  • Of Australia's First Woman Sculptor and Her War Memorials
    In Memoriam: World War I memorials by the Australian sculptor Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930). Margaret A. Rose, FAHA, FRHistS Margaret Francis Ellen (“Nell”) Baskerville was born in Melbourne, Victoria in 1861 and was one of the first Australian-born women artists to become a professional sculptor. This brief illustrated account of her war memorials is based on my study of her work and that of her husband and fellow sculptor C. Douglas Richardson, which was published for the Brighton (now Bayside) City Council collection of their paintings and sculpture under the title Victorian Artists. Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930) and C. Douglas Richardson (1853-1932) in 1988. Several memorials to the fallen were commissioned and completed by sculptors as well as by stonemasons in Australia in the aftermath of the “Great War”. Many are recorded, and some are illustrated, in the numerous editions of Sacred Places: War Memorials in the Australian Landscape by K.S. Inglis, assisted by Jan Brazier, of 1998, as well as – more recently – on websites such as those for the “Monument Australia” and “Victorian Heritage” databases. As Inglis has noted, the majority of the war memorials unveiled in the public spaces of Australian towns following World War I had been for – and had illustrated – the male soldiers who had fought and fallen in battle. Amongst the memorials built and unveiled following World War I were, however, also two by the Australian sculptor Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930) for the British nurse Edith Louisa Cavell. Cavell (born in Norfolk, England in 1865) had trained as a nurse in London under a friend of Florence Nightingale (Matron Eva Luckes), had taken up work in Belgium and been executed there at dawn on 12 October 1915 by order of the German Military Governor of Brussels for having assisted in the escape of allied soldiers, and despite the fact that she had tended the wounded of both sides.

  • Urban Geology in London's Theatreland: St Martin's Lane to Shaftesbury Avenue R
    Urban Geology in London No. 31 Urban Geology in London’s Theatreland: St Martin’s Lane to Shaftesbury Avenue Ruth Siddall This walk takes us along St Martins Lane and Shaftesbury Avenue to St Giles, near the intersection of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street. There are a fine selection of buildings in this area, serving London’s Theatreland; churches, restaurants and of course theatres are found amongst pubs, shops and gentlemen’s clubs. Those with interesting building stones are described below. Architectural notes are from Pevsner (Bradley & Pevsner, 2005; Cherry & Pevsner, 1998) unless otherwise cited. This walk begins at the church of St Martin’s-in-the-Fields at the north end of Trafalgar Square. The nearest tube station is Charing Cross, and a number of buses stop on the east side of Trafalgar Square, near to the church. St Martin-in-the-Fields The 18th Century church of St Martin-in-the-Fields dominates Trafalgar Square. A church of this name has stood on this site since the late 12th Century. However the current building (aBove) was Built Between 1721-6 By architect James GiBBs. At the time, the design was revolutionary, with the prominent, pedimented portico across the west front, and the steeple rising to a height of 58.5 m above the entrance to the church. The design was revolutionary and much copied in the UK, but also notably also in the USA. St Martin-in-the-Fields has recently (2008) undergone a major restoration, led by Eric Parry Architects with stone conservators Stonewest. The fruits of these laBours are mainly oBserved in the interior where Early Cretaceous Purbeck and Lower Jurassic Blue Lias Limestones have Been used for paving.

This Report is based on a draft prepared by Conservation, Architecture & Planning. Development Planning Services, Department of Planning and City Development City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk Document ID No: 1130 PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There area now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents.

  • Australia's Martial Madonna: the Army Nurse's Commemoration in Stained
    Australia’s Martial Madonna: the army nurse’s commemoration in stained glass windows (1919-1951) Susan Elizabeth Mary Kellett, RN Bachelor of Nursing (Honours), Graduate Diploma of Nursing (Perioperative) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of History and Philosophical Enquiry Abstract This thesis examines the portrayal of the army nurse in commemorative stained glass windows commissioned between 1919 and 1951. In doing so, it contests the prevailing understanding of war memorialisation in Australia by examining the agency of Australia’s churches and their members – whether clergy or parishioner – in the years following World Wars I and II. Iconography privileging the nurse was omitted from most civic war memorials following World War I when many communities used the idealised form of an infantryman to assuage their collective grief and recognise the service of returned menfolk to King and Country. Australia’s religious spaces were also deployed as commemorative spaces and the site of the nurse’s remembrance as the more democratic processes of parishes and dioceses that lost a member of the nursing services gave sanctuary to her memory, alongside a range of other service personnel, in their windows. The nurse’s depiction in stained glass was influenced by architectural relationships and socio- political dynamics occurring in the period following World War I. This thesis argues that her portrayal was also nuanced by those who created these lights. Politically, whether patron or artist, those personally involved in the prosecution of war generally facilitated equality in remembrance while citizens who had not frequently exploited memory for individual or financial gain.

The opening lines of Rupert Brooke’s famous poem (above) illustrates muCh of the sentiments assoCiated with the design of war memorials and war graves. It has beCome traditional, on the most part, for stones representing the soldiers’ Countries of origin to be used in memorials ConstruCted to Commemorate them.

