Our trip will focus on the contributions made by Canadian soldiers during World War I and World War II. We will go in-depth in learning about the great sacrifices and heroics that helped to shape our modern world. Educational Tour/Visit Cultural Experience Festival/Performance/Workshop Tour Services Recreational Activity LEAP Enrichment Match/Training Session DAY 1 Saturday, 20 May 2017 Relax and enjoy our scheduled flight from Toronto. DAY 2 Sunday, 21 May 2017 Our 24-hour Tour Director will meet us at the airport and remain with us until our final airport departure. We will have use of a private coach and driver, while touring for the next ten days. Brussels is a vibrant city that has grown from a 10th century fortress into a “Capital of Europe.” With many specialized museums, fun sculptures and plazas, and terrific food, there is something for everyone in Brussels. We will take a City Tour using our private bus and tour director, which will highlight some of Brussels' most important and recognizable landmarks. Visit the Cinquantenaire, known as a temple of history. We will enter through the Arc de Triomphe, built to commemorate Belgium's independence. Inside the great park, we will visit the Musee Royal de l'Armee et d'Histoire Militaire, which traces the history of the Belgian military from the 1830 Revolution, through the Second World War. The museum contains over 130 World War II aircraft. Explore the Grand Place where many of the medieval buildings were destroyed by King Louis XIV in 1695. However it rebuilt soon after and is surrounded by guildhalls, the city's Town Hall, and the Breadhouse. Ypres features gabled guild houses and patrician mansions around the Grote Markt and at the western end of this main central square, Ypres's medieval wealth is reflected in its extravagant Gothic Lakenhalle (Cloth Hall). The original, constructed between 1250 and 1304 along the Ieperlee River, which has long since been banished underground, was blown to bits between 1914 and 1918 and reconstructed with painstaking care in subsequent decades, though the work wasn't finished until 1967. Gilded statues adorn the roof, and a statue of Our Lady of Thuyne, the patron of Ypres, stands over the main entrance, the Donkerpoort. Our base for the first two nights will be in the Ypres area, where breakfast will be provided at the hotel. (Central Ypres hotel will be subject to space availability after the group has booked and provided deposits) This evening we will enjoy dinner in a local restaurant. DAY 3 Monday, 22 May 2017 During the course of our tour we will gain from the knowledge and insight of four half-day local guides while we are here in France. 1 DAY 3 Monday, 22 May 2017 We will take a guided tour of the Salient that will include the St. Julien Memorial, Hill 62, the Yorkshire trench and the Newfoundland Courtrai Memorial. We will also stop to visit the Essex Farm Cemetery, where there are 1,200 WW1 servicemen buried or commemorated. Of these burials 103 are not identified. There are special memorials commemorating 19 casualties who are known or believed to be buried among the unidentified burials. In addition we will stop to explore the Site John McCrae, where the remains of concrete bunkers used by a British Advanced Dressing Station, while separate memorials to John McCrae and his poem In Flanders Fields are just to the east of these bunkers. We will stop to visit the Passchendaele Memorial Park and Grounds, highlighted by the Canadian Memorial that commemorates the Canadian Corps that helped capture the area and end the campaign in 1917. Take a tour of the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917, including the museum's newest addition, the Gallery of Remembrance. The museum features over 5,000 items to include memorabilia, artifacts, photographs, films and wartime maps. Concentrating on the five battles of Ypres and the Battle of Passchendaele 1917, the museum also has a six metre deep dugout with reconstructed communication, dressing posts accommodation and headquarters. Another highlight of our visit we will be the trench experience comprising of six different types of trenches, 125 metres in length, including four German and two British sections. Visit the Flanders Fields Museum, this provides an interesting and comprehensive background guide to the causes and actions of the Great War. This evening we will enjoy dinner in a local restaurant. We will view Menin Gate and then we will witness the Last Post Ceremony, which takes place each evening at 8:00pm. This is a moving ceremony that takes place under the Menin Gate in Ypres and has become part of the daily life of the local people. It is a simple but moving tribute to the courage and self-sacrifice of those who fell in defense of their town. DAY 4 Tuesday, 23 May 2017 Today we will travel from Ypres to Dieppe. En route we will explore the Somme. The Somme is an area of France within the Picardy region, named after the Somme River that flows through it. It was the site of numerous battles in WWI, and is home to many haunting military cemeteries and monuments. Visit the Battlefield Park at Vimy Ridge, and explore the Underground tunnels and trenches. The attack at Vimy Ridge was part of an offensive mounted primarily to draw the Germans’ attention from a major French offensive on the Aisne. The site is now owned by the Canadian Government, and is maintained as a Memorial to the Canadian forces who fought in the Great War. Stop in Beaumont Hamel to visit the Newfoundland Memorial Park, the biggest battalion memorial on the Western Front and the largest area of the Somme battlefield that has been preserved. In addition, see the Schwaben Redoubt and the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing. Thiepval was chosen as the location to commemorate those who died in the Somme sector before March 20, 1918 and who have no known grave. The small town of Dieppe is home to the closest beach to Paris, and is lively with tourists year-round. It is more well-known, however, as the site of a raid by Canadian forces on the 19th of August, 1942. The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal, the Essex Scottish, and the Royal regiment of Canada fell into German hands and were killed during this disastrous battle. The Dieppe area will be our base for the evening. Breakfast will be provided at the hotel. (The requested Dieppe hotel will be subject to space availability after the group has booked and provided deposits) This evening we will have dinner as a group in a local restaurant. 2 DAY 5 Wednesday, 24 May 2017 This morning we will take a Walking Tour of Dieppe. Our tour will include Red and Maples Beaches, as well as the Square du Canada. We will view the monument erected by the town commemorating the long relationship between Dieppe and Canada. The base of the monument is inscribed with the words "nous nous souvenons" ("we remember"). Above the monument, the Canadian Maple Leaf flag is flown side-by-side with that of France. Today we will travel from Dieppe to Normandy. En route we will stop in Honfleur and Bayuex. The former defensive port of Honfleur has grown into one of Normandy’s most appealing harbor towns. The 17th century heart of the city has drawn artists from around France for the last century, including Boudin, Renoir, Courbet, and Cezanne; painters are still often seen along the quayside. Bayeux was the first town to be liberated after the Normandy invasion, but escaped the war with little damage, allowing its charming streets to be preserved. A walk through town reveals a wealth of 15th-19th century buildings and streets lined with cafes and shops. Visit the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux, home to one of the most famous tapestries in the world. The tapestry is actually embroidery on a band of linen, 231 feet long and 20 inches wide. It depicts 58 scenes in eight colors, telling the story of the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy. Tour the Bayeux Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Bayeux). It was consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror. The Bayeux area will be our base for the next two nights. While here, we will enjoy breakfast at the hotel. (The requested Bayeux hotel will be subject to space availability after the group has booked and provided deposits) This evening we will have dinner as a group in a local restaurant. DAY 6 Thursday, 25 May 2017 Due to the volume of history and information to be learned in this location, we will benefit from the knowledge and wisdom of a Full Day Local Specialist-Guide today. Explore Juno Beach, which was one of the five main landing sites of the Allied invasion off the coast of Normandy on D-Day during World War II.

