Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia).

    Old and Middle Welsh David Willis ([email protected]) Department of Linguistics, University of Cambridge 1 INTRODUCTION The Welsh language emerged from the increasing dialect differentiation of the ancestral Brythonic language (also known as British or Brittonic) in the wake of the withdrawal of the Roman administration from Britain and the subsequent migration of Germanic speakers to Britain from the fifth century. Conventionally, Welsh is treated as a separate language from the mid sixth century. By this time, Brythonic speakers, who once occupied the whole of Britain apart from the north of Scotland, had been driven out of most of what is now England. Some Brythonic-speakers had migrated to Brittany from the late fifth century. Others had been pushed westwards and northwards into Wales, western and southwestern England, Cumbria and other parts of northern England and southern Scotland. With the defeat of the Romano-British forces at Dyrham in 577, the Britons in Wales were cut off by land from those in the west and southwest of England. Linguistically more important, final unstressed syllables were lost (apocope) in all varieties of Brythonic at about this time, a change intimately connected to the loss of morphological case. These changes are traditionally seen as having had such a drastic effect on the structure of the language as to mark a watershed in the development of Brythonic. From this period on, linguists refer to the Brythonic varieties spoken in Wales as Welsh; those in the west and southwest of England as Cornish; and those in Brittany as Breton. A fourth Brythonic language, Cumbric, emerged in the north of England, but died out, without leaving written records, in perhaps the eleventh century.

    The Ss North Coaster, One of Three

    CHAPTER 10 The s.s. North Coaster, one of three “B” Type coasters owned and operated by Clarke THE QUEBEC NORTH SHORE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND CHARTERING The 1950s would see an economic boom along the Quebec North Shore, and the fleet serving this coast now consisted of the North Shore, North Pioneer and North Coaster, and the North Gaspé by winter. Clarke was well placed to take part in this growth. Equally, with Newfoundland having become part of Canada in 1949, the Gulfport and Novaport formed the core of the company's service to Canada's tenth province. But Clarke ships alone would not be able to satisfy the demand. Clarke ships had always carried both passengers and cargo, but the latter was now becoming increasingly more important. In addition to general cargo, project cargo would flow to the mining and power developments springing up in Quebec and Labrador and consumer traffic would grow to Newfoundland, while backhaul cargoes would be loaded for delivery to Port Alfred, Quebec, Trois Rivières and Montreal. To serve these markets, more ships would soon have to be chartered in to supplement the core fleet. While the late 1940s had often seen Clarke chartering its ships to others, the 1950s would turn out to be Clarke's biggest period by far for chartering ships from other owners. From early days the company had been active in chartering vessels as required for its various scheduled and non- scheduled services. These ships were normally paid for on the basis of a negotiated amount of charter hire per day, called time charter, although there were occasions when the company would engage ships for a lump sum for delivery of a certain cargo on a voyage charter.

Pinning the Daffodil and Singing Proudly: An American's Search for Modern Meaning in Ancestral Ties Abstract This paper is a collection of my personal experiences with the Welsh culture, both as a celebration of heritage in America and as a way of life in Wales. Using my family’s ancestral link to Wales as a narrative base, I trace the connections between Wales and America over the past century and look closely at how those ties have changed over time. The piece focuses on five location-based experiences—two in America and three in Wales—that each changed the way I interpret Welsh culture as a fifth-generation Welsh-American.
  • The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding?

    The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding?

    The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding? David Howell Vol.8 2013 International Journal of Intangible Heritage 103 The ICH of Wales The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding? David Howell Lecturer, History department, University of Wales, Newport. ABSTRACT In the last decade, appearances of the Mari Lwyd have steadily increased during winter time in Wales. A tradition based around the decoration of a horse’s skull, regulated competitive verse and song, and community integration, would in many other parts of the world be acknowledged and celebrated as intangible cultural heritage. Yet, while the number of nations to have ratified the UNESCO Convention on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage continues to grow on an annual basis, no such examples can be found in Wales however, or any other part of the United Kingdom, due to a continuing position of reticence from the Westminster government toward the convention. Does this lack of ratification indicate that Wales is not home to any examples of intangible cultural heritage? This article explores the notion of whether Wales is home to any valid forms of intangible cultural heritage, before challenging whether the same vulnerability seen in many of the international examples of intangible heritage can be illustrated in Wales. Ultimately this will argue that Welsh intangible cultural heritage is an important, living component of contemporary Welsh culture, and that UK ratification of the treaty, rather than being something that might be desired in Wales, should in fact be considered as a necessity. Keywords Mari Lwyd, Christmas traditions, Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru (EGC), or the National Eisteddfod of Wales, Super Furry Animals (SFA), Welsh culture, competition, language festival, step-dancing, revivals.

The only company I will mention is located in Saint John, New Brunswick. The radio operators in this fleet contacted station VCS on a regular basis and some of these operators came ashore and operated the stations in this area. The ships making up this fleet that were fitted with radiotelegraph were registered under Kent Line Limited. This fleet started in 1934 with a 729 gross ton tanker named ELKHOUND. She was registered in Saint John, New Brunswick, and assigned call sign VCXL. She did not have a radio of any description and the call sign was for visual communications only. ELKHOUND was sold to B. Hill and Sons at Bristol, England in 1943 and was last listed in 1948. She had been built at Bristol in 1929. This fleet started immediately after World War II with the WILDWOOD PARK a 10,000-deadweight ton tanker. This tanker was renamed IRVINGDALE in 1947 and was registered in Canada with her original call sign VDYJ.

The author can be contacted at [email protected] 2 Executive Summary Japan is one of the major countries that European biotech companies target in their expansion when it comes to internationalisation. This report intends to be a useful source of information for European SMEs and clusters considering potential cooperation with Japan. In the healthcare sector, and more specifically in the therapeutics development field, partnerships between European and Japanese pharmaceutical companies well established in their respective local markets has typically involved License agreements on co-development and commercialisation rights. The Japanese inlicensor would typically get the rights on a product of European origin to pursue its clinical development in Japan, obtain the local regulatory approval, and commercialise it in the domestic Japanese market. The reverse situation was possible as well, when products developed in Japanese companies pipelines were licensed-out to European based companies.
