  • 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.

Opinions of Eminent Men. Statement of progress to March, 1914. Copies of this and other Pamphlets and of those circulated in France and Germany, may be obtained from MR. WM. WI LLETT. Sloane S quare, London , S. W. THE WASTE OF DAYLIGHT V E R Y 0 N E appreciates the long light evenings. Everyone laments their shrinkage as Autumn approaches, and nearly every- one has given utterance to a regret that the clear bright light of early morning, during Spring and Summer months, is so seldom seen or used. Nevertheless, Standard time remains so fixed, that for nearly half the year the sun shines for several hours each day, while we are asleep, and is rapidly nearing the horizon when we reach home after the work of the day is over. There then remains only a brief spell of declining daylight in which to spend1 the short period of leisure at our disposal. Now, if one of the hours of sunlight wasted in the morning could be added to the end of the day, many advantages would be gained especially , by those who would spend in the open air, what- ever time they might have at their disposal after the duties of the day have been discharged. By a simple expedient, these advantages can be secured. If we will reduce the length of one Sunday, in the Spring, by 60 minutes, a loss of which no one would be conscious, we shall have 60 minutes more daylight after 6 o clock, on each succeeding day, until the Autumn.

  • How to Find the Details of a Property in the Valuation Office Survey Mortlake
    How to find the details of a property in the Valuation Office Survey The Valuation Office Survey, which was carried out between 1910 and 1915, provides a unique snapshot of land and property in the Edwardian era, assessing its worth, how it was used and by whom. The survey took place as a result of the 1909-1910 Finance Act which provided for the levy and collection of a duty on land in the United Kingdom based on any increased value of the land as a result of public money spent on communal infrastructure. There are two types of records: marked-up Ordnance Survey maps and field books. The maps act as an index to the field books. The field books provide information such as the names of owner and occupier, details of tenancy (term and rent), the market value of the property and a description including the area covered, the number of rooms and the state of repair. The National Archives guide suggests consulting the maps first in order to find the appropriate field book. However, the following table provides an alternative way of finding the field book for particular roads or properties in Mortlake and Barnes Mortlake Reference From To 69848 1 100 Mortlake High Street (odd numbers); Lower Richmond Road (even to 28), north side; Guildford Place, Rose Cottages, Prospect Place, North Worple Way (part), White Hart Lane (part), Broadway 69849 101 200 White Hart Lane (part), First Avenue, Second Avenue (part) 69850 201 300 Second Avenue (part), North Worple Way (part), Cowley Road (part), High Street flats 69851 301 400 Cowley Road (part), North Worple Way (part), Ashleigh Road (part) 69852 401 500 Ashleigh Road (part), Avondale Road 69853 501 600 Mortlake High Street (even numbers), south side.
