World War One Enlistments, L&A (c) The Lennox and Addington Historical Society, 2007 Lennox and Addington County Those Who Served in the Great War (1914-1918) – Surnames Beginning with A-K When God forgets to send the dawn and birds no longer wing. Our own beloved warriors brave we'll cease remembering. Amy Ratz, 1943 - from The Weese Scrapbook This list is based on the information gathered by W.S. Herrington and Rev. A.J. Wilson in 1920 and 1921 from returning veterans, their families and friends. Some of this information was subsequently published by the Lennox and Addington Historical Society as The War Work of the County of Lennox and Addington (1922). However, the information you will find here is not always the same as you will find in the book. For consistency, some entries are abbreviated here, while others have been enhanced by information available now which was not available then. Also, this list includes some names submitted by local residents who were rejected for War Work as not having long-term connection with Lennox and Addington. We have chosen to include them. Researchers are encouraged to refer to the Attestation Papers on the National Library and Archives of Canada website for more information. You will find the serial numbers helpful in using this source. (c) The Lennox and Addington Historical Society, 2007 Enlisted Personnel, World War One - A Abrams, Thomas: Born Bellrock.

  • Southampton's Migrant Past
    SOUTHAMPTON’S MIGRANT PAST A WALKING TOUR This pamphlet and the walking tour are to introduce you to the rich history of Southampton’s migrant past. Southampton, even from prehistory, has been shaped by migration – both through invasion (Romans, Saxon, Viking and Norman) and by refugees and others who have chosen to come or have been sent here, making it the exciting cosmopolitan city it is today. Much of this migrant past is hidden but can still be found. This is typified by the cover illustration – the wonderful automata Bathers in Southampton Water by Sam Smith. Sam, the son of a steamship captain, grew up in Southampton and used to watch the liners go by, impressed as a lad only by the number and size of their funnels. Later in life after visiting Ellis Island in New York he realised that they were vessels carrying thousands of ordinary migrants. In this work, Sam Smith tells the user of this model that in the bowels of the ship ‘you may espy the Steerage Passengers’. These, he believed, were ‘the real people’. Similarly this walking tour will make ‘the invisible, visible’ so that the migrant contribution can be fully appreciated - not only for those who live here but also to visitors to Southampton. Southampton, past and present, is a place of movement and settlement. This tour is designed to show that its dynamism is built on migration. We hope you enjoy exploring these exciting sites which will concentrate on the historic quarter and the old dock area. A separate tour of the old Cemetery - over a mile to the north - is also provided, revealing again the fascinating and unique histories of migrant Southampton.

  • Charles William Bullock CMG
    Charles William Bullock CMG 22 July 1880 – 1 November 1952 Gerry van Tonder 1 Fact File: Charles W. Bullock CMG Surname: BULLOCK First names: Charles William Date of Birth: 22 July 1880 Place of Birth: Morpeth, Northumberland, England Personal features: 5’7” in height Nationality: British Religion: Church of England Status: Married to Margaret Theresa Bullock (née Sanders) b. 1885; two children, daughters Shirley and Elizabeth Date of Death: 1 November 1952 Place of Death: Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia Occupation at time of death: Retired civil servant (Secretary for Native Affairs, Southern Rhodesia) Buried: Salisbury Cemetery 2 The Early Years Charles was born on 22 July 1880 at ‘Spring Gardens’, Bullers Green, Morpeth, Northumberland, the home of his parents, William and Isabella (a former Scottish school mistress). He was their fourth child. Northumberland Birth Register entry under Bullock Certified copy of Charles Bullock’s birth certificate Charles was first ‘counted’ in the 1881 census when he was eight months old. He had three siblings at that time: Eleanor (6), Herbert (4), and Elizabeth (2). At the time of the census, they were staying at Bolland School, Bullers Green Parish, where William, the father, was a teacher. 3 1881 Census It is interesting to note that they had a house servant, 19-year-old Mary Leathard, so William Bullock, as a headmaster, would have been relatively well off. He was certainly a very respected member of the community. Built in 1860, the school was paid for by Mrs Bolland, the widow of a Morpeth curate. It was built as a day industrial school for the ‘half- neglected children on the north side of Newgate Street’.

    ARIAIL FAMILY CEMETERY SURVEYS WHAT IS A CEMETERY? Lives are commemorated Deaths are recorded Families are reunited Memories are made tangible And love is undisguised. Communities accord respect Families bestow reverance Historians seek information and Our heritage is thereby enriched. Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are cased in bronze to pay warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life, not the death, of a loved one. The cemetery is homeland for memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living. A cemetery is a history of people -- a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering -- A L W A Y S!

We are also planning a major publicity event to celebrate the 100th anniversary and this will probably take place in late summer (we are in the early stages of planning this at the time of writing). We are very pleased to announce that our membership topped 170, and several new people began to be involved in society activities in 2007. However, 2007 was much quieter year than 2006 with regard to major developments. Most of the committee continued in their roles, although we were delighted to gain Darren Naish as an ordinary member of the committee. Sadly, however, we decided to dissolve the Southampton Wildlife Link (see the separate report). 2007 was a very important year with regard to information technology. A new website was successfully run by Paul Winter, and there is little doubt that this contributed greatly to our publicity.

  • Southampton's Maritime Memorial
    Southampton’s Maritime Memorials History reveals that when the Roman army left Britain in 407AD they abandoned the town they had built, some 300 years before, on a bend in the River Itchen adjoining today’s Bitterne. It was called Clausentum and it was to be some 300 years before the Saxons established a new town in the area, albeit not quite on the same site. The new town was called Hamtun and it was centred in today’s St.Mary’s area –close to the waterfront. Understandably, given its geographical position it developed as an important sea port and despite the close if unwelcome attention of marauding Danes it flourished for three centuries. Hamtun declined in 1000AD and the population dispersed throughout the surrounding countryside. Many reasons have been given for this downturn but the most persistent one is – the river Itchen silted up and seaborne trade ceased. Unfortunately, my historical references do not reveal how the silt was dissipated but, dissipated it was (probably by the natural processes of tidal flow) and by the 12th century Hamtun was once again a thriving port to be supplemented a century later by the establishment of a shipbuilding industry.
