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. -

Electronic Communications Code Responses 1-39
Page 1 of 2 Consultation response 1 of 130 E-mail Message From: Matt Restall Cc: Sent: 04/07/2012 at 11:29 Received: 04/07/2012 at 11:27 Subject: Consultation Paper No 205 Dear James, Law Commission , Consultation Paper No 205 ,THE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS CODE , A Consultation Paper. I represent one of the largest firms in the UK acting for landlords on telecoms matters. We currently provide advice and assistance to thousands of landlords across the country. I am extremely concerned at the moment about the current misuse of Code Powers i.e. rights given to operators under The 1984 Telecommunications Act as amended by The Communications ACT 2003. We are now being presented with numerous cases where The Code is being used simply as a negotiation tactic by Operators to obtain a better deal in lease / agreement renewals of phone mast sites. I worked for for a number of years and Code Powers was not normally used (largely for PR reasons i.e. If Operators used the Code and Landlord’s knew how hard it was to get a possession order under the Code, no one in their right mind would let a phone mast operator on site). Times have now changed, Counter Notices under the Code are the norm, with operators knowing that Landlords have to commit a massive amount of money in legal fees (on average £20,000 +) to obtain a possession order under the Code to get them off site. Yes, there may be grounds for compensation but operators appear to be playing the system knowing Landlords have to pay legal fees upfront at risk, which is preposterous! Something needs to be done to stop this. -

Statues were put up in three cities in East Africa, commemorating, unnamed and unnumbered, Africans who had died on the British side in the East African campaign of World War One. by Michèle Barrett Sent Missing in Africa © Michèle Barrett 2020 1 Contents Page 2 Introduction 3 The IWGC in the 1920s 6 Implementation of Policy in Africa 18 Dar es Salaam 19 East Africa Carrier Corps Records 20 Lord Arthur Browne 24 Politics in the IWGC 26 Brief IWGC/CWGC Timeline Introduction The spring of 2017 saw the centenary of the founding of the Imperial War Graves Commission. Brought into being by royal charter, and headed by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), the Imperial War Graves Commission took a controversial stand for equal treatment of men of different military ranks and social classes. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission, as it has been called since 1960, has subsequently told its own story to make us believe that it treated everyone equally. It did not. The appearance of equality that we see in the cemeteries and memorials of the Western Front is restricted to that front. Outside Europe, no such principle of equality was followed. In Africa, where the first and last shots of the First World War were fired, a policy of extreme discrimination applied. White soldiers were buried in what were called “white graves”, which have been maintained in perpetuity, often in beautiful cemeteries. -

Cremation and Christianity: English Anglican and Roman Catholic Attitudes to Cremation Since 1885
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham Cremation and Christianity: English Anglican and Roman Catholic attitudes to cremation since 1885 Frances Knight Department of Theology and Religious Studies University of Nottingham, UK [email protected] Postal address: School of Humanities, University of Nottingham University Park Nottingham NG7 2RD Telephone: 0115 84 67778 1 Abstract: (175words) Britain was the first modern European country to adopt the widespread practice of cremation, and by 2010, it took place in around three-quarters of all funerals. Although the clergy had ceased to be the exclusive custodians of funeral ritual, their views and example remained highly significant in conveying approval, or disapproval, of cremation to their religious constituencies. This article explores attitudes to cremation among the English Anglican and Roman Catholic leadership in the twentieth-century. In the first half of the century, a number of high profile Anglican bishops promoted cremation by both teaching and example. The Roman Catholic Church, however, remained opposed to the practice, which it equated with atheism and inhumanity. Although the Catholic position began to soften from the 1960s, it is evident that some reticence about cremation remains. The different approaches to cremation illuminate a subtle religious and cultural fault line between the two ecclesial communities which has hitherto been little explored. The article highlights the role of the Cremation Society of Great Britain in working with members of both Churches to normalise cremation. Key words: Cremation, Christianity, England, Twentieth century, Church of England, Anglican, Roman Catholicism.
