We were sorry to see them go since all four had contributed so much to our lives on board during those long days at sea. We found time to complete our shopping lists, to see if La Linea and Algeciras were still the same, to visit our friends in the Home Fleet who were there in force and to play them at various games out of working hours. 70 71 The Duke of Edinburgh's visit was informal and the Yacht therefore wore the union flag of an Admiral of the Fleet at the main instead of his Royal Highness's H.M.

The Yacht, with her stabilisers out, rode the weather very comfortably but the escorting destroyers, Chieftan, Chevron and Chaplet had rather a rough time. Our only complaint was that the spray took the shine off our newly polished paint. We sighted the entrance to the Rio Sando during the morning watch on Saturday and as we crossed over there was very little wind and the day promised to be fine. Keeping close to the rugged hillside on the port hand, to avoid the sandbanks to starboard, we passed a headland with a formidable looking fort, at the back of which was built a large hospital for those suffering from bone tuberculosis.

  • Ganization (Which Was Originally Composed of Many Ex-Horse Caval- Rymen, When That Organization Was Disestablished in the Early 1940’S)
    ganization (which was originally composed of many ex-horse caval- rymen, when that organization was disestablished in the early 1940’s). 4The only troops allowed in Italy were the Cohorts of the Praetor- ian Guard, who guarded the person of the Emperor. The fact that gold is outranked by silver is said to have come from the fact that the legionnaire’s helmet was made of brass (gold colored) while the Praetorian Guard wore silvered helmets. The Guard re- ceived higher pay and more privileges than the Legions and ul- timately became the real power in Rome, dispossessing and appoint- ing Emperors at will. They fought to the last man for their Em- peror Maxentius against Constantine I at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge (312 A. D.). Gibbon reported that their bodies were for- med "in ranks where they stood" indicating that the Guard never gave an inch, but died rather than retreated. E. Gibbon, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, (New York; Laurel and Dell Pu~. Co., 1963), pp. 202-203, 212. SThe Commander of the Legion (Legatus Legionis) had the power of life and death over his soldiers. The Centurions carried a vine stick (vitius) as a symbol of their authority and used it to ad- minister beatings to the legionnaires. A unit that was disgraced might be decimated, that is, every tenth man killed by his fellow soldiers to expiate the unit’s offenses. Units themselves were given the death penalty (damnatio memoriae); e.g., Emperor Ves- pasian had the XV Legion Primigenia struck from the rolls be- cause of their part in Civilitus’s mutiny.

Trachtman 385 AGAINST THE DILUTION OF A CHILD'S VOICE IN COURT' Melissa L. Breger Children's voices have been diluted in the court system, as the dominant paradigm in children's legal theory has too often overlooked the voices of our youth. The dilution of children's voices in the courtroom is not only disempowering and disenfranchising to children, but is also misguided. In the United States, there is no uniform standard for the role of the child's attorney. Instead there are multiple models of lawyering for children throughout the states. This Article first examines the currently existing American child attorney paradigms through the lens of international norms and the written ideals of the CRC treaty, arguing that without the child's right to be heard codified into American law, the United States is not consonant with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (the "CRC"), Article 12.

Mr Dundas, thank you very much for agreeing to take part in this Commonwealth Oral Histories project. CD: It’s a pleasure. SO: I wonder, please, if you could begin by reflecting on my request to add additional information and detail to your autobiography, My Wonderful World of Elections [Bloomington: AuthorHouse, 2011]. CD: Yes, indeed. I tried to look a little bit behind the scenes by relating some of the more interesting incidents that occurred during my stay at the Commonwealth Secretariat. I did a lot of diplomatic and quasi-diplomatic missions on behalf of two Secretaries General – Sir Sonny Ramphal and Chief Emeka Anyaoku. One of the areas that I was asked to assist the Secretary General with was, for instance, Grenada. I was the Secretariat’s liaison person, as it were, between the various authorities in Grenada after the incident and the Secretariat, and I might have mentioned, for instance, my search for someone to head the interim government.
