Royal Star and Garter Home GB 1992 Archive Royal Star and Garter Home This catalogue was digitised by The National Archives as part of the National Register of Archives digitisation project NRA 41899 The National Archives Royal Star and Garter Home for Disabled Sailors, Sailors and Airmen Archive Introduction to records The records in this Archive have mainly been collected by the Public Relations and Fundraising Department over the past few years, primarily for use in publicity material for the Home. The greatest strength of this collection is probably the photographic material which cover many aspects of the Home's activities from 1916. Also of interest is the collection of Star and Garter Magazine which was run by patients (called residents from 1976) between 1921 and 1994. Most of the more formal archives of the Home however are with the British Red Cross Society Archives and Museum. During the summer of 1915 the Institute of Estate Agents and Surveyors raised £21,000 to buy the semi-derelict Star and Garter Hotel on the top of Richmond Hill for use as a home for men of H M forces permanently disabled as a result of the Great War. They presented the freehold to Queen Mary, consort of King George V, who in turn gave it to the British Red Cross Society. The first admissions to the new Home were on 14 January 1916. It was soon clear that the old Hotel was not suitable as a hospital for disabled men. The old building was demolished in 1920 and a new building, designed by Sir Edwin Cooper, erected on the site. In the meantime the patients were sent to Enbrook House, Sandgate near Folkestone. The new home was formally opened by Their Majesties on 10 July 1924 as the 'British Women's War Memorial' in honour of the money raised for the Home by women throughout the British Empire. The home at Sandgate however remained until May 1940 when patients were evacuated because of the fear of German invasion. The Star and Garter Home received its royal charter in 1979, adding the prefix royal to its name. The Home still actively cares for men (and women from 1986) who served in any of the forces. At present there are some 200 residents. Over the years the Home has pioneered many physio and occupational theraputic techniques for paraplegic and other severely disabled people.

They contain an account of events during the year, including changes in the composition of the governors and senior staff. Also included are the abbreviated audited accounts of the Home. Many annual reports, especially those from the 1940s, are well illustrated with photographs. The format was changed in 1986. Subsequent Annual Reviews (as they are now known) are slickly produced publications, designed for sending to donors and potential donors. Unfortunately this means that it can sometimes be difficult to find out developments within the home from 1986. Copies of these Annual Reviews are in box MISC1. Within these volumes can be found publicity flyers about the work of the Home and its history. This material came from the Secretary's Office.

D., Advisor Mustafa Hadj-Nacer, Ph. D., Co-advisor and Committee Member Sage R. Hiibel, Ph. D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i ABSTRACT In recent years, NASA space exploration has achieved new feats due to advancement in aerodynamics, propulsion, and other related technologies. Future missions, including but not limited to manned mission to Mars, deep space exploratory missions, and orbit transfer vehicles, require advanced thermal management system. Current state-of-the-art for spacecrafts is a mechanically pumped single phase cooling loop that are not enough to meet thermal-related challenges for future space missions. Loop heat pipes (LHP) are the solution for the required thermal management system that is compact, light-weight, reliable, precise, and energy efficient. These are two-phase systems that employ capillary forces instead of pumps to circulate the coolant. In these devices, the coolant evaporates and condenses in the evaporator and condenser, respectively.

  • Minutes of the 48Th Annual General Meeting
    MINUTES OF THE FIFTY SIXTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE HAMPTON WICK ASSOCIATION HELD AT BULLEN HALL, HAMPTON WICK on Thursday 22 March 2018 at 7.30pm Present: CHAIRMAN Mark Merrington TREASURER Carol Dukes and other members, including committee members, totalling 22. Apologies: Jenny Bourne, Christina Gore, Geraldine Locke, Tania Mathias, Fraser Wilson. The Chairman opened the formal meeting by welcoming everyone. Minutes of the 55th Annual General Meeting The Chairman mentioned two small corrections to the minutes of last year’s AGM: a “he” that should have been a “the” and the correction of Jeroen Vonk’s surname. The minutes were then proposed for acceptance by Elizabeth Foster and seconded by Chris Drayson. They were approved by the meeting and signed by the Chairman. Treasurer’s Report Carol Dukes introduced the accounts. She noted that the Association had made a surplus of £1,461. The Christmas lights and carols evening made a deficit of only £158 compared with a deficit of more than £900 in previous years. This was due to a reduction in the amount of lighting commissioned. Main sources of income were Grants from the council (totalling £3,750) and HWA memberships and donations (£1,885 up from £687 in 2016). Main items of expenditure were Christmas lights (£1,658), insurance (£455) and plants for the Library gardens (£531). It was noted that both income and expenditure were inflated by £2,000 due to the Gosling Foundations donations to Richmond in Bloom being handled through the HWA bank account. Account details are: Lloyds NS&I PayPal Opening balances £1,866.98 £3,946.05 £192.58 Income during the year £8,626.59 £ 18.60 £189.33 Expenditure during the year £7,373.11 Closing balances £3,120.46 £3,964.65 £381.91 Surplus for the year £ 1,461.41 Total closing cash position £7,467.02 1 The above figure includes £450.82 held on behalf of the Friends of Hampton Wick Library.

