  • Chronology of Evolution of the Camel by Frank J. Collazo December 13, 2010
    Chronology of Evolution of the Camel By Frank J. Collazo December 13, 2010 50-40 million years ago (Eocene): The oldest known camel is Protylopus, appeared 40-50 million years ago (Eocene) in North America. It was the size of a rabbit and lived in the forest. Later, camels spread to the savanna and increased their size. In Oligocene, 35 million years ago, Poebrotherium was the size of a roe deer but already resembled a camel. 45-38 million years ago: The ancestors of the modern camel lived in North America. The ancestors of the lamas and camels appear to have diverged sometime in the Eocene epoch. 24-12 million years ago: Various types of camels evolved. Stenomylus was a gazelle like camel. Alticamelus, which lived 10 to 2 million years ago, had a long neck similar to a giraffe. Procamelus, just 1.2 m tall (like a modern Lama) evolved in the Camelus genus (to which modern camels belong). Lamas migrated to South America, and all the camels in North America died out. Once in Asia, camels migrated through Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. 3-2 million years ago: Camelus passed from North America in Asia through Behringia 2-3 million years ago. 2 million years ago: The ancestors of lama and vicuña passed into the Andes coming from North America. The last camel surviving the cradle of the camel evolution, North America, was Camelops hesternus, which disappeared 12-10,000 years ago together with the whole mega fauna of North America (mammoths, mastodons, giant sloth and saber toothed cats).

  • The Society Congratulates Dr Howard Gray, Winner of the Williams
    October 2019 GENERAL MEETING The next meeting at Stirling House is on Wednesday 16 October at 6pm when Dr Joseph Christensen will present a paper on ‘Cyclones in the first century of European settlement in northwest Western Australia’. Refreshments available from 5.30pm; Bookshop open until 6pm. Tropical cyclones or willy-willys are a recurring feature of life in Western Australia north of the 26th parallel and feature regularly in the work of historians about the vast northwest districts. Few however have sought to look beyond cyclones as singular events to consider them instead as a process shaping patterns of settlement across time. This paper looks at how cyclones have shaped the post-settlement history of the northwest by examining the ways that colonists adjusted to the threat and reality of extreme tropical weather at sea and on land. It therefore aims to look beyond the periodic ‘cyclone disasters’ that devastated coastal shipping and the pearling fleets in the era before the Second World War to also consider a series of lesser-known events that had subtle yet lasting impacts on settlements stretching from Shark Bay to Broome. Cyclones, the paper suggests, are an important aspect of post-settlement history in the northwest. Joseph Christensen is a research fellow at Murdoch University, where he works on the maritime and environmental history of WA. His most recent publication is the edited collection Pearls, People and Power: Pearling and Indian Ocean Worlds (with Pedro Machado and Steve Mullins). The Society congratulates Dr Howard Gray, winner of the Williams/ Lee Steere Publications Prize for 2019 Howard Gray, Jambinbirri - Champion Bay: Geraldton Western Australia: a pictorial and narrative history, Westralian Books, Geraldton, 2018.

ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE Cultural heritage significance means aesthetic, historic, scientific, social or spiritual value for individuals or groups within Western Australia. In determining cultural heritage significance, the Heritage Council has had regard to the factors in the Heritage Act 2018 and the indicators adopted on 14 June 2019.

The Battery formed part of the chain of gun emplacements erected in the west during the war, referred to as ‘Fremantle Fortress’, stretching from between Swanbourne, Cape Peron, Leighton, Woodman Point, Fremantle, Garden Island, and Rottnest Island. Cape Peron K Battery Complex demonstrates the military importance of Cockburn Sound during World War II. Cape Peron K Battery Complex has been associated with the defence of Australia since its acquisition by the Commonwealth in 1916. 11(b) Importance in demonstrating rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Western Australia’s heritage Cape Peron K Battery Complex demonstrates a distinctive method of coastal defence that is no longer relevant in the age of modern warfare.

  • EAST INDIA CLUB ROLL of HONOUR Regiments the EAST INDIA CLUB WORLD WAR ONE: 1914–1919
    THE EAST INDIA CLUB SOME ACCOUNT OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB & STAFF WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR ONE 1914-1919 & WORLD WAR TWO 1939-1945 THE NAMES LISTED ON THE CLUB MEMORIALS IN THE HALL DEDICATION The independent ambition of both Chairman Iain Wolsey and member David Keating to research the members and staff honoured on the Club’s memorials has resulted in this book of Remembrance. Mr Keating’s immense capacity for the necessary research along with the Chairman’s endorsement and encouragement for the project was realised through the generosity of member Nicholas and Lynne Gould. The book was received in to the Club on the occasion of a commemorative service at St James’s Church, Piccadilly in September 2014 to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Second World War members were researched and added in 2016 along with the appendices, which highlights some of the episodes and influences that involved our members in both conflicts. In October 2016, along with over 190 other organisations representing clubs, livery companies and the military, the club contributed a flagstone of our crest to the gardens of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. First published in 2014 by the East India Club. No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form or by any electronic, mechanical or other means, now known or hereafter invented, including photocopying and recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing, from the East India Club.

  • 31 July 2014
    31st July 2014 - Gavin Stamp & Jon Wright Introduction. The United Kingdom National Inventory of War Memorials, (UKNIWM) now has over 60,000 sites on its database and the number continues to grow each year. The variety and diversity of them is staggering. Today, we are going to look at twenty or so C20th/21st London memorials chosen to show the range of artistic responses to commemoration, both after major conflict and more recently, to address retrospective concerns about the lack of monuments to various groups. When our previous chairman Gavin Stamp curated the Silent Cities exhibition at the Heinz Gallery in 1977, there were many who thought it wrong to focus in on the ‘art’ of war memorials, as if in some way that in so doing, one would be ignoring, or at least lessening their importance as sites of remembrance. We are still to fully understand the architectural significance of the huge number of sites built by Lutyens, Herbert Baker, Charles Holden and others, but as Gavin has continued to show through his foreign trips and publications, the building programme for overseas cemeteries and domestic memorials easily eclipsed any public works undertaking before or since. The C20 Society looks at memorials rather differently than the vital organisations set up to document, conserve and care for memorial sites specifically. The War Memorials Trust, whose conservation work remains vitally important to the upkeep of UK memorials is foremost among these groups. English Heritage have listed a significant amount of memorials, and like us, they do judge the monuments for architectural and artistic significance, while bearing in mind the inherent importance of the sites in a social and historic context.
