My own introduction to the subject was a little over forty years ago when 1 was still at school, and though 1 did not work at it seriously during my years in the army, yet it was always in the back of my mind and now, though 1 am engaged in both Heraldry and Genealogy in a professionaI capacity, 1 still have a great deal to learn. Tbis book represents the fruits of a considerable amount of research, and as il is research which can be of considerable help to others 1 have tried to set out in these pages what 1 think will be of assistance to them. Many people look on Heraldry and Genealogy as being dry subjects which would possibly be of interest to nobody but a snob. but how far this is Prom the truth, and 1 am glad to say that the last fi€teen or twenty years have produced a terrific crop of students, by no means ali of whom are themselves armigerous, who are anxious to learn about and enjoy the fascinations of Heraldry. Furthemore, though there has always been a considerable number of people keen to find out sornething of their own family history, yet the last few years seem to have brought out even more than usual. Throughout the years 1 have gained a great deal from such works as Shield and Crest by Julian Franklyn. Boutells Herafdry as revised by C. W. Scott-Giles and J. P. Brooke-Little, Scots Heraidry by Sir Thomas Innes of Learney, to say nothing of the many and varied tieles by LRslie Pine. AI1 of these 1: commend to my readers, yet 1 feel that a Dictionary of Heraldry and Related Subjects, such as this, can be used as a quick reference by any and everybody, and for this reason 1 have grouped the four parts together. To my wife 1 give my thanks for her encouragement, particularly in the early days of my research, and in recent months for her criticism of the illuslrations. To my secretary Glynis Kirkbride 1 give my thanks for the patient way she has taken dictation, then typed the manuscript. FinaIly 1 hope my readers will obtain as much joy from reading the pages of this book as 1 have experienced in putting it together. PART ONE HERALDRY HERALDRY As A keen Heraldist for many years 1have always hoped for the publication of an up-to-date Dictionary of Heraldry, as the last one was published over 100 years ago and, though stiH extrernely useful, is of course out of date in many ways. However, nothing seems fo materialise from any of the many Heraldic writers and so eventually 1 decided to write one myself. A Dictionary of Heraldry if properly used can be an extremely valuable book. It is never designed to give exhaustive information on any one particular subject but to provide sufficient information at least to give its user enough general information about a particular subject for his immediate needs. After all, if one is at a loss to how the meaning of a word in every- day life one makes reference to one of the standard dictionaries. One does not expect to get a complete explanation of al1 the whys and wherefo~es about it. but enough information to lmow its general rneanjng. Heraldry is an extremely Fascinating subject wllich is piaying a much wider part in al1 our lives today than at almost any time in history. During the MiddIe Ages probably a greater use was made of armorial bearings, in that, though al1 who possessed them displayed them more widely, their use was restricted almost entirely to the NobiJity. Today, however. personal arms can be used by almost anybody, providing he is a straiglltforward and decent living citizen. Furthermore, arms are used by cities, towns, I~ospitals, schools and many other well known institutions, and even some of the larger and well established industrial companies. This means that aImost everybody both male and female owes a Ioyalty to one or more persons or bodies bearing arms. During World Wars 1 and II a great many rnembers of the community scrved with the forces and bear a loyalty to a particular unit or formatioii. In the case of the Navy it would have been a ship's badge; if it was the Army there would have been a regimental or corps badge together with a formation sign; in the case of the Royal Air Force there were the squadron badges, many of which became exceedingly famous. Al1 this is Heraldry and though service badges may be trated as one of the Rclatad Subjects yet it is still part of the Heraldic study. Royal Heraldry though liglitly touched upon in these pages is again a definite study of its own and a particularly interesting one, too. Much of the information 1 have gathered in compiling this work of reference has been obtained from or verified in those excellent books on Heraldry by C. W. Scott-GiIes and Julian Franklyn, to whom I gladly give fullest acknowledgement. Finally 1 hope that all students of Heraldry WUfind this reference of value. We are al1 students of Heraldry however knowledgeable we may be, because it is a subject in which one can never learn everythuig and that, too. is one of its great fascinations.

