  • October 2013 Site
    Editors Notes As you will see elsewhere in this issue, members at the AGM voted to support the Committee in seeking to make improve- ments to our website. After seeking quotations from three organ- isations, local company ‘moduleIT’ was selected by the Committee as the preferred bidder to re-design the current web October 2013 site. The Committee has decided to form a small sub-committee News to oversee the development of the new website. Our Secretary, Cheryl Mayo, has volunteered to be one of the ‘chosen three’. OCTOBER 2013 Cheryl will be using her experience in commerce to ensure we get a bright attractive functional new design. As current web Editor: master, I will join the sub-committee to ensure that the existing Keith Walker functionality is successfully carried over to the new web site. 51 Lancaster Drive However, after serving for 10 years , I will subsequently be Lydney standing down as web master. Thus we are seeking a volunteer GL15 5SJ from amongst you good people, the membership, to join our 01594 843310 sub-committee and ultimately take over the new post of ‘web editor’. Chair: The big advantage of using experts to redesign the web site is Cecile Hunt that they will take care of ‘coding’ the site, and the web editor 01594 842164 will just essentially need word processing skills to help keep the content of the web site up to date and interesting. The person taking up the post of web editor will also join the Committee, so Vice-Chair & Treasurer will have the opportunity to take a wider interest in the workings Mary Sullivan of the Society.

This year’s report has been something of a headache for our contributors, and particularly for Tony Eveleigh and John Pullen who coordinate the Sys - tematic List of sightings. In its wisdom, the British Ornithological Union has made several major changes to the list – for instance, you may be sur - prised to note that the Long-Tailed Tit is no longer a tit. It’s officially in with the warblers. The list has always changed a bit over the years, as ornithologists and sci - entists have found different relationships between the species - but then they discovered DNA. The discovery has affected everything from paternity suits to crime de - tection; now it is altering the taxonomy of birds. The effect has been quite drastic and the list will probably change more frequently in the future.

Page 12-13 LINTON ……………………………………. Page 14-18 UPTON BISHOP ……………………………………. Page 19-21 WESTON UNDER PENYARD …………………………………….. Page 22-29 Appendix: Photographs of various memorials and cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) ……………………….. Page 30-38 3 INTRODUCTION All the church memorials created in this area to honour the sacrifice of those that fell in the First World War were funded by public subscription. We can only guess at the impact of the loss of so many young men locally, particularly in a mainly agricultural society, but it is clear that families were numb with grief at the scale of the calamity. For many, the memorials must have represented a place of quiet reflection for a lost son or husband. Each Armistice Day commemoration, the memorials were surely a source of sadness tinged with pride for the community at large? The outbreak of the Second World War must have been galling for this generation who had lost loved ones fighting in what they believed was the war to end all wars. The majority of memorials are specifically dedicated to those from the parish who were killed in action. However, this link could be by birth, home address or place of work. As memorials were paid for by donations from parishioners it appears some named are not local and simply have a family connection. Several names appear on more than one memorial in the area confirming that this was a closely knit community.
