STAFF VOLUNTEERING FOR MILITARY DUTY AND TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS.--During March,1916 the Second Army, Central Force, whose Sanitary Officer I. was, and the Headquarters of which were situated at Tunbridge Wells, ceased to exist as such, and the Southern Army (Home Defence) -was formed. I was appointed the Sanitary Officer to the Southern Army. Then there was a re-arrange- ment of troops, and the Headquarters of the Southern Army removed to Brentwood in Essex. This re-arrangement of the troops led to the severing of my connection with the Southern Army, and had I left Kent, the County Council would have been without medical supervision of the Public Health Administration of the County. Therefore I became demobilised as and from March 29th,1916, with the approval of the War Office. I have received written appreciation of my work from my late superior officer, Colonel Sloggett, who is now the Assistant Director of Medical Services to the Southern Army (Home Defence), Doctors Grabham and Carrick have enrolled under the scheme arranged by the Central War Medical Committee and the War Office with the approval of the Local Government Board. Enroll- ment does not carry with it the indication that the enrolled person will necessarily be "called up,"'. and I understand that neither the Central War Medical Committee nor the War Office will allow the it calling up" of public health officials without the consent of the Local Government Board.

  • Medway Heritage Asset Review 2017 Final Draft: November 2017
    Medway Heritage Asset Review 2017 Final Draft: November 2017 Executive Summary The Medway Heritage Asset Review intends to provide a comprehensive overview of the heritage assets in Medway in order to inform the development of a Heritage Strategy to support the emerging Medway Local Plan 2015. Medway benefits from a rich heritage spanning millennia, underpinning the local distinctiveness and creating a unique and special character that can be readily interpreted through the historic environment. The main report is broken down into sections, initially looking at the topography of Medway and how this influenced human settlement in the area, then looking at the development of the key settlements in Medway; taking into consideration the key drivers for their establishment and identifying existing heritage assets. Furthermore, the main influences to development in the area are also considered; including Chatham Dockyard and the military, the brick, cement and lime industry, agriculture, maritime and religion. Through investigating Medway’s history both geographically and thematically, the significance of heritage assets and the importance of historic landscapes can be readily identified; enabling a better understanding and providing opportunities to enhance their enjoyment. Non-designated heritage assets are also identified using a broad range of sources; providing a deeper knowledge of what shapes the distinct local character experienced in Medway and the how this identity is of great importance to the local community. The report concludes with suggestions for additional areas of research and identifies themes to be considered to inform the development of a coherent and robust Heritage Strategy that will help enhance, understand and celebrate Medway’s heritage for years to come.

  • Kent's Twentieth-Century Military and Civil Defences: Part 1
    Archaeologia Cantiana - Vol. 130 2010 KENT’S TWENTIETH-CENTURY MILITARY AND CIVIL DEFENCES: PART – THAMESIDE VICTOR T.C. SMITH Kent County Council’s Defence of Kent Project is studying the county’s twentieth-century military and civil defences. Surveys of Gravesham, Dartford, Medway and Canterbury council districts have been completed. This paper, the first of three, provides an overview of findings from Gravesham and Dartford districts, known jointly as Kent Thameside. This involves analysis of over 500 sites, now available for viewing on the on-line Kent Historic Environment Record (www.kent.gov.uk/HER). The aim of the Defence of Kent Project is to better understand the role, evolution, distribution and survival of the county’s varied military and civil defence structures, built or used during the twentieth century. It is hoped to bring this subject more fully into the public domain, providing greater awareness by publication, educational and interpretational projects, by highlighting sites for protection or conservation as well as by improving physical access. Information sources have been wide and varied, including War Office and Home Office memoranda at the National Archives, records at the Centre for Kentish Studies and other local authority archives and libraries, as well as the holdings of service museums and Kent County Council’s aerial photograph collection. Minutes of local councils provided useful information about civil defence. Studies by the Council for British Archaeology and the Defence of Britain Project have also been consulted.2 Additional information was obtained from the recollections of individuals and from local historical societies and parish councils. This information has been assessed, mapped where possible, and visits to sites made, to produce an historical synthesis.