  • Off the Pedestal, on the Stage: Animation and De-Animation in Art
    Off the Pedestal; On the Stage Animation and De-animation in Art and Theatre Aura Satz Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London PhD in Fine Art 2002 Abstract Whereas most genealogies of the puppet invariably conclude with robots and androids, this dissertation explores an alternative narrative. Here the inanimate object, first perceived either miraculously or idolatrously to come to life, is then observed as something that the live actor can aspire to, not necessarily the end-result of an ever evolving technological accomplishment. This research project examines a fundamental oscillation between the perception of inanimate images as coming alive, and the converse experience of human actors becoming inanimate images, whilst interrogating how this might articulate, substantiate or defy belief. Chapters i and 2 consider the literary documentation of objects miraculously coming to life, informed by the theology of incarnation and resurrection in Early Christianity, Byzantium and the Middle Ages. This includes examinations of icons, relics, incorrupt cadavers, and articulated crucifixes. Their use in ritual gradually leads on to the birth of a Christian theatre, its use of inanimate figures intermingling with live actors, and the practice of tableaux vivants, live human figures emulating the stillness of a statue. The remaining chapters focus on cultural phenomena that internalise the inanimate object’s immobility or strange movement quality. Chapter 3 studies secular tableaux vivants from the late eighteenth century onwards. Chapter 4 explores puppets-automata, with particular emphasis on Kempelen's Chess-player and the physical relation between object-manipulator and manipulated-object. The main emphasis is a choreographic one, on the ways in which live movement can translate into inanimate hardness, and how this form of movement can then be appropriated.

  • World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District
    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.

Het was het eerste conflict waar naties van alle continenten direct of indirect bij betrokken waren. Hij bracht vooral voor Europa zoveel vernieling en zulke enorme aantallen doden met zich mee dat de overlevenden hem de “Groote Oorlog” noemden. Eén van de belangrijkste slagvelden was het westelijk front, een smalle strook waar in de herfst van 1914 de stormloop van het Duitse leger was vastgelopen en de legers zich in diepe loopgraven hadden ingegraven.

  • Size, Scale and the Imaginary in the Work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim
    Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim © Michael Albert Hedger A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Art History and Art Education UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES | Art & Design August 2014 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hedger First name: Michael Other name/s: Albert Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: Ph.D. School: Art History and Education Faculty: Art & Design Title: Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Conventionally understood to be gigantic interventions in remote sites such as the deserts of Utah and Nevada, and packed with characteristics of "romance", "adventure" and "masculinity", Land Art (as this thesis shows) is a far more nuanced phenomenon. Through an examination of the work of three seminal artists: Michael Heizer (b. 1944), Dennis Oppenheim (1938-2011) and Walter De Maria (1935-2013), the thesis argues for an expanded reading of Land Art; one that recognizes the significance of size and scale but which takes a new view of these essential elements. This is achieved first by the introduction of the "imaginary" into the discourse on Land Art through two major literary texts, Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726) and Shelley's sonnet Ozymandias (1818)- works that, in addition to size and scale, negotiate presence and absence, the whimsical and fantastic, longevity and death, in ways that strongly resonate with Heizer, De Maria and especially Oppenheim.
