Luxembourg, 14 februari 2004 | Steeds als ik Luxemburg bezoek lijkt het weer niet meer te werken. Ook deze dag was het niet anders. Alhoewel het plaatje redelijk donker is werd dit wel de enige keer dat ik een BB 16500 van de SNCF met RRR- rijtuigen in het station van Luxemburg wist te fotograferen.

Chocques was occupied by Commonwealth forces from the late autumn of 1914 to the end of the war. The village was at one time the headquarters of I Corps and from January 1915 to April 1918, No.1 Casualty Clearing Station was posted there. Most of the burials from this period are of casualties who died at the clearing station from wounds received at the Bethune front. From April to September 1918, during the German advance on this front, the burials were carried out by field ambulances, divisions and fighting units.

The 15 year old Algernon, (born Ixworth Suffolk), is recorded serving as a School Boy \ Ships cadet on the 1901 census. The ship he was on was moored on the River Thames off Greenhithe, Kent.
(See this Wiki article on the training ship - the mystery would be why Algernon ended up serving as a lowly gunner in the army.)

Algernon is commemorated in the church at Thuxton.

Military Genealogy has a Percy Howard, born Garvestone.
The 3 year old Percy, born Garvestone, is recorded on the 1901 census at Farm, Mattishall Road, Garvestone. This is the household of his parents, William, (aged 50 and a Farmer from Norfolk), and
Julia, (aged 46 and from Great Downham). Their other children are:-
Edith…………aged 5.………….born Garvestone
Florence……..aged 1.………….born Garvestone
Lacey………..aged 15.…………born Yaxham………….Farmers Son
Mable……….aged 9.…………..born Garvestone
Maud………..aged 7.…………..born Garvestone
Robert……….aged 21.…………born Yaxham………….Farmers Son
William………aged 19.…………born Yaxham………….Carpenters Apprentice
Large numbers of British troops were captured during the second phase of the German Spring Offensive. The 12th Suffolks were certainly in the front-line as the German assault troops and ferocious barrage forced the collapse of the Portugese Army in their sector.
One of the units of the corps brigade was the 11th Suffolks, who were rushed forward to help out on the 40th Divisional front, and soon found themselves fighting alongside the 12th.. The 11th suffered 500 casualties, killed wounded and missing., and undoubtedly the 12th suffered in similar numbers.
(The next headstone is for brother Lacey, who died December 7th 1915, aged 30. There is nothing to indicate that his death was war related and he does not appear on the CWGC database).

There is a picture of the 7th Norfolks man on the Norlink site, but the additional notes that go with the picture would seem question whether this is the Garvestone man, although it would make him the right aged and confirms that S E stands for Sydney Ernest.
norlink.norfolk.gov.uk/02_Catalogue/02_013_PictureTitleIn...
Accompanying notes
Lance Corporal Jowlings was born at Potash Farm, Hethel, on 17th February 1894. He was educated at the King Edward VI Middle School in Norwich. He enlisted on 12th January 1916 and died of wounds at the 5th C.C. Station in France on 22nd November 1917
On the Great War Roll of Honour, he is recorded as Ernest S.
On the 1901 census, the 7 year old Sydney, born Hethel, is recorded at Loddon Road, Norton Subcourse. This is the household of his parents, Ernest R, (aged 35 and a Farmer from London), and Marion, (aged 39 and from Thuxton). The Jowlings also have a daughter, Ida, (aged 11 and born Hingham). Making up the household is a sister-in-law of Ernests, (and possibly therefore a sister of Marion), Ann Holman, (aged 27, single and from Hingham).
Battalion War Diary
Trenches 20th At 6.20 am an attack was carried out by the IVth Corps in conjunction with other troops on the left. The 12th Division were the right division of the IVth Corps, and the 20th Division were on the left of the 12th Division. On the immediate flank of the Division, the 166th Brigade, 55th Division of III Corps advanced 3 or 4 small posts. Dor this attack the Battalion, minus “B” Coy were in Brigade Reserve. The Brigade attacked on a front of two battalions: 5th R.Berks on right, 9th Essex Rgt on left and the 7th Suffolk Regt were ordered to leapfrog the left battalion and take the HINDERBUG MAIN LINE.
Our casualties were slight. Captain C W Archdale was killed, SecLieuts A L Hogarth-Swan and D T Hedges being wounded. Other Ranks:-killed 6, Wounded 24, Missing 6.
Trenches November 21st to the 28th 1917.
During these eight days following the successful attack of the IIIth Corps, the Hun was extremely quiet doing very little shelling on our part of the line. We relieved the front line Battn.
(The likelihood is that Lance Corporal Jowlings was wounded on the 20th.)

Military Genealogy records Harry Albert as being born Scoulton and residing Thuxton.
The 1901 census has an 8 year old Harry, born Carbrooke, recorded at 39 Cooper Road, Willesden, Middlesex. This is the household of his parents, Albert J, (aged 39 and from Carbrooke. Census takers hand-writing is awful, but it looks like occupation is listed as “None”, although he is also described as a worker), and Eleanor, aged 29 and from Carbrooke. Their other children are:-
Mary Jane…………………aged 6.………………born Carbrooke
Lily………………………..aged 3.………………born Carbrooke
Frederick George…………aged 1.……………….born Carbrooke
However, on the 1911 census Harry Albert Newson, born circa 1893, is shown as born Scoulton. He was then resident in the district of St Faiths, Norfolk.
Note, if he was born in 1893 he could not have been 27 in July 1918. However, there are no obvious matches on the censuses for England and Wales for someone of the right age. For the person on the CWGC database, and the age is consistant with that on the memorial.