  • Memorials to Edith Cavell Information Sheet
    Memorials to Edith Cavell Introduction Edith Cavell was a British nurse who worked in Belgium at the start of World War I. In 1915 she was executed by Germany for treason. After her death various memorials to her were erected around the world. This sheet gives information on some of those in the UK and can be used by pupils a resource during lessons. Further information about Edith Cavell can be found in War Memorials Trust’s ‘Edith Cavell’ helpsheet for teachers which may be used to assist lesson planning. St Martin’s Place, London One of the most prominent and well known memorials to Edith Cavell in the UK is situated in St Martin’s Place, just off Trafalgar Square opposite the National Portrait Gallery in London. The memorial was designed by Sir George Frampton and unveiled on 17th March 1920 by Queen Alexandra, but the creation of the memorial had been discussed since shortly after Cavell’s death in 1915, making it one of the earliest memorial projects of World War I. The memorial consists of a statue of Cavell in the uniform of a nurse. The likeness was modelled on Cavell’s sister. This is stood on a plinth, on the front of which is an inscription reading “Edith Cavell/Brussels/Dawn/October 12th/1915. Patriotism is not enough/I must have no/ hatred or bitterness for anyone.” The last section of this inscription are the words Cavell spoke to the chaplain who was with her the night before she died, and were only added to the memorial in 1922 after petitioning by the National Council of Women of Great Britain and Ireland.

  • American Women and the Veteranist-Commemoration of the First World War, 1917-1945
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: CARRY ON: AMERICAN WOMEN AND THE VETERANIST-COMMEMORATION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR, 1917-1945 Allison Sarah Finkelstein, Ph.D., 2015 Directed By: Associate Professor Saverio Giovacchini, Department of History The commemoration of the First World War deeply impacted American culture between 1917 and 1945, and incited a contentious debate about the best forms of military memorialization. All kinds of American women participated in commemorations alongside men, the government, veterans, and the military. Even more frequently, they took part in predominantly female memorialization projects, many of which aided veterans. Organizations composed of American women who believed they served or sacrificed during the First World War defined community service and veterans advocacy as forms of commemoration that they pursued in addition to, or sometimes instead of, more permanent forms of commemoration. In keeping with women’s contributions to the war effort and their Progressive era service and reform activities, many American women pursued service-based commemorative projects to serve the nation in ways normally prohibited to them because of gender-based restrictions on their citizenship. This dissertation investigates how American women who served during the First World War commemorated the conflict during the interwar period and through the end of World War Two. It employs the term “veteranist-commemorations” to describe the service-based memorialization projects these women advocated, and designates these women as female “veteranist-commemorators.” Rejecting traditional monuments, female veteranist-commemorators placed the plight of male and female veterans at the center of their memorialization efforts. Women’s veteranist- commemorations did not solely address veterans of strictly defined military service, but included anyone who sacrificed during the war.

  • Art Appreciation Lecture Template
    Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2021 Love, sex and death: The constant companions of art Seeker of Souls: Charles Douglas Richardson and Margaret Baskerville Denise Mimmocchi 28 and 29 April 2021 Lecture summary: Charles Douglas Richardson (1853-1932) and Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930) first crossed paths as art students in Melbourne in the 1870s. By the time they married in 1914 Baskerville was 53 and Richardson 61. Each had established artistic careers, predominately as sculptors and had developed a close working relationship. Baskerville was celebrated as the most prolific female sculptor of her time and Richardson as the author of one of the most varied, and unusual oeuvres of Australian artists of his generation. Baskerville and Richardson created works that do not fit ‘neatly’ into the narratives of art histories of this era. In particular, Richardson produced works of strange subjects, at times marked by the doctrines of the late-century Spiritualist movement. This lecture examines the art of Melbourne’s ‘Federation era’ through the lens of Richardson and Baskerville practices, to suggest how the ‘deviations’ of their work from more familiar narratives can broaden our appreciation of this much studied and mythologised era of our art history.

  • 1St EAST ANGLIAN REGIMENT (Royal Norfolk & Suffolk)
    Brigadier R. H. Maxwell, C.B.. Colonel, 1 st East Anglian Regiment (Royal Norfolk and Suffolk). 14 Message from the Colonel of the Regiment During our discussion prior to amalgamation it was decided that our respective Regimental Journals — The Britannia and The Suffolk Regimental Gazette — should cease publication, and that a new Journal should be started which would record not only the activities of the Regular and Territorial Battalions, but also the news and doings of Past Members of each former Regiment. The merging of the two publications is another step in the process of amalgamation, which has been carried out so happily and successfully. In wishing The Britannia and Castle every success, I would stress that this can only be achieved by the active support of all, both by buying the Journal and contributing to its pages. A good Journal is a great Regimental asset, in that it serves to keep all Past and Present Members of The Regiment in touch, not only with the Regiment itself, but with each other. I sincerely hope that it will achieve a very wide circulation. R. H. MAXWELL, Brigadier, Colonel, The First East Anglian Regiment. 16 H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Colonel-in-Chief.
