Topic: Derby Scheme


  
 First World War.com - Who's Who - Lord Derby
Derby used his newly gained seat in Parliament to air his distinctly right-wring views in the House of Lords, notably as an opponent of the Liberal administration's pre-war reforms.
It was Derby who unveiled what came to be known as the Derby Scheme, a recruitment policy under which men could give their voluntary 'assent' to being called up if necessary; the government in turn promised to call up married men last.
Derby's close relations with the army high command, including Sir Douglas Haig and Sir William Robertson, engendered deep suspicion within Lloyd George, with the consequence that Derby was excluded from most inner council meetings (and was only restrained from resigning by counsel from the military high command).

Derby harbor was far more important than either Bridgeport or New Haven at that time, and the town was a trading center for towns as far north as Newtown and Mattatuck or Waterbury.
It is with extreme reluctance that many Derby people view the passing of this property into the hands of the railroad company, for many see the closing of the docks as another step backwards for Derby and another boost for the younger but more progressive and wide awake city of Shelton

 First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Derby Scheme
Individual politicians - of whom Winston Churchill was notable - advocated a form of conscription in 1914; such voices were not influential however, and there was broad agreement with Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey's assessment that Britain could maintain its European policy with a volunteer army.
Growing battlefront demand however soon outstripped volunteer numbers and in May 1915 Prime Minister Herbert Asquith appointed Lord Edward Derby - himself an opponent of conscription - as Director-General of Recruitment, tasked with rapidly boosting Britain's volunteer army.
Announced in a fanfare of publicity the scheme proved unsuccessful however, and was abandoned in December the same year.

In the East Midlands five schemes were ready to ‘go live’ and a number of others were in preparation, so that all told, more than twenty schools would have benefited over the ten years that the programme was set to run.
Their stated reason for the move was that they had instituted a Strategic Review of capital funding and that it would be 'inappropriate' to continue with the scheme for the time being.
Canon David Edwards, Diocesan Director of Education for Derby Diocese said, "It is more than disappointing that so many schools have had their hopes of a new building dashed by this change of policy at the DfES, we are all extremely angry about this.

 Ultimate Demolition Derby for PC Review - PC Ultimate Demolition Derby Review
Ultimate Demolition Derby sucks all the fun out of its subject matter and replaces it with half-baked driving physics, an ugly graphics engine, and a host of other problems.
Ultimate Demolition Derby does support game controllers, but a controller actually won't work in the game's stunt race mode, because the shift key is required to spin your car when you're in the air.
If Ultimate Demolition Derby succeeds at anything, it does manage to make you want to go out and take part in a real demolition derby--or, to be more precise, it may make you want to get into a car and drive it into some manner of solid object at 100 miles per hour.

 Paris 1918 by David Dutton
The 17th Earl of Derby is best known for his role in forming the Liverpool Pals battalion in 1914 and the introduction of the Derby scheme of enlistment, on the eve of conscription, in 1916.
How Derby came to be the ambassador in Paris at this time is a story in its own right, as he had no experience as a diplomat, and could not speak French.
While obviously not dealing with life at the front, the book does provide us with a fresh perspective on the experience of war and conflict, and there are numerous mentions of some of the leading military characters of the day, many of whom will be familiar to the reader.

 325834 Sapper John Stanley Edwards, Royal Engineers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Lord Derby’s plan to increase the size of the army allowed for men between the ages of 18 and 41 to enlist voluntarily or to attest with an obligation to serve if called up.
Edwards was one of the men who took advantage of the Derby Scheme to attest and await call up for active service.
Since the Scheme covered a 23 three period between ages 18 and 41, and since Edwards was unmarried, it is apparent that Class B, Group 6 was for unmarried men who were 23 years of age.

The man in the street, where so much was held from his knowledge in a war over which the veil of secrecy was drawn more tightly every month, sometimes had cause to complain of the inequality in the treatment of individuals.
It was new; it involved the disclosure of private affairs; and it led to a fear that cases might not be fairly and impartially dealt with.
Lord Derby's canvass showed very distinctly that it was not lack of courage that was keeping some men back.
