DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

  • The Colours Part 1: the Regular Battalions
    The Colours Part 1: The Regular Battalions By Lieutenant General J. P. Riley CB DSO PhD MA FRHistS 1. The Earliest Days At the time of the raising of Lord Herbert’s Regiment in March 1689,i it was usual for a regiment of foot to hold ten Colours. This number corre- sponded to the number of companies in the regiment and to the officers who commanded these companies although the initial establishment of Herbert’s Regiment was only eight companies. We have no record of the issue of any Colours to Herbert’s Regiment – and probably the Colo- nel paid for their manufacture himself as he did for much of the dress and equipment of his regiment. What we do know however is that each Colour was the rallying point for the company in battle and the symbol of its esprit. Colours were large – generally six feet square although no regulation on size yet existed – so that they could easily be seen in the smoke of a 17th Century battlefield for we must remember that before the days of smokeless powder, obscuration was a major factor in battle. So too was the ability of a company to keep its cohesion, deliver effec- tive fire and change formation rapidly either to attack, defend, or repel cavalry. A company was made up of anywhere between sixty and 100 men, with three officers and a varying number of sergeants, corporals and drummers depending on the actual strength. About one-third of the men by this time were armed with the pike, two-thirds with the match- lock musket.

  • Fops Under Fire: British Drum-Majors in Action During the Napoleonic Wars
    The Napoleon Series Fops under Fire: British Drum-Majors in Action during the Napoleonic Wars By Eamonn O’Keeffe In the performance theatre of the early nineteenth-century British military spectacle, drum- majors took centre stage. Sporting cocked hats and silver-tipped canes, these princes of pomp and circumstance uncased and lodged the regimental colours for parade and marched at the head of the battalion during reviews and inspections. “It should never be objected”, wrote Captain Bennet Cuthbertson, that a drum-major was “too great a coxcomb”, using a contemporary synonym for a dandy. On the contrary, a drum-major’s dress should promote vanity and self-importance, for it was “absolutely necessary for him to strut, and think himself a man of consequence” when leading his drummers on parade.1 A drum-major’s appearance was a source of regimental pride. According to a 1782 satirical work, this foppish figure was “the Paris, if not the Adonis” of a battalion, for “every judge of discipline will estimate the goodness of the corps by the taste and splendor of [his] trappings.”2 Unsurprisingly, the prestige associated with well-dressed drum-majors encouraged lavish expenditure; in 1813 the 1st Devon Militia paid the eye-watering sum of seventeen pounds, six shillings and eight pence for their “drum-major’s suit”, ceremonial baldric and “fine silver-laced hat” – more than six times the cost of an ordinary drummer’s cap and coat.3 This bill excluded the price of the drum-major’s finely engraved silver-mounted staff or cane, often almost as tall or taller than its wielder.4 Yet such showy extravagance sometimes caused confusion.

  • Museum's 50Th Year at Alnwick Castle St George's Day 2020 Friends Of
    St George’s Friends of The Day 2020 St George’s Day Greetings from the Fusiliers Museum of Northumberland Museum’s 50th Year at Alnwick Castle Marching Orders: From Fenham Barracks to Alnwick Castle 50 years ago It's ironic to be celebrating the Museum's 50th Anniversary at Alnwick Castle while the Museum, in common with all museums, is closed for an uncertain period. But sixty years ago it looked as if the Museum might close for good. Lt Colonel Reggie Pratt, who was Honorary Curator of the Museum for twenty-five years, from 1960 to 1985, tells the story in a briefing document he wrote when he retired. He explains that the Museum was established in the Regimental Depot at Fenham Barracks, in 1929. But by 1960 it had become clear the Museum would have to leave the Barracks. 'All attempts to find a permanent home in Newcastle having failed, the Duke of Northumberland was approached and kindly made the Abbot’s Tower available at Alnwick Castle.' The Army Museums Ogilby Trust employed a professional to design and install the displays, and the Museum opened at the Castle in 1970. Behind the walls of a Regimental Depot is not an easy location for visitor access. However Colonel Pratt writes that Alnwick Castle is 'a major attraction for visitors'; at the Museum 'Some 5,000 visitors are expected during the year'. He would be astounded to know that in 2019 the Museum had 91,214 visitors, in normal times a typical year. But he has a warning: 'There is a danger that MOD funding might be withdrawn at some time in the future'; it was, finally, over thirty years later, in 2017.

Bill Cheall's Story INTRODUCTION With the 50th Anniversary of D-Day in 1994, the Second World War will be on a lot of peoples' minds, particularly those who were a part of it. This is the true story of an ordinary soldier in the Green Howards during the Second World War. The story includes, amongst others, my experiences at Dunkirk, D-Day, a voyage on the Queen Mary and being wounded in action. It should be remembered that many of the events described in these pages have been taken from notes written soon after the events took place. The remainder has been compiled from my memoirs which I set down more than forty years ago while they were still fresh in my mind, and, more recently, I was given the inspiration to write everything down in book form so that other ex-servicemen may share some of the memories I have of that period in our lives.
