  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

Beleidsvisie In de Kadernota Sociaal Domein 2019 is opgenomen dat wij inzetten op meer nabij, preventief, dorpsgericht en integraal. Daarbij is het belangrijk dat we per dorp/kern een stevig netwerk creëren met onze partners, voldoende algemene voorzieningen organiseren voor dat wat binnen de dorpen speelt en een model ontwikkelen waarmee we ingezette zorg/hulp eenvoudig en snel op en af kunnen schalen. Deze werkwijze is de rode draad van de ondersteuning die wij onze inwoners willen geven die zij nodig hebben, tegen de kosten die we kunnen financieren. De sociale basis bestaat uit wat inwoners zelf kunnen en wat zij samen met en voor elkaar doen. Dit varieert van burenhulp tot allerlei vrijwilligersinitiatieven, zoals hulp bij het invullen van formulieren of kleine klussen in- en rondom het huis. Wanneer we spreken over de inwoner en zijn eigen netwerk, dan is dit in Renkum relatief kansrijk. Veel mensen in onze gemeente bereid zijn iets voor een ander te doen en dat schept kansen. Ook helpt een sterke sociale basis professionals om inwoners goed te verbinden aan netwerken, activiteiten en algemene voorzieningen in de buurt.

  • Het Heelsumse Beekdal
    Het Heelsumse beekdal Drie beken De oorspronkelijke bronbeek in het Heelsumse beekdal werd eeuwenlang ver- graven of vervangen door sprengenbeken en diende als krachtbron voor de di- verse watermolens. Tot ver op de stuwwal werden sprengen gegraven, om gega- randeerd te zijn van een permanente wateraanvoer. Door het dal lopen drie beken: de Papiermolenbeek, de Wolfhezerbeek en de Heelsumse beek. De sprengen van de Papiermolenbeek liggen op de grootste afstand van de monding (circa 7 km). De sprengen liggen meters diep ingegraven in de stuwwal van Arnhem. Deze bovenloop staat vaak droog door de verlaging van het grond- waterpeil en gebrek aan onderhoud. Delen van de Papiermolenbeek zijn aange- takt aan de Wolfhezerbeek of zijn verdwenen. Tussen de Kabeljauw en papierfa- briek Schut is de beek als middenbeek weer in zicht. De Wolfhezerbeek heeft z’n uitgebreide sprengenstelsel bij de Wodanseiken en een tak ten noorden van het Kousenhuisje. Tot aan de Kabeljauw is de beekbed- ding nog grotendeels intact, maar daarna is ze goeddeels verdwenen. In de om- geving van het Rondeel (zie verderop in dit artikel) ligt een wirwar van geultjes. Deels sprengen, deels vergravingen om water bij het Rondeel te krijgen, maar ook oude wildkeringen met de bijbehorende geulen. De Heelsumse beek ontspringt op de Wolfhezer heide. Deze beek voert perma- nent water en is na de Kabeljauw opgeleid tot aan papierfabriek Schut. Hier stond vroeger papiermolen “de Veentjes”. Behoud van het gehele bekenstelsel in het Heelsumse beekdal is uitgangpunt voor het onderhoud door Waterschap Vallei & Eem (WVE) en Natuurmonumen- ten. Bij de A50 lopen de beken door betonnen goten en door duikers onder de Utrechtseweg en de A 50 door, komen bij elkaar en lopen als één beek door het dal verder naar de N225 (Wageningen-Oosterbeek).

  • Operation Market Garden WWII
    Operation Market Garden WWII Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an Allied military operation, fought in the Netherlands and Germany in the Second World War. It was the largest airborne operation up to that time. The operation plan's strategic context required the seizure of bridges across the Maas (Meuse River) and two arms of the Rhine (the Waal and the Lower Rhine) as well as several smaller canals and tributaries. Crossing the Lower Rhine would allow the Allies to outflank the Siegfried Line and encircle the Ruhr, Germany's industrial heartland. It made large-scale use of airborne forces, whose tactical objectives were to secure a series of bridges over the main rivers of the German- occupied Netherlands and allow a rapid advance by armored units into Northern Germany. Initially, the operation was marginally successful and several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured. However, Gen. Horrocks XXX Corps ground force's advance was delayed by the demolition of a bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal, as well as an extremely overstretched supply line, at Son, delaying the capture of the main road bridge over the Meuse until 20 September. At Arnhem, the British 1st Airborne Division encountered far stronger resistance than anticipated. In the ensuing battle, only a small force managed to hold one end of the Arnhem road bridge and after the ground forces failed to relieve them, they were overrun on 21 September. The rest of the division, trapped in a small pocket west of the bridge, had to be evacuated on 25 September. The Allies had failed to cross the Rhine in sufficient force and the river remained a barrier to their advance until the offensives at Remagen, Oppenheim, Rees and Wesel in March 1945.

Building upon previous scholarship regarding World War II and memory (Beidler, 1998; Wood, 2006; Bodnar, 2010; Ramsay, 2015), this dissertation analyzes key works including Saving Private Ryan (1998), The Greatest Generation (1998), The Thin Red Line (1998), Medal of Honor (1999), Band of Brothers (2001), Call of Duty (2003), and The Pacific (2010) in order to better understand the version of World War II promulgated by Stephen E.

    The The night of 6 December 1943 in southeastern North Carolina was cold with a nearly-full moon. Towns in Moore, Hoke, Scotland and Richmond counties were blacked out by Army request. Road networks from Knollwood Cameron to Rockingham, Eastwood to Laurinburg, West End to Raeford and Hamlet to Hoffman had been closed to all civilian traffic from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Approaching from the east, a large armada of C-47 Maneuver: aircraft carrying paratroopers or towing gliders was nearing the Knollwood Army Auxiliary Airfield near Pinehurst, NC. Aboard one glider was Major (MAJ) The Ultimate Robert L. Johnson, six enlisted glider artillerymen and a jeep from the 675th Glider Field Artillery (GFA) Battalion of the 11th Airborne Division. They were part of the Airborne Test airborne invasion force launched to capture Knollwood Airfield. In the early morning hours of 7 December By Eugene G. Piasecki 1943, MAJ Johnson’s glider pilot released the tow line and began the descent toward his landing zone along N.C. Route 5 between Aberdeen and Pinehurst, NC.1 After hitting the landing zone, the glider skimmed across a field hitting a farmhouse that sheared off its left wing. It stopped and settled “tail-up”. No one was injured in the farmhouse or the glider. MAJ Johnson and the soldiers scrambled out to get the tail down, lifted up the nose compartment and freed the jeep. This accomplished, Johnson drove off to locate the battalion’s twelve 75mm pack howitzers and crews. This glider landing during the Knollwood Maneuver was typical for the “Blue” Force elements.
