  • Oldham Histories Festival September 2020
    OLDHAM HISTORIES FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER 2020 ~~~~~~ PART 1 Sometimes, the emphasis might seem to be on the army ... almost ignoring the contribution of the Royal Navy, the merchant navy and the Royal Flying Corps. This isn't intentional, or in any way suggesting that their sacrifices weren't as important or as great . From the beginning of 2014 we have been reminded constantly ... through the media... that 2014 is the centenary of the 'War to End War' beginning. This map shows us the main Theatres of War ... but doesn't reach far south enough to include North Africa, Suez and Colonial German East Africa, which also saw fighting throughout those years. In this short narrative, we're only going to scratch the surface of lives touched by the conflict ... what to leave out became more of a problem than what to include ... so the following is just a few examples ... looking back ... to try and help us understand just what it meant to live through those times. For one 27 year old Oldham man, the war began and ended, for him, in the first couple of days. His name was Frank Morrison and he wasn't a soldier - he was in the Royal Navy. On the 5th of August he should have been at home on leave ... but all leave had been cancelled, so he was still on board his ship, the HMS Amphion. The Amphion was a cruiser and Leader of the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla. It was returning to Harwich with survivors from a German minelayer which had been sunk by the flotilla.
