They tell you it ain't no good A-wondering when you'll die, Or lying low as a soldier should When aeroplanes is by; For whether it comes in a sudden way Or lingering, long and late, You won't go under until the day That's settled before by Fate. Ah, well, and it may be true - But the lads I like to see Are the ones that do as they're told to do And stay where they ought to be ; For Fate may fixon a far-offdate And a death ofan easy kind, But it ain't no use encouraging Fate To change her feminine mind. So I keep my rifleclean, And I use my eyes and ears, And I don't go wandering offthe scene A looking forsooveneers; And maybe the bullet that bears my name Is meant fora distant day, But I don't get playing the idiot game When the other ones come my way. 1680. I've been out many a day, And seen too many a mate With a leg or an arm blown clean away By a thing he thought was Fate. But when six men get playing about With a rusty old bombgone bad, Then what is it knocks the six men out ? - Not Fate, but folly, my lad. And its better alive than dead You'll serve the old platoon, So try to do as the officer said, And not to die too soon. Though a man can't add to his earthly span, It's a thing worth trying to do, You take good care of yourself, young man, And Fate won't matter to you. Sub Lieutenant A.P. Herbert. * * * * * * * Published in 'The Bomber Gipsy' by Methuen & Co. Ltd, London, in 1919. I would like to thank A.P.

