LARGE PRINT GUIDE Please return to the box for other visitors. RAF Stories: The First 100 Years 1918 –2018 Founding partner RAF Stories: The First 100 Years 1918–2018 The items in this case have been selected to offer a snapshot of life in the Royal Air Force over its first 100 years. Here we describe some of the fascinating stories behind these objects on display here. Case 1 RAF Roundel badge About 1990 For many, their first encounter with the RAF is at an air show or fair where a RAF recruiting van is present with its collection of recruiting brochures and, for younger visitors, free gifts like this RAF roundel badge. X004-5252 RAF Standard Pensioner Recruiter Badge Around 1935 For those who choose the RAF as a career, their journey will start at a recruiting office. Here the experienced staff will conduct tests and interviews and discuss options with the prospective candidate. 1987/1214/U 5 Dining Knife and Spoon 1938 On joining the RAF you would be issued with a number of essential items. This would have included set of eating irons consisting of a knife, fork and spoon. These examples have been stamped with the identification number of the person they were issued to. 71/Z/258 and 71/Z/259 Dining Fork 1940s The personal issue knife, fork and spoon set would not always be necessary. This fork would have been used in the Sergeant’s Mess at RAF Henlow. It is the standard RAF Nickel pattern but has been stamped with the RAF badge and name of the station presumably in an attempt to prevent individuals claiming it as their personal item.

" Now, instead of going on denying that we are an unmusical nation, let us do our utmost to prove that we are a musical nation."—SIR ALEX. MACKENZIE. " A History of British Military Music is much needed." So said the Musical Times some six or seven years ago and to-day, when military music and military bands are so much discussed, a work of this kind appears to be urgently called for. This volume, however, makes no pretence whatever to supply the want, but merely claims to be a history of one of the famous bands in the service, that of the Royal Artillery. The records of this band date as far back as 1762, when it was formed, and I doubt if there is another band in the army with a continuous history for so long a period.

He served during the War of 1812. He was an author, artillery scientist, chemist, and naval educator. Marshall was a warrant officer. His specialization was gunnery. He wrote Marshall's Practical Marine Gunnery. Marshall eventually became a master gunner in the U.S. Navy. Master was the highest rank a gunner could obtain. His son and sons-in-law also became gunners. He was one of the most important naval gunners in U.S. history. He helped build the framework of U.S. naval gunnery education. His book on naval gunnery outlined, artillery propulsion, over fifty chemical mixtures for pyrotechnics, Greek fire, smoke bombs, three different chemical mixtures for dying clothes, and the chemical composition of a stain removal solution. The book also lists the chemical names of dozens of different substances used in the early nineteenth century predating Dmitri Mendeleev’s periodic table and the standard chemical nomenclature of the 20th century. Marshall was born on the Greek island of Rhodes in 1781. Marshall was in the United States around the time America fought the First Barbary War. The country was 31 years old. He married Phillippi Higgs.

Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder) Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder) Abstract: Farnham “Gunner” Johnson, an Appleton, Wisconsin native, discusses his service as a 1st lieutenant in the Marine Corps during World War II with the Fleet Marine Force Pacific Forward Echelon and with the Guam Island Command. Johnson mentions his family moved from Minnesota to Appleton (Wisconsin) when he was age one because his father, a dentist and World War I Marine Corps veteran, left the Veterans Administration Hospital where he had been working to open his own dental practice. Johnson mentions he graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Menasha (Wisconsin) in 1941 and attended the University of Wisconsin in the fall, where he played on the football team. He recalls hearing about the bombing of Pearl Harbor in the football dormitory and being one of the few who knew where Pearl Harbor was located. Johnson discusses at length his football career at the University of Wisconsin, in the Marine Corps, and as a professional with the Chicago Bears and the All American Football Conference’s Chicago Rockets. In 1941, Johnson states the University of Wisconsin made ROTC compulsory for all male students; he describes doing ROTC drills in the livestock pavilion.
