  • The Devon Trafalgar Roll
    THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL Extracted from the Ayshford Complete Trafalgar Roll with the kind permission of Pamela and Derek Ayshford. Further details are available at www.ageofnelson.org/ Presented by the Exeter Flotilla on the occasion of the Trafalgar Day Service held on the bicentenary of the battle. INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL On the 19th October 1805 the combined fleet of France and Spain was observed to be sailing from Cadiz. News that the enemy fleet was at sea was relayed to the Commander in Chief of the British fleet, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson, and to intercept it his fleet sailed for the Straits of Gibraltar. On the eve of battle Nelson prayed: - May the great God, whom I worship, grant my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to him that made me, and may his blessings alight my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. When the fleets met off Cape Trafalgar on the morning of the 21st the British formed two columns and, in light westerly airs, set an easterly course to close. The van was led by Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and the rear column by Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood’s flagship HMS Royal Sovereign. The combined fleet of 33 sail of the line, commanded by Admiral Villeneuve in Bucentaure, wore round and reached back to the north.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 2 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CHAPTER SEVEN The ‘slum mentality’ of the evacuee – the myth challenged This Chapter firstly assesses Devon’s pre-war school medical service. Discussion then focuses on four crucial health issues which became problematic during evacuation, namely dirty habits, pediculosis (head lice), enuresis (bedwetting) and skin infections. The development of hostels for evacuees deemed unsuitable for billeting on arrival is also discussed. These health issues generated much adverse publicity, particularly during the first evacuation wave, and led to the persistent myth that evacuees were dirty, ill-trained and that they introduced pediculosis and skin infections into reception areas. Local documentary archive material is used to examine Devon’s experience and support the argument that generalised and exaggerated adverse publicity fostered a false stereotype. The largest number of evacuee children came to Devon in 1940 at a time when medical checks were improved, both in evacuation and reception areas. In addition the County already had an established degree of pediculosis and skin infections before evacuation. No evidence of a public or official outcry has been found locally to compare with reports emanating from some reception areas, particularly those areas receiving children from northern evacuation areas such as Merseyside.1 This variance with the ‘received’ version of events highlights the importance of local research. 1 The percentage of Merseyside children suffering from pediculosis, who were evacuated to areas such as Herefordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire, was between 22-50% compared with children from London where the percentage ranged from 8-35%.
