  • SASA Newsletter Winter 2018
    Issue No. 84 Winter 2018 From the Editor Mimi Gardner ‘52 Anne Lockwood Romasco, SAS 1951, loved China and all her connections with it, which were many. Her Happy New Year wishes would most certainly have referred to this as the Year of the Dog. Because she was so important in the creation of SASA and in the growing relationship with Shanghai American School as it is now, we dedicate much of this issue to Anne. She was my friend. We worked together in the last 10 years on everything SASA-related. We visited in each other’s homes – she taking the bus from New York to Boston; we doing the same in reverse and then the subway to Brooklyn and a few blocks on foot to the precious old brownstone on Hall St. It was so very Anne! Nothing fancy – just comfortable and inviting and breathing its interesting history, with book shelves wherever possible, newspapers on the coffee table, and Senta making something delicious for us to eat. She liked old things that had history, including her coffee grinder that is cranked by hand. She loved sailing with us on Goodnight Moon, our nothing-fancy 30-year-old day-sailer, a Cape Dory Typhoon, and sharing the sights of this old, old town of Marblehead. Our last precious time together was in China in September when Anne, in the great company of her son Calem, seemed totally herself, charging around to and enjoying all the events planned by SAS and relishing the times on our own in be- tween – great food, nice walks, good conversations – all good.

  • 9. Aivars Purins-Uncle Bill of the Forgotten Army-Leadership of Lord Slim
    Volume 10, 2008 Baltic Security & Defence Review “Uncle Bill” of “the Forgotten Army” or the Leadership of Field-Marshall Lord Slim By Aivars Purins * “If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;… If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same...” “If”, by R.Kipling Studying Field Marshall William Joseph Slim (August 8th, 1891 – December 14th, 1970) feels like rereading Rudyard Kipling’s “If”. This poem could almost be the best story of Slim’s life. Two of his superiors wanted to dismiss him but both times Slim was promoted to replace the two generals. He had to struggle to enlist in the officers corps, but he went on to take the post of Chief of General Staff of British Army. Biographer Ronald Lewin actually holds the belief that Slim was a marked man- “primus inter pares” (Lewin, 1976:47) - already in his early years of his life. It is claimed that Slim commanded the first (Anderson, 1992:304) British offensive of the Second World War, but it was not a battle of lingering significance. The Japanese attack into Burma would build the occasion that would call for Slim’s remarkable addition to the war effort. He was transferred to Burma theatre on March 14th, 1942 as the commander of Burma Corps (Burcorps). At that point British were on continuous withdrawal already since January.
