    AAFFTTEERR TTHHEE BBAATTTTLLEE NEW TITLE PUBLISHED JUNE 2019 In 2012 Jean Paul Pallud wrote the After the Battle account of the Desert War; now he completes the story with detailed coverage of JEAN PAUL PALLUD the landings of Operation ‘Torch’ in North-West Africa in November 1942. When the western Allies decided to launch a second front in North Africa, they carefully considered the anti-British feeling left in France by the ill-advised attack by the Royal Navy on the French Fleet at Mers el Kébir in July 1940. Consequently, the operation was given an American rather than a British complexion, General Eisenhower was chosen to lead a mostly American force into battle and the major Royal Navy contribution was kept as inconspicuous as possible. At this point in the war, the Allies had almost no experience with amphibious operations and it was a risky undertaking to carry out such an immense operation covering multiple landings over 600 miles apart. Even more amazing was the fact that part of the invasion forces was to depart from the United States, 6,000 miles away. As the orders were not confirmed until a month before Operation ‘Torch’ was launched, there was very little time to organise such a logistically complex operation involving American and British forces, and even less time for the pro-Allied French to organise more than small measures of support. There were two landings in the Mediterranean, at three main points near Algiers and three near Oran, and three landings on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. There, the main landing came ashore at Fédala, 18 miles north-east of Casablanca, and the armour was brought ashore at Safi, 140 miles south-east.

  • A Novel Seabirds of Jutland Part II: Exegesis Family Archives, The
    THESIS The Stories we Carry Part I: A Novel Seabirds of Jutland Part II: Exegesis Family Archives, the Writing of Absence and the Second World War in Europe. A thesis submitted towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics at Newcastle University. Author: Elizabeth Anne Bostock Date: February 2018 Abstract This thesis is engaged with a critical exploration of and creative response to family archives. Presented in two parts, the thesis is first a work of fiction, a novel, which was initially inspired by my own Danish family history during the Second World War, but soon found a life of its own. Set in a small provincial town in Jutland, the novel explores themes of loss and connection, as well as those of loneliness and compromise. The second part is an interrogation of the stories we carry: stories from history, stories from the family archive and stories conjured up from the imagination alone. In the Holmboe family archive, I discovered forty- two volumes of Christian Holmboe’s journals and among them the list of the dead in the family’s home town of Horsens in early September 1943. Ebbe Holmboe, my great-uncle, was murdered at the age of twenty-three in a Nazi concentration camp. Signs in this Danish archive led me to a diverse selection of accounts written across Europe during and after the Second World War and included the archival research, journals and creative responses of Élisabeth Gille (the daughter of Irene Némirovsky), Georges Perec and Jacqueline Mesnil- Amar among others.

A special welcome to all PhD students and their supervisors as this year’s theme is ‘Successful supervision – a two‐ way process’. Good supervision is essential for a successful degree programme. It is our belief that a positive and productive collaboration between supervisor and PhD student is one of the most important aspects of research education. As a pioneer in research education Health has more than 30 years of experience, and central to the consistent quality of the education offered here at Health are our supervisors. These are researchers employed at Health or Aarhus University Hospital recognized internationally for their results and academic knowledge. Similarly, the importance of dedicated and ambitious PhD students prepared to take the initiative in the collaboration can not be underestimated. To speak on ‘Successful supervision – a two‐way process’ we have invited Professor Emeritus Gunnar Handal from Oslo University and Associate Professor Gitte Wichmann from the Centre for Teaching Development and Digital Media here at Aarhus University. Gunnar Handal is behind several publications on supervision in research education as is Gitte Wichmann, who is also a former PhD study counsellor at Health.

The main claim of this study is that Helhesten was an original and fully established avant-garde before the artists formed the more internationally focused Cobra group, and that the collective’s development of sophisticated socio-political engagement and new kinds of countercultural strategies prefigured those of postwar art groups such as Fluxus and the Situationist International.