No match on Norlink
The 2 year old “Jessie” A, born Dereham, is recorded on the 1901 census at 16 Adcocks Yard, Baxter Row, East Dereham. This is the household of his Grand-Parents, Charles, (aged 62 and a General labourer from Dereham), and Kate, (aged 55 and from Walton, Norfolk). Living with them is their daughter, Lucy E, single, aged 25 and employed as a General Domestic Servant. Lucy was born Scarning. There is also another Grandson - John E A Ward, (aged 4 and from Scarning). Given the information on the CWGC database entry, the likely scenario is that Lucy is Jesse’s mother, and it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to assume John is her son as well.
There is a possible match in the baptismal records of St Nicholas, East Dereham, although the entry has apparently suffered over the years. A boy child, Jesse, born 7th May 1898, was baptised in the church on the 6th July 1899. Mothers name is partially legible -L??? Elizabeth. However, no maiden name is given for the mother and the father is listed as a John Ward, who was a ??? Labourer. The family reside at Northall Green..

2nd Battalion (Reconstituted)
The 15th Battalion, stationed in Orkney as part of 207 Brigade, became reconstituted as the Regiment’s 2nd Battalion. The 2nd(Reconstituted) Battalion landed in Normandy on the 21st June 1944 and fought as part of 227 Brigade, 15th Scottish Division throughout France at the River Odon, Gavrus, Tourmauville Bridge, Caen, Esquay, Mont Pincon, Quarry Hill and Estry, before moving into Belgium and Holland in September 1944. After fighting at Aart, Gheel Bridge and the lower Maas, the Battalion entered Germany in March 1945 and fought at Meijel, the Rhineland, the Rhine itself, Uelzen and Artlenberg, until the German surrender in May 1945
www.argylls.co.uk/history-of-the-regiment/the-argyll-and-...
Op Veritable was the code name for the allied operation to drive the Germans from the ground between the River Maas and the River Rhine. The Canadians and British would break out from the Nijmegen bridgehead clearing southeast down between the two rivers to link up with the US forces who would cross the Maas to the south and swing north.
There were three defensive lines to overcome, firstly anti-tank ditches and fortified farms, then after a mile or more, several miles of open ground and the defensive Siegfried line which ran south through the Reichswald forest to the town of Goch.
The Overall Plan
30 Corps would lead the Canadian attack and as the front expanded the Canadian 2nd Corps would come in on the left of 30 Corps. The 30 Corps. attacking force comprised six infantry divisions, two armoured divisions and three armoured brigades. The initial advance would be five divisions up; 3rd Canadian on the left then 2nd Canadian, 15th Scottish, 53rd Welsh and 51st Highland on the right.
The preliminary bombardment commended at 0500hrs on the 8th February and the leading elements of the Division crossed the start line at 1046 hrs.
During the next 24 hours the important road centre of Cleve fell to the 15th Scottish. It was probably during this battle that Private Mann died.

HMS Dasher
Shortly after getting to the Firth of Clyde on 27 March 1943, she suffered a major internal explosion and sank.
Various possible causes have been suggested, including one of her aircraft crashing onto the flight deck and igniting petrol fumes from leaking tanks. Much of what happened will never be known. Her death toll, 379 out of 528 crewmen, despite rapid response and assistance from ships and rescue craft from Brodick and Lamlash on the Isle of Arran and from Ardrossan and Greenock on the Scottish mainland, was amongst the highest in British home waters. Many escaped the ship but died of hypothermia or burns suffered when escaped fuel ignited on the water. Most of the dead were buried at Ardrossan or Greenock.
The government of the time, eager to avoid damage to morale and anxious to avoid any suggestion of faulty US construction, tried to cover up the sinking. The local media were ordered to make no reference to the tragedy, and the authorities ordered the dead to be buried in a mass unmarked grave. Furious relatives protested and some of the dead were returned to their loved ones for burial. The survivors were ordered not to talk about what happened. This policy subsequently attracted much criticism, and now memorials to those lost exist at both Ardrossan and Brodick.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Dasher_(D37)
One of those lost in the sinking of the Dasher is now believed to have provided the body for the Man who
Never Was(aka Operation Mincemeat) - an Allied deception plan to mislead German Intelligence.

Fue producido por Mercedes-Benz, entre mayo de 1955 y febrero de 1963. Un prototipo fue mostrado en el New York Auto Show de 1954.
El 190SL fue vendido junto con el más rápido, más caro de Mercedes-Benz 300SL, que se asemejan tanto en su estilo y en su suspensión totalmente independiente, con dos vehículos con doble Wishbone suspensión en la parte delantera y swing ejes en la parte trasera. Sin embargo, el 190SL no utilizar el 300SL propósito de construcción tubular spaceframe W198 plataforma, sino que se basa en la plataforma acortada monocasco R121, que fue modificada con respecto a la berlina W121 pequeña plataforma [3].
El 190SL fue alimentado por una completamente nueva, ligeramente oversquare 1.9L SOHC recto y cuatro motores (tipo M121 BII), que se desarrolló 105 CV (104 kW hp/77) (en cifras brutas o 120 CV) que se ganó una reputación de que no se ejecuta sin problemas [4], principalmente debido a la dificultad en la correcta sincronización de dos carburadores de estrangulador doble Solex, y que, en forma detuned, más tarde fue utilizado también en el W121 y W120 180 modelos 190. El coche estaba disponible, ya sea como una suave arriba convertibles (inicialmente un precio de DM 16500 / $ 3998 [5]) o con el rígido extraíble (DM 17650 / $ 4295). Una buena opción a tener en el tercer asiento de pasajeros transversales que podrían encajar incluso un adulto. En sus primeras etapas de la vida, el 190SL también podría ser tenido como un modelo deportivo de carreras con pequeñas perspex parabrisas y puertas de aluminio. En 1959, el rígido de la ventana trasera se amplió.
El 190SL fue también conocida como la Nitribitt-Mercedes tras el escándalo que rodea el asesinato de la niña llamada Rosemarie Nitribitt, que tenía una 190SL.
Tanto el 190SL y 300SL fueron reemplazadas por las de Mercedes-Benz 230SL de 1963.

