  • PUNISHING the CRIMINAL CORPSE, 1700-1840 Aggravated Forms of the Death Penalty in England
    palgrave historical studies in the criminal corpse and its afterlife PUNISHING THE CRIMINAL CORPSE, 1700-1840 Aggravated Forms of the Death Penalty in England Peter King Palgrave Historical Studies in the Criminal Corpse and its Afterlife Series Editors Owen Davies School of Humanities University of Hertfordshire Hatfield, UK Elizabeth T. Hurren School of Historical Studies University of Leicester Leicester, UK Sarah Tarlow History and Archaeology University of Leicester Leicester, UK This limited, finite series is based on the substantive outputs from a major, multi-disciplinary research project funded by the Wellcome Trust, inves- tigating the meanings, treatment, and uses of the criminal corpse in Britain. It is a vehicle for methodological and substantive advances in approaches to the wider history of the body. Focussing on the period between the late seventeenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries as a crucial period in the formation and transformation of beliefs about the body, the series explores how the criminal body had a prominent presence in popular culture as well as science, civic life and medico-legal activity. It is historically significant as the site of overlapping and sometimes contradictory understandings between scientific anatomy, criminal justice, popular medicine, and social geography.

  • Summer Edition 2019
    Summer Edition 2019 Foreword Brigadier G E Lowder MBE Chairman of Trustees and President of Tiie Regimental Association I hope that you are enjoying the summer, despite the very changeable weather. Many of the spring and summer events in our calendar have been impacted by torrential rain, high winds - or both, not least the service at the National Memorial Arboretum (NMA) on Wednesday 14 August to mark the 50th anniversary of the start of Operation BANNER in Northern Ireland. I am most grateful to Christopher Delacombe and the Southern Branch of The Association for representing us in good numbers at this event, which is covered in more detail in this edition. Following previous services and commemorations at the N MA, including for Operation GRAN BY and the unveiling of The SCOTS Stone, a number of you have made the point that, apart from a small plaque at the stand of Scots Pines planted for The Royal Regiment of Scotland, The Royal Scots do not have their own memorial at the NMA.The Royal Scots who have fallen since the end of The Second World War are commemorated individually, or on campaign memorials at the N MA, but there is no Royal Scot memorial.The Regimental Trustees have considered what might be appropriate and taken advice on what has been done in recent years by The Royal Regiment of Scotland (the SCOTS Stone does include reference to all its antecedent Regiments, including The Royal Scots) and other antecedents, including The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and The Queen's Own Highlanders.There are a number of options: from stones to statues and memorials to murals.

  • Lloyds Banking Group
    Lloyds Banking Group Bank of Scotland War Memorial The Chairman (Lord Balfour of Burleigh) said… "…No fewer than 598 of our Clerical and Messenger Staff left us for service, and our friend Colonel Lord Henry Scott (whom we welcome back) has seen a long period of active service in France. Of the 598 who left for the war, I deeply regret to say that 82 lost their lives, and a very considerable number have been maimed and invalided. I hope it may be possible to place in the Bank a permanent memorial so that those who come after us may never forget the heroism and patriotism which inspired those connected with the Bank of Scotland during the great war. I am proud to report to you that the following military honours have been awarded to the members of our Staff, viz: - 13 Military Crosses including two Bars 1 Distinguished Flying Cross 2 Distinguished Conduct Medals 7 Military Medals 1 Meritorious Medal 3 Mentioned in Dispatches" (Bank of Scotland Minutes, 1 April 1919) “…We have, Gentlemen, in honoured remembrance of the names of 85 gallant members of our Staff who made the supreme sacrifice. It was your desire last year that some suitable and imperishable memento be placed in the Bank.
