  • History of the Aldershot Branch, Rsa
    HISTORY OF THE ALDERSHOT BRANCH, RSA Edition 2, June 2020 The author acknowledges with grateful thanks the considerable help received in compiling the military history content of this update. Paul Vickers, Chairman, Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum, generously provided much detailed information on Aldershot Garrison aspects. The story of the formation of C Troop was drawn from the research work of branch member, David Mullineaux, written up in the Royal Signals Institution Journal of Spring 2010. Branch Committee Member, Neville Lyons not only provided the lists of events and talks but also proof read the whole document and made valued suggestions on presentation. Historical Background There has been a strong link between Aldershot and the evolution of modern Army signalling ever since the establishment of the first Royal Engineers Telegraph Troop there in 1871. As the technology developed, so did the number of units both in Aldershot and worldwide with the result that at the end of the Great War there were 70,000 men serving in the Royal Engineers Signal Service. This led in 1920 to the formation of the Royal Corps of Signals which has maintained a continuous link with the Town and Garrison of Aldershot to this day. The full story of this evolutionary process is set out in a further new paper entitled “Aldershot: the Cradle of Army Signalling.” The technical and organisational details given there are separate from the history of the Association branch but there is a connection between the two stories which was particularly close in the early years of Royal Signals because of the units and individuals involved.

Men’s field Stanley Biwott (KEN) will make his Bank of America Chicago Marathon debut as the seventh- fastest man in history over the marathon distance (2:03:51) and the 11th-fastest in history over the half marathon on a record-eligible course (58:56). Biwott made his mark in the Abbott World Marathon Majors with a victory at the 2015 TCS New York City Marathon, and with a standout performance at the 2016 London Marathon, finishing second to Eliud Kipchoge (KEN) in a career best, 2:03:51 (Biwott and Kipchoge share the 30K world record, 1:27:13, set during the London Marathon). Biwott has finished in the top five of 10 marathons. Feyisa Lilesa (ETH) gained international attention at the 2016 Rio Olympics when he finished the marathon with a silver medal. However, he initially made a name for himself in 2010 when, just two months after his 20th birthday, he became the youngest athlete to break 2:06 in the marathon with a 2:05:23 performance in Rotterdam. He has run well in Chicago, finishing third in 2010 and coming back in 2012 to chase Tsegaye Kebede (ETH) to the line for second place and a new personal best, 2:04:52.

  • Hampshire Link
    HAMPSHIRE LINK JANUARY 1, 2015 CHARITY NO 219279 ‘Improvised’ then … commemorated now Hopefully, during 2014, the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War was commemorated nationally and locally in a measured and tasteful manner. In Hampshire branches staged concerts and special events, held memorial services and laid wreaths and crosses in memory of men from their own towns and villages who had laid down their lives during The Great War. In Aldershot, the home of the British Army, there were two significant events, both bringing together the garrison and the community and both focussing on football. Shahid Azeem, Chairman of Aldershot Town Football Club, described the Peace and Goodwill Concert staged at the ESS Ground on December 4 as, “a bringing together of the military town and the civilian town to commemorate the spontaneous game of football played at Christmas in 1914.” A dramatisation of the game, now referred to as ‘The Truce Game’, formed just part of a remarkable evening of ca rols and readings that proved to be a true union of the town and it’s Army. Thirteen days later an even larger crowd lined the terraces of Aldershot Town’s ground to witness a remarkable football match that spoke volumes for the present day relationship between the two major combatants of the First World War. The ‘Game of Truce’ Commemorative Match pitched the British Army XI against a side representing the German Armed Forces. It proved to be an exciting, highly competitive, evenly matched game; hugely enjoyed by everyone in the 2,547 crowd.

  • Soldiers, Migrants and Citizens – the NEPALESE in BRITAIN
    Soldiers, Migrants and Citizens – THE NEPALESE IN BRITAIN A RUNNYMEDE COMMUNITY STUDY BY JESSICA MAI SIMS SOLDIERS, MIGRANTS AND CITIZENS – THE NEPALESE IN BRITAIN About Runnymede Community Studies In reflecting on the changing nature of ethnic diversity in Britain, it becomes increasingly clear that we have to move beyond binary notions of white and non-white to explain the ways in which racisms operate, identities are formed and people live out their lives. The societies in which we live are becoming more diverse and will continue to diversify as migration patterns change, and the impacts of globalization are reflected in labour markets as well as in transnational movement of capital. This series of community studies aims to promote understanding of the diversity within and between different ethnic groups. Our intention is to build up a collection of studies which focus on communities; their demography, links to civil society, and key political and social issues. We hope that over time this will provide a rich resource for understanding how diversity is lived and experienced away from the necessarily crude ethnic monitoring form, in a vital and dynamic multi- ethnic society.
