Your Virtual Visit - 63 to the Australian Army Museum of Western Australia
YOUR VIRTUAL VISIT - 63 TO THE AUSTRALIAN ARMY MUSEUM OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA Throughout 2021, the Virtual Visit series will be continuing to present interesting features from the collection and their background stories. The Australian Army Museum of Western Australia is now open four days per week, Wednesday through Friday plus Sunday. Current COVID19 protocols including contact tracing will apply. National Memories of the Somme Beaumont Hamel, Delville Wood, Helen’s Tower, Thiepval An earlier Virtual Visit (VV61) focussed on the Australian remembrance of the Somme battles of July – November 1916. Other countries within the British Empire suffered similar trauma as national casualties mounted. They too chose to commemorate their sacrifice through evocative national memorials on the Somme battlefield. Newfoundland Regiment - Beaumont Hamel During the First World War, Newfoundland was a largely rural Dominion of the British Empire with a population of 240,000 people, and not yet part of Canada. In August 1914, Newfoundland recruited a battalion for service with the British Army. In a situation reminiscent of the khaki shortage facing the first WA Contingent to the Boer War, recruits in the Regiment were nicknamed the "Blue Puttees" due to the unusual colour of the puttees, chosen to give the Newfoundland Regiment a unique look and due to the unavailability of woollen khakis on the island. On 20 September 1915, the Regiment landed at Suvla Bay on the Gallipoli peninsula. At that stage of the campaign, the Newfoundland Regiment faced snipers, artillery fire and severe cold, as well as the trench warfare hazards of cholera, dysentery, typhus, gangrene and trench foot.

Of Palaces, Hunts, and Pork Roast: Deciphering the Last Chapters of the Capitulary of Quierzy (a. 877) Martin Gravel Politics depends on personal contacts.1 This is true in today’s world, and it was certainly true in early medieval states. Even in the Carolingian empire, the larg- est Western polity of the period, power depended on relations built on personal contacts.2 In an effort to nurture such necessary relationships, the sovereign moved with his court, within a network of important political “communication centres”;3 in the ninth century, the foremost among these were his palaces, along with certain cities and religious sanctuaries. And thus, in contemporaneous sources, the Latin term palatium often designates not merely a royal residence but the king’s entourage, through a metonymic displacement that shows the importance of palatial grounds in * I would like to thank my fellow panelists at the International Medieval Congress (Leeds, 2011): Stuart Airlie, Alexandra Beauchamp, and Aurélien Le Coq, as well as our session organizer Jens Schneider. This paper has greatly benefited from the good counsel of Jennifer R. Davis, Eduard Frunzeanu, Alban Gautier, Maxime L’Héritier, and Jonathan Wild. I am also indebted to Eric J. Goldberg, who was kind enough to read my draft and share insightful remarks. In the final stage, the precise reading by Florilegium’s anonymous referees has greatly improved this paper. 1 In this paper, the term politics will be used in accordance with Baker’s definition, as rephrased by Stofferahn: “politics, broadly construed, is the activity through which individuals and groups in any society articulate, negotiate, implement, and enforce the competing claims they make upon one another”; Stofferahn, “Resonance and Discord,” 9.

Tour Sheets Final04-05
Great War Battlefields Study Tour Briefing Notes & Activity Sheets Students Name briefing notes one Introduction The First World War or Great War was a truly terrible conflict. Ignored for many years by schools, the advent of the National Curriculum and the GCSE system reignited interest in the period. Now, thousands of pupils across the United Kingdom study the 1914-18 era and many pupils visit the battlefield sites in Belgium and France. Redevelopment and urban spread are slowly covering up these historic sites. The Mons battlefields disappeared many years ago, very little remains on the Ypres Salient and now even the Somme sites are under the threat of redevelopment. In 25 years time it is difficult to predict how much of what you see over the next few days will remain. The consequences of the Great War are still being felt today, in particular in such trouble spots as the Middle East, Northern Ireland and Bosnia.Many commentators in 1919 believed that the so-called war to end all wars was nothing of the sort and would inevitably lead to another conflict. So it did, in 1939. You will see the impact the war had on a local and personal level. Communities such as Grimsby, Hull, Accrington, Barnsley and Bradford felt the impact of war particularly sharply as their Pals or Chums Battalions were cut to pieces in minutes during the Battle of the Somme. We will be focusing on the impact on an even smaller community, our school. We will do this not so as to glorify war or the part oldmillhillians played in it but so as to use these men’s experiences to connect with events on the Western Front.

Le Village De Braye-En-Laonnois
Hauts-de-France, Aisne Braye-en-Laonnois Le village de Braye-en-Laonnois Références du dossier Numéro de dossier : IA02001698 Date de l'enquête initiale : 2003 Date(s) de rédaction : 2003 Cadre de l'étude : patrimoine de la Reconstruction Chemin des Dames Degré d'étude : étudié Désignation Dénomination : village Compléments de localisation Milieu d'implantation : en village Références cadastrales : Historique Le village, dont le patronage est dédié à la Vierge, est connu dans les textes sous le vocable Braium dès 1136, et Bray-en- Laonnois dès 1326. En 1153, Barthélemy de Joux, quarantième évêque de Laon, donna aux chevaliers du Temple le village de Braye où ils établirent une maison de leur ordre. Une ferme étape fut alors construite afin de surveiller les grandes voies. En 1307, Philippe le Bel ayant fait arrêter les Templiers et confisquer leurs biens, Braye passa aux mains du chapitre de la cathédrale de Laon, qui le conserva jusqu´à la Révolution. D'après la tradition orale, un château aurait été commandé en 1595 par Henri IV qui l'aurait offert à Gabrielle d'Estrées. Situé à l'entrée du village en venant d'Ostel, le logis en pierre était accessible par un portail cintré muni d'une tourelle en encorbellement. Une tour hexagonale permettait l'accès à l'étage carré. Une reproduction est consultable en annexe. Comme toutes les communes du Chemin des Dames, une partie du village fut incendiée par les armées russes en 1814 dès le 6 mars alors que les habitants s'étaient réfugiés dans les carrières. Napoléon coucha dans un des vendangeoirs du village le 7 mars 1814 après la bataille de Craonne.
