Abolofia, Cohanim A promising new takes the reins win Hungate Awards remineralizing product Dear Fellow Alumni: As graduates of the University of Washington School of Dentistry, we should be proud of the outstanding education that we received. Our School continues to have an impressive reputation – currently ranked fourth in the United States and 14th in the world. However, the School faces many challenges. And to maintain its tradition of excellence, it urgently needs support from all of us. The UW Dental Alumni Association is always looking for ways to support and strengthen the School of Dentistry. In the summer of 2017, we began our Dental Alumni Class Challenge. The Class Challenge creates a Dental Alumni Endowed Faculty Fund for Excellence. All alumni are being asked to contribute to this permanent fund, which will provide faculty fellowships throughout the School, with an emphasis on supporting junior faculty. Funding for faculty is a particularly urgent need. In the last four years, the School has moved to a year-round curriculum to accelerate learning and provide more clinical experiences for students. This new curriculum helps keep our School on the cutting edge, but it creates tremendous strain for faculty in an environment of limited state funding and research support. In addition, budget cuts have placed even more pressure on our faculty. This is our association’s third Class Challenge.

    The Naval Historical Society of Australia Inc. MYSTERY SHIPS OF WORLD WAR I HMS HYDERABAD M K Horsfall MONOGRAPH 171 Mystery Ships of World War I - HMS HYDERABAD M K Horsfall Monograph No. 171 BRITISH MYSTERY SHIPS OF WWI PREFACE I always felt honoured and fascinated by my maternal Grandfather, George Herbert Fluke’s, somewhat unusual life. Old enough to see Louis Bleriot land his aircraft in Britain on the first flight across the channel, attending the same school as Charlie Chaplin (although Chaplin was older) and as he moved into adulthood, he began his military career, firstly belonging to a London regiment of the British Territorials1 achieving the rank of Lance Corporal, then joining the Royal Navy as a regular in early 1914 and trained as a Cook, achieving the Petty Officer rank of Cook’s Mate. During WWI the Minesweeper HMS RODEAN he was serving on was sunk tied up alongside in Gibraltar Harbour by a Destroyer which had dragged its anchor during a storm. He then served on another Minesweeper HMS WHITBY ABBEY2 which was heavily engaged in the Gallipoli Campaign where his ship was sunk by Turkish shell fire from the shore. He then moved on to the Mystery Ship HMS HYDERABAD, about which a large part of this article is devoted. After WWI he served on HMS MEDWAY a destroyer which had been converted to survey work. The two sinkings he had received led to lung problems and his honourable discharge on medical ground. He was advised by his doctors to seek a drier climate than England and so emigrated to Australia with his family in 1926.