Esta fue una de las mejores pláticas desde mi punto de vista, la historia del padre de George y sus esfuerzos de colecta en diversos lugares de México, en especial en Nuevo León.
James Hinton falleció la tarde del domingo 23 de julio de 2006. La comunidad botánica perdió a un distinguido, entusiasta y estimado miembro que mucho aportó para ampliar el saber de su campo.
Nació en la ciudad de México, D.F., el 24 de septiembre de 1915. Tuvo la opción de escoger como nacionalidad la inglesa o la mexicana, pero él comentaba que prefirió esta última pues amaba a nuestro país, incluso le agradaba ser nombrado "Jaime". Sus padres fueron los ingleses George Boole Hinton y Emily Wattley. Su padre vivió siete años en Inglaterra, siete en Japón y después emigró con su familia a Estados Unidos. Fue el menor de tres hermanos, el mayor fue Howard E. y el segundo George B. Jaime heredó el espíritu científico de sus antecesores: fue bisnieto de George Boole, lógico y matemático inglés descubridor del álgebra booleana, fundamental en el diseño de las computadoras electrónicas y en las matemáticas puras; fue nieto de Charles Howard Hinton, profesor de matemáticas en Princeton y novelista, y de Mary Everest Boole, también matemática y escritora; fue sobrino nieto de George Everest, Inspector General de la India y director de la Gran Medición Trigonométrica de la India, cuyo nombre se dio al monte más alto del mundo; fue sobrino nieto de la Sra. Voynich, escritora, y de James Hinton, cirujano y escritor.
El interés de Jaime por las plantas surge de su padre, George Boole Hinton, ingeniero minero, notable persona de vida ejemplar que empezó colectando helechos en los alrededores de Temascaltepec, Estado de México, donde trabajaba como superintendente de la mina Lane Rincon Mines. Su padre decía que la colecta de plantas era una inofensiva manera de satisfacer la innata curiosidad humana y le comunicó su interés, por lo que Jaime, además de desarrollar de manera prolífica su talento literario y de ejercer sus habilidades empresariales, fue desde los 21 años un apasionado colector de plantas; este entusiasmo fue a su vez instilado a su hijo George, quien sigue la noble tradición familiar y actualmente es curador del herbario G. B. Hinton. George comenzó a colectar con su padre en los 60's y desde hace poco más de 25 años registra toda la información del herbario en su computadora.
A Jaime le gustaba más colectar en las montañas; descubrió plantas que llevan su nombre en las cumbres más altas de Nuevo León, Coahuila, Michoacán, Guerrero y Oaxaca. En 1992, cuando tenía 77 años, subió al cerro El Viejo, en Zaragoza, Nuevo León, pasó la noche en la cima a 3,500 m s.n.m., habiendo dejado la camioneta a unos 1,000 metros más abajo. Llevaba siempre una libreta de apuntes de bolsillo, entre diversas anotaciones registraba detalles de sus expediciones botánicas, a partir de la primera de éstas llenó más de 120 libretas.
En la revista Mexican Life de mayo de 1939 Jaime relata que cuando tenía 23 años de edad, a instancias de su padre abandonó sus estudios universitarios de economía en Canadá dos años antes de terminar y volvió a México para apoyarlo en sus exploraciones botánicas. Pasó cinco años colaborando en esta actividad, recorriendo a lomo de mula las más remotas regiones de Guerrero y Michoacán. En una libreta de apuntes describió un viaje en avión que lo llevó, el 23 de julio de 1937, de la Ciudad de México a Coyuca de Catalán, Guerrero, donde se reunió con su padre. Los lugares y fechas mencionados en la libreta concuerdan con los datos de exploraciones efectuadas ese año después de su llegada. Jaime y su padre descubrieron más de 30 especies nuevas durante ese viaje. Con base en datos de sus libretas de apuntes creemos que las colectas realizadas en Guerrero a partir de abril de 1938 (GBH 14000 a GBH 14999) fueron hechas por Jaime mientras su padre estaba activo en Michoacán. Por ejemplo GBH 14520 de Carrizo - Santo Domingo, Galeana, Guerrero, y GBH 15031 de S. Torrecillas, Coalcomán, Michoacán, se obtuvieron el mismo día, el 30 de julio de 1939. Sabemos de 47 especies nuevas que fueron descritas de esas exploraciones en Guerrero.
Desde su llegada a México se registran aproximadamente 5,600 números de especímenes, de los que fueron descritas poco más de 200 novedades para la ciencia. Es difícil separar las colectas hechas por él de las de su padre. Una vez éste le propuso a Jaime añadir su nombre a las etiquetas del herbario pero él no aceptó, opinando que lo importante era el apellido Hinton.
En febrero de 1942, en Temascaltepec, Estado de México, se descubrió Eugenia alnifolia McVaugh, GBH 16292, el último tipo encontrado por Hinton et al. en el suroeste de México. Su padre murió en 1943 y Jaime no volvió a explorar en esa región. Los datos de las colectas hechas por James Hinton después de 1942 se presentan al final de esta semblanza.
En febrero de 1944 exploró la Sierra La Paila y los alrededores de Saltillo, Coahuila. También lo hizo en la Sierra de Anáhuac, cerca de Monterrey. En total fueron 414 números entre 1944 y 1949, empezando por GBH 16500. La mayoría de los ejemplares fue identificada por el personal del U. S. National Herbarium y por I. M. Johnston. Hay un tipo de esa época, el correspondiente a Cassia monozyx Irwin & Barneby.
Pasaron veinte años para que Jaime volviera a colectar plantas, pues se dedicó a trabajar para mantener a la familia que formó con Helen Hart, su esposa durante 63 años. En 1969 empezó a explorar en las inmediaciones de Cuernavaca, Morelos y en el cerro Potosí en Galeana, Nuevo León. Inició con el número GBH 17000. En 1969 y 1970 obtuvo 160 números en Morelos y otros 243 en Nuevo León, de los que se describieron seis especies nuevas del cerro Potosí, cuatro de ellas de la cima. Hizo 189 colectas en el municipio de Tenango del Aire, Estado de México y envió los duplicados de las mismas, para su identificación, a Jerzy Rzedowski, con quien después colaboró en la elaboración de una biografía de su padre G. B. Hinton. Rzedowski le sugirió recurrir a Billie L. Turner, de la Universidad de Texas, porque en Austin tenían la mejor colección del noreste de México. Desde que se conocieron, Jaime y Billie cultivaron una gran amistad perdurable a través del tiempo.
De 1971 a 2006 registró 5,693 números de colecta, principalmente en Nuevo León, Oaxaca, Tamaulipas, Coahuila y Estado de México. La localidad más visitada en Nuevo León fue el cerro El Viejo en Aramberri y Zaragoza, seguida por el cerro Grande en Aramberri. Otros lugares muestreados fueron: en Iturbide el camino entre Iturbide y Agua Blanca; en Galeana en el cerro El Gallo, San José de Las Joyas y Santa Rita; en Zaragoza en las inmediaciones de Peña Nevada; en Tamaulipas sobre el camino entre Güemes y Dulces Nombres; en Coahuila en Sierra La Marta y El Coahuilón. En 1995 y 1996, a los 81 años de edad, Jaime viajó tres veces desde su casa en el Municipio de Galeana, Nuevo León, a Oaxaca para explorar la región de Quiexobra. Allá hizo las últimas colectas botánicas de su vida.
