The Society wished to encourage members and others to investigate and write about those affected by the war – not only those lost – to produce a special publication, and also to record as many local war memorials as possible and put onto the Society's website details of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The project has been ably led by Celia Parton who has encouraged many to write their stories for this special publication, and has persuaded others to help record local war memorials and to investigate the service records of those named. Her husband John, has edited the works to produce this publication. The society's project officer, Carole Eales, and webmaster, Ian Shuter, continue to add material to the website: if you can help with local memorials, please get in touch. We are proud to put the following stories into print as a permanent record. We are also delighted to be able to provide this special publication to all members free of charge. Additional copies will be available for purchase via the online NNWFHS shop. Finally, on behalf of all NNWFHS members I thank Celia and John for their wonderful effort to bring everything together for you to read. Jacqui Simkins Chairman Introduction Stories from the Great War The stories in this book have been contributed by members of Nuneaton and North Warwickshire Family History Society and by other individuals within North Warwickshire. Most of them relate to soldiers, airmen and sailors from the North Warwickshire area, but some, contributed by members, relate to ancestors outside of Warwickshire. The contents are in no particular order. Some people were in at the onset of hostilities. Some joined up later in the conflict. Most were killed in action, but some survived with physical and emotional scars that remained with them for the rest of their lives. No one of their individual sacrifices is any more or less worthy than any other. They are all owed an immense debt of gratitude, and for this reason they have not been listed in any particular order.

    Ethical Record The Proceedings of the South Place Ethical Society Vol. 107 No. 1 £1.50 Jan-Feb, 2002 THE GENOCIDAL PRIMATE - A NOTE ON HOLOCAUST DAY When one sees how violent mankind has been, both to itself and to other species, it appears that, of the contemporary primate species, we have more in common with the spiteful meat-eating chimp than with the placid, vegetarian gorilla or the recently discovered, furiously promiscuous bonobo chimp. Our ancestors probably wiped out the Neanderthals in the course of their territorial disputes and with the final triumph of homo 'sapiens', rationalisations for genocide began to be invented (see the terrible 1 Sam. 15.3). Science tells us that human behaviour is the outcome of influences working throughout life on a plastic, gene-filled embryo. Now humanists are frequently expected, mistakenly in my view, to have faith in the natural goodness and inevitable progress of mankind. It would be more accurate however to believe in neither goodness nor evil as innate, embodied qualities. To be a humanist, it is sufficient to realise that we are each bound to justify our actions ourselves and, in strict logic, cannot defer our morality to any authority, real or imagined. The complicity of religious authorities in permitting agents of the Nazi genocidal machine to bear the 'Gott mit uns' (God is with Us) badge should be seen as an indelible blot on the ecclesiastical record. Death- camp inmates did well to ask 'Where is our God?' as their co-religionists choked in their Zyklon B 'showers'. To preserve the sentimental notion of a just God, some 'holocaust theologians' even stoop to blaming the victims.

  • Chapter VIII Witchcraft As Ma/Efice: Witchcraft Case Studies, the Third Phase of the Welsh Antidote to Witchcraft
    251. Chapter VIII Witchcraft as Ma/efice: Witchcraft Case Studies, The Third Phase of The Welsh Antidote to Witchcraft. Witchcraft as rna/efice cases were concerned specifically with the practice of witchcraft, cases in which a woman was brought to court charged with being a witch, accused of practising rna/efice or premeditated harm. The woman was not bringing a slander case against another. She herself was being brought to court by others who were accusing her of being a witch. Witchcraft as rna/efice cases in early modem Wales were completely different from those witchcraft as words cases lodged in the Courts of Great Sessions, even though they were often in the same county, at a similar time and heard before the same justices of the peace. The main purpose of this chapter is to present case studies of witchcraft as ma/efice trials from the various court circuits in Wales. Witchcraft as rna/efice cases in Wales reflect the general type of early modern witchcraft cases found in other areas of Britain, Europe and America, those with which witchcraft historiography is largely concerned. The few Welsh cases are the only cases where a woman was being accused of witchcraft practices. Given the profound belief system surrounding witches and witchcraft in early modern Wales, the minute number of these cases raises some interesting historical questions about attitudes to witches and ways of dealing with witchcraft. The records of the Courts of Great Sessions1 for Wales contain very few witchcraft as rna/efice cases, sometimes only one per county. The actual number, however, does not detract from the importance of these cases in providing a greater understanding of witchcraft typology for early modern Wales.

  • JULY 2017 the Third Battle of Ypres Was Launched on 31 July 1917 and Continued Until the Fall of Passchendaele Village on 6 November
    Newsletter Date Volume 1 Issue 1 www.britishlegion.be NEWSLETTER JULY 2017 The Third Battle of Ypres was launched on 31 July 1917 and continued until the fall of Passchendaele village on 6 November. The offensive resulted in gains for the Allies but, as always, what gains were made came at huge cost in human terms. This year’s commemorations marking the 100th anniversary of the Third Battle of Ypres will start on 30th July with a public event staged at the Market Square at Ieper after the Last Post Ceremony at the Commonwealth War Grave Commission’s (CWGC) Menin Gate Memorial.

O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold, Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, And win with them, the victor’s crown of gold, Alleluia! Alleluia! iv Author’s Note The Annual Assembly of the Congregational Union of England and Wales held in May 1965, decided by an overwhelming majority, to adopt a new constitution to take effect at the May 1966 Assembly. The new constitution altered the name of the old Union to The Congregational Church in England and Wales and adopted a new basis of faith. As neither the new denomination nor the new basis of faith was found to be acceptable to the members of the Independent Chapel, the Church Meeting of 12th July 1965, decided to withdraw from the Union and seek affiliation with the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches. This matter was carried through and the Church Meeting of 18th October following, was so advised. v Contents Chapter Introduction 1 1 Elizabethan background 3 2 The Commonwealth 8 3 Indulgence 17 4 Dagnall

Where the meaning is not compromised by adhering to the spelling, punctuation or grammar, no change has been made. Corrections or additional notes have been inserted within brackets or footnotes. Blanks appearing in the transcripts reflect blanks in the original. A bracketed question mark indicates that the word or words preceding it represent(s) a guess by me. The word 'illegible' or 'indecipherable' appearing in brackets indicates that at the time I made the transcription, I was unable to decipher the word or phrase in question. Only materials pertinent to the military service of the veteran and to contemporary events have been transcribed. Affidavits that provide additional information on these events are included and genealogical information is abstracted, while standard, 'boilerplate' affidavits and attestations related solely to the application, and later nineteenth and twentieth century research requests for information have been omitted. I use speech recognition software to make all my transcriptions. Such software misinterprets my southern accent with unfortunate regularity and my poor proofreading skills fail to catch all misinterpretations. Also, dates or numbers which the software treats as numerals rather than words are not corrected: for example, the software transcribes "the eighth of June one thousand eighty six" as "the 8th of June 1786."
