Gallipoli

In the summer of 1914, Moseley traveled to Australia to report his new results. War broke out and he hurried back to England. He enlisted as a second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers and was killed in action in Gallipoli in 1915, a victim of World War I. [Pg.18]

One deficiency was lack of inter-service preparation for combined operations. Sir Ian Hamilton, the general in charge at the Dardanelles, was ignorant of the existence of the armoured landing craft that Fisher had ordered for service in the Baltic until told of their existence by naval officers of the Mediterranean fieet. These specialised vessels were not available to him until over three months after the first landings on the Gallipoli peninsula. Most troops went ashore in open boats towed by lighters, and consequently suffered heavy casualties from enemy fire. [Pg.58]

For a historiography survey, see Edward Spiers, Gallipoli , in Brian Bond (ed.), The First World War and British Military History (Oxford Clarendon Press, 1991), pp. 165-88. For Churchill s part, see Michael Howard, Churchill and the First World War , in Robert Blake and W. Roger Louis (eds.), Churchill (Oxford University Press, 1993), pp. 129-45, at pp. 137-8. For lack of staff work and Hankey s role, see Gooch, Plans of War, pp. 309-15. The best account of the campaign is Tim Travers, Gallipoli 1915 (Stroud Tempus, 2001). [Pg.88]

Gallipoli. Matters were no more advanced by the Norwegian campaign in 1940. However, amphibious operations became a major feature of the Second World War and investment in commando carriers and specialist landing craft after 1957 for the East of Suez role raised British capability for combined operations to new levels of efficiency. Once more there is no clear trend here from a naval to an air or nuclear phase in the British way of warfare. [Pg.349]

In Naples, the machinery employed by the peasants in tho preparation of Gallipoli oil is of the rudest kind. The olives, when ripe, are allowed to drop from the trees, and are collected and conveyed to the mill, chiefly by women and children. The oil, when expressed, is inclosed in sheep or goat skins, and carried on mules to Gallipoli, where it is allowed to clarify in reservoirs cut In the rock on which the town is built, and its ultimate value depends, in a great measure, on the nature of this cistern. In point of fact, Gallipoli owes its celebrity to the facility of the formation of thesd cisterns, as in them the oil soon clarifies, and may be preserved for a lengthened period without becoming rancid. [Pg.614]

MOSLEY. HENRY 11887-1915). A British chemist who studied under Ernest Rutherford and brilliantly developed the application of X-ray spectra to the study of atomic structure his discoveries resulted in a more accurate positioning of elements in the periodic tahle hy closer determination of atomic numbers.

Moseley had builded better than he knew. It is hard to say what this youthful genius might have accomplished had he lived the normal span of life. Had not that Turkish bullet cut him down in the fullness of his powers at Gallipoli, Moseley would undoubtedly have contributed to the great chemical harvest that was to come. It is safe, however, to say that he could never have outdone his greatest research—the discovery of the Law of Atomic Numbers which solved the riddle of the Periodic Table and the intimate relationship of all the elements. [Pg.202]

Rutherford suggested that this nucleus at the center of the atom was composed of densely packed positively charged particles. Soon after, Henry Moseley, before his early death at Gallipoli in World War I, supplied experimental evidence for these particles, the protons. The other particles in the nucleus, the neutrons, proved a bit harder to pin down because they have no charge. But James Chadwick, taking Rutherford s advice, finally confirmed their existence in 1932. Chadwick measured the rebound of certain radiation from nitrogen and helium and found it corresponded to a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton. ... [Pg.47]

Moseley was looking for element 72 when World War I began. He enlisted in the British Army and was killed at Gallipoli in 1915, cutting short a career that would almost certainly have earned him a Nobel Prize. [Pg.90]

H. G. J. Moseley was one of the many remarkable scientists who worked with Ernest Rutherford. In 1913, Moseley found that the wavelengths of X-rays emitted by an element are related in a precise way to the atomic number of the element. This discovery led to the realization that atomic number, related to the electrical properties of the atom, was more fundamental to determining the properties of the elements than atomic weight. This put the ideas of the periodic table on a more fundamental footing. Moseley s scientific career was very short. He enlisted in the British army during World War I and died in battle in the Gallipoli campaign in 1915. [Pg.183]

This differs from the playwright s approach to a real life event, such as the Battle of Gallipoli. David Williamson s treatment of events in the Peter Weir film Gallipoli is very dramatic, and we do enter the story through the experience of two main characters. The treatment, however, is very different from the narrator approach earlier described for the docudrama. [Pg.180]

Henry Gwyn-Jeffreys Moseley (1887-1915). English physicist. Moseley discovered the relationship between X-ray spec-tra and atomic number. A lieutenant in the Royal Engineers, he was killed in action at the age of 28 during the British campaign in Gallipoli, Turkey. [Pg.290]

Henry Moseley s research career lasted only forty months before tragically ending with his death on a Gallipoli battlefield in World War I. But in his classic study of the x-ray spectra of elements, he established the truly scientific basis of the Periodic Table by arranging chemical elements in the order of their atomic numbers. [Pg.820]

FIGURE 312. The fundamental basis of the Periodic Table is the Atomic Number and not the Atomic Weight- The square root of the frequency of emitted x-rays from different metallic cathodes is imperfectly related to Atomic Mass but directly proportional to Atomic Number. This immediately explained certain anomalies in the Periodic Table. Henry G.J. Moseley, who made this critical discovery, was drafted in World War I and died at Gallipoli at the age of 28 (figure from Bom see Figure 309). [Pg.543]