La mayor parte de sus ejemplares fueron identificados por B. L. Turner, G. Nesom, G. Hinton, M. Mayfield, J. Rzedowski y J. Á. Villarreal. Además han contribuido varios especialistas: C. Todzia, J. & C. Reeder, J. Valdés-Reyna, T. P. Ramamoorthy, L. Constance, T. Wendt, P. A. Fryxell, David Hunt, J. Henrickson, J. T. Mickel, J. A. Encina, M. Martínez, P. M. Peterson, A. Hofer, R. Dicht, A. Lüthy, L. Hernández, J. Lüthy, A. Hempel, A. L. Ferrari, H. Luhrs y 109 botánicos más con menos de 20 identificaciones cada uno.
En su honor fueron nombrados un género y cinco especies: Jaimehintonia gypsophila B. L. Turner, Lupinus jaimehintonianus B. L. Turner, Muhlenbergia jaime-hintonii P. M. Peterson & Valdés-Reyna, Salvia jaimehintoniana Ramamoorthy ex B. L. Turner, Salvia jacobii Epling y Stachys jaimehintonii B. L. Turner.
De las colectas del noreste de México y Oaxaca se han descrito 116 nuevas especies y otras siete están en preparación. De éstas, 56 fueron colectadas por Jaime, 56 por George y 11 entre ambos.
Jaime Hinton conservó más de 5,200 especímenes de los obtenidos en años anteriores en el del suroeste de México (4,700 están en proceso de ser montadas), que incluye 241 tipos. En el herbario G. B. Hinton se encuentra incorporado además un duplicado de las colectas del noreste de México, por lo que actualmente cuenta con más de 16,000 ejemplares que incluyen 353 tipos (5 en preparación), 10 holotipos (2 en preparación) y un neotipo, total sobrepasado por pocas colecciones en México. Sus ejemplares se pueden encontrar en los herbarios: ANSM, ENCB, IEB y TEX.
Sus expediciones no eran un cómodo día de campo. En el citado artículo de la revista Mexican Life, Jaime comenta acerca de los preparativos para el viaje a Teotepec y del adverso ambiente en que estaría inmerso: varios días sin ver a otras personas; escasez de comida, de agua; atravesar profundas corrientes de agua cargando su equipaje; negrura total en la selva, sólo él y sus burros. ¿Qué mueve a un hombre a soportar incomodidades, penurias, soledad, en la altitud de frías montañas, en la espesura de exuberantes selvas, aguantar durante largas horas los quemantes rayos del sol? A Jaime lo movía la plena conciencia de su noble misión: colaborar a acrecentar el saber humano. No lo atraía el oropel de la fama, mucho menos la posibilidad de obtener remuneración por su labor; prodigó generosamente su tiempo, recursos y esfuerzo para darnos conocimientos sin esperar reconocimientos. La presente semblanza se complementa con algunos detalles biográficos de su extraordinaria vida.
Cuando Jaime estudió en Vancouver, Columbia Británica, practicó el canotaje a lo largo de la costa y en los ríos, la natación en el mar helado y el pugilismo; ganó competencias de natación en Alberta. Amaba la natación, siempre que estuvo cerca de una piscina y bajo cualquier condición climática, nadaba un kilómetro por día, y afirmaba que en 50 años habría llegado nadando a Canadá.
Como empresario, trabajó en Saltillo, Coahuila, donde fue gerente de la Guayulera y exploró la zona de la Sierra La Paila en busca de guayule, excursiones que aprovechaba para colectar plantas. En 1954 se movió a la ciudad de Monterrey, Nuevo León, donde trabajó como agente de ventas. En 1957 se mudó a Cuernavaca, Morelos, en donde vivió 21 años, durante los cuales fundó dos compañías en la Ciudad de México: una fabricante y distribuidora de productos químicos y la otra una surtidora industrial. Tuvo tres ranchos: en el Estado de México estableció una granja de pavos y una plantación de maguey; en Aguililla, Michoacán, una plantación de tomate y melones y en Nuevo León, en el rancho Aguililla cultivó trigo, alfalfa, papa y plantó un huerto de manzanos, duraznos y perales. Pasó mucho tiempo viajando por carretera para visitar sus ranchos y atender sus negocios. Conocía los números de casi todas las carreteras de México.
Una de sus aficiones preferidas era el escalar montañas. Llegó muchas veces a la cumbre del Popocatépetl y del Iztaccíhuatl. Tenía asombrosa condición física, una vez escaló el Potosí llevando en hombros a su pequeña hija Jamie. Escaló sin compañía el Pico de Orizaba donde pasó, comentaba, la noche más larga de su vida.
Le gustaba mucho construir. Al renovar su casa en Cuernavaca, una de las primeras modificaciones que hizo fue construir una piscina. En el rancho Aguililla edificó cuatro casas, una oficina, el herbario G. B. Hinton y su piscina. En su rancho en Tenango del Aire levantó una casa y un expendio de pulque.
Jaime heredó de su madre la confianza en las bondades del ayuno, lo practicó por diversas razones durante toda su vida; pasaba sin alimentos una semana cada año para purificar su organismo, sólo agua tomaba durante ese lapso.
Fue un prolífico escritor de novelas e historias cortas. De 1937 a 1941 publicó al menos 62 de estas últimas, cuatro con el seudónimo Andrés Mendoza. La mayoría se dio a conocer en México en la revista "Mexican Life", de la que Jaime era editor asociado. Durante su desempeño de tal cargo escribió la novela Some day shall be tomorrow. Durante sus últimos veinte años compuso 123 historias cortas, 22 fueron publicadas en diversas revistas; también fue autor de cinco novelas: Mandriagua (620,000 palabras); Flight of the Yaquis (193,000 palabras); Angela (337,000 palabras), Requiem (110,000 palabras) y Juan Caraveo (71,000 palabras), publicada en 2004.
En uno de sus cuentos, Lenina, publicado en la revista Snowy Egret, Jaime relata sus riesgosos intentos para recuperar a su querida mula negra Lenina, regalo de su padre y vengarse del sujeto que se la robó. En el epílogo detalla su petición al Dr. Carl Epling de nombrar una especie de Salvia en homenaje a su mula, pues ésta participó en el descubrimiento de casi todas las veinticuatro nuevas especies del mencionado género que él y su padre colectaron en la Sierra Madre del Sur. El Dr. Epling describió Salvia leninae en su honor.
Muchas de sus historias y novelas, escritas en su vejez, fueron ubicadas en el México rural que bien recordaba y mucho amaba. Cuando tenía 90 años se acordaba de nombres lejanos como Toro Muerto, Teotepec, Piedra Ancha, Nanchititla, Armenia, Plan de Carrizo, Cruz Pacífica y las distancias entre ellos medidas en días a lomo de mula.
De todas las especies que colectó, Jaime Hinton estaba quizá más asombrado por Lupinus jaimehintonianus. George recuerda decir a su papá "Imagina, un lupinus árbol". Hoy pensamos: "Imagina, ¡un Jaime Hinton!"

