    COVER ARTWORK ON SEPARATE FILE THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KINGSTON UPON THAMES ENRICHING KINGSTON UPON THAMES First recorded in a Royal Charter in 838, the medieval market town of Kingston is Britain’s oldest Royal Borough. It has a colourful history that includes the coronation of Saxon Kings and the construction of London’s oldest bridge, while present-day Kingston has become one of the capital’s most exclusive and desirable places to live. Today’s Kingston is a lively and picturesque market town, perfectly situated on the banks of the Thames, and with a character of its own, although Central London is just a train ride away. The latest addition to Kingston is Royal Exchange, an exciting new development built around the beautiful Grade II listed Old Post Office and Telephone Exchange buildings. It will offer 267 Manhattan, one, two and three bedroom apartments, adding a modern touch to complement Kingston’s evolving heritage. 3 There are two Grade II listed buildings at Royal Exchange. The Old Post Office, which dates back to 1875, and the Telephone Exchange, built in 1908. Both were once the beating heart of Kingston: bustling institutions that played host to generations A PART OF of workers. The Telephone Exchange eventually became a sorting HISTORY office in 1938 and closed in 1984, followed by the Old Post Office in 1995.

The Telephone Exchange building will become a hub for businesses and exciting new ventures that will add KINGSTON HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF HISTORY an invigorating creative energy and new opportunities WITH OVER 300 LISTED BUILDINGS.

  • Squadron Leader Caesar Hull
    SQUADRON LEADER CAESAR B. HULL, DFC A RHODESIAN BORN FIGHTER PILOT WHO FOUGHT AND DIED IN THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN 43 and 263 FIGHTER SQUADRONS “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few” Winston Churchill Written from a Rhodesian Schoolboy's Perspective by Bill Musgrave Ex No 237 (Rhodesia) Squadron, RAF Middle East Command 1943 to 1945 Originally published in the 2004 Annual Magazine of The Battle of Britain Historical Society Preamble I regret I cannot claim to have known Caesar Hull, due possibly to age difference. At the outbreak of the Second World War I was a boarder aged 15 at Plumtree School in Southern Rhodesia, situated on the border with Bechuanaland (Botswana), and located on the Railway Line linking South Africa with Southern Rhodesia, Central Africa and countries beyond. Caesar Hull was granted a Short Service Commission in the RAF in 1935, and at the outbreak of war was an operational fighter pilot with 43 Squadron based at Tangmere, age 25. I well remember listening to the radio broadcast by Neville Chamberlain on that solemn occasion on Sunday morning 3rd September 1939 proclaiming a declaration of war with Germany. Amongst school children around the world the word 'war' conjured up many different images of what was to follow. At Plumtree School the first realistic sign of war was the arrival one day of a Military Train assembled by the Special Services Battalion (SSB) of the South African Army. This train contained a complete cross section of military hardware, troops and a band.
