As some confusion has arisen among British writers about the name of this operation, it is worth quoting the authoritative account of ContraAlmirante 1M Carlos Busser, who commanded the Disembarkation Force on 2 April 1982. He states quite clearly: 'This operation of repossession, in which the Disembarkation Force was engaged, is what was called Operation Rosario'. In the 'Comentario General' he contributed as chapter I of the book Operacion Rosario (Buenos Aires: Editorial Atlantida, 1984), compiled by members of the disembarkation force, the Rear Admiral never mentions the code-name Azul cited by Freedman and Middlebrook, but the book includes a colour photograph of the Virgen del Rosario, to whom the operation was dedi­ cated. 15.

  • British 8Th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-1918
    Centre for First World War Studies British 8th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-18 by Alun Miles THOMAS Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law January 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Recent years have seen an increasingly sophisticated debate take place with regard to the armies on the Western Front during the Great War. Some argue that the British and Imperial armies underwent a ‘learning curve’ coupled with an increasingly lavish supply of munitions, which meant that during the last three months of fighting the BEF was able to defeat the German Army as its ability to conduct operations was faster than the enemy’s ability to react. This thesis argues that 8th Division, a war-raised formation made up of units recalled from overseas, became a much more effective and sophisticated organisation by the war’s end. It further argues that the formation did not use one solution to problems but adopted a sophisticated approach dependent on the tactical situation.

This issue contains two most interesting articles - from Martin Middlebrook about the workings of a VAD hospital and Roberta Ashworth’s Trinder family researches. We also have the last part of the Ebrington School and Reverend Hornby’s note book story by Margaret Fisher and Pearl Mitchell and some useful correspondence and queries. Thank you all once again for sending your articles for Notes & Queries and a special thank you to Jill Wilson, who proof checks my drafts and is always full of good suggestions.

Jolly from Lincolnshire, asked if we knew of his grandfather, George ‘Spoe’ Fletcher, a local poacher in the 1930s and 1940s? He told us that ‘Spoe’ allegedly sold rabbits at 2p each from a bicycle around Campden and is believed to be buried in the small graveyard on the Paxford Road out of Blockley.

  • Parish Magazine October 2018
    The Pilgrim News Issue 17 – OCTOBER – NOVember 2018 Free Magazine Festival of Remembrance Programme Pages 9 & 10 Revd. Alyson Buxton writes . Dear Friends, This year we remember and commemorate the Centenary of The Great War. Let us go back for one moment to the first ever two minutes silence as reported by the Manchester Guardian on the 12th of November in 1919: The first stroke of eleven produced a magical effect. The tram cars glided into stillness, motors ceased to cough and fume, and stopped dead, and the mighty-limbed dray horses hunched back upon their loads and stopped also, seeming to do it of their own volition. Someone took off his hat, and with a nervous hesitancy the rest of the men bowed their heads also. Here and there an old soldier could be detected slipping unconsciously into the posture of 'attention'. An elderly woman, not far away, wiped her eyes, and the man beside her looked white and stern. Everyone stood very still ... The hush deepened. It had spread over the whole city and become so pronounced as to impress one with a sense of audibility. It was a silence which was almost pain ... And the spirit of memory brooded over it all. During this season of ‘Remembrance’, and throughout our Festival of Remembrance, we are not debating the whys and wherefores of war. We are quite simply standing shoulder to shoulder in commitment, honour and companionship with everyone who has lost their lives in the service of their country, as well as standing in solidarity and empathy with the families who have suffered this loss.

Prospect theory posits that the decision maker’s reference point determines the domain in which he makes a decision. If the domain is one of losses, the decision maker will tend to be risk seeking, if gains, then he will be risk averse. The author proposes that if prospect theory’s propositions are correct, then it may be possible for the decision maker, by assessing his own domain, to make better informed decisions.

This booklet has been written in honour of every Old Petriburgian, known or unknown, who made that ultimate sacrifice. The details have been compiled from a variety of sources, including records held by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the General Register Office and The National Archives. Some information has also been extracted from contemporary local newspapers held by the relevant Library and Archives Sections, and from other publications. Many details are from The King’s School’s own archives, including photographs and information kindly given to the school by relatives of those who died. This booklet owes much to the substantial contributions made by the late Commander C.J.G Willis, Peter Miller, Judith Bunten, Jenny Davies and Trevor Elliott, to each of whom many thanks are due. Their generous and enthusiastic collaboration has been truly invaluable and much appreciated. Grateful thanks are also due to the many individuals and organisations that have kindly provided information from their archives and have granted permission to include photographs from their collections, including The War Graves Photographic Project.

Annual Meeting-Reunion COLUMBUS, GEORGIA OCTOBER 30, 31, NOV 1, 2014 We would like to invite our Middlebrook/s cousins, including any other families connected to our kin, to join us for this year’s reunion in Columbus, Georgia. If you are interested in family history and meeting and socializing with other relatives, you will have a great time. The events and activities will focus on exploring “Isaac from Kent County, Maryland, to Harris County, Georgia.” This is the first time for the MFA to feature this Middlebrooks line. Meet your extended family, learn more about our ancestors, share family histories, stories, and, of course, those old photographs and documents. Columbus is affectionately known as “The biggest small town in Georgia,” due to the Ft. Benning folks being part of our town. It is the largest infantry training center in the world now, with the Army’s Artillery Center from Fort Knox added in. Columbus is the corporate headquarters of many of the United States’ leading companies, such as Aflac Insurance, Carmike Cinemas, Char-Broil, TSYS, and Lance Snack Foods. Columbus is the County Seat of Muscogee County, and the Chattahoochee River separates Columbus and its neighbor, Phenix City, Alabama.

  • See Also... a Library Weblog by Steve Lawson
    What the world needs now is another library weblog like I need a hole in my head August 17, 2005 At least that's what I thought after reading over Walt Crawford's investigation of the "biblioblogosphere" in the September Cites & Insights (pdf link). I knew there were a lot of library weblogs--I subscribe to close to thirty in my RSS reader--but Crawford analyzed over 230 library-related blogs, and ran down sixty of the blogs with the widest reach (according to his interpretation of his data; if you'd like to interpret it yourself, he's made it available as an Excel spreadsheet). The likelihood of my adding something entirely new to that mix seems low. And yet, here we are. This is the first real post to my new library weblog, See Also. While I am obviously feeling a little self-conscious about adding my blog to those 230+ that are already out there, I'm also very excited about the idea of thinking, writing, and conversing about libraries, librarianship, and more. I have had other blogs in the past, but most of those were just my outboard brain, a parking place for URLs I didn't want to lose (now I just use del.icio.us). I made no attempt to build a readership, to communicate, to connect. But over the last year as I read more and more library weblogs as they hashed out Gormangate and tried to understand the implications of tags and folksonomies, I wanted to become part of the conversation. I left the occasional comment, but it seemed like I needed a home base if I was really going to take part.
