Black US Army bands and their bandmasters in World War I Peter M. Lefferts This essay sketches the story of the bands and bandmasters of the twenty seven new black army regiments which served in the U.S. Army in World War I. They underwent rapid mobilization and demobilization over 1917-1919, and were for the most part unconnected by personnel or traditions to the long-established bands of the four black regular U.S. Army regiments that preceded them and continued to serve after them. Pressed to find sufficient numbers of willing and able black band leaders, the army turned to schools and the entertainment industry for the necessary talent.

  • Rose, Raymond John Corporal Governor General's Foot Guards
    Rose, Raymond John Corporal Governor General's Foot Guards C58338 Raymond John Rose was born in Bridgend, Wales, UK on Oct. 24, 1919 to parents, John Rose (1880-1941) and Ada Robinson (1881-1961). The whole family including children, Dorothy Enid, age 15; Raymond, age 10 and Mervyn, eight, had immigrated to Canada in April, 1929, aboard the steamship, SS Montrose. Mr. Rose was sponsored by a George Hall of Renfrew as his gardener but the father later became a railroad employee. Raymond Rose acquired 11 years of public education before he went to work as a weaver at the Renfrew Woollen Mills for seven years. At enlistment on July 3, 1940 with the Governor General‘s Foot Guards Regiment (his service number was C58338), he stood five foot seven inches and weighed 136 pounds. Raymond obtained military training at Camp Borden in Ontario, Sussex Camp in New Brunswick, and Debert, Nova Scotia. Sadly, his father died of cerebral thrombosis on May 3, 1941 the year before Raymond shipped out to the United Kingdom on Sept. 24, 1942. He served in the U.K. as a tank driver for nearly two years until July 22, 1944 when he was sent to the Normandy beachhead. His younger brother, Mervyn “Bill” Rose also served overseas in the Canadian Army. Arriving on the beaches of Normandy on July 22, 1944, Guardsman Raymond Rose was a gun operator with the Governor General’s Foot Guards (GGFG) regiment. This tank regiment was part of the Canadian Armoured Brigade that fought for seven months through France, Belgium, the Netherlands and finally into Germany.

  • Lyon Playfair: Chemist and Commissioner, 1818–1858
    Science Museum Group Journal Lyon Playfair: chemist and commissioner, 1818–1858 Journal ISSN number: 2054-5770 This article was written by Ian Blatchford 05-04-2021 Cite as 10.15180; 211504 Research Lyon Playfair: chemist and commissioner, 1818–1858 Published in Spring 2021, Issue 15 Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/211504 Abstract Lyon Playfair was a multi-talented man: a scientist, administrator and politician whose life and influence deserve further research. This article concentrates on the period between 1818 and 1858, from Playfair’s birth to his appointment as Professor of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh. His biographer (Sir Thomas Wemyss Reid) described his life as a ‘story not of adventure, but work’ and yet his record was one of energetic enterprise that had considerable impact. He was a rising star in the then fashionable world of chemistry, a favoured student of the founder of organic chemistry, Justus Liebig, and a central figure in the promotion of new ideas in agricultural science.[1] A career in science and the state saw him connected to the leading figures of both, and he played a crucial role in the conceptual and financial success of the Great Exhibition, and its legacy. His brilliance has been overshadowed by the extrovert Henry Cole, and yet Playfair was essential to the major educational reforms of their time. Component DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/211504/001 Keywords Lyon Playfair, chemistry, politics, biography, University of Edinburgh, Justus Liebig, Great Exhibition Introduction [2] Playfair was a versatile man: scientist, administrator and politician. This article concentrates on the period between 1818 and 1858, from his birth to his appointment as Professor of Chemistry at Edinburgh.

    Assessorato Regionale, Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali Città di Acireale Lions Club Acireale e dell’Identità Siciliana Assessorato Regionale, Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali e dell’Identità Siciliana Città di Acireale Lions Club Acireale Collection of historical uniforms Ing. Aldo Scaccianoce Lions Club Acireale Anno Sociale 2012-2013 Presidente Rosario Musmeci Galatea Editrice - Acireale INTRODUCTION The collection of uniforms located in the Town Hall takes its name from the scholar Aldo Scaccianoce, who gathered each piece. The relics shown have a double significance: historical and artistic. Every piece has its own historical story to tell, as they have all been worn during events that have shaped European history over the course of the XIX century, while the nineteenth century has been pregnant with highly artistic cultural moments since the Napoleonic period. These relics, in fact, also give testimony of fashion, taste, make and aesthetic quality that make them real masterpieces of craftsmanship. The Assessorato ai Beni Culturali (Department of Cultural Heritage) of the Region of Sicily added the collection to its priceless patrimony in 1988, to avoid the dispersal of the important cultural collection. The exposition installation was done by the architect Giuseppe Anfuso. Within each single cabinet each relic preserves its historical, military and artistic relevance. PREFACE The work presented is born from the desire of the Lions Club Aci- reale to give service to the town of Acireale, favouring its tourism, and with it, its economy.