MEATYARD PLYMOUTH BATTALION, Ply 13034 ROYAL MARINE LIGHT INFANTRY. PART ONE. Transcribed by Bob Thompson from the original held at the Royal Marine Museum. When war was declared with Germany a Brigade ofRoyal Marines was quickly formed forLand Service, Chatham, Portsmouth, Plymouth and Deal Headquarters each supplying a Battalion and so forminga Brigade of4 Battalions. There were many pensioners amongst us, one platoon of the Plymouth Battalion was composed entirely ofSgts and C/Sgts, most ofthem being pensioners. I was detailed as Battalion Signal Sergeant. We formedand left barracks forPortsmouth under sealed orders, and got a greatsend off fromPlymouth. We were unable to march through the streets in fours, as they were so crowded, very much like the Sgt's Mess we had just left. I think nearly everyone except myself gave a song, and I was obliging on the piano. Afterbusy times at Portsmouth, pitching tents, training, organising, shiftinginto school rooms etc. we returned again under sealed orders and found ourselves in Plymouth within a fortnight fromwhen we had left. We felt a bit ashamed afterthe send offwe had had, when leaving previously. Ostend :- It was not long however beforewe were moving again, and we marched to the victualling yard this time, and embarked on four differentbattleships which took us across the Channel. We landed at Ostend, and took up outpost positions on the outskirts of the town, I think it was more or less to keep offraiding Uhlans who were terrorising the Belgians at this time, andcommi tting many atrocities; and also it answered the purpose ofgiving the Belgium people confidence when they saw us there. It was a good sample of the Corps that we had at that time, all long service men with a good deal of time to their credit, and also a number ofRoyal Marine Artillery, fine big fellows. Nothing much happened duringour time there. I kept a signal station on top of a large building adjoining Ostend Station. In the daytime we used Helio and Flag, and at night the Begbie lamp. We were in communication with another station on a very tall tower, and they in tum were in communication with the Outpost stations. Our station was on top ofBattalion Headquarters and many signals came through, chieflyvery briefreports such as "Communications are cut to Thourout". 1682. After seven days some Belgian volunteers arrived, and we re-embarked to England, much to the sorrow of the Belgian inhabitants as they had good faith in the fighting qualities of the Royals. At this time the Royal Marines had no transport of their own, and we had to get on the best way we could without it. We were complimented by the Admiralty on the way we disembarked and amiably re-embarked, including the handling of our stores. We arrived at Deal and marched to the local barracks. Dunkirk:- Aftera little training and re-organisation, we embarked again at Dover in transports, and this time we landed at Dunkirk, where we were billeted in the town for fourdays, and then moved under canvas on the outskirts of the town, the whole Brigade being here. Spies were oftensuspected , and no doubt there were plenty on the lookout for information. Cassell :- A quick move came one day, and we entrained and found ourselves at Cassell. Here we were billeted in empty houses, having straw to sleep on. Fortunately forus the people had packed up in a hurry and they had left several items in the eating line, including a large store of pears, and we enjoyed these. Also a piano was left, and with the aid of it we were able to break the monotony. It is well known that an Old Soldier will findanything there is to be found, and it was not surprising thereforethat our Old Soldiers found some wine which had been hidden away in some remote place in the building. Our meals were cooked out in the back garden. We stayed at Cassell 4 days and carried out several reconnaissances towards Lille, moving in two or three columns. My position was generally in frontwith the majority of the signal section, and we rode bicycles, which I founduncomfort able when carrying a full pack, especially when cycling uphill. About50 yards distance was kept betweeneach pair of cyclists, when acting as advanced scouts. The remainder of the column came on behind in London Omnibuses, (advertisements still on), which had been acquisitioned and brought over to France for transport purposes with their drivers, but not the conductors. Being in the leading position we came in forwelcoming by the inhabitants of the different villages, who tendered fruit tobacco etc on us, they were so enthusiastic to think that the British had entered the war on their side. At Cassell we had our respective places of assembly in case of attack. At 2 a.m. one morningwe received orders to get ready to move at once, aftera quick collection of stores we donned packs, and proceeded to Cassell station where we entrained, wondering where we were offto this time. Aftertravelling all day we arrived at a small village just outside Antwerp. As we passed Ghent some hospital nurses came along the platform, the train stopping there, and offeredus tobacco, cigarettes and beer. The Officers forbadethe issue of the latter, although the nurses assured them it was not at all strong. They apologised by stating that, had they known that we were coming through, they would have prepared more forus. However, as fast as one basket of tobacco was emptied, they went back and fetchedanother. 1683. Antwerp:- We eventually arrived at Oude Gued, a small village outside Antwerp about midnight, and the G.O.C. there gave a spirited paring speech, but the men were too tired to appreciate it, as they would have done under more ordinarycircumstances. All they wanted at that particular moment was foodand sleep. This time we put up in empty schools with straw, and the men went around the shops that were still open and procured eatables. No doubt the shopkeepers were glad to sell their stock beforethe Germans came and took it gratis, although the arrival of our forcegave them further hope that the German invasion would be stemmed. We had a short nap from about 1 a.m. till 4 a.m., when we marched to a position already held by the Belgians opposite the village of Lierre and in line with the outer Forts of Antwerp. An advanced post by No 3 Cpy, O.C. Major Bude, was formedin the village of Lierre to command the bridge over the river (or tributary of the Scheidt ) calledthe Nethe. During our march to this position we were besieged with handfuls of fruit, pears being in abundance. On arrival we found the position to consist of one shallow and wide trench (in a turnip fieldour Coy. No 4 was situated) with a sprinkling of pointed stakes in the ground andtrip wires out in front. To cover the front each man had about 4 yards of trench allotted to him, and justbehind the spot where I was situated was a farm where we deposited one of our renowned Old Soldiers, and he carried on the cooking in a very efficientmanner, as he had to findthe animal contents.

    “Come on Lads”

    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

UNIVERSITY OF MAINE WORLD WAR II IN MEMORIAM DEDICATION In this book are the records of those sons of Maine who gave their lives in World War II. The stories of their lives are brief, for all of them were young. And yet, behind the dates and the names of places there shines the record of courage and sacrifice, of love, and of a devotion to duty that transcends all thought of safety or of gain or of selfish ambition. These are the names of those we love: these are the stories of those who once walked with us and sang our songs and shared our common hope. These are the faces of our loved ones and good comrades, of sons and husbands. There is no tribute equal to their sacrifice; there is no word of praise worthy of their deeds.
