Graveyard Geology
GRAVEYARD GEOLOGY A Guide to Rocks in Graveyards and Cemeteries Wendy Kirk Department of Earth Sciences, David Cook University College London & Aldersbrook Geological Society London Geodiversity Partnership Introduction Walk around graveyards and cemeteries (in this case, those of London and the southeast of England) and it becomes apparent that, prior to the latter part of the twentieth century, many memorials were made out of just a few different rock types. These were chosen for reasons of appearance, cost, workability and ease of transport to the cemetery, as well as for resistance to weathering and dependence on local regulations. In the last few decades, a range of different, interesting and beautiful stones have appeared, many brought in from abroad, enhancing the diversity of materials used. The intention of this guide is to help a non-specialist identify the main rock types, to recognize some of the varieties and to know where some of these might have come from. Graveyards are a wonderful resource for those with an interest in geology at any level, wildlife, plants, history or sculpture. We hope you gain as much pleasure as we have done. First things first A useful place to start is to be able to distinguish between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from melted rock called magma. If this erupts at the surface, it is called lava. It cools and crystallizes quickly, so the grains are too small to see even with a hand lens (magnifying glass). If the lava erupt explosively to form a spray, the cooled fragments are known as volcanic ash. -
Reading Blue Coat School
BLHA Newsletter Chairman's Corner This will be the first Newsletter edited by John Chapman. I know he has many good ideas for its future, and would like to wish him well. As a well-known military historian, his servi- ces must be in great demand at present, so taking on this task cannot have been easy. Members of the committee are particularly keen to let the member societies know what the Association is doing, and what it can do for them. We want the Newsletter to be read as widely as possible by members of member societies. And we would like to hear what the societies are doing. There are around 40 of them, but we only hear regularly from about a dozen in the Newsletter. A recent change in the committee has been brought about by Elias Kupfermann volunteering his services. He is well-known in Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough as a local historian, and I would like to welcome him. There are a number of jobs which need to be done, and I hope he soon finds his niche, and can be formally elected at the next A.G.M. Incidentally, I notice that the Constitution of the Association says that the officers and committee members should “normally” retire after five years. To my surprise, I find that I was first elected in 2009, so I’ve already done my five years! And as for most of the rest of the committee . It needs thinking about. I was pleased to be invited to present the Berkshire History Prize this year: please see the short report and photograph later in this issue. -

The Great War, 1914-18 Biographies of the Fallen
IRISH CRICKET AND THE GREAT WAR, 1914-18 BIOGRAPHIES OF THE FALLEN BY PAT BRACKEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH 7 NOVEMBER 2018 Irish Cricket and the Great War 1914-1918 Biographies of The Fallen The Great War had a great impact on the cricket community of Ireland. From the early days of the war until almost a year to the day after Armistice Day, there were fatalities, all of whom had some cricket heritage, either in their youth or just prior to the outbreak of the war. Based on a review of the contemporary press, Great War histories, war memorials, cricket books, journals and websites there were 289 men who died during or shortly after the war or as a result of injuries received, and one, Frank Browning who died during the 1916 Easter Rising, though he was heavily involved in organising the Sporting Pals in Dublin. These men came from all walks of life, from communities all over Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. For all but four of the fifty-two months which the war lasted, from August 1914 to November 1918, one or more men died who had a cricket connection in Ireland or abroad. The worst day in terms of losses from a cricketing perspective was the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916, when eighteen men lost their lives. It is no coincidence to find that the next day which suffered the most losses, 9 September 1916, at the start of the Battle of Ginchy when six men died. -