BLOEMGRACHT 20
(Sinds okt 2014 in zijgevel van hoekhuis Bloemgracht/1ste Leliedwarsstraat)
In 1614, bij de uitgifte van de nieuw gerooide erven aan de Bloemgracht door Burgemeesteren en Thesaurieren, wordt door Franchoijs Gisep (later Jesop), waarschijnlijk huistimmerman, het erf nr. 45 gekocht voor fl. 514:4:3.
Hij laat daar twee huizen bouwen, elk bijna 4 meter breed, en als in 1625 Franchoijs Jesop de panden verkoopt luidt de omschrijving: ‘twee huizen en erven, staande naast elkaar op een gemeenschappelijke muur, op de Bloemgracht, genaamd “ De Duijff met den Olijfftak”.
Koper is Jan Gerritsz Puijt, van beroep gezworen roedrager van Amsterdam. In een verklaring uit 1613 betreffende de geringe aanvoer van turf in de stad blijkt dat Puijt in dat jaar impostmeester van de turf was.
Via vererving van Jan Gerritsz Puijt, hij was op 26 augustus 1636 overleden en in de Oude Kerk begraven, komt het bezit, of in ieder geval 1/3 part in de volgende percelen, bij verkoop in maart 1686, in handen van Jan Gregorius van den Broek:
een huis en erf op het Singel hoek Gasthuismolensteeg, een huis en erf op de Bloemgracht ‘de ARKE NOE’ in de gevel, een huis en erf in de Nieuwe Leliestraat, achter het huis ‘de ARKE NOE’ , een huis en erf in de Gravenstraat en nog een huis in de Nieuwe Leliestraat, naast het eerder genoemde.
Van den Broek was al eerder eigenaar geworden van 1/3 van bovengenoemde panden. In de akte van maart 1686 wordt ons pand dus niet meer omschreven als ‘twee huizen en erven, genaamd ‘De Duijff met den Olijftak’, maar als 1 huis en erf met ‘De Arke Noe’ in de gevel.
Kunnen we hieruit concluderen dat er een verbouwing heeft plaats gehad….? Bleef de gevelsteen met de grote duif op het dak van de ark gehandhaafd met een andere tekst eronder…?
In 1701 verkoopt Susanna Bon, echtgenote van Jan Gregorius van den Broek het ‘huis en erf “De Ark van Noach” in de gevel. Koper, voor fl. 4030.-.- is Sander van Langelaar, bakker van beroep. Kennelijk is hij later van beroep veranderd want als hij in 1711 het pand verkoopt luidt de omschrijving: een huis en grutterij daarachter en erf met zijn grutmolen en gereedschappen, “de Ark van Noach” in de gevel, en waar nu ‘de Nieuwe Grutterij’ uithangt.
Koper in 1711 is de grutter Jan van Guttekove, hij betaald fl.8030.-.- In het register van de Personele Quotisatie (1742) wordt hij als bewoner genoemd: J.Guttekove, beroep grutter, 2 dienstboden, 1 koets, 2 paarden en een inkomen van fl. 2500.-.- In alle volgende koop/verkoopaktes wordt het pand als grutterij omschreven, met alle losse en vaste gereedschappen tot de grutterij behorende.
In een akte van 1793 wordt zowat de hele inventaris beschreven: 4 grote bakken met laden, 2 halve bakken, een toonbank, schalen, trechters, balans, scheppers, maten, vaatjes, manden etc. De koop/verkoopprijs van het bedrijf is dan fl.16500.-.-, contant te voldoen.
In 1875 tekent Jhr. Suasso de gevelsteen en noteert: Basrelief boven de 1ste verdieping, een duif met een tak in de bek, eronder D ARKE NOACH.
Hij was er op tijd bij want in 1877 vindt er een totale verbouwing/ vernieuwing van het pand plaats, met beneden een winkelruimte en daarboven twee woonetages, bekroond door een mansardekap met dakvenster. Boven het middenvenster van de eerste verdieping was het jaartal 1877 aangebracht en op oude foto’s is te zien dat op de puibalk de tekst DE UTRECHTSCHE GRUTTERY stond.
Bij deze verbouwing zijn de gevelsteen en de losse tekststeen gelukkig bewaard gebleven en werden ingemetseld in de muur van de binnenplaats. De tekststeen werd boven de steen met de grote duif ingemetseld.
DE GEVELSTEEN
De steen, die in 1868 door Van Lennep en Ter Gouw, en in 1875 door Jhr. Suasso beschreven werd, stelt, zoals zij ook zeggen, een grote duif voor met een olijftak in de snavel, zittend op iets dat de nok van de ark voor moet stellen.
In 2008 werd de VVAG benaderd door de antiquair Rob Bruil; hij had een gevelsteen in zijn bezit en wilde advies voor restauratie. Toen wij een foto ontvingen was het direct duidelijk, het was de zwaar beschadigde steen met duif van het binnenplaatsje van Bloemgracht 20.
Hoe en wanneer en via wie de antiquair de steen verworven had, kon of wilde hij niet zeggen, maar de VVAG kon de steen voor een redelijke prijs overnemen.
Bij de restauratie door Jan Hilbers, de tekststeen was zoekgeraakt, heeft hij de nok van de ark, zoals Van Lennep en Ter Gouw het noemden, deel laten uitmaken van een ‘echte’ ark met Noach die uit een van de vensters kijkt naar de zojuist gelande duif met een olijftak, zoals beschreven in Genesis 8, vs 11.
In het aangeheelde deel heeft Jan Hilbers ook de tekst D’ARKE NOACH aangebracht. Daar in de gevel van het pand Bloemgracht 20 geen plaats was voor de herstelde steen is het reliëf, in overleg met Y-mere begin september 2014 ingemetseld in hun pand op de hoek van de Bloemgracht en de 1ste Leliedwarsstraat .

