  • A Re-Write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I Spent Much of the Lockdown Last Year Researching and Re-Writing the World War Two Roll of Honour
    A Re-write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I spent much of the lockdown last year researching and re-writing the World War Two Roll of Honour. The reason for a revision 55 years after the original publication is that the Roll of Honour published in 1965, although a wonderful document which paints an affectionate picture of those 161 boys who gave their lived in the Second World War, is sadly short of specific detail of where they served and how they came to lose their lives, although this is not surprising given the shortage of such information at that time. I have updated and extended this moving record, using the extensive information now available on the internet, but also with the assistance of several distinguished and able helpers. The task is complete and the results will, I hope, be available for publication in 2021. There are now 163 names as I have discovered the deaths of Edward Crosse and Cecil Thomas and added their names to the Roll of Honour. All former day boys who joined before 1936 are described as Home Boarders because that name was used until Stanley Powell’s gift of his house to the College. Finally, the fact that the number of names on the Roll of Honour is less than in the First World War cannot pass unnoticed. Perhaps there is significance in the fact that, of all OEs killed in the 1939-45 war, nearly forty per cent were aircrew. Certain it is that our record in the air, for all its grievous cost, gives much cause for pride in the eminence attained and the awards gained by Old Eastbournians.

  • Aircraft Profiles Were Created Originally for Still-To- Be Completed Books on the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm During the Second World War
    This page intentionally left blank PREFACE his document has been created to illustrate my interest in the Second World War and of what can be achieved in the Adobe Creative Suite. All design and layout was accomplished within Adobe InDesign CS2; the artwork using Photoshop 7.0. While this volume is constricted to the aircraft of the Second TWorld War, a topic chosen for its relative diversity. The aircraft of that conflict sported colors and schemes of a variety and aesthetic beauty rarely matched since. Despite its martial bearing, this subject also lends itself to illustrating the cultural bearing of nations at the time. In many instances, the heraldry and badges carried are displayed next to the respective craft. In the case of the British, each of these official unit badges had to be personally approved by the sovereign of that age, and in the following examples, either by King George V or King George VI. Many of these badges represent traditions, past history or take their colors from a local coat of arms. Not only did this link a specific unit to the place of its inception, but served to impart an esprit de corps on its serving men and women. Much of this work could not have been composed without Barry C. Wheeler’s seminal Guide to Military Aircraft Markings, which sparked my interest in aircraft camouflage, coloring and more importantly, squadrons. Most of the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aircraft profiles were created originally for still-to- be completed books on the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War.

  • Canford School Roll of Honour
    CANFORD SCHOOL ROLL OF HONOUR INTRODUCTION To Paul, accidentally killed on training, May 1942. The hard- mouthed one had said: There is nothing to be sorry for, he died at once And without pain. And without pain? Would I have feared pain for you, You, so large of heart, so gently strong? But to leave life quickly in summer - One morning quite suddenly while birds sang And before the bluebells in the woods Had flooded the banks of their blue lakes - To go without leave- taking From a May morning before the mist had left the turf; I had sorrow in your death, not for the pain, For you could bear all pain who walked alway Hand in hand with life as with a long- tried friend, But this brief summons from wet grass and trees In early days before the fields were high in green, Before the birds had sung the summer in - This unwonted haste away from us, From laughter and from happiness and, aye, from pain, For this I sorrowed, and for this within my heart I wept while working in the year's first smile. So wrote Captain Richard Spender of his friend Eric Paul Nelson, Old Canfordian, who was killed in an accident with a Mortar whilst serving as an instructor at a Battle School. And these words can serve to commemorate all the O.Cs who died on active service during the Second World War. They were all young: Captain Benjamin Pulvertaft, Royal Tank Regiment was the first O.C. to pass out of Sandhurst and he was killed in East Africa in 1941 , aged only 33 .
