  • British 8Th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-1918
    Centre for First World War Studies British 8th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-18 by Alun Miles THOMAS Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law January 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Recent years have seen an increasingly sophisticated debate take place with regard to the armies on the Western Front during the Great War. Some argue that the British and Imperial armies underwent a ‘learning curve’ coupled with an increasingly lavish supply of munitions, which meant that during the last three months of fighting the BEF was able to defeat the German Army as its ability to conduct operations was faster than the enemy’s ability to react. This thesis argues that 8th Division, a war-raised formation made up of units recalled from overseas, became a much more effective and sophisticated organisation by the war’s end. It further argues that the formation did not use one solution to problems but adopted a sophisticated approach dependent on the tactical situation.

This issue contains two most interesting articles - from Martin Middlebrook about the workings of a VAD hospital and Roberta Ashworth’s Trinder family researches. We also have the last part of the Ebrington School and Reverend Hornby’s note book story by Margaret Fisher and Pearl Mitchell and some useful correspondence and queries. Thank you all once again for sending your articles for Notes & Queries and a special thank you to Jill Wilson, who proof checks my drafts and is always full of good suggestions.

Jolly from Lincolnshire, asked if we knew of his grandfather, George ‘Spoe’ Fletcher, a local poacher in the 1930s and 1940s? He told us that ‘Spoe’ allegedly sold rabbits at 2p each from a bicycle around Campden and is believed to be buried in the small graveyard on the Paxford Road out of Blockley.

  • Parish Magazine October 2018
    The Pilgrim News Issue 17 – OCTOBER – NOVember 2018 Free Magazine Festival of Remembrance Programme Pages 9 & 10 Revd. Alyson Buxton writes . Dear Friends, This year we remember and commemorate the Centenary of The Great War. Let us go back for one moment to the first ever two minutes silence as reported by the Manchester Guardian on the 12th of November in 1919: The first stroke of eleven produced a magical effect. The tram cars glided into stillness, motors ceased to cough and fume, and stopped dead, and the mighty-limbed dray horses hunched back upon their loads and stopped also, seeming to do it of their own volition. Someone took off his hat, and with a nervous hesitancy the rest of the men bowed their heads also. Here and there an old soldier could be detected slipping unconsciously into the posture of 'attention'. An elderly woman, not far away, wiped her eyes, and the man beside her looked white and stern. Everyone stood very still ... The hush deepened. It had spread over the whole city and become so pronounced as to impress one with a sense of audibility. It was a silence which was almost pain ... And the spirit of memory brooded over it all. During this season of ‘Remembrance’, and throughout our Festival of Remembrance, we are not debating the whys and wherefores of war. We are quite simply standing shoulder to shoulder in commitment, honour and companionship with everyone who has lost their lives in the service of their country, as well as standing in solidarity and empathy with the families who have suffered this loss.

Prospect theory posits that the decision maker’s reference point determines the domain in which he makes a decision. If the domain is one of losses, the decision maker will tend to be risk seeking, if gains, then he will be risk averse. The author proposes that if prospect theory’s propositions are correct, then it may be possible for the decision maker, by assessing his own domain, to make better informed decisions.