Chocques was occupied by Commonwealth forces from the late autumn of 1914 to the end of the war. The village was at one time the headquarters of I Corps and from January 1915 to April 1918, No.1 Casualty Clearing Station was posted there. Most of the burials from this period are of casualties who died at the clearing station from wounds received at the Bethune front. From April to September 1918, during the German advance on this front, the burials were carried out by field ambulances, divisions and fighting units.

The 15 year old Algernon, (born Ixworth Suffolk), is recorded serving as a School Boy \ Ships cadet on the 1901 census. The ship he was on was moored on the River Thames off Greenhithe, Kent.
(See this Wiki article on the training ship - the mystery would be why Algernon ended up serving as a lowly gunner in the army.)

Large numbers of British troops were captured during the second phase of the German Spring Offensive. The 12th Suffolks were certainly in the front-line as the German assault troops and ferocious barrage forced the collapse of the Portugese Army in their sector.
One of the units of the corps brigade was the 11th Suffolks, who were rushed forward to help out on the 40th Divisional front, and soon found themselves fighting alongside the 12th.. The 11th suffered 500 casualties, killed wounded and missing., and undoubtedly the 12th suffered in similar numbers.
(The next headstone is for brother Lacey, who died December 7th 1915, aged 30. There is nothing to indicate that his death was war related and he does not appear on the CWGC database).

Accompanying notes
Lance Corporal Jowlings was born at Potash Farm, Hethel, on 17th February 1894. He was educated at the King Edward VI Middle School in Norwich. He enlisted on 12th January 1916 and died of wounds at the 5th C.C. Station in France on 22nd November 1917
On the Great War Roll of Honour, he is recorded as Ernest S.
On the 1901 census, the 7 year old Sydney, born Hethel, is recorded at Loddon Road, Norton Subcourse. This is the household of his parents, Ernest R, (aged 35 and a Farmer from London), and Marion, (aged 39 and from Thuxton). The Jowlings also have a daughter, Ida, (aged 11 and born Hingham).

