  • Reading Blue Coat School
    BLHA Newsletter Chairman's Corner This will be the first Newsletter edited by John Chapman. I know he has many good ideas for its future, and would like to wish him well. As a well-known military historian, his servi- ces must be in great demand at present, so taking on this task cannot have been easy. Members of the committee are particularly keen to let the member societies know what the Association is doing, and what it can do for them. We want the Newsletter to be read as widely as possible by members of member societies. And we would like to hear what the societies are doing. There are around 40 of them, but we only hear regularly from about a dozen in the Newsletter. A recent change in the committee has been brought about by Elias Kupfermann volunteering his services. He is well-known in Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough as a local historian, and I would like to welcome him. There are a number of jobs which need to be done, and I hope he soon finds his niche, and can be formally elected at the next A.G.M. Incidentally, I notice that the Constitution of the Association says that the officers and committee members should “normally” retire after five years. To my surprise, I find that I was first elected in 2009, so I’ve already done my five years! And as for most of the rest of the committee . It needs thinking about. I was pleased to be invited to present the Berkshire History Prize this year: please see the short report and photograph later in this issue.

At the '"time, in common with most members of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, we were both only vaguely aware of the existence of that body. In response, I started to research material in order to write a short article about them. It became apparent very rapidly that there was no central body of information about the <then) Special Constabulary and, perhaps worse for a writer, that at least some of the details were covered by the Official Secrets Act. The Kinistry of Defence appeared unable to acknowledge, let alone answer, any letters of enqUiry. The length of time being taken to compile information was rapidly becoming uneconomic in terms of any possible return from writing a short report. (Which is probably why there were no such articles from which to draw in the first place.) However, I had sent out several other 'feelers', and accounts of the XDP's presence and activities were trickling in.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Frank Percy Caudery Private 31218, 3Rd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Private 45649, 8 Th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment
    ! Frank Percy Caudery Private 31218, 3rd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Private 45649, 8 th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment Frank Percy Caudery was born at Wendover on 8 May 1892, the sixth and youngest child of Frederick Caudery, a butcher, and his wife Mary (née Minnie). In the Census Returns of 1901 and 1911, the family was living at Chesham Villas, Amersham. In 1911, Frank was described as a helmet maker, perhaps at the Misbourne Works of William Stone, which had a contract with the War Office for this manufacture in 1915. Frank married Amersham girl Ethel Stokes in 1912 when they were both aged 20. The following year, a daughter Gladys was born. Frank enlisted at Amersham with the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry but was then transferred to the Royal Berkshires, 8 th Battalion, (date unknown). The Royal Berkshire Regiment were generally known as ‘The Biscuit Boys ’ because the regimental depot, Brock Barracks was located at Reading, not far from the well known biscuit factory, Huntley and Palmers, who were biscuit suppliers to the British Army for many years. The 8th Battalion of the Royal Berkshire Regiment was a unit of one of Kitchener's New Armies created early in the war. It was in Chesham Villas, White Lion Road, Amersham Kitchener's 5th New Army, known, like the (Photo – H Garas 7 Aug 2014) others, by an abbreviation, in this case K5 "! which came into being on 10 December 1914. For most of their time in England they were linked to the 7th Battalion. They moved to huts at Sutton Veney near Warminster on 7 May 1915 after having spent most of the winter billeted in Reading.
