  • Old Boys United Kingdom Branch Secretary's
    OLD BOYS UNITED KINGDOM BRANCH Branch Members United Kingdom Branch Michaelhouse Old Boys’ Club 24th August 2016 SECRETARY’S SUMMER LETTER Gentlemen, I write to you having recently returned from the Centenary Commemorations of the Battle of Delville Wood, France. Here a contingent of fifty Old Boys, their families and members of Michaelhouse staff congregated to remember the five Michaelhousians who fell there, as well as the 38 who were killed in action elsewhere during the Great War. The weekend included a fascinating tour of the Somme, led by the renowned author and raconteur, David Walsh. Commemoration Ceremonies were held at the Thiepval Memorial where Gary Ralfe (Chairman of the Board of Governors) and Nigel Tatham (a descendent of one of the fallen) laid wreaths on behalf of the Michaelhouse Community. A moving service, led by Canon Fred Pitout (Old Boys’ Club Secretary), at the grave a Rector Brown was an opportunity for those attending to reflect on the immense sacrifice made by so many. This proved to be an interesting and poignant weekend which I am delighted the UK Branch could play a part in. A full recording of the South African Ceremony at Thiepval Memorial can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxw0BeAw1N0. There are also a few photos attached to this letter. Our first event this year was an informal gathering, held at the Hereford Arms in South Kensington in March. About twenty Old Boys attended, ranging from matric of 1962 to 2009. This was followed by the Live Screening in London of the Hilton vs Michaelhouse 1st Team Hockey and Rugby matches.

  • The US Army Air Forces in WWII
    DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Air Force Historical Studies Office 28 June 2011 Errata Sheet for the Air Force History and Museum Program publication: With Courage: the United States Army Air Forces in WWII, 1994, by Bernard C. Nalty, John F. Shiner, and George M. Watson. Page 215 Correct: Second Lieutenant Lloyd D. Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 218 Correct Lieutenant Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 357 Correct Hughes, Lloyd D., 215, 218 To: Hughes, Lloyd H., 215, 218 Foreword In the last decade of the twentieth century, the United States Air Force commemorates two significant benchmarks in its heritage. The first is the occasion for the publication of this book, a tribute to the men and women who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War 11. The four years between 1991 and 1995 mark the fiftieth anniversary cycle of events in which the nation raised and trained an air armada and com- mitted it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: U.S.Army Air Forces in World War ZZ retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and achievements in air campaigns against tough, determined adversaries. It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries and centers of national life, a doctrine whose legacy today is the Global Reach - Global Power strategic planning framework of the modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war.

Despite this he was well-respected by his pilots for both his flying and leading abilities, and had served in Palestine and Iraq prior to taking over. He shaped the men for combat – reading every situation and knowing when and how to attack, but also when to back out of a fight – helping them to hone their skills. This couldn’t have been more in contrast to No. 1 Sqn’s sister in 67 Wing, No. 73 Sqn, led by ‘Cobber’ Kain, who the No. 1 Sqn boys thought of as a “split-arse pilot”.
