  • EAST INDIA CLUB ROLL of HONOUR Regiments the EAST INDIA CLUB WORLD WAR ONE: 1914–1919
    THE EAST INDIA CLUB SOME ACCOUNT OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB & STAFF WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR ONE 1914-1919 & WORLD WAR TWO 1939-1945 THE NAMES LISTED ON THE CLUB MEMORIALS IN THE HALL DEDICATION The independent ambition of both Chairman Iain Wolsey and member David Keating to research the members and staff honoured on the Club’s memorials has resulted in this book of Remembrance. Mr Keating’s immense capacity for the necessary research along with the Chairman’s endorsement and encouragement for the project was realised through the generosity of member Nicholas and Lynne Gould. The book was received in to the Club on the occasion of a commemorative service at St James’s Church, Piccadilly in September 2014 to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Second World War members were researched and added in 2016 along with the appendices, which highlights some of the episodes and influences that involved our members in both conflicts. In October 2016, along with over 190 other organisations representing clubs, livery companies and the military, the club contributed a flagstone of our crest to the gardens of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. First published in 2014 by the East India Club. No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form or by any electronic, mechanical or other means, now known or hereafter invented, including photocopying and recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing, from the East India Club.

  • The Great Reform Act and the Modernization of British Politics: the Impact of Conservative Associations, 1835–1841
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive The Great Reform Act and the Modernization of British Politics: The Impact of Conservative Associations, 1835–1841 Matthew Cragoe hen did nationally based party alignments become significant at Wthe grassroots of British politics? The issue has divided historians. For some, the dramatic rise in contested elections following the Great Reform Act, and the unprecedented partisanship of the enlarged electorate, suggest a real modernization of British politics in the 1830s.1 John Philips, for example, has argued that the measure “helped orient popular politics more con- sistently around national issues,” and Frank O’Gorman and Philip Salmon have both pointed to the way in which the system of annual voter registration introduced in 1832 worked toward a similar end: not only did local parties develop new machinery to deal with registration, but their annual canvass of those eligible for the franchise, in Salmon’s words, “brought the agency of party into every elector’s home and . the politics of Westminster much closer to the electorate.”2 “By Matthew Cragoe is professor of modern history at the University of Hertfordshire. Having written widely on nineteenth-century electoral culture and the twentieth-century Conservative Party, he is currently leading a project that explores the cultural dimensions of parliamentary enclosure and landscape change in the English midlands, 1700–1900. The author would like to thank Paul Readman, Rohan MacWilliam, and the JBS’s anonymous referees for their constructive comments on an earlier draft of this article. 1 Derek Beales suggests that while the number of electors rose by 50 percent, the number of active voters increased by 200–500 percent (“The Electorate before and after 1832: The Right to Vote, and the Opportunity,” Parliamentary History 11, no.

    U N I V E R S I TY O F O X F O R D Discussion Papers in Economic and Social History Number 28, April 1999 LONDON CLUBS IN THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY ANTONIA TADDEI Formerly of Nuffield College, University of Oxford University of Oxford Discussion Papers in Economic and Social History are edited by: Jane Humphries All Souls College, Oxford, OX1 4AL Susannah Morris Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF Avner Offer Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF David Stead Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF papers may be obtained by writing to Avner Offer, Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF email:[email protected] 2 Abstract London clubs provided a means of establishing gentlemanly status and of making useful connections. Their number and membership was large. The paper begins with a quantitative overview of gentlemen’s clubs in London in the late nineteenth century using information contained in contemporary almanacs. The number of clubs and club members were characterised by two periods of intense growth, most significantly during 1860 to 1900, when total membership rose fourfold. This expansion, which exceeded that of the middle-class, was stimulated by the extension of democracy and the general political mobilisation during the Irish crisis in the 1880s. Political clubs became the largest type of club, and their characteristics and importance are examined in detail. A random sample of 200 individuals in Who’s Who sheds light on the frequency of club membership among the elite. The growth of clubland was exhausted by the end of the century, in part because clubs devalued their own worth as a signal of ‘gentlemanliness’.

  • A Glimpse of the Past
    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 34 Number 2 Summer 2013 A Glimpse of the Past by Elin Woodger t’s a funny old world this, when an email from south I London, England, arrives in the inbox of TWS’s membership secretary, Ian Michaud, in Vancouver, Canada, and then is bounced back over to north London, all within a day. The message from Marina Gask concerned her grandfather, who had been interned with Wodehouse at Tost: “I thought you might be interested in speaking to my mother, who is now 80. She is very keen to recount her father’s memories of the internment camp and of Mr. Wodehouse.” Interested? You bet we were! Before long, Norman and I had contacted Marina’s mother, Jeanne Gask, and on February 25 we tootled off to visit her. We arrived to find a table covered with photographs and scrapbooks filled with letters and memorabilia, as well as a petite, white-haired, Internees at Tost: P. G. Wodehouse standing back row, far left; Tom Sarginson seated front row, far right. and charming hostess keen to tell us about her father, Tom (Photo courtesy of Jeanne Gask) Sarginson. That Wodehouse knew Mrs. Gask’s father is not in doubt, for he gets three mentions inPerforming Flea (in the chapter “Huy Day by Day”; his name is misspelled as Sarginsson). The third occurs when Wodehouse describes meals at Tost: At supper two loaves of brunette bread were deposited on each of the tables and divided up among the nine men who sat there.
