World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District
WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given. -

Guide to Sources for Women's History
GUIDE TO SOURCES FOR WOMEN’S HISTORY Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure © PRONI 1993 Cover illustration: Elizabeth St Leger (c.1700-1773), daughter of Arthur, 1st viscount Doneraile, Grand Master of the Freemasons of Ireland, 1740-41, and wife of Richard Aldworth of Newmarket, Co. Cork. The only female Freemason, she first appears in a published list of Irish Freemasons in 1744, having been admitted following an episode at her father’s house, Doneraile Court, Co. Cork, where she accidentally overheard, or deliberately eavesdropped on a lodge meeting. Of the alternatives of swearing her in, or doing her in, the lodge members chose the more merciful.

Miscellaneous 122 INTRODUCTION Women’s history is a relatively recent development in the Irish context and has been treated as something of a ‘separatist’ area. As Dr David Fitzpatrick asserted in a recent review ‘It is scarcely surprising that the pioneers of Irish women’s history have concentrated on women acting together in contexts where men appear as either adversaries or outsiders. The experience of the nun, the prostitute, the servant, the suffragist or the IWWU member, was moulded by attachments to social groups or organisations particular to women. -
Table 2 Historical Demises Since My Last Report in 2019. in the Following Table I Have Summarised the Demises Records for 1648 Former Students of the RHS
Table 2 Historical demises since my last report in 2019. In the following table I have summarised the demises records for 1648 former students of the RHS. Almost all of these follow my research using Family History sites and other sources to determine whether a former student on the InTouch database is still alive or dead. I have always felt it is important to recognise and remember the passing of those former students even if it was many years ago. These records will be entered on to the database and so complete and “close the file”. These past twelve months I have primarily concentrated on the late-1920s to the mid-1930s. In the next year I will continue investigating former old boys from the years 1936 - 1946 (and beyond if time permits). A full record of all known demised former men and women who attended the RHS will be placed in the Digital Archive and updated each year. At the time of writing we now have death records for 3177.

Candidates Scotland
Page | 1 LIBERAL/LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES IN SCOTLAND 1945-2015 INCLUDING SDP CANDIDATES in the GENERAL ELECTIONS of 1983 and 1987 PREFACE The compilation of this Index has presented no special difficulty compared with some Regions. Few candidates listed have contested parliamentary elections outside Scotland, of whom only one individual stood in more than one region. This has made the process of cross-checking straightforward. Changes of names of constituencies over the years have caused some confusion. A helpful factor has been that many candidates, including long standing MPs, have presented themselves for election on multiple occasions. Scotland has been traditionally one of the party’s strongest regions though there was a bleak period, 1945-50, when there were no Scottish Liberal MPs. There were two for the brief interval 1950-51 but from 1951-64, Jo Grimond remained the sole Scottish Liberal MP at Westminster. The position improved considerably in 1964 and until the catastrophe of May 2015 there was always a strong Scottish contingent on the Liberal benches at Westminster, including a succession of four party leaders. Liberal/Liberal Democrat strength in Scotland has always centred upon the Highlands, Islands and rural areas. It was only in the last two decades before 2015 that seats were won in urban areas. Many constituencies in Glasgow and the Lowlands were left uncontested, in some instances from the 1920s. They remained neglected until the mid-1970s when candidates were at last selected for these ‘derelict’ constituencies. Recognition is made in some entries to ‘pioneer’ candidates who were the first to contest such constituencies. -
Was Born in Buffalo, NY, and Moved to Boston in 1868, Where He Worked
1 Abrahams, Henry (1855-1923), was born in Buffalo, N.Y., and moved to Boston in 1868, where he worked for a dry-goods merchant. At eighteen he became a cigarmaker, and in 1879 he served as secretary of Cigar Makers' International Union of America 70 of Cambridgeport, Mass. He later served as secretary of Cigar Makers' local 97 of Boston (1885, 1892-1923). In 1878 he helped found the Boston Workingmen's Central Union (later renamed the Boston Central Trades and Labor Union), and he served as its secretary from 1901 until his death. He served as a delegate from District Assembly 30 to the KOL General Assembly in 1886 and was president of the Massachusetts State Branch of the AFL from 1889 to 1890. Adams, Emmet L. (1870?-1933), a member of International Association of Machinists 174 of Washington, D.C., served as a salaried AFL organizer from 1921 through at least 1924. Addams, Jane (1860-1935), the founder of Hull-House in Chicago in 1889, was an advocate of a wide variety of social and labor reforms. She was a founder of the National Child Labor Committee (1904) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (1909), president of the National Conference of Charities and Correction (1909), vice-president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (1911-14), and president of the National Federation of Settlements (1911-35). Devoted to the cause of peace, she helped organize and was elected chair of the Woman's Peace party in January 1915 and in April of that year was made president of the International Congress of Women at The Hague. -

Mps Appointed to the Chiltern Hundreds Or Manor of Northstead Stewardships from 1880 Date Appointed* Member Office Party Constituency
BRIEFING PAPER Number 04731, 29 March 2021 MPs appointed to the Chiltern Hundreds or Manor of Compiled by Northstead stewardships since Sarah Priddy 1895 Why can’t a Member of Parliament resign? Under a Resolution of the House of 2 March 1623, Members of Parliament cannot directly resign their seats. Death, disqualification, elevation to Peerage, dissolution or expulsion are the only causes by which a Member’s seat can be vacated. Therefore, an MP wishing to resign has to be appointed to a paid office of the Crown which automatically disqualifies the Member from holding a seat in the House of Commons. There are currently two nominal offices of profit under the Crown: • Crown Steward and Bailiff of the three Chiltern Hundreds of Stoke, Desborough and Burnham; • Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. MPs can be appointed to these offices during a parliamentary recess, but the Speaker cannot issue a writ for the ensuing by-election until the House is sitting. Sometimes a vacancy towards the end of a Parliament may not filled until the General Election. Further reading See Erskine May: Chiltern Hundreds and Manor of Northstead for statutory basis and footnotes giving precedents. Further information on its historical context can be found in the Commons Library briefing: Resignation from the House of Commons. www.parliament.uk/commons-library | intranet.parliament.uk/commons-library | [email protected] | @commonslibrary MPs appointed to the Chiltern Hundreds or Manor of Northstead stewardships from 1880 Date appointed* Member
