    THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE and Flanders Peace Field Project Don Mullan Concept “... a moment of humanity in a time of carnage... what must be the most extraordinary celebration of Christmas since those notable goings-on in Bethlehem.” - Piers Brendon, British Historian Contents Introduction 4 The Vision 8 Local Partners 9 The Projects: 9 1.

The Fans World Cup 13 Visitors, Tourists and Pilgrims 14 Investment Required and Local Body to Manage Development 15 The Flanders Peace Field 16 Voices from the Christmas Truce 18 Summary Biography of Presenter 20 THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE PROJECT Introduction The First World War - “The War to End All Wars” – lasted four years. It consumed the lives of an estimated 18 million people – thirteen thousand per day! Yet, there was one day, Christmas Day 1914, when the madness stopped and a brief peace, inspired by the Christmas story, broke out along the Western Front. The Island of Ireland Peace Park, Messines, Belgium, stands on a gentle slope overlooking the site of one of the most extraordinary events of World War I and, indeed, world history. German soldiers had been sent thousands of small Christmas trees and candles from back home. As night enveloped an unusually still and silent Christmas Eve, a soldier placed one of the candlelit trees upon the parapet of his trench. Others followed and before long a chain of flickering lights spread for miles along the German line. British and French soldiers observed in amazement.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Silent Night Holy Night The Story of the Christmas Truce by Stephen Wunderli Silent Night Holy Night: The Story of the Christmas Truce by Stephen Wunderli. The History of Christmas Epilogue: Time Was, Is Now. My twelve day look at the History of Christmas is over. Obviously, there are many other significant entries I could have made and you might be wondering why I chose what I did and left out other seemingly more important features of this wondrous holiday. I included what is here because these articles contain a connecting thread that I feel is significant in the celebration of the Christmas season. That thread is the awe and wonder and even the spiritual fulfillment that the human race has experienced over the years from the dawn of mankind up to and including our own time. I chose to express my history in the form of conversations and letters. I’ve always felt a more personal approach to history allows it to be embraced, appreciated, and more easily understood by the majority of people. Call it my ‘style,’ if you will. Hopefully, it didn’t detract from your enjoyment. Some may wonder why I did not include the nativity, or as it is called. the Christmas Story. Although it has produced an awe and wonder of its own, it has done so at the expense of the true history of the holidays. While I have nothing against the Christian expression of Christmas as the birth of the Christ child, you have to agree that much of the story has simply been tacked on to a season of joy that predated Christ’s birth by thousands of years.

Thank you for expressing an interest in the YHA Exchange Programme in this brochure you can read everything you need to know about HI Connect and the Exchange Programme. If you have any questions you can call Lynsey on 01629 592728 or email [email protected] Kind Regards, The Exchange Team 3 | YHA Exchange project YHA History A German schoolteacher first thought about Youth Hostels more than a hundred years ago. He understood the difference a night in a new place, meeting new people and sharing new experiences in fresh surroundings, could make, particularly for young people. During the Second World War the number of YHA members doubled. By the 80s, the needs of the modern-day traveller were changing. Young people were starting to travel widely. They wanted smaller rooms, better toilets and showers – the comforts and convenience of the modern world. Increasingly they began to book on the internet. Considerable change took place within YHA around this time with the establishment of a national framework and a professional management structure. Today there are Youth Hostels, in towns and cities, in the countryside. There are Youth Hostels in cottages, castles, mansions and in modern buildings. There are Youth Hostels right around the world. We have hostels throughout England and Wales, often in exceptional locations. These welcoming and sociable places are open to everyone. 4 | YHA Exchange project We give people the chance to explore, to travel the world, to expand their horizons, to have fun and meet other people and to know that what they are paying doesn’t go to shareholders, doesn’t pay any kind of profit to someone else.

  • From the Popular Front to the Eastern Front: Youth Movements, Travel, and Fascism in France (1930-1945)
    FROM THE POPULAR FRONT TO THE EASTERN FRONT: YOUTH MOVEMENTS, TRAVEL, AND FASCISM IN FRANCE (1930-1945) by Bertrand Metton A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Ronald Suny, Chair Professor Joshua H. Cole Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Krisztina E. Fehervary © Bertrand Metton 2015 A ma mère, qui m’a toujours soutenu A mon père, qui m’a donné le goût de l’histoire ii Acknowledgements I am indebted to many in the completion of this dissertation, and in particular to the members of my dissertation committee and the academic community at the University of Michigan and beyond. From my first year in the Ph.D program, Ronald Suny provided me with constant support, guidance and intellectually challenging thoughts delivered with his inimitable wit. Through numerous and long conversations, Geoff Eley, armed with his encyclopedic knowledge of European history and expertise on the question of fascism, pushed me to develop an original intellectual framework which forms the backbone of this dissertation. The influence of Krisztina Fehervary’s teachings, particularly in the anthropology of the body and consumption, can be seen throughout the text and have played a crucial role in the theoretical articulation of this work. Finally Joshua Cole’s feedback and expertise on French history and the Popular Front has been invaluable and has helped me develop a more coherent narrative and general argument. Among other Michigan faculty whose mentorship played a decisive role in my intellectual upbringing I feel particularly indebted to David William Cohen whose infinite kindness and intellectual brilliance have guided me during my first years in the United States.

  • A Unique Legacy
    Autumn 2018 Volume 43, No 3 Alan Lucas PAYING TRIBUTE Michael Collins A YEAR IN THE LIFE PHIL WOODS A unique legacy EDITOR’S LETTER Editor’s 28 World Sax Congress, Zagreb, Croatia LETTER Welcome to the autumn issue of Clarinet & Saxophone. I would like to begin by paying tribute to Alan Lucas, the co-founder of CASSGB, who has died at the age of 98. Alan was a tireless advocate for the clarinet and also largely responsible for the shift among many UK professional players from Boosey & Hawkes instruments to Buffet. Turn to page 10 for a full tribute to him, including a detailed account of this fascinating period of clarinet history. This issue’s cover artist, Phil Woods, left a vast legacy of high-quality recordings on both instruments, though he was of course best known as a saxophonist. His career highlights are summarised by Kenneth Morris on page 14. I would like to thank Ken, who has been writing for Clarinet & Saxophone for 10 years now, for his colourful and expert writings on all things jazz and single reed. Talking of anniversaries, it is 20 years since the first synthetic reeds were produced by the Canadian company Légère. Whether or not you are a fan of the plastic, the company’s story is a fascinating one (page 42). Cover: Phil Woods, 1978 It feels like a rich time to be writing about (or indeed playing or listening Photograph: Courtesy of Tom Marcello to) the saxophone. This year’s prestigious Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) competition was won by a classical saxophonist – and as Michael Pearce points out, the competition has a strong track record of showcasing the sax, with Editor and advertising manager: many past winners and finalists performing on this instrument.
