Eric’s article on the Great War in the book ‘Clarecastle and Ballyea - Land and People 2’ was an invaluable source of information. Eric also has been a great help to me over the past five years, with priceless information on Clare in WW1 and WW2. If that was not enough, Dr Joe Power, another historian from Clarecastle published his excellent book ‘Clare and the Great War’ in 2015. Clarecastle and Ballyea are very proud of their history, and it is a privilege to write this booklet on its contribution to the Great War. 2 Main Street Clarecastle Michael McMahon: Born in Sixmilebridge, lived in Clarecastle, died of wounds 20th Aug 1917 age 25, Royal Dublin Fusiliers 1st Bn 40124, 29th Div, G/M in Belgium.

  • Or, If the Sine Functions Be Eliminated by Means of (11)
    52 BINOMIAL THEOREM AND NEWTONS MONUMENT. [Nov., or, if the sine functions be eliminated by means of (11), e <*i : <** : <xz = X^ptptf : K(P*ptf : A3(Pi#*) . (53) While (52) does not enable us to construct the point of least attraction, it furnishes a solution of the converse problem : to determine the ratios of the masses of three points so as to make the sum of their attractions on a point P within their triangle a minimum. If, in (50), we put n = 2 and ax + a% = 1, and hence pt + p% = 1, this equation can be regarded as that of a curve whose ordinate s represents the sum of the attractions exerted by the points et and e2 on the foot of the ordinate. This curve approaches asymptotically the perpendiculars erected on the vector {ex — e2) at ex and e% ; and the point of minimum attraction corresponds to its lowest point. Similarly, in the case n = 3, the sum of the attractions exerted by the vertices of the triangle on any point within this triangle can be rep­ resented by the ordinate of a surface, erected at this point at right angles to the plane of the triangle. This suggestion may here suffice. 22. Concluding remark.—Further results concerning gen­ eralizations of the problem of the minimum sum of distances are reserved for a future communication.

  • London in One Day Itinerary
    Thursday's post for London Love was Part 1 of 2 of 'London in One Day' where I gave you a short list of essentials to make your day out run as smoothly and comfortably as possible, along with information to purchase your Tube and London Eye tickets . Now that we've got all that taken care off we're off on a busy day filled with many of London's best landmarks and attractions. *Please note that all times listed on here are approximate and will be based on things like how fast you walk, possible train delays, or unexpected crowds. I've done my best to estimate these based on my experiences in London to show you as much as possible in one day (albeit a fairly long, but definitely enjoyable, day). (9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.) WESTMINSTER & WHITEHALL ©2014 One Trip at a Time |www.onetripatatime.com| Yep it's an early start but you've got places to go and things to see! You won't be sorry you got up bright and early especially when you exit Westminster Station and look up and there it is... Big Ben ! Unarguably London's best known landmark and where our tour begins. Take some selfies or have your travel companions take your photo with Big Ben and then save them for later when you have free WiFi (at lunch) to post on all your social network sites. Don't worry that lunch is a few hours off because with time zone differences people back home probably aren't awake to see them yet anyway.

  • The Middlesbrough Roll of Honour of the Great War Names “C”
    Names on the Middlesbrough War Memorial The Middlesbrough Roll of Honour of the Great War Names “C” Compiled by Robert Coulson (1952 – 2008) In the years 1914-1918 thousands of Middlesbrough men and women served their country in a time of hardship, stress and suffering both for the troops on the battlefronts and those left at home. After the Armistice in November of 1918 handsome memorial tablets and plaques recalling the fallen were erected in the works, shops and churches of the Middlesbrough area. At this time a committee was formed to consider the question of a war memorial for the town as a whole to remember the citizens who had laid down their lives. In the words of the committee, “We recognise the splendid sacrifice made by our men and we desire that our children and our children’s’ children should hear the story and share in the inspiration which such sacrifice will always give”. The response of the townspeople resulted in the fine cenotaph of Aberdeen granite and the wall of Portland stone containing the bronze panels with the names of the fallen that we see today at the entrance to Albert Park. The memorial works were completed at a cost of approximately £17,000 and the people of the town attended in their thousands for the dedication and unveiling ceremony which took place on November 11th 1922. This roll of honour contains close to 3500 names of the fallen who are remembered on the memorial and also those whose names were put forward by their families after the unveiling ceremony.
