  • 'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
    ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum.

  • 'Feed the Troops on Victory': a Study of the Australian
    ‘FEED THE TROOPS ON VICTORY’: A STUDY OF THE AUSTRALIAN CORPS AND ITS OPERATIONS DURING AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 1918. RICHARD MONTAGU STOBO Thesis prepared in requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences University of New South Wales, Canberra June 2020 Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Stobo Given Name/s : Richard Montagu Abbreviation for degree as given in the : PhD University calendar Faculty : History School : Humanities and Social Sciences ‘Feed the Troops on Victory’: A Study of the Australian Corps Thesis Title : and its Operations During August and September 1918. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis examines reasons for the success of the Australian Corps in August and September 1918, its final two months in the line on the Western Front. For more than a century, the Corps’ achievements during that time have been used to reinforce a cherished belief in national military exceptionalism by highlighting the exploits and extraordinary fighting ability of the Australian infantrymen, and the modern progressive tactical approach of their native-born commander, Lieutenant-General Sir John Monash. This study re-evaluates the Corps’ performance by examining it at a more comprehensive and granular operational level than has hitherto been the case. What emerges is a complex picture of impressive battlefield success despite significant internal difficulties that stemmed from the particularly strenuous nature of the advance and a desperate shortage of manpower. These played out in chronic levels of exhaustion, absenteeism and ill-discipline within the ranks, and threatened to undermine the Corps’ combat capability. In order to reconcile this paradox, the thesis locates the Corps’ performance within the wider context of the British army and its operational organisation in 1918.

  • DOSSIER DE PRESSE 2012 Marc FEUILLEE Président Directeur Général - Groupe Le Figaro
    DOSSIER DE PRESSE 2012 Marc FEUILLEE Président directeur général - Groupe Le Figaro Le Groupe Figaro a décidé de développer au sein de son por- tail internet lefigaro.fr, leader français des sites d'actualité, une chaine nautisme, en synergie avec meteoconsult, les pages sports du quotidien et la course La Solitaire. Par ailleurs, afin d'amplifier le développement de l'événement, le Groupe Figaro a décidé de confier pour les prochaines an- nées, l’organisation de La Solitaire du Figaro - Eric Bompard Cachemire à la société Pen Duick. Son expertise dans le milieu des courses océaniques est in- déniable et reconnue. Organisateur de nombreuses courses transatlantiques dont deux en classe Figaro Bénéteau 2, je suis intimement convaincu que cette nouvelle équipe portera encore plus haut les couleurs de cet événement de premier ordre du calendrier voile en France. Depuis désormais 42 ans, La Solitaire a permis à de nombreux marins de se forger une expérience majeure dans la grande aventure de la course au large en révélant de magnifiques talents qui voguent désormais sur de multiples supports. Il n’est pas rare de voir ces grands marins venir régulièrement, se jau- ger et se mesurer à la jeune garde. La Solitaire du Figaro - Eric Bompard Cachemire possède cet atout unique de pouvoir ré- gater à armes égales sur des parcours toujours très exigeants, difficiles et sélectifs et qui requièrent de la part de ces skippers un grand sens de la navigation. L’internationalisation se poursuit cette année par une étape en Espagne à Gijon mais également avec la présence parmi les inscrits de plusieurs skippers anglais, portugais et norvégiens.
