  • Britain in the Falklands War
    GENDER AND NATIONHOOD: BRITAIN IN THE FALKLANDS WAR INTRODUCTION: ‘THE YOMPER’ In 1992 Lady Thatcher gave the inaugural speech at the unveiling of a commemorative statue of ‘The Yomper' at the Royal Marines Museum in Eastney, Portsmouth. This ceremony, and the statue itself, link together the two areas which this paper examines: the ways in which the Falklands War was gendered and the ways in which it was represented as a continuation of the Second World War. In its physical appearance 'The Yomper' is a very active, heroic, masculine representation of war and of soldiering. Not all commemorative statues of war look like this: the Vietnam Memorial in Washington and the Cenotaph in London show that memorials to the dead in warfare do not have to literally 'refigure' them. Instead, 'The Yomper' can be seen as a particular way of remembering a particular war. The Falklands War was a war in which gender divisions were seen in very sharp relief. Men went away to battle whilst women waited at home. The male soldiers seen in the media and spoken of in Parliament were active, fighting for their country; the women at home were seen as relatively passive, able to do little except wait for news of their men. The statue represents, in figurative form, this gendering of warfare. Unveiling the statue, and explaining how the phrase 'to yomp' had entered the British language in 1982, Lady Thatcher described the role of the Royal Marines, and of the rest of the Task Force, during the Falklands War: "Without warning, they and others were called upon to restore British people and British territory to the freedom and justice which we take for granted.

  • ROYAL NAVAL HOSPITAL, HASLAR Journals of Naval Surgeons, 1848
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT ROYAL NAVAL HOSPITAL, HASLAR Journals of naval surgeons, 1848-80 Reels M708-12 Library Royal Naval Hospital Haslar Road Gosport, Hampshire PO12 National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1967 HISTORICAL NOTE The Royal Hospital at Haslar, on the southern tip of Gosport Peninsula in Hampshire, was opened in 1754. At the time, it was the largest hospital in England and the largest brick building in Europe. By 1790 there were 2100 patients in the buildings. Until the twentieth century, the hospital was managed by naval officers rather than doctors. However, the staff included some distinguished doctors. James Lind, who was Chief Physician from 1758 to 1783, was the author of A treatise of the scurvy (1753) in which he stressed the importance of fresh fruit and vegetables. The noted explorer and naturalist Sir John Richardson was Inspector of Hospitals and Fleets at Haslar from 1838 to 1855. Thomas Huxley worked at Haslar before joining HMS Rattlesnake in 1846. During World War I and World War II, the Royal Naval Hospital treated huge numbers of Allied and enemy troops. It remained an active hospital until the end of the twentieth century, finally closing in 2009. SURGEONS’ JOURNALS The journals of naval surgeons held in the library at the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar were later transferred to the Public Record Office in London (now The National Archives). They were placed in Adm. 101. Admiralty, Medical departments, Registers and journals. In the following list, the current location of a journal within Adm. 101 is indicated at the end of each entry.

  • Annual Report for 2011 of the Independent Monitoring Board for Haslar Immigration Removal Centre
    ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2011 OF THE INDEPENDENT MONITORING BOARD FOR HASLAR IMMIGRATION REMOVAL CENTRE 1 Statutory Role of the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) for Haslar Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 requires every IRC to be monitored by an independent Board appointed by the Home Secretary from members of the community in which the centre is situated. The Board is specifically charged to: (1) satisfy itself as to the humane and just treatment of those held in immigration removal centres. (2) inform promptly the Secretary of State, or any official to whom he has delegated authority as it judges appropriate, any concern it has. (3) report annually to the Secretary of State on how far the immigration removal centre has met the standards and requirements placed on it and what impact these have on those held in the centre. To enable the Board to carry out these duties effectively its members have right of access to every detainee and every part of the centre and also to the centre’s records. Although appointed by Home Office Ministers Board members are unpaid volunteers and are independent of both Her Majesty’s Prison Service (HMPS) and the United Kingdom Borders Agency (UKBA). As such they are the only independent presence in the Centre on a day-to-day basis.
