  • A Re-Write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I Spent Much of the Lockdown Last Year Researching and Re-Writing the World War Two Roll of Honour
    A Re-write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I spent much of the lockdown last year researching and re-writing the World War Two Roll of Honour. The reason for a revision 55 years after the original publication is that the Roll of Honour published in 1965, although a wonderful document which paints an affectionate picture of those 161 boys who gave their lived in the Second World War, is sadly short of specific detail of where they served and how they came to lose their lives, although this is not surprising given the shortage of such information at that time. I have updated and extended this moving record, using the extensive information now available on the internet, but also with the assistance of several distinguished and able helpers. The task is complete and the results will, I hope, be available for publication in 2021. There are now 163 names as I have discovered the deaths of Edward Crosse and Cecil Thomas and added their names to the Roll of Honour. All former day boys who joined before 1936 are described as Home Boarders because that name was used until Stanley Powell’s gift of his house to the College. Finally, the fact that the number of names on the Roll of Honour is less than in the First World War cannot pass unnoticed. Perhaps there is significance in the fact that, of all OEs killed in the 1939-45 war, nearly forty per cent were aircrew. Certain it is that our record in the air, for all its grievous cost, gives much cause for pride in the eminence attained and the awards gained by Old Eastbournians.

  • Stones Used in the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, Staffordshire
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 4 Stones used in the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, Staffordshire Ruth Siddall The Armed Forces Memorial; Portland Stone The National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas has become established as a garden of National Remembrance, with almost 400 memorials and thousands of commemorative trees (with new ones added every year) which commemorate Her Majesty’s Armed Forces who have served in military campaigns since the start of the 20th Century. Civilian organisations are also represented. These include the Emergency Services and other civilian services, organisations, charities and groups who have served the nation from the UK or the Commonwealth. Other memorials commemorate individuals or groups who have achieved recognition for their service or sacrifice. The site was conceived in the mid 1990s by Royal Navy Commander David Childs CBE and Group Captain Leonard Cheshire who were partly inspired the Arlington National Cemetery in the USA, believing that the UK lacked a single place for national remembrance (Bowdler, 2021; Williams 2014, Gough, 2009). However, unlike Arlington, this is not a cemetery, it is a ‘cenotaphic memorial landscape’ and one not just dedicated to the remembrance of troops and civilians lost in wars (Williams, 2014). The only burials here date to the Bronze Age; several barrows are located on the site (NMA, 2017, Williams, 2014). Land was donated by Lafarge Tarmac Aggregates Ltd., much of the 150 acre site was formally a gravel pit working the glacial river gravels of the Rivers Trent and Tame (the Arboretum is still surrounded by gravel pits today). The area was landscaped and the first trees were planted in 1997.

  • Visual Discourses of Commemorative War Monuments
    Visual and Written Discourses of British Commemorative War Monuments N. Gillian Abousnnouga Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies Cardiff University This thesis is submitted to Cardiff University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2012 Abstract This thesis analyses commemorative war monuments using a social semiotic approach to understand how they communicate as three-dimensional objects, considering their design alongside contextual information. Taking a social semiotic approach to the study of commemorative war monuments, it responds to calls by historians for innovative ways to study war commemoration by providing an approach that offers both specific analysis of the objects and attends to matters of design. This thesis also provides a contribution to the work in Critical Discourse Analysis on discourses of war through its analysis of the way that certain dominant discourses of war are realised, maintained and legitimised; not just through political speeches and news texts, but visually and materially through these objects that appear in cities, towns and villages across Britain. Following in the relatively recent tradition of multimodal analysis, the thesis draws on the ideas of Kress & van Leeuwen, adapting and extending their theories to the analysis of typical examples of post-First World War British commemorative war monuments. The analysis reveals that sign makers rejected modern forms, relying on classical styles of representation to realise meanings which serve to recontextualize the brutality of war. These monuments contain powerful discourses of denial that work to promote the sacrifice of life by creating a strong, ethnically homogenous and consentient national group that acts uniformly to carry out the will of the nation-state.

  • The Gallipolian Index
    THE GALLIPOLIAN INDEX Note for guidance on using the Index 1. The index was originally compiled in 2007 by Gallipoli Association member, Robert Pike, to whom the then Editor, David Saunders and his successors are greatly indebted. The original index was updated and significantly expanded by Foster Summerson when he edited the journal from 2008 - 2015, and more recently by myself. 2. The index does not aim to be a comprehensive guide to everything that has appeared in The Gallipolian over the past years. It is essentially an alphabetical listing, by subject area, of articles dealing with a range of 'Gallipoli related' topics. 3. Items within each subject area (e.g. Merchant Navy, Suvla etc.) are listed with the issue number in which they appeared. Thus, for example, an article that featured in issue No. 69 will be listed before one on the same or similar subject that appeared in issue No. 86. The only exceptions are in the case of Book Reviews, Obituaries and Poetry (see paragraph 5 below). Where articles encompass different subject areas, every effort has been made to record the article in each (e.g. a memoir written by a veteran of the campaign, will be listed both under 'Memories/ Reflections'; the unit in which he served; and often under the veteran's name). 4. County regiments afforded the title ‘Royal’ are listed thus: Berkshire Regiment, Royal. Other regiments and corps afforded that honour (e.g. Royal Fusiliers, Royal Irish Rifles etc.) are indexed under ‘R’ – ‘Royal …’. 5. Book Reviews (listed alphabetically by author), Obituaries (alphabetically by name of the deceased and sub-divided between Veterans and others) and Poetry (alphabetically by title) are contained in separate sections at the end of the main index.
