Leasor married barrister Joan Bevan on 1 December and they had three sons. He lived for his last 40 years at Swallowcliffe Manor, near Salisbury in Wiltshire. He died in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on 10 September , aged 83, and is buried in the churchyard of St. Peter's Church in Swallowcliffe. This wiki. This wiki All wikis. Sign In Don't have an account? The flim is a delilghtful romp and is a joy to see and the book was most enjoyable tor read. Quality for both. How odd to read a war book that is fun. The Boarding Party concerns a group of British men in their 30s on up who take on a mission the navy could not because of Portuguese neutrality destroying a German ship that had been giving information to U-boats from a port in Portuguese territory on the coast of India. James Leasor interviewed many who took part in the one night of action. The material might have been handled better, but the asides are interesting and any story about amateurs succeeding against the enemy is fascinating. A great, fast-paced story with lots of details that reads more like a novel. It is unbelievable to think that this operation was carried out by a group of over-age men and there are lots of comic relief in the book about some of their shenanigans. Boarding Party tells the story of a secret British mission during WWII to disable an illegal German transmitter illegal because the ship the transmitter was aboard was interned in a neutral country that was sending U-boats exact information about shipping in the Indian Ocean during The story was good enough that a Hollywood movie was made of the story in , entitled The Sea Wolves. How destructive was this transmitter? In the 11 days before the attack, German U-boats sank 12 Allied ships in the Indian Ocean, whereas in the rest of the month, they sank only one. What makes the story especially compelling is that regular soldiers or sailors could not carry out the attack-if they had been captured, the German would have pushed the Portuguese to throw the British out of their harbors and airfields, places essential to the conduct of the war for the allies. Instead, the British relied upon a bunch on business men, bankers, lawyers, accountants, and the like to do the deed, because if they were caught, they could say they did it on their own, without official instructions or knowledge. I won't give away the rest of the story, about how a party played a crucial role in the attack, and how the prostitutes of the harbor town where the attack took place did their part to win the battle. An excellent story, well written, and moves at a good pace for a true story. It's learned that a Nazi spy ring is passing shipping information to U-Boats in the Indian ocean. The information is being transmitted from a radio located on a German merchant vessel docked in refuge in Goa, a neutral Portuguese colony on the east coast in India. Shipping losses are mounting and something must be done. The Sea Wolves - WikiMili, The Best Wikipedia Reader The Germans had a secret transmitter on one of their ships in the neutral harbour of Goa. Its purpose was to guide the U-boats against Allied shipping in the Indian Ocean. But the transmitter had to be silenced. SOE was tasked with dealing with the problem, but how? Then it was remembered that 1, miles away in Calcutta was a source of possible help. A group of civilian bankers, merchants and solicitors were the remains of an old territorial unit called The Calcutta Light Horse. With a foreword by Earl Mountbatten of Burma.

Seller Inventory DS About this Item: James Leasor Limited , A Special Interrogation Group party, fluent in German, took part in missions behind enemy lines. Diversionary actions extended to Benghazi, Jalo oasis and Barce. The Tobruk raid was an Allied disaster; the British lost several hundred men killed and captured, one cruiser, two destroyers, six motor torpedo boats and dozens of small amphibious craft. The Shetland Bus was the nickname of a clandestine special operations group that made a permanent link between Mainland Shetland in Scotland and German occupied Norway from until the surrender of Nazi Germany on 8 May The unit was operated initially by a large number of small fishing boats and later augmented by three fast and well-armed submarine chasers — Vigra , Hessa and Hitra. The screenplay concerns a group of mercenaries in Africa. It was the result of a long-held ambition of its producer Euan Lloyd to make an all-star adventure film similar to The Guns of Navarone or Where Eagles Dare. The same producer and director were later responsible for The Sea Wolves. The regiment was disbanded following India's independence in Mormugao is a seaport situated in the eponymous taluka of the district of South Goa, Goa state, India. It has a deep natural harbour and is Goa's chief port. The Calcutta Scottish was a regiment of volunteers of Scottish descent raised in as an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army. The regimental dress uniform was Hunting Stewart tartan. The Second Ostend Raid was the later of two failed attempts made during the spring of by the United Kingdom's Royal Navy to block the channels leading to the Belgian port of Ostend as a part of its conflict with the German Empire during World War I. Due to the significant strategic advantages conferred by the Belgian ports, the Imperial German Navy had used Ostend as a base for their U-boat activities during the Battle of the Atlantic since Their objective was to board the Italian and German ships in the harbour and sail them to Lagos. It involved a covert attack by members of the Calcutta Light Horse and the Calcutta Scottish against a Nazi German merchant ship, the Ehrenfels, which had been transmitting information to U-boats from Mormugao Harbour in neutral Portugal's territory of Goa. Commissioned in on the site of a natural harbour, it is one of India's oldest ports. The port employs around 2, employees and has about 4, pensioners. This article is about the film.

