Canford School Roll of Honour CANFORD SCHOOL ROLL OF HONOUR INTRODUCTION To Paul, accidentally killed on training, May 1942. The hard- mouthed one had said: There is nothing to be sorry for, he died at once And without pain. And without pain? Would I have feared pain for you, You, so large of heart, so gently strong? But to leave life quickly in summer - One morning quite suddenly while birds sang And before the bluebells in the woods Had flooded the banks of their blue lakes - To go without leave- taking From a May morning before the mist had left the turf; I had sorrow in your death, not for the pain, For you could bear all pain who walked alway Hand in hand with life as with a long- tried friend, But this brief summons from wet grass and trees In early days before the fields were high in green, Before the birds had sung the summer in - This unwonted haste away from us, From laughter and from happiness and, aye, from pain, For this I sorrowed, and for this within my heart I wept while working in the year's first smile. So wrote Captain Richard Spender of his friend Eric Paul Nelson, Old Canfordian, who was killed in an accident with a Mortar whilst serving as an instructor at a Battle School. And these words can serve to commemorate all the O.Cs who died on active service during the Second World War. They were all young: Captain Benjamin Pulvertaft, Royal Tank Regiment was the first O.C. to pass out of Sandhurst and he was killed in East Africa in 1941 , aged only 33 . Many were even younger - David Barnwell, the second of two brothers, both of whom were killed flying with the R.A.F., was only 19. Canford had been open for just 16 years at the beginning of the war and fewer than 1 ,500 pupils had passed through the school at that time. Nearly a thousand served and 140 were killed - almost 10% of the total past population. For the R.A.F. the figures are even more daunting: 192 O.Cs served in the Air Force during the wa r of whom 50 were killed. What follows is a list of those who died, giving their ranks and the units in which they served and, where possible, a few details of their war service and the place and date of death. I hope and intend later to record many more details of their services but I trust that this current pamphlet will be a suitable accompaniment to the dedication of the new War Memorial. I apologise for any errors that may appear in these accounts and will be most grateful for any corrections or further information. Henry Baynham October 1994. - 1 - THE ROYAL NAVY Gerald A. Alderson <SH 28) Lieutenant (A), R.N.V.R. Commissioned as a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm , he served for a time in 753 Squadron at Arbroath.

A neo-Assyrian relief in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities, Trinity College Dublin*a case study in artefact acquisition AMANDA KELLY* Classics Department, National University of Ireland, Galway [Accepted 7 September 2010. Published 14 October 2011.] Abstract The focus of this paper is a neo-Assyrian relief discovered in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities at Trinity College Dublin (hereafter the Weingreen Museum). The shallow relief depicts a pictorial vignette of a kneeling genie, rendered in profile, facing a tree of life, on a horizon formed by a cuneiform border (WM 1189). Details surrounding the relief’s acquisition were completely unknown to Trinity College Dublin staff during 2008Á9. This investigation follows a paper trail which illuminates the circumstances behind its procurement and subsequent journey from Iraq to Dublin in the Victorian period.

Sparrow Page 1 of 156 ON 0UR DOORSTEP FOREWORD This is a sequel to the book “IF YOU SHED A TEAR” which dealt exclusively with the casualties in World War 1 from a dozen coastal villages on the orth Essex coast between the Colne and Blackwater. The villages involved are~: Abberton, Langenhoe, Fingringhoe, Rowhedge, Peldon: Little and Great Wigborough: Salcott: Tollesbury: Tolleshunt D’Arcy: Tolleshunt Knights and Tolleshunt Major This likewise is a community effort by the families, friends and neighbours of the Fallen so that they may be remembered. In this volume we cover men from the same villages in World War 2, who took up the challenge of this new threat .World War 2 was much closer to home. The German airfields were only 60 miles away and the villages were on the direct flight path to London. As a result our losses include a number of men, who did not serve in uniform but were at sea with the fishing fleet, or the Merchant avy. These men were lost with the vessels operating in what was known as “Bomb Alley” which also took a toll on the Royal avy’s patrol craft, who shepherded convoys up the east coast with its threats from: - mines, dive bombers, e- boats and destroyers. The book is broken into 4 sections dealing with: - The war at sea: the land warfare: the war in the air & on the Home Front THEY WILL OLY DIE IF THEY ARE FORGOTTE.

  • The SA Air Force: Mandate, Activities, Main Equipment and Key Personalities
    Chapter 10 The SA Air Force: mandate, activities, main equipment and key personalities The SA Air Force (SAAF) is the second-oldest air force in the world. It was founded in 1920 by Sir Pierre van Ryneveld, a pioneer of aviation in South Africa. The world’s oldest air force, the Royal Air Force, was established two years previously, partly at the instigation of General Jan Smuts, then a member of the British War Cabinet.
