One of the best horses ever to come from the stable of police research since Major Melville Lee. Determined, dedicated, forthright, provocative and a man of the highest integrity, he was a peculiarly sensitive interpreter of the hitherto neglected 18th and 19th century British Police affairs of a kind who had no equal. His First World War experiences and of the many races and nationalities coupled with his deep and thorough researches into the origin of the British Police Principles upon which the British Police is based which can be found in all his works he had a fervent desire to see those principles applied on an international scale — prompted him to write “Police Principles and the Problem of War”, which was published by Oxford University Press shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War.

У раду се анализира утицај наслеђа Српског народног женског савеза, на оснивање, уобличавање циљева рада, структуру организације, њен хуманитарни и еманципаторски капацитет, као и на процес и конструисања родно дефинисане идеологије југословенства приликом оснивања Народног женског савеза Срба, Хрвата и Словенаца 1919. године. Реч је о организацији која је непосредно после Првог светског рата објединила грађански део женског покрета у новој држави. Искуство учешћа у рату и ратни доприноси жена из Србије значајно су се разликовали од позадинских искустава жена из других делова Краљевине СХС. Анализа стратегије и политика коју су заговарале водеће представнице Српског савеза на оснивачком конгресу у Београду 1919. године указује да су се ослањале на вишеструке легитимитете српске државе (државна независност, уставни поредак, институције) – победнице у рату, на жртвовање и страдање народа, велике доприносе жена из Србије ратној победи и на дугу традицију предратног женског удруживања на хуманитарном и еманципаторском плану у Краљевини Србији. The paper examines the influence of heritage of the Serbian National Women’s Union on the establishment of the National Women’s Union of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1919, its objectives, structure, humanitarian and emancipatory capacity and the process of shaping the gender-based ideology of Yugoslavism. Just after the First World War, this organisation gathered the civic part of the female movement in the new state. War experiences and contributions of women from Serbia significantly differed from the background experiences of women from other parts of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The analysis of the strategy and policies advocated by the leading representatives of the Serbian Union at the Founding Congress in Belgrade in 1919 suggests that they relied on multiple legitimacies of the state – victors in the war, sacrifices and suffering of the people, great contributions of women from Serbia to the war victory, and the long tradition of pre-war female joint humanitarian and emancipatory efforts in the Kingdom of Serbia.

In late October 1919 the Danish author Emil Bønnelycke published a highly ambitious war novel, Spartanerne (The Spartans), in which he merged the war experiences of a Spartan soldier of the Antique world, a soldier fighting in the trenches of the First World War, and that of a young Danish recruit being trained for war. The three different war experiences mirror each other in this modernist novel that makes use of chronological jump cutting à la D. W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation (1915) and imagines Denmark being drawn into the world war that had ended scarcely a year before the time of the novel's publication.

Abstract This essay describes Ivor Gurney’s use of the word ‘strafe’ in his poems of the First World War. At the outbreak of the War, the word was a new arrival in the English national consciousness. It had come to prominence in the German Army’s slogan, ‘Gott strafe England’ (‘God punish England’). Allied counterpropagandists soon redeployed this slogan as evidence that the German people were hateful and frenzied, and it gained currency as an informal English noun for a German artillery bombardment. In poems dating from during and after the War, Gurney draws on ‘strafe’s’ interlinguistic existence to express his contempt for the two powers’ propaganda. In treating the word as fluctuating between two languages, Gurney stages his separation from both English and German narratives of nationhood. Tracking his use of the word ‘strafe’ shows how he described the importance of individual experiences for understanding the War, portrayed a sense of ‘Wonder’ that he suggested could define soldier poets, and expressed his post-war belief that England had betrayed him. By outlining how Gurney attached these possibilities to ‘strafe’, this essay contributes to the wider critical understanding of how and why he wrote about his War experiences.