  • Wick House Furnishing Study, Morristown National Historical Park
    MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK WICK HOUSE FURNISHING STUDY JULY 1971 MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK WICK HOUSE FURNISHING STUDY by RICARDO TORRES-REYES OFFICE OF HISTORY AND HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE EASTERN SERVICE CENTER WASHINGTON, D. C. APRIL 1971 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FOREWORD According to the Resource Study Proposal that authorized the preparation of this furnishing study, the Wick House served as the quarters of Major General Arthur St. Clair during the winter encamp­ ment of 1779-80. "A comprehensive study is needed to determine the, furnishings of the 18th century farm house, especially during its use as military quarters. This study will serve as the basis for a definitive furnishing plan for this key point of interpretation." The furnishing plan should be based in both past studies and more recent knowledge. In 1936, after the Wick House was restored, Historical Tech­ nician Vernon G. Setser and Junior Historian Lloyd W. Biebigheiser perpared a report on the furnishings of the house. It was put together as a tentative and suggestive guide for plans to furnish the house as a colonial home of the period of the American Revo­ lution. The report contained the best sources of information avail­ able, which were the property inventories of Henry and Mary Wick, and for comparative purposes, a number of inventories of Morris County residents of the same period. Also included were photographs of New England furniture because these were more readily available and also because the Wicks were of New England origin, a fact that was conspicuously reflected in the architectural style of the house.

  • Notes from the Temporary City: Hackney Wick and Fish Island, 2014 – 2015
    Notes from the Temporary City: Hackney Wick and Fish Island, 2014 – 2015 Notes from the Temporary City: Hackney Wick and Fish Island, 2014 – 2015 Mara Ferreri and Andreas Lang About the authors Mara Ferreri is an urban researcher interested in the potential of temporary art /activist practices in spaces of contested urban transformation. After an MA in Contem- porary Art Theory at Goldsmiths College, in 2013 she was awarded a PhD in the School of Geography, Queen Mary University of London. As a postdoctoral researcher, in 2014 – 2015 she collaborated with public works to explore and analyse the values of temporary uses in Hackney Wick, Fish Island and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. She is currently a lecturer in the Geography Department, University of Durham. Andreas Lang is the co-founder of public works, a non- profit critical design practice that occupies the terrain between art, architecture and research. Working with an extended network of interdisciplinary collaborators, public works aims to re-work spatial, social and economic opportunities towards citizen-driven development and improved civic life. The practice, set up in 2004, uses a range of approaches, including public events, campaigns, the development of urban strategies and participatory art and architecture projects across all scales. Andreas Lang is currently a lecturer in Architecture at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design and at the Umeå School of Architecture (Sweden).

  • Hampton Wick the Newsletter of the Hampton Wick Association (Founded 1962)
    Hampton Wick The newsletter of the Hampton Wick Association (founded 1962) www.hamptonwick.org.uk SPECIAL EDITION.NovemberMay 2013 2011 HWA says goodbye to its Founder COLIN PAIN 1928 – 2013 Colin Anthony Kirby Pain, a Hampton Wick resident for nearly 60 years, died suddenly and sadly on 24th January 2013 aged 84. Amongst other things Colin will be remembered for his dedication to Hampton Wick. He was a founder member of the Hampton Wick Association in 1962 established originally to oppose a flyover extension to the Kingston one way system which would have destroyed half the village and he chaired the Association for many years. In 1977 he and his wife Mu recreated the annual Victorian festival Chestnut Sunday and he attended every year since – wearing his Victorian top hat. He was a member of the friends of Home and Bushy Parks and helped man the information desk in the Pheasantry Welcome Centre. He was also a local historian and often gave talks on the History of Hampton Wick and was a strong supporter of the recently formed Hampton Wick History Group. In 2007 he was awarded a Community Award by Richmond Council for Voluntary Service for outstanding services to volunteering in Richmond Borough. Colin had various hobbies. He was an amateur cinematographer (favouring his beloved standard 8) and cartoonist. He won many awards for his films at the Whitehall Cine club, SERIAC and the IACs top ten as well as internationally. He was also fascinated with magic lanterns and often put on shows with magic lantern slides and was an active member of the Magic Lantern Society.
