Reginald James Morry's Memoirs of WWII
THE MORRY FAMILY WEBSITE -- HTTP://WEB.NCF.CA/fr307/ World War II Memoirs of Reginald James Morry Including an eyewitness account of the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. Reginald James Morry 10/6/2007 Edited by C. J. Morry Following long standing Newfoundland maritime tradition, when hostilities broke out at the beginning of WWII, Reginald James Morry chose to serve in the “Senior Service”, the Royal Navy. This is his personal account of those momentous years, including one of the most crucial naval battles of the war, the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. © Reginald James Morry; Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; 2007 World War II Memoirs of Reginald James Morry (then Able Seaman R. Morry P/SSX 31753) Including an eyewitness account of the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. Newfoundland’s Military Legacy Newfoundland participated in both World Wars. Even though the province is small, it produced a famous Regiment of Infantry that fought in Gallipolis and from there to France. They lost quite a few men in Turkey and were decimated twice in France, once in Beaumont Hamel and again at Arras and other areas on the Somme. Total casualties (fatal) were 1305, and at sea 179 lost their lives. Of those that returned, many died of wounds, stress, and worn out hearts. They were given the title “Royal” for their role in the defence of Masnieres (the Battle for Cambrai) by King George VI, the reigning Monarch of the time. World War II is practically dead history, especially since some anti-Royals disbanded the regiment in 2002, as it's territorial section, according to the present army regime in HQ Ottawa, did not measure up!! During WWII the British changed the regiment over to Artillery so they became known as The Royal Newfoundland Light Artillery to lessen the chances of heavy losses. -

Vaz-de-Mello1 & M. Cupello1, 2 Abstract Discussed and illustrated are the type specimens of the nine species names established by REDTENBACHER (1868) for South American dung beetle taxa: Canthon auricollis, C. cyanopterus, C. fulgidus, C. lampro- deres, C. ornatus, C. puncticollis, C. quadripunctatus, Choeridium foveicolle, and C. platymerum. Lecto- types are designated for all of them, and the following taxonomic conclusions are presented: firstly, it was seen that the name Canthon auricollis was previously misapplied to a species taxon in the Canthon subge- nus Peltecanthon, whereas in fact it represents a species of the subgenus Canthon s.str., where it is trans- ferred to; a former junior synonym of it, C. splendidus SCHMIDT, 1922, is revalidated to name the species of the subgenus Peltecanthon called by former authors "C. -

Physical Anthropology of the Pacific – Michael Pietrusewsky
PHYSICAL (BIOLOGICAL) ANTHROPOLOGY – Physical Anthropology of the Pacific – Michael Pietrusewsky PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE PACIFIC Michael Pietrusewsky Department of Anthropology, University of Hawaii at Mānoa, Honolulu, 96822 U.S.A. Keywords: Physical anthropology, skeletal biology, bioarchaeology, paleopathology, craniology, biological distance, multivariate statistics, dental studies, genetic studies, Polynesian origins, Lapita skeletons Contents 1. Introduction 2. Pacific Islands: Geology, Prehistory and Linguistics 3. First Impressions/Early Paradigms (Table 1) 4. Pacific Relationships and Polynesian Origins (Table 2) 5. Health, Disease, and Lifestyle of Early Pacific Islanders (Table 3) 6. Regional Studies in Skeletal Biology 7. Conclusions and Future Prospects Acknowledgements Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary A brief summary of studies in physical anthropology and skeletal biology of the Pacific and Polynesia is presented. Commencing with early studies in physical anthropology in the mid-nineteenth century, which included studies of living as well as prehistoric inhabitants of the Pacific, this survey focuses mainly on two topics: What studies of skeletons from the region have revealed about 1) the initial peopling of the Pacific and the origins of the Polynesians and 2) the health and lifestyle of past Pacific Islanders and Polynesians. Despite the limited number of studies in the physical anthropology of the Pacific and issues surrounding repatriation, a significant amount of information about the past inhabitants of this region continues to emerge from work involving human skeletons. 1. Introduction This chapter summarizes previous work in physical anthropology and skeletal biology of the Pacific. Although evidence from other areas in physical anthropology (e.g., genetic and dental studies) is included, the major focus will be what studies of human skeletons and teeth reveal about the origins, health, and lifestyle of the indigenous inhabitants of the Pacific, particularly Polynesians. -

The irrepressible Mitchell constantly cast aspersions at his superiors, whose enthusiasm for airpower (and for Mitch- ell) was strictly limited. En route home, Mitchell told his fellow passengers on the Cunard liner Aquitania that “the General Staff knows as much about the air as a hog does about skating.” His comment was reported in the newspa- pers, of course.

The final outcome of the project, however, was the culmination of the support of many individuals and organisations during the programme. In particular, thanks are due to Deanna Groom (Maritime Fife and the NMRS Maritime Record Enhancement Project, University of St Andrews) and Olwyn Owen (Historic Scotland). During diving operations the assistance of Martin Dean, Mark Lawrence and Steve Liscoe (Archaeological Diving Unit), Dave Burden (skipper MV Simitar) and the staff and students of the University Dive Unit. Dr Larry Meyers (Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, University of New Hampshire) for allowing his staff time to take part in the 2001 field season. In particular, Dr Brian Calder and Richard Lear (RESON UK) for their efforts during the 2001 fieldwork and subsequent data analysis proved invaluably. Dougall Campbell for his recollections and archive material from his salvage operations.

Dina Gusejnova illustrates how a supranational European mentality was forged from depleted imperial identities. In the revolutions of 1917–1920, the power of the Hohenzollern, Habsburg, and Romanoff dynasties over their subjects expired. Even though Germany lost its credit as a world power twice in that century, in the global cultural memory, the old Germanic families remained associated with the idea of Europe in areas reaching from Mexico to the Baltic region and India. Gusejnova’s book sheds light on a group of German-speaking intellectuals of aristocratic origin who became pioneers of Europe’s future regeneration. In the minds of transnational elites, the continent’s future horizons retained the con- tours of phantom empires.

University Microfilms
INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation w s s produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marki!^ or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document phorographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was posable to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting tiiru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin phoroing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. -

Page 2 of 12 Biographical Note This collection is evidence of the role journalism and photography took during the Spanish-American War. The war lasted from April to July of 1898 and arose as a response to the Cuban rebellion against Spanish rule. American involvement in the conflict was precipitated by the destruction of the USS Maine, on February 15, 1898 from an explosion that killed around three-quarters of the Maine’s crew.
