From the Senior Deputy Head 21" May 2009 ALLEYN'S SCHOOL Townley Road, Dulwich London SE22 8SU Mr Tony Arbour London Assembly City Hall The Queen's Walk London SE1 2AA Dear Mr Arbour You wrote to the Headmaster, Dr Diggory about a review of London's war memorials and we have now prepared our response to your questions. Does your school contain a war memorial? If so, what are the details~of the memorial in terms of its history, type and physical description, location, people and wars commemorated on it? Yes. It is a wooden (oak) war memorial which lists the names of the Alleyn's Old Boys who died during the First and Second World Wars. A war memorial for the Alleyn's Old Boys (AOBs) who were killed in WW1 was agreed as early as April 1918. They were to be remembered by the installation of a school organ above the platform in the School's Great Hall. Under the organ balcony, eight oak panels were

  • Cemeteries Strategy for the London Borough of Brent
    Cemeteries Strategy for the London Borough of Brent Table of Contents Executive Summary Section1: Introduction Section 2: Current Provision Section 3: Demand for Burial Space Section 4: Income and Expenditure Section 5: Key Issues and Areas for Development Section 6: Vision and Objectives Appendices Appendix 1: Legal Background and Statutory Powers Appendix 2: Action Plan Appendix 3: Consultation Report 1 Executive Summary Brent Council is a burial authority by virtue of the Local Government Act 1972 and is legally obliged to maintain its cemeteries ‘in good order and repair’ 1. It is not legally obliged to provide new burial space but the sale of space generates income that funds the maintenance of cemeteries and provides a service to residents. If the council does not continue to provide new burial space to meet demand, maintenance costs will still have to be met, creating a budget shortfall. The council owns and manages three cemeteries within the borough; Alperton, Paddington Old and Willesden New. It also jointly owns Carpenders Park Cemetery, located outside the borough within the area of Three Rivers District Council near Watford. Harrow Council owns approximately 25% of the burial land at Carpenders Park with Brent managing the whole cemetery as part of a joint delivery arrangement. The council is currently exploring options for the grounds maintenance and management of its cemeteries as part of its Managing the Public Realm project. The three cemeteries in Brent are traditionally laid out with memorial stones while Carpenders Park is a lawn cemetery with graves grassed over apart from horizontal memorial plaques. New land for graves is available at Carpenders Park but not at any of the cemeteries located in the borough.

Eric’s article on the Great War in the book ‘Clarecastle and Ballyea - Land and People 2’ was an invaluable source of information. Eric also has been a great help to me over the past five years, with priceless information on Clare in WW1 and WW2. If that was not enough, Dr Joe Power, another historian from Clarecastle published his excellent book ‘Clare and the Great War’ in 2015. Clarecastle and Ballyea are very proud of their history, and it is a privilege to write this booklet on its contribution to the Great War. 2 Main Street Clarecastle Michael McMahon: Born in Sixmilebridge, lived in Clarecastle, died of wounds 20th Aug 1917 age 25, Royal Dublin Fusiliers 1st Bn 40124, 29th Div, G/M in Belgium.

  • The Olden Days
    The Olden Days Preface: When my dad, Galen (Fritz), my Aunt Garnett, and my Uncle Art were in their eighties they wrote stories about growing up in the 1920s, ’30s, and World War II. The three of them, and their youngest sister Jeanne, were all born on a farm in Richland Township of Story County, Iowa between 1916 and 1927. They are all deceased. Their stories will make you appreciate the luxury life we live today. Stories by Galen (Fritz) Stratton Garnett Stratton Morris Arthur Stratton Stories by Galen (Fritz) Old Age by Fritz Stratton Time is humming And old age is coming Doc gave me new eyes and new knees So we kind of go steady and I’m on the ready But I hope there’s no more, if you please Life can be magic And sometimes tragic You never know what you should fear So I’ll just keep mowing If the John Deere keeps going Pretty soon we’ll start a New Year Then it’s back to snow blowing Sometimes it’s tough going When it’s icy you fall on your rear Lord, give me more magic Put a hold on the tragic And help me get out of bed every morn I’ll fire up the mower, also the blower Until I hear Gabriel’s horn What Did We Do For Fun by Fritz Stratton I grew up on a horse and he was a big part of my life for about 10 years.

  • The Polish Immigrant Experience in Britain 1. Polish Migration to Britain
    Marie-Luise Egbert “Old Poles” and “New Blacks”: The Polish Immigrant Experience in Britain Two periods stand out in the history of Polish migration to Britain. The Second World War forced many Poles to leave their native country and brought more than 200,000 civilians and members of the Polish Armed Forces to Britain. Some sixty years later, another large wave of Poles arrived in the wake of their country’s accession to the European Union in May 2004. Motivated by economic rather than political reasons, they faced some of the prejudices and obstacles which people from Asia and the Caribbean had encountered before them, and they have occasionally been referred to as the “New Blacks”. After a selective look at the presence of both “old” and “new” Poles in Britain today, this essay studies a recent example of Anglo-Polish literature, Joanna Czechowska’s The Black Madonna of Derby. While its writing was occasioned by the latter wave of immigration, the novel actually centres on the life of the war and postwar generations and allows one to draw interesting parallels and differences between these Central European migrants and the postcolonial migrants of roughly the same period. 1. Polish Migration to Britain 1 September 2009 marked the 70th anniversary of the start of the Second World War with Hitler’s attack on Poland, a day officially commemorated throughout Europe, notably with a ceremony in the harbour of Gdansk, where German military action began in September 1939. It took until the same month in 2009 for the Polish soldiers and officers
