World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District
WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given. -

The Mediaeval Paving Tiles of the Alton Area of N. E. Hampshire
PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 289 THE MEDIAEVAL PAVING TILES OF THE ALTON AREA OF N.E. HAMPSHIRE. By THE REV. G. E. C. KNAPP. HE interest of the writer in the study of Mediaeval Paving Tiles was aroused by the paper on the Tiles of Titchfield TAbbey in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Archaeological Society, Vol. XVII, Part I, and by Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Green, without whose help and encouragement the writer would not have embarked on the task of recording the tiles found in this part of the County, and to whom any value which the paper may have is due. The writer found ready assistance in this local research in a group of young people in whom, as part of their preparation for Confirmation, he was trying to arouse an interest in the inheritance which is ours in our ancient churches. The writer would record his appreciation of the help of the Misses Diana and Jennifer French, who traced many of the tiles and prepared the drawings for the illustration of this paper. Starting with our own church at Hartley Mauditt, the tiles there were recorded, and then, going further afield, Selborne was the objective. But the interest and enthusiasm of the young tile hunters was heightened by the discovery of further tiles in the churches of Faringdon and Binsted, which, Dr. Green assured us, had not been recorded in any of the books or reports on the Church treasures of Hampshire. The following churches in the Alton area have been inspected, those containing mediaeval tiles being shown in block letters : New Alresford, Old Alresford, ALTON ST. -

For the benefit of the un-indoctrinated, a Janeite is a fan of English author Jane Austen who wrote six novels before her untimely death at age Or both? I'm reading Neurotribes which I got from NetGalley - it's very good, although I found the section on eugenics hard to read as it should be and as I should do, obviously. Amy has agreed to join us for the meeting, which is so wonderful! Her words in her last chapter sum this up nicely. The deck says something meaningful in return. Along the way, Yaffe meets a Florida lawyer with a byzantine theory about hidden subtexts in the novels, a writer of Austen fan fiction who found her own Mr. If you follow or post on any of those, you may be interested in reading about their founders and the history of those sites. And the 'fandom' not sure if that is the right word , meaning people who are more interested in repetitions: rehashing the stories over and over and appreciating what stays the same. It's in the unknown pile at the moment on the disambig page. Yaffe tries, but even she knows that is an impossible task. People who have only seen the movies and series but never read the books now consider themselves Janeites.
