    Presented © January 2011-2017 by Charles Savoie An Initiative to Protect Private Property Rights of American Citizens “A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY WAS FORMED IN LONDON AND NEW YORK TO DEMONETIZE SILVER” ---Martin Walbert, “The Coming Battle—A Complete History of the National Banking Money Power in the United States” (1899) "A Secret Society gradually absorbing the wealth of the world." --- Last Will & Testament of diamond monopolist Cecil Rhodes “HERE AND EVERYWHERE” ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PROTECTING YOUR OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN PRECIOUS METALS? THEN PLEASE READ THIS, TAKE WEEKS TO CHECK OUT THE DOCUMENTATION IF YOU DISPUTE IT, AND DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO ENCOURAGE THE WIDEST POSSIBLE READERSHIP FOR IT! THIS MEPHISTOPHELES AND HIS ASSOCIATES AND SUCCESSORS MUST BE STOPPED FROM USING THE PRESIDENT TO SEIZE SILVER AND GOLD! (There is no Simon Templar halo over his head!) Ted Butler, the most widely followed silver commentator, has often said to buy and hold physical, because that puts you beyond COMEX rule changes. That’s correct! However, there remains an immeasurably more insidious, far reaching entity that can change rules---Uncle Sam, and he’s tightly in the grasp of the same forces who’ve depressed silver for generations. Uncle Sam nationalized gold and silver in the Franklin Roosevelt administration; this is subject to a repeat! Now that the price can’t be suppressed, what’s next? FORBID OWNERSHIP! You have hours for professional sports and TV talk shows; how about some time for your property rights, without which you can go broke? Whether the excuse cited is North Korea, the Middle East or other, the actual reason is to break us and prevent capital formation on our part! Please read and act on what follows--- ******************************************************************* *** “What an awful thought it is that if we had not lost America, or if even now we could arrange with the present members of the United States Assembly and our House of Commons, the peace of the world is secured for all eternity.

This booklet has been written in honour of every Old Petriburgian, known or unknown, who made that ultimate sacrifice. The details have been compiled from a variety of sources, including records held by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the General Register Office and The National Archives. Some information has also been extracted from contemporary local newspapers held by the relevant Library and Archives Sections, and from other publications. Many details are from The King’s School’s own archives, including photographs and information kindly given to the school by relatives of those who died. This booklet owes much to the substantial contributions made by the late Commander C.J.G Willis, Peter Miller, Judith Bunten, Jenny Davies and Trevor Elliott, to each of whom many thanks are due. Their generous and enthusiastic collaboration has been truly invaluable and much appreciated. Grateful thanks are also due to the many individuals and organisations that have kindly provided information from their archives and have granted permission to include photographs from their collections, including The War Graves Photographic Project.
