We have particularly benefited from the opportunity to listen to the reflections of Pocklingtonians from across the years. As we move forward to our 500th anniversary celebrations in 2014, I was recently contacted by a lady from Canada in response to our first Pocklington 500 newsletter. She wrote that her husband, Jack Rowbotham (1944-51), who had died a few years ago in Ottawa always had fond memories of his school days at Pocklington and wrote about them for his sons and grandsons. The final part of his memoirs reflects both the challenging experiences that our former pupils have encountered whilst highlighting There have been a number of changes in the OP Dear Old Pocklingtonians, those from which they benefited: Office over the last 12 months starting with David’s semi-retirement in May last year and my appointment It has long been thought that the original statutes “Not so funny was the Headmaster at morning as the new OP Liaison Officer.

  • The Gallipolian Index
    THE GALLIPOLIAN INDEX Note for guidance on using the Index 1. The index was originally compiled in 2007 by Gallipoli Association member, Robert Pike, to whom the then Editor, David Saunders and his successors are greatly indebted. The original index was updated and significantly expanded by Foster Summerson when he edited the journal from 2008 - 2015, and more recently by myself. 2. The index does not aim to be a comprehensive guide to everything that has appeared in The Gallipolian over the past years. It is essentially an alphabetical listing, by subject area, of articles dealing with a range of 'Gallipoli related' topics. 3. Items within each subject area (e.g. Merchant Navy, Suvla etc.) are listed with the issue number in which they appeared. Thus, for example, an article that featured in issue No. 69 will be listed before one on the same or similar subject that appeared in issue No. 86. The only exceptions are in the case of Book Reviews, Obituaries and Poetry (see paragraph 5 below). Where articles encompass different subject areas, every effort has been made to record the article in each (e.g. a memoir written by a veteran of the campaign, will be listed both under 'Memories/ Reflections'; the unit in which he served; and often under the veteran's name). 4. County regiments afforded the title ‘Royal’ are listed thus: Berkshire Regiment, Royal. Other regiments and corps afforded that honour (e.g. Royal Fusiliers, Royal Irish Rifles etc.) are indexed under ‘R’ – ‘Royal …’. 5. Book Reviews (listed alphabetically by author), Obituaries (alphabetically by name of the deceased and sub-divided between Veterans and others) and Poetry (alphabetically by title) are contained in separate sections at the end of the main index.
