  • The Political Journal of Sir George Fottrell
    THE POLITICAL JOURNAL OF SIR GEORGE FOTTRELL 13 Jany. 1885 I think it may perhaps at some future stage of Irish politics prove useful to have from an eye witness some notes of the events now passing in Ireland or rather some notes of the inner working of the Government and of the Irish party.I have rather exceptional opportunities of noting their working. I have since I attained manhood been a consistent Nationalist and I believe that the leading men on the national side have confidence in my honour and consistency. On the other hand I am a Crown official & I am an intimate personal friend of Sir Robert Hamilton,1 the Under Secretary for Ireland. My first introduction to him took place about 18 months ago. I was introduced to him by Robert Holmes,2 the Treasury Remembrancer. At that time Sir Robert was Mr.Hamilton & his private secretary was Mr.Clarke Hall who had come over temporarily from the Admiralty. Mr. Hamilton was himself at that time only a temporary official. Shortly afterwards he was induced to accept the permanent appointment as Under Secretary. From the date of my first introduction to him up to the present our acquaintance has steadily developed into a warm friendship and I think that Sir Robert Hamilton now probably speaks to me on Irish matters more freely than to anyone else. I have always spoken to him with similar freedom and whether my views were shared by him or were at total variance with his I have never concealed my opinion from him.

  • Loyal Address
    LOYAL ADDRESS On behalf of the people of West Sussex on the occasion of Her Majesty’s 90th birthday Your Majesty On behalf of the people of West Sussex it is my great privilege to send loyal greetings on the occasion of your 90th birthday. Our county has enjoyed a long tradition of welcoming reigning monarchs over the course of many centuries, a tradition Your Majesty has continued so extensively that we feel certain that your visits, both official and private, must have exceeded those of any previous royal forebear. SUSAN PYPER HM Lord-Lieutenant for West Sussex April 2016 1920s The first reported occasion that Your Majesty visited the county was in 1929 when you spent two weeks by the seaside near Bognor, visiting your grandfather, King George v, at Craigweil House, where he was convalescing from his serious illness. You were just under three and a great tonic to both the King and Queen at this anxious time. Queen Mary wrote in her diary that she played in the garden with you ‘making sand pies’. To this day we remember this notable visit as its recuperative effects were so beneficial that your grandfather graciously conferred the royal suffix to Bognor – Bognor Regis. Princess Elizabeth at Craigweil – a great tonic to the King and Queen Making sand castles at Craigweil Fontwell Park, 1949 – Princess Elizabeth inspecting Monaveen after the race 1930s Two years later, in 1931, Your Majesty Queen Mary.

The bedroom I was born in was alongside the "Tapestry" room - looking straight on to the Long Walk. I remember my grandmother sitting with me in the latter after Alice's birth and saying: "I detest this room." She told me that in it she had been terribly scolded by her mother here, who had accused her of making up to King William IV at the dinner he had given for her birthday, when he had drunk her health and had insulted the Duchess of Kent.

  • Extracts Relating to the Zulu War of 1879
    EXTRACTS RELATING TO THE ZULU WAR OF 1879 From THE GRAPHIC, AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, JANUARY TO DECEMBER 1879 EDITOR’S NOTE The extracts in the following pages were made during 2003/4 from my complete collection of original editions of The Graphic, covering the period January to December 1879. Care has been taken to extract every reference having a bearing, directly or indirectly, on the Zulu War. The spelling of personal and place names is the same as used in the original, but there has also been a very wide variety of general spellings, from various journalists. So, for the purpose of clarification of place names, a list of their modern equivalent is set out below. By way of an appendix I have included a treatise on The Zulu Army compiled in 1879 by direction of Lord Chelmsford. A copy of which was made available to me by courtesy of the Durban Municipal Library. It is hoped that a further file of The Graphic pictures can be added to this section in due course. Copyright Debinair Publishing 2005. Permission to use the following material can be obtained from; Debinair Publishing Ltd Sportsman Farm Man of Kent Lane High Halden Kent.

The Graphic; Jan. 11, 1879; P.34 Under Foreign – Miscellaneous. In SOUTH AFRICA the preparation for war with the Zulu King Cetywayo continues, though nothing definite has been decided upon.
