    Continuing Our Quest to Discover Mary I’s Connections to Winchester and Beyond Intro: Hello and welcome to Hampshire HistBites. Join us as we delve into the past and go on a journey to discover some of the county's best and occasionally unknown history. We'll be speaking to experts and enthusiasts and asking them to reveal some of our hidden heritage, as well as share with you a few fascinating untold tales. Welcome back to a new episode of Hampshire HistBites. In this week’s episode, Johanna Strong delves deeper into the story of Queen Mary I and her links with Hampshire. But before we start, I just need to give a content warning. Content warning: This episode contains a sensitive topic that some people may find uncomfortable. It concerns phantom pregnancies. If you wish to avoid this 4-minute section, please skip between 11 minutes 15 seconds and 15 minutes 18 seconds. Johanna: Chances are if you’re listening to this podcast, you have some interest in royalty. Or at least Hampshire’s role in historical royalty. Or maybe you’re here to learn more about Hampshire in general! Whatever the reason, I do hope you learn something new about Wolvesey Castle, Hampton Court Palace, or Mary I and are inspired to visit either – or both! – of these sites once it’s safe to do so. Now, as they say, on with the show! One thing that hasn’t changed much from the time of the Tudors to today’s royal family is how often they move house.

  • 100 Year Commemoration BATTLE of the SOMME 1St July to 18Th November, 1916 Remembering Hedge End Heroes Lost at the Battle of the Somme
    100 Year Commemoration BATTLE OF THE SOMME 1st July to 18th November, 1916 Remembering Hedge End Heroes Lost at the Battle of the Somme. The Allied offensive upon a line from north of Gommecourt to Maricourt was launched on 1st July, 1916, and the battle lasted seven days. There was little effect upon the German defences and the allied forces met unexpected and fierce resistance. There were devastating losses, little progress on the southern flank and the attack failed. This was the Battle of the Somme. Thiepval Memorial located near the village of Thiepval, off the main Bapaume to Albert Road, is a memorial to the missing of the Somme and bears the names of more than 72,000 officers and men of the United Kingdom and South African forces who died in the Somme sector before 20th March, 1918 and have no known grave. Of those commemorated, 90% died between July and November, 1916. Today, we remember all of those who lost their lives for King and Country, and here we focus on those who were born and lived in Hedge End. James Windsor d. 1st July, 1916 James was the eldest son of Charles and Alice Mary Windsor (née Page) and was born in Hedge End in 1895. His family lived in Chapel Drove. Prior to enlisting James was a Market Gardener/Labourer. Private James Windsor of the 1st Battalion, Hampshire Regiment was killed in action on 1st July, 1916 and is amongst those commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial, he was 21 years of age.

  • Rushmoor Men Who Died During the Battle of the Somme
    Rushmoor men who died during the Battle of the Somme Compiled by Paul H Vickers, Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum, January 2016 Introduction To be included in this list a man must be included in the Rushmoor Roll of Honour: citizens of Aldershot, Farnborough and Cove who fell in the First World War as a resident of Rushmoor at the time of the First World War. The criteria for determining residency and the sources used for each man are detailed in the Rushmoor Roll of Honour. From the Rushmoor Roll of Honour men were identified who had died during the dates of the battle of the Somme, 1 July to 18 November 1916. Men who died up to 30 November were also considered to allow for those who may have died later of wounds received during the battle. To determine if they died at the Somme, consideration was then given to their unit and the known locations and actions of that unit, whether the man was buried in one of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) Somme cemeteries or listed on a memorial to the missing of the Somme, mainly the Thiepval Memorial, or who are noted in the Roll of Honour details as having died at the Somme or as a result of wounds sustained at the Somme. The entries in this list are arranged by regiment and battalion (or battery for the Royal Artillery). For each man the entry from the Rushmoor Roll of Honour is given, and for each regiment or battalion there is a summary of its movements up to the start of the Battle of the Somme and its participation in the battle up to the time the men listed were killed.

    Military History Trail From your starting point at Six Ways, head north up Bellevue Road and follow the sign to the Zig-Zag path. At the seating area halfway up, turn around to admire a stunning view of the Bristol Channel, the Welsh Coast and, on a clear day, North Devon. STOP 1: Viking, French and German Raiders. The two islands, Steep and Flat Holm, were used as staging posts for Viking Raids in the 9th Century. More recently they were fortified to protect the ports and harbours of the Severn estuary from French and German invaders. Upon reaching the top of the Zig-Zag, cross Dial Hill Road and take the footpath directly ahead. About 100 metres in, take the fork to the right and proceed up to the top of Dial Hill where you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. 1. STOP 2: Cold War Horror. This is the site of one of the UK’s 1,563 Royal Observer Corps (ROC) Nuclear Fallout Bunkers. It was built so that ROC personnel could enjoy a degree of safety whilst monitoring the effect of a nuclear blast in the Bristol area. The site was operational from 1959 to 1991, but nothing remains of it now apart from a few pieces of metalwork hidden in the brambles. Proceed down the hill taking the path which runs along the edge of the Cricket Field. Turn left onto Esmond Grove and then right onto Old Park Road. Cross the junction with Thackeray Road and continue on Old Park Road which veers off to the left.

Consequently, men commemorated at other locations around Ashdown Forest are not covered by this project. Our aim is to produce case studies in chronological order, and we expect to produce 116 in total. This first volume deals with the 46 men who died between the declaration of war on 4 August 1914 and 31 December 1916. We hope you will find these case studies interesting and thought-provoking.