    Frame — a re-enactment of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Twenty-two seconds of footage of the as- sassination, taken in Dallas in 1963 by Abra- ham Zapruda, was sold to Life magazine on the night of the shooting for $150,000. Life published stills from the film shortly after- wards. (Later, the Zapruda family would be paid $10 million by the US government for rights to the film). Stills were also re- produced in the Warren Commission Report of September 1964. The Warren Commis- sion also used the film as the basis for a se- ries of reconstructions that served as part of their investigation. The film itself was not broadcast until 1975. Perhaps more than any other, this moving image defined the turbu- lence of the 1960s for a wide American public during the 1970s.

Ballistic testing was conducted to estimate the velocity at which 50% of 12-bore lead spherical projectiles (V50) would be expected to perforate this clothing system when mounted on gelatine (a tissue simulant used in wound ballistic studies). An estimated six-shot V50 for the clothing system was calculated as 102 m/s. The distance at which the projectile would have decelerated from the muzzle of the weapon to this velocity in free flight was triple the recognised effective range of weapons of the era suggesting that the clothing system would provide limited protection for the wearer. The estimated V50 was also compared with recorded bounce-and-roll data; this suggested that the clothing system could provide some protection to the wearer from ricochets. Finally, potential wounding behind the clothing system was investigated; the results compared favourably with seventeenth century medical writings. Keywords Leather . Linen . Wool .

  • A Brief History of Greek Helmets

    A Brief History of Greek Helmets

    Jesse Obert A Brief History of Greek Helmets Author: Jesse Obert Source: AncientPlanet Online Journal Vol. 2 (2012), 48 – 59 Published by: Ioannis Georgopoulos Available at: http://issuu.com/ancientplanet/docs/ancientplanet_vol.2 1 Jesse Obert A Brief History of Greek Helmets Warfare is a constantly changing aspect of human interaction. In Ancient Greece, an emphasis on camaraderie and communal reliance developed the concept of unit cohesion and specialization. Ultimately, Greece would become the birthplace of Western Military thought. The maturation of this mentality can be traced through the stylistic and technological progression of military helmets. Experimentations with helmet design illuminate the limitations and intricacies of warfare as it was developed in the ancient world. Though the development of any technology is nonlinear, studying the evolution of stylistic designs reveals how the unique style of combat in Greece changed war. The history of the Greek helmet began in the 17th century BCE, when the Mycenaean Empire controlled Greece. At the time, the Boar’s Tusk Helmet was popular throughout the region. This conically shaped helmet consisted of alternating levels of boars’ tusks in a style and design that may have originated in Western Europe (Snodgrass 19). The tusks were sewn into a felt or leather cap which served as the base of the helmet. In all reality, the boar’s tusks would have shattered after a single blow, but were an improvement over leather or even felt (Everson 10-11). Additionally, the laces holding the tusks in place would have been exposed and vulnerable, so leather strands were probably tied between the alternating tusks in order to protect the laces (Everson 7).

  • A Roman Frontier Post and Its People

    A Roman Frontier Post and Its People

    CHAPTER IX Dress and Armour As we gather together the relics brought to light from the abandoned wells and rubbish-pits at Newstead, the figure of the Roman soldier inevitably rises before us. It is a figure rendered familiar by the great monuments which commemorate Imperial triumphs, and by the portrait-reliefs which once stood above the graves of centurions, cavalry soldiers, or standard-bearers recalling to the passers-by the likeness of the dead. It is to such memorials, and to the scanty finds of weapons and armour which have been preserved to our time, that we owe most of the knowledge we possess regarding the arms and equipment of the army of the Empire. The columns and the triumphal arches furnish us with a series of pictures of the soldier in action. The victories of Trajan over the Dacians are sculptured on the column which he had set up in Rome in A.D. 104. The triumphs of Marcus Aurelius over the Marcomanni are unfolded in the reliefs decorating the huge pillar that gives its name to the Piazza Colonna. We follow each stage in the campaigns, the army making roads, building bridges, constructing forts, attacking and attacked. Many details are given which help us to realise vividly the scenes commemorated. No doubt in such sculptures, executed, as they were, in Rome, the artists drew their inspiration to some extent from older Hellenic models, and there thus enters into the treatment a somewhat conventional element. The grave stones of the legionaries or auxiliaries, on the other hand, are probably more exact in details.
  • Heraldic Terms

    Heraldic Terms

    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.
