  Raglan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Raglan is a seaside town and surrounding district associated with Whaingaroa Harbour (also known as Raglan Harbour) on the west coast of the Waikato region in New Zealand's North Island.
Eight kilometres from the Raglan township is Manu Bay, which features what is claimed to be longest, most accessible and consistent left-hand surf break in the southern hemisphere.
The town was named after Fitzroy Somerset, 1st Lord Raglan, who was the commander of British forces in the Crimean War at the time the township was settled in 1855.

 FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1854 he was promoted to full General and appointed to the command of the British troops sent to the Crimea in co-operation with a strong French army under Marshal St Arnaud and afterwards, up to May 1855, under Marshal Canrobert.
Lord Raglan and his staff were at the time blamed by the press and the government for the hardships and sufferings of the British soldiers in the terrible Crimean winter before the Siege of Sevastopol, owing to shortages of food and clothing.
Lord Raglan was to blame not only for representing matters in a too sanguine light, but also refusing to purchase supplies of wood from the Ottomans to be used for making floors for the tented buildings of the British camp and also to allow the troops to light fires, essential in the bitter damp winter.

Raglan always competed at the top end of the 5-inch lathe market but confined their range to just variations on a single design - a backgeared, screwcutting lathe that passed through three distinct evolutionary stages: Little John Mk.
The Raglan vertical milling slide (which fitted in place of the top slide) and the leadscrew clasp nuts were also either copies or bought-in Atlas components.
All Raglan lathes were works-tested in a "free-standing" position and, when bolting them down to a bench, care has to be taken not to stress and twist the bed.

 Fitzroy James Henry Somerset: Lord Raglan (1788--1855)
Raglan was promoted to the rank of Major-General on 27 May 1825; in 1826 he went with Wellington to St. Petersburg on the accession of Nicholas I. Whilst there he assisted in the negotiations for a common action against Turkey on behalf of Greece, which was trying to gain its independence from the Porte.
Raglan became a Colonel of the 53rd Foot on 19 November 1830, a Lieutenant-General on 28 June 1838 and was created a Knight Grand Cross in the Order of the Bath on 24 September 1852.
Raglan was accused of not visiting his troops and was told that a change of leadership was all that would satisfy the public.

 Raglan Castle
From a distance, Raglan seemed to have a reddish cast, although on approaching the gatehouse, the castle's yellow sandstone becomes obvious.
In 1492, Elizabeth Herbert married Sir Charles Somerset, a natural son of Henry Beaufort, third duke of Somerset, and it is to the Somerset family as earls of Worcester that we owe the final architectural touches of the castle.
Raglan was like a fairy tale castle I was afraid would disappear if I looked away.

Raglan became secretary to Wellington in 1818, retaining that position until the latter's death (1852) when Raglan succeeded him as master general of ordinance.
As commander of the British force in the Crimean War, Raglan again showed himself a brave officer and was made field marshal after the battle of Inkerman.
However, he was handicapped by his joint command with the French commander, Marshal Saint-Arnaud, by weather conditions, and by the inefficiency of government departments and became the object of bitter criticism because of slow military progress and the sufferings of the troops.

 Sundance
Raglan refers to a sleeve that extends in one piece to the neckline of a coat, shirt or sweater, with seams from the armhole to the neck.
Though the origin of the term is most often attributed to a style of coat worn by Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Raglan (1788-1855), the raglan sleeve is most predominant in baseball shirts, where the sleeves are usually a different color than the body of the shirt.
Raglan sleeves are often easier to fit, as the shape contributes a natural stretchiness, particularly in sweaters.
