1 Croydon Philatelic Society Notes of the Meeting Held
CROYDON PHILATELIC SOCIETY NOTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 24TH APRIL 2018 President Richard West opened the meeting at 19.45 hours and welcomed the 14 members present. He welcomed Brian Asquith and asked him to give his presentation on Triest/Trieste. Trieste is situated at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea and has a Venetian name meaning “trade”, “market”. It was the main commercial Mediterranean port for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and “Triest” is the Austrian/German spelling. At the end of World War 1 it became a Mediterranean port for Italy and “Trieste” is the Italian spelling. The first entire shown was from Trieste to Venice in 1505. Manuscript markings were used until 1782 when the first postmark, a Gothic “Von Triest” hand-stamp came into use and was used until 1786. During the Napoleonic Wars Triest was occupied by the French briefly in1797, then again in 1805 – 1806 and a 1805 letter was shown from a soldier in Napoleon's army writing to his mother asking for money to buy shoes and shirts. Finally the French were there for a longer period from 1809 – 1814 when the coastal region of Istria and Dalmatia, including Trieste (the French spelling) was incorporated into Napoleon's Empire as “Illyrie”. Three different “Trieste/ Illyrie” postmarks were in use at this time and this entire from Spalato to Capodystria via Trieste is the scarcest of the three. 1 DEB./TRIESTE/ILLYRIE “DEB” = Déboursé This scarce mark was to warn that postage was accounted for to Trieste and that postage for forwarding from there to the destination was due. -

Introduction: Intertidal Zone and Tides
Introduction: Intertidal zone and tides People have been populating and using the coast and intertidal zone as a resource since prehistoric times. As a consequence, there are many different kinds of archaeological features to explore in the intertidal and coastal zone. Unlike terrestrial sites, the archaeology in the intertidal zone is not made up of layers; features from prehistory and the modern day can be found on the same horizon, adjacent to each other but separated by thousands of years in date. In addition, the anaerobic conditions created in the intertidal zone mean that finds and features which usually don’t survive, frequently do survive, such as Bronze Age sewn-plank boats and wooden trackways. This booklet of information and activity ideas has been created by Megan Clement from the Heritage Lottery Funded Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network (www.citizan.org.uk ) to support the 2017 Young Archaeologists’ Club Leaders’ Weekend. It provides inspiration to help you explore the rich archaeology of the coastal and intertidal zone with groups of young people. Intertidal zone The intertidal zone is the part of the foreshore which gets covered by the sea at high tide and is uncovered at low tide. The area which makes up the intertidal zone can vary dramatically in size. The height of the tide varies too. The Severn Estuary for instance has the largest tidal range in the UK (and the second largest in the world) at 14m. The tidal range is the name given to the difference in the height of the water between low tide and high tide. -

Wisse Kelly Scott Johnson Sholem Schwarzbard: Biography of a Jewish Assassin Abstract The thesis represents the first complete academic biography of a Jewish clockmaker, warrior poet and Anarchist named Sholem Schwarzbard. Schwarzbard's experience was both typical and unique for a Jewish man of his era. It included four immigrations, two revolutions, numerous pogroms, a world war and, far less commonly, an assassination. The latter gained him fleeting international fame in 1926, when he killed the Ukrainian nationalist leader Symon Petliura in Paris in retribution for pogroms perpetrated during the Russian Civil War (1917-20). After a contentious trial, a French jury was sufficiently convinced both of Schwarzbard's sincerity as an avenger, and of Petliura's responsibility for the actions of his armies, to acquit him on all counts. Mostly forgotten by the rest of the world, the assassin has remained a divisive figure in Jewish-Ukrainian relations, leading to distorted and reductive descriptions his life. -

Adams Committee Members, Adam Seipp James Hannah Head of Department, David Vaught December 2011 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT “Trafalgar Refought”: The Professional and Cultural Memory of Horatio Nelson During Britain’s Navalist Era, 1880-1914. (December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War. -

Constructing and Rethinking Montenegrin National Identity
Nar. umjet. 43/1, 2006, pp. 59-74, N. Čagorović and C. Carmichael, Constructing and… Review Received: 15th Jan. 2006 Accepted: 14th March 2006 UDK 39:94(=1.497.16) NEBOJŠA ČAGOROVIĆ Deputy Ambassador, Embassy of Serbia-Montenegro, Washington D.C. CATHIE CARMICHAEL School of History, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK CONSTRUCTING AND RETHINKING MONTENEGRIN NATIONAL IDENTITY This article looks at the discourse about Montenegrin "personality and culture" (Dinko Tomašić) in the period between the early nineteenth century and the loss of an independent state in 1918. After years of war which has divided Montenegrins from some of their neighbours, the authors suggest that the new Montenegro might benefit from "re- discovering" a more pluralist identity, especially given the number of minorities in the republic, including Muslims. Keywords: Montenegro, romanticism, ethnicity, masculinity In her important book Imagining the Balkans, the Bulgarian historian Maria Todorova observed that in nineteenth century descriptions "the standard Balkan male is uncivilized, primitive, crude, cruel and without exception dishevelled" (Todorova 1997:14).1 However descriptions of Montenegrin men are almost rather different. In the ethnographic writings from the period between the Napoleonic Wars and the formation of the first Yugoslavian state, descriptions of Montenegrins by visitors were often highly "positive" and perpetuated an idea of the men of Montenegro as heroic and independent. In the first decade of the twentieth century, readers of National Geographic -