  • Daniel Carney and Zimbabwe
    DANIEL CARNEY AND ZIMBABWE In the early 1980s, Daniel Carney’s fame as a writer of popular thrillers was cresting. Euan Lloyds’ film of Carney’s second novel, The Wild Geese, had just been released, its blood-and-guts depiction of white mercenaries in Africa continuing to delight overgrown teenagers on YouTube to this day. Filmed to much protest in apartheid South Africa, the production was followed in 1985 by the far less successful Wild Geese II, based on Carney’s novel The Square Circle. If Wilbur Smith, Robert Ludlum and other thriller writers signed to Bantam in the seventies are still read today, then Carney’s name and work have disappeared almost completely. In part, this can be explained by his widow’s refusal to allow reprints of his work after his death aged 43 in 1987. However, Carney’s association with the white minority rule of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) might also be blamed for his obscurity, even if this association now seems as unfair and crass as Rhodesia’s political system prior to 1979. Far from endorsing the Rhodesian regime, Carney’s thrillers show an increasing distance from white minority rule while condemning the horrific terrorist acts of Mugabe’s ZANU guerillas. Unremarked even at its publication in 1980, his best novel Under a Raging Sky hinted at a future with genuine democracy in Zimbabwe, at the same time as noting the dangers of what was, in fact, to ensue: a rushed endorsement of Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF with the tragic consequences we see today. The son of a British diplomat and a wealthy Canadian mother, Carney was born in Beirut in 1943 and shuttled between Macau, Canada and West African states as a child before being sent to boarding school in England at the age of seven, after which time he rarely saw his parents, other than during summer holidays.

  • Wild Geese and Solidarity: Conjunctural Praxis for a Spirit-Filled Ethics
    Wild Geese and Solidarity: Conjunctural Praxis for a Spirit-filled Ethics MARILYNJ. LEGGE Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting­ over and over announcing your place in the family ofthings. 1 Introduction IN OUR CURRENT condition of postrnodem globalization, capitalism infil­ trates and commodifies the nooks and crannies of our personal lives and our world. This dislocation of our spatial, social, historical, and intimate connections presents new difficulties for building justice and peace and mending creation. In the absence of credible political alternatives, people's energy and hope for change can weaken and fade our vision of a common good. How can people link across particularities for the sake of justice and community? Mary Oliver's poetic voice moves us to pursue shifting pattems of conjunction. Like wild geese who resist domestica­ tion, we need to preserve energy in the rhythm of ongoing movement, to participate in a joumey without assured outcomes, to share leadership and rest, and never to forget the most vulnerable. In this harsh and excit­ ing world, we will conjoin social relations with the mystery of Cod's creation.2 1. Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese," in Dream Work (New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1986),14. 2. My hearty thanks to Liz Bounds, Michael Bourgeois, and Alyda Faber for their con­ structive response to earlier drafts of this essay. 165 166 MARILYN J. LEGGE Beverly Wildung Harrison is a contemporary prophet who considers theological ethics as a material practice. She has mentored many of us near and far in the political project of making Christian theology gen­ uinely critical enough to escape cultural provincialism, especially by making ethics and radical social change accountable to women's lived­ world experience, particularly that of those most marginalized.