The 12th Division were the right division of the IVth Corps, and the 20th Division were on the left of the 12th Division. On the immediate flank of the Division, the 166th Brigade, 55th Division of III Corps advanced 3 or 4 small posts. Dor this attack the Battalion, minus “B” Coy were in Brigade Reserve. The Brigade attacked on a front of two battalions: 5th R.Berks on right, 9th Essex Rgt on left and the 7th Suffolk Regt were ordered to leapfrog the left battalion and take the HINDERBUG MAIN LINE.
Our casualties were slight. Captain C W Archdale was killed, SecLieuts A L Hogarth-Swan and D T Hedges being wounded. Other Ranks:-killed 6, Wounded 24, Missing 6.
Trenches November 21st to the 28th 1917.
During these eight days following the successful attack of the IIIth Corps, the Hun was extremely quiet doing very little shelling on our part of the line. We relieved the front line Battn.

Military Genealogy records Harry Albert as being born Scoulton and residing Thuxton.
The 1901 census has an 8 year old Harry, born Carbrooke, recorded at 39 Cooper Road, Willesden, Middlesex. This is the household of his parents, Albert J, (aged 39 and from Carbrooke. Census takers hand-writing is awful, but it looks like occupation is listed as “None”, although he is also described as a worker), and Eleanor, aged 29 and from Carbrooke. Their other children are:-
Mary Jane…………………aged 6.………………born Carbrooke
Lily………………………..aged 3.………………born Carbrooke
Frederick George…………aged 1.……………….born Carbrooke
However, on the 1911 census Harry Albert Newson, born circa 1893, is shown as born Scoulton. He was then resident in the district of St Faiths, Norfolk.
Note, if he was born in 1893 he could not have been 27 in July 1918. However, there are no obvious matches on the censuses for England and Wales for someone of the right age. For the person on the CWGC database, and the age is consistant with that on the memorial.

No match on Norlink
The 2 year old “Jessie” A, born Dereham, is recorded on the 1901 census at 16 Adcocks Yard, Baxter Row, East Dereham. This is the household of his Grand-Parents, Charles, (aged 62 and a General labourer from Dereham), and Kate, (aged 55 and from Walton, Norfolk). Living with them is their daughter, Lucy E, single, aged 25 and employed as a General Domestic Servant. Lucy was born Scarning. There is also another Grandson - John E A Ward, (aged 4 and from Scarning). Given the information on the CWGC database entry, the likely scenario is that Lucy is Jesse’s mother, and it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to assume John is her son as well.
There is a possible match in the baptismal records of St Nicholas, East Dereham, although the entry has apparently suffered over the years. A boy child, Jesse, born 7th May 1898, was baptised in the church on the 6th July 1899. Mothers name is partially legible -L??? Elizabeth. However, no maiden name is given for the mother and the father is listed as a John Ward, who was a ??? Labourer. The family reside at Northall Green..

5938 Private William Young 8th Btn. East Lancashire Regiment. Victoria Cross.
Fonquevillers France Dec 22nd 1915
For most conspicuous bravery. On seeing that his sergeant had been wounded, he left his truck to attend to him under heavy fire. The wounded NCO requested him to get under cover, but he refused and was almost immediately very seriously wounded by having both jaws shattered. Notwithstanding his terrible injuries he continued endeavouring to effect the rescue upon which he had set his mind, and eventually succeeded with the aid of another soldier. He then went unaided to the dressing station where it was discovered that he has also been wounded by a rifle bullet in the chest. The great fortitude, determination, courage and devotion to duty displayed by this soldier could hardly have been surpassed.
Young died 8 months later of the wounds he received in winning the V.C. and is buried in Preston cemetery. His Victoria Cross is on display in the Museum of Lancashire... Here

This rather nice lorry is Norman McKenzies 1970 Dodge KT900 6x4 22-tonner which he has almost finished restoring .
The engine is a Perkins V8-510, the gearbox is a Rootes 5-speed synchro and the rear axles are Eaton 16500 two-speeders on Hendrickson suspension.
Norman took the picture and I thought some of my Flickr-friends would like to see this lovely tipper.
Les BB 12000 sont une série de locomotives électriques fonctionnant sous courant alternatif monophasé 25 kV-50 Hz.
Suite à l'expérimentation de la traction par courant à fréquence industrielle (50 Hz) en Haute-Savoie, elles constituent la première génération de machines de ce type, avec les autres séries : BB 13000, CC 14000 et CC 14100.
Construites à 148 exemplaires pour la SNCF par la société MTE à partir de 1954, ces locomotives monocabines doivent leur surnom de « fers à repasser » à leur profil caractéristique. Certains cheminots les appelaient « coupe-jambon » à cause de leur manipulateur de traction en forme de disque de coupe jambon.
Elles sont entrées en service en premier sur la transversale Nord-Est (ligne Valenciennes-Thionville) à l'occasion de son électrification en courant industriel (25 kV, 50 Hz), aussi bien sur des trains de voyageurs (omnibus, express) que des trains de marchandises.
Les diverses électrifications du Nord-Est leur ont valu de voir leur domaine s'élargir progressivement ; mais l'arrivée de machines plus modernes et plus aptes à la vitesse (BB 16500 et surtout BB 16000) a restreint leut activité à la traction des trains de marchandises.
Leur remarquable conception, ainsi que la bonne tenue du fret à la fin des années 1990 leur a permis de voir leur carrière allongée. Les dernières machines de cette série ont en effet été radiées en janvier 2000.
Machines conservées (2005)
* BB 12004, garée à Ascq, préservée par l'AAATV de Lille
* BB 12032, exposée à Méricourt (Pas-de-Calais)
* BB 12035, on entend parfois que cette machine est préservée par le VVT (Vapeur du Val de Travers, en Suisse), mais ce n'est pas le cas. Il semblerait qu'elle soit parquée à Pontarlier, peut-être grâce au CFTPV (aussi appelé Coni'fer) ?

