AOSHS is continuously searching for documentation that would expand the knowledge base and increase the accuracy of the historical information in these books. 3 Summer 2020 Dear ASOHS Members and Friends, This book was originally the result of about ten years of research by Les Burch, a former ASOHS board member. The task he started was a monumental one and his research will always be greatly appreciated. The book continues to be a work in progress because new schools open and close each year and, thankfully, new information about our schools is discovered. The yearbooks that have been donated or lent to AOSHS have been a valuable source of material. I am currently enjoying this path of discovery and hope to share more of my research through the Q. You are encouraged to review the lists and provide any additional information to the ASOHS office or the current historian. I know there are many of you who can provide information about the opening or closing years for schools that we are missing. Please help us accurately complete this list. I will update this book each year with your help and further research. In addition to the list of overseas schools, a very incomplete list of current and past stateside schools (DDESS) is included. Also, there is a list of the current DoDEA schools with demographic information. Thank you to Frank O’Gara for providing this information. Rebecca E.

In March 2003, Lindis Percy entered the base in a nonviolent protest against the war, which she believed to be immoral and contrary to international law. When apprehended by US security officers, she was thrown to the ground and restrained using handcuffs and leg shackles while a woman US military police officer conducted a full body search in a degrading way. Lindis was then forced to lie face-down in a truck to be taken into detention while British police were called to make an arrest. She was known to those detaining her, in the words of one, as ‘a peaceful, nonviolent Quaker’ and had not resisted their intervention. Lindis was charged with Aggravated Trespass (Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994), which applies to a person who trespasses with intent to intimidate, obstruct or disrupt a lawful activity.2 She was refused bail, remanded in custody for one week at Holloway Prison and then granted bail with strict conditions.