Are you certain this article is inappropriate? Email Address:. At first, Carney could not get his novel published, but for a chance meeting with film producer Euan Lloyd. Lloyd loved the story, about mercenaries in Africa on a mission to rescue a deposed leader, and purchased the rights to film the novel. Carney in return asked for his novel to be published and Lloyd agreed, as he had already had an offer from an American The Wild Geese when he had first taken the novel to Hollywood. The novel was finally published as The Wild Geese in just before the film's release. Deposed Congolese President Julius Limbani is on a flight to Israelwhen his bodyguard is murdered. When Limbani fails to arrive, Faulkner is left unemployed and returns to South Africa. Faulkner learns that not only is Limbani alive The Wild Geese he is held in Algeria and is to be returned to the Congo for execution. But what Matherson proposes is for Faulkner to raise and lead a The Wild Geese unit to rescue Limbani and bring him to London. With this chance to redeem his tarnished reputation after Limbani was kidnapped under his contracted safety, Faulkner agrees and sets about assembling his team. Three men are top of Faulkner's list, all have served under him in the past and are trusted beyond question.

Last month in Salisbury Des Frost, the Rhodesian Front's chairman, said again that the white electorate must have the final say on any settlement proposals. So long as the British Govemment continues to talk to Smith, the regime will take comfort from Britain's failure to propose tougher international action against it. The regime's record shows that it will only give in when it is forced to by the advances of thi liberation movement. It follows that the way Britain can best contribute to a just settlement s to extend sanctions and show its support for the black majority by such measures as giving aid to Zimbabwean refugees and to commented on the latest proposal that it "totally rejected the USA cochairing such a conference" because this would "internationalise the Zimbabwe problem in which the super Powers would be involved".

The British Raj, as part of the Allied Nations, sent over two and a half million soldiers to fight under British command against the Axis powers.

  • Appendix Iii
    GOAPURI & GOA VELHA A Tale of Two Cities - The In-Between Places APPENDIX III lxx GOAPURI & GOA VELHA A Tale of Two Cities - The In-Between Places THE IN-BETWEEN PLACES Panaji The etymology of this name is hotly disputed. Panaji, Panjim once — and still the preferred appellation by many Goans — figured for the first time as ‘Pahajanikhali’ in the copper plate inscription of the Kadamba King Tribhuvanmalla, also known as Vijayaditya, dated February 7, 1107 (Etymology of Village and Place Names’ in People of India - Goa, Volume XXI). Supposedly the word described the charitable deeds, Purta Dharmas, of Gandgopal Kelima, who was then administrating the area. Other etymological theories abound. Dr. V. T. Gune in Gazetteer of Goa, Daman And Diu, Vol I claims that panja (the root of Panaji) means a small boat in Sanskrit and khali mean a canal or a creek. José Nicolau de Fonseca, on the other hand, mentions in An Archaeological and Historical Sketch of the City of Goa that Panaji, then (1879) known as Ponji, was the vernacular word for “arable land that cannot be inundated”. Dr. P. P. Shirodkar, the director of the Goa Department of Archives and Archaeology, refutes Fonseca’s theory on the ground that Panaji then was “almost a cluster of islets with marshy and not arable lands” and suggests that Gune misread Palajanikhali as Panjanikhali and arrived at an incorrect conclusion. Instead, he theorizes that Panaji then was part of the Taleigaon village, and Panaji meant nothing more than the “extreme end” of the village. The Adil Shah Palace: The Palace, also known as the Idalcão, and presently the State Secretariat and the Legislative Assembly, in the heart of the city, built right over the Mandovi, was once the fort of Adil Khan, the Sultan of Bijapur.

Yang 2019 iii Avian Rhetoric, Murmurations Melissa T. Yang, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 This dissertation explores the omnipresent role birds play in the English language and in Western cultural history. Reading and weaving across academic discourse, multi-genre literature, and obsolete and everyday figures, I examine the multiplicity of ways in which birds manifest and are embedded in modes and materialities of human composing and communicating. To apply Anne Lamott’s popular advice of writing “bird by bird” literally/liberally, each chapter shares stories of a species, family, or flock of birds. Believing in the enduring rhetorical power of narrative assemblages over explicit thetic arguments, I’ve modeled this project on the movements of flocked birds. I initially proposed and now offer a prosed assembly of avian figures following each other in flight, swerving fluidly across broad and varied landscapes while maintaining elastic, organic connections.
