Mac App Store shots reveal Parental Controls, store helper app
9to5Mac apparently snuck its way into the Mac App Store a little early (the marketplace is set to open up on January 6), and has brought back some screenshots of the app's OS X trappings. You can see the app's icon already, and the app will have a login screen very similar to what you already use in iTunes to install iOS apps.
Parental controls are available in the store's preferences, and various installs will all be handled by another app called "store helper." Those controls are configurable for various ages, so you'll be able to define if you want apps to run for users over 4, 9, 12, or 17.
Unfortunately, The Mac App Store won't support Game Center or in-app purchases at launch, but given the growing popularity of both of those elements, that may change in the future. We're inching ever closer to the Mac App Store's release, and developers are undoubtedly working even over the holidays to make sure their apps are ready to go at launch. It should be a nice way to kick off 2011 for Apple.

South Florida 49
(16-11, 6-9 Big East)
(7) Villanova 74
(23-4, 12-3 Big East)
9:00 PM ET, February 24, 2010
The Pavilion (Villanova), Villanova, Pennsylvania
Top Performers
South Florida: A. Gilchrist 5 Pts, 8 Reb
Villanova: S. Reynolds 21 Pts, 2 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl
No. 8 Villanova rolls over South Florida as Reynolds shines on senior night
VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Scottie Reynolds walked out with his parents to his usual ovation. He left to an even louder one from the appreciative Villanova fans, chanting his name as he hugged his coach and each of his grateful teammates.
This was only the campus finale for Reynolds.He's looking for a few more big acts to the closing weeks of his career.Reynolds dusted off last season's regional final highlight video to motivate the Wildcats, then scored 21 points to lead Villanova (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today, No. 7 AP) to a 74-49 win over South Florida on Wednesday night."We just saw the intensity, we saw how together that team was," Reynolds said. "We're trying to duplicate that energy, that pride. We're not going to be the same team, but we have that same intensity, that same pride."Antonio Pena scored 14 points and Corey Stokes added 11 to help the Wildcats (23-4, 12-3 Big East) snap their first two-game losing streak in two years. The Wildcats had sunk from No. 2 in The AP poll and from atop the conference standings after dropping games to Connecticut and Pittsburgh.Back on track, Villanova takes a needed confidence boost into Saturday's big showdown with Big East-leading and fourth-ranked Syracuse.Reynolds and fellow senior Reggie Redding called a team meeting last night to set the Wildcats straight."I told them it needed to be done," coach Jay Wright said. "I told them we've talked enough. They've been doing it all year, so it's not been anything different."The Wildcats watched video of their 78-76 victory over Pittsburgh in the regional final -- won on Reynolds' half-court dash for a last-second basket that sent them to their first Final Four since 1985.It must have worked.The Wildcats were only briefly threatened after opening the game on an 8-0 burst. They also honored a senior class that finished with a 37-game winning streak at their on-campus arena, the Pavilion.Dominique Jones scored 12 for the Bulls (16-11, 6-9) and Mike Mercer had 11. USF is still chasing its best record since it won 19 games and reached the NIT in 2001-02.There was little the Bulls could do to stop Villanova at home. Reynolds highlighted the senior class festivities and heard the loudest ovation of the night. Billed as having "delivered one of the most extraordinary careers in Villanova history," the guard who led them to the Final Four last season scored nine points in the first half for an early lead.Stokes hit 3s on consecutive possessions to send the Wildcats into the break with a nine-point lead. It would have been double digits had Anthony Crater not hit a buzzer-beating 3 going into the break.The 3 incensed Wright, barking at his team as they hustled into the locker room.The Wildcats couldn't pull away.Jones hit a pair of 3s that sliced the lead to six and suddenly the Bulls had visions of dealing Villanova its third straight loss.Nope.The Wildcats did what they usually do -- always at home: take over."It was a point of the game where you step up and say, 'Hey, we're going to take over this or we're going to let it slip away," Reynolds said. "We stepped up to the challenge."Did they ever.Stokes converted a three-point play and Reynolds scored to make it 53-41. Corey Fisher and Dominic Cheek each stepped in front of passes for steals and easy baskets -- including a rattling one-handed jam from Cheek -- that made it 56-41.Threat over. Losing streak gone."It seemed like they shifted into another gear," USF coach Stan Heath said. "They kept hitting, they kept swinging and we just didn't have a response."The two-game skid put a dent in Villanova's bid to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. There's still time for the Wildcats to get back in contention for one of the top seeds. Winning at Syracuse would be a start. The game is officially a sellout and will break the Orange's NCAA record for the largest on-campus crowd to see a college basketball game -- about 35,000.Villanova turned this one into a rout, closing on a 26-8 run over the final 9:01. Reynolds checked out for good with 1:14 left and the Wildcats ahead 74-47. He hugged Wright, then took turns going down the bench hugging his teammates and staff. The crowd bellowed "Scottie Reynolds!" in appreciation of the third-leading scorer in team history.Villanova shot 54 percent in the second half and Reynolds was 7 of 14 from the floor overall."I feel like we're playing good basketball again," Wright said.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press