as written on the sign:
BaralachLa 'means this big pass' located in Greater Himalayas as at an alt 16500 ft above MSL. Both River Chandra and Bhaga originate from this pass and become ChandraBhaga at Tandi and renamed as Chenab in Doda district of J & K
Bara-lacha la is a high mountain pass in Zanskar range, connecting Lahaul district in Himachal Pradesh to Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir, situated along the Leh-Manali highway.
The Bhaga river, a tributary of the Chandrabhaga or Chenab river, originates from Surya taal lake, which is situated a few kilometers from the pass towards Manali. The other major tributary of the Chandrabhaga, the Chandra also originates from glacier in this region. The pass also acts as a water-divide between the Bhaga river and the Yunam river.
The prayer flags:
A prayer flag is a colorful panel of rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas. They are used to bless the surrounding countryside and for other purposes.
The prayer flag tradition is ancient, dating back thousands of years in India and to the shamanistic Bon tradition of pre-Buddhist Tibet. Bonpo priests used solid colored cloth flags, perhaps with their magical symbols, to balance the elements both internally and externally. The 5 colors of prayer flags represent the 5 basic elements: yellow-earth, green–water, red-fire, white-air, blue-space. Balancing these elements externally brings harmony to the environment. Balancing the elements internally brings health to the body and the mind.
Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to gods, a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all.
As the Buddhist spiritual approach is non-theistic, the elements of Tantric iconography do not stand for external beings, but represent aspects of enlightened mind i.e. compassion, perfect action, fearlessness, etc.
By hanging flags in high places the 'Lung ta' (horse on the flag) will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings. As wind passes over the surface of the flags which are sensitive to the slightest movement of the wind, the air is purified and sanctified by the Mantras.
The prayers of a flag become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure to the elements. Just as life moves on and is replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by continually mounting new flags alongside the old. This act symbolizes a welcoming of life's changes and an acknowledgment that all beings are part of a greater ongoing cycle.
Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are sacred, they should be treated with respect. They should not be placed on the ground or used in clothing. Old prayer flags should be burned.

"A View from the Truck's Windshield"
This was one incredible ride & by all means this story & experience is unforgettable....
Here's the background of the journey on this truck, that was carrying Cement sacks, Long Iron Poles, Electricity wires and ME.
I reached a place called Panikhar (Near Kargil) & had plans to goto Padum (the capital of Zanskar Region - in Kashmir)
The distance from Panikhar to Padum was around 200km...
Story at Panikhar: The manager of the tourist bungalow told me taxis leave for Padum at Early morning by 7AM.. got up by 6:30AM to find all taxis were gone... somehow one taxi was still there but the driver was going opposite direction to Panikhar therefore he dropped me to a check post & told me to wait for any transport & take a hike ... I agreed.
The Truck: The truck arrived at that check post & the driver agreed to take me to Padum whole heartily as he did not have any company. We became friends within few minutes and were yelling our stories loudly with enthusiasm because the truck's engine was too noisy & the truck kept on bumping due to terrible roads.... anyone reading this story who's not happy with their cars ...please take its ride on Kargil-Padum Road... & kiss your car goodbye...
The shot above has not been post processed... it was taken within the truck while it was still moving (or call it driving) there was a point when my breathing actually stopped... had to inhale exhale to keep me going --- simple reason --- the altitude at that point was more than 16500 feet & it was freezing.. the window of the truck's door at my side could not be closed & the it was DAMN cold... this shot was taken before we reached a Magnificent place called Pensi La pass. I took a shot of the Pass from the truck while it was moving on the road .. this is the shot of Pensi La pass @ www.flickr.com/photos/udayankapur/3979863335/in/set-72157...
After we crossed Pensi La Pass: Me & Ramesh (that is the truck driver's Name) saw a nomad's house... I told him that I need to have tea & taught him how to gate crash a nomad's home (Done it many times)
@ Nomad's Home there were 3 ladies a Mom & her 2 daughters) ... ok here comes an UNBELIEVABLE part.... They did NOT understand our Language.... I'm DEAD Serious.... ALL they understood was Chai (Meaning TEA) and Metha (Meaning Sugar) ... rest what happened was all of us kept laughing away non-stop :-))
It was getting Dark by that time & Ramesh had to drop some part of cement & the iron rods to villages before Padum, basically his company had taken up a contract to erect electricity poles in that region... you bet..... this REGION does NOT have mobile connections, electricity, hospitals, roads... basically its a nomad area with beautiful & warm people....
Ramesh told me we have to halt mid-way as it was too dark to drive on the rough road. His helper Lad had one room in a small village near the main road & Ramesh Cooked Rice & Dal (Curry) for me & his companion & 3 us shared one room.... and had a sound sleep... we had a snoring competition :-))
LOLzzzzzzz
Next morning Ramesh made Tea for us and we started towards Padum... on the way the people took rides in the truck simply because their local transport bus did not arrive (there is only one bus that applies on that route 6 times a week)
I had fun meeting different people on the way .....
We did reach Padum late afternoon but the journey was BEYOND I could expect... the driver of the truck was as friendly as any of my friend, the journey was indeed unforgettable ... There is more to this story... but for now... I'm feeling as if I WAS there again :-)
HARBOR GATEWAY - At 3:49 AM on Saturday, March 20, 2021, LAFD responded to a physical rescue at the 16500 block of South Vermont Avenue, where black sedan collided with a pole. Firefighters quickly extricated the patient and transported to the hospital. Unknown age/gender/condition.
