Angus will be away over Christmas serving on Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer HMS Daring which is on a nine-month global deployment. The Portsmouth-based ship will be alongside in Singapore during the festive period with sailors being able to call and Skype their families from ashore.
HMS Daring most recently took part in Op Patwin where she was the first UK warship to arrive at the Philippines following the devastating typhoon. She gave immediate assistance to communities on remote islands – delivering food, water, tarpaulins and shelter kits as well as providing medical care with medics from Save the Children.
Angus usually spends Christmas Day with his family in Southsea – and this year will be flying them out to meet the ship in Singapore instead.
“The day starts with church then opening presents, having a large festive lunch and going for a long walk,” he said.
“We usually spend the day with our parents, siblings and extended families. My favourite thing about the day is watching the children open their presents and I am really privileged that I don’t miss out on that this year as they fly out to see me.”
His Christmas message to his family:
“I am looking forward to spending Christmas with you in Singapore – see you in a week!”

Maj. Gen. Robert J. Kasulke addresses the AR-MEDCOM Commanders Training Workshop Feb. 11 in Tampa, Fla.

Col. Alfonso Alarcon, U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) Command Surgeon, attended the Army Reserve Medical Command’s (AR-MEDCOM) Commanders Training Workshop (CTW) Feb. 11 in Tampa, Fla., on behalf of USARAF Commander, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg.
He addressed 340 senior leaders from the AR-MEDCOM during the opening day of the three-day conference to describe USARAF’s missions and to stress how their medical talents are producing positive results throughout his command’s area of operations.
“There are a lot of great opportunities for medical professionals within USARAF,” Alarcon told the audience.
“Our continued success is made possible through collaboration with AR-MEDCOM and other reserve component organization. The medical difference they have made in Africa is huge,” he said.
USARAF is the Army Service Component Command for the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). It enables AFRICOM to complete full spectrum operations while conducting sustained security engagement with African land forces to promote security, stability and peace on the continent. The mission in Africa is principally one of capacity building; there are no large military forces stationed there for conflict. A main goal of USARAF and AFRICOM is to prevent conflict in the region, Alarcon said.
Part of the mission involves promoting good will through medical assistance to nations on the continent through Medical Readiness and Training Exercises (MEDRETE) or MEDFLAG missions.
MEDRETE provides overseas deployment and field medical training to Reserve component and active duty Soldiers who provide medical, dental, veterinary, optometry and preventive medicine care to the partnering host nation, he said.
MEDFLAG missions provide medical training and facilitate an interchange of medical information and techniques with host nation medical personnel in targeted African nations. MEDFLAG exercises are beneficial to both U.S. participants, who are able to practice field medicine and treat health problems they may not have seen before, as well as to the host nation, because of the health services provided to a substantial number of patients.
Over the past 21 years, 33 MEDFLAGs have been conducted in 26 countries. AR-MEDCOM most recently participated in MEDFLAGs in the Democratic Republic of Congo in September 2010, and in Uganda in October 2009.
Alarcon discussed some of the successes AR-MEDCOM helped USARAF achieve. He quoted Luzolo Bambi, Minister of Justice and Human Rights for the Democratic Republic of Congo: “It is my hope that our respective national organizations will learn something about each other as they work together over the coming weeks. In the end, it is about saving lives and minimizing human suffering in the event of a disaster,” he said.
Minimizing human suffering is a USARAF guiding principle in addition to adding value to people’s lives; presenting positive impressions; and developing strong relationships with African partner nations, he said.
To complete its mission, USARAF depends on help from the Guard and Reserve, Alarcon said.
As an Army Service Component Command, USARAF has a staff of more than 500 military and civilian personnel engaged in planning and running missions, but has no organic forces to carry them out. USARAF relies on troop allocations from Department of Defense, Department of Army and the Reserve Component to carry out the missions it plans, he said.
“It was a pretty interesting briefing,” said Col. Paul Malinda, commander of the 4005th U.S. Army Hospital from Lovick, Texas. “I really didn’t really know anything about USARAF or AFRICOM. I didn’t know what they did; I didn’t realize there were all those opportunities for training over there.”
Other attendees expressed similar responses.
“It was really enlightening for me,” said Master Sgt. Antony Nunn, acting command sergeant major for the 7305th Medical Support Battalion, Sacramento, Calif. “It is a great way to train my Soldiers, do a lot of good in the region and be beneficial to the United States in fostering good will.”
Nunn said he felt an AT (advanced training) in Africa would be better than many he’s had in his career.
“We’d be doing a real world mission for people who do not have access to health care. It’s very rewarding to the Soldiers to know they are helping somebody who otherwise would not get that care,” he said. “It’s an excellent opportunity for training, for morale and for camaraderie amongst the units.”
“I think a lot of our medics and nurses need to get involved in what’s going on there,” said Col. Irma H. Cooper, 7305th unit commander. “It’s a great contribution to the countries there, their stability and our readiness.”
Alarcon, who was invited to the CTW by the AR-MEDCOM planning staff, highlighted how Africa is a continent with complex challenges, but is a progressive continent with unlimited potential, especially with continued support from the AR-MEDCOM.

This could be (*) the original wooden cross placed at the head of the grave of James Clutterbuck, before the introduction of the IWGC headstone.
It hangs on the wall of the church of St Nicholas of Myra at Ozleworth, Gloucestershire.

Killed in Action

"Second Lieutenant JAMES EDWARD POWER-CLUTTERBUCK, Royal Field Artillery, attached R.F.C., killed in action, was the son of Mrs Power-Clutterbuck of Newark park, Gloucestershire, lady of the manor of Ozleworth ... Flight Global
At around 6.40pm on Monday 25th June 1917, he was flying in a plane being piloted by Lieutenant Leslie Bowman, near Le Bizet, France, (as the observer/gunner, probably spotting enemy positions for the artillery) when they were attacked and shot down. Both men were killed.
Their plane, a Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8, was the 56th victim of 'The Red Baron', Manfed von Richthofen, commander of fighter wing JG 1 (Jagdgeschwader I).
"Karl Allmenröder ... watched for intruders while his commander (Richthofen) dived on R.E.8 A3847 of No. 53 Squadron, and at 17.35 sent it crashing down into the trenches near Le Bizet" (The Red Baron: Beyond the Legend - Peter Kilduff 1994)
(Note: German time was one hour ahead of British time which probably accounts for the different times given above)

* There is a similar cross on the wall of Elmore church, Gloucestershire. The guide book there states that the cross in that church was a replica, placed by a grieving mother.
There is nothing in (my copy of) the guide book of Olzleworth church to confirm one way or the other.

A note on the the Newark Park estate:
It "sits at the southern end of the Cotswold escarpment overlooking the unspoilt Ozleworth valley. The estate comprises the Mansion House, two farms, eight cottages and some 700 acres. It was given to the National Trust … in 1949 by Mrs Power-Clutterbuck in memory of her son James Edward Power-Clutterbuck who was killed in the First World War. The Clutterbuck family acquired the property in 1769."

On World War 1 Memorials
"The traditional social means of coping with death had been suppressed, and war memorials and monuments emerged as new rituals of mourning. War memorials in various communities began to give voice to the feelings of grief and to acknowledge the losses of the war. Memorials and remembrance ceremonies were state organized mourning rituals, but they were publicly fuelled. After the war, then, the bereaved demanded that the nation provide ceremonies and shrines to assure them that their losses had not been forgotten."
Rituals of Mourning: Bereavement, Grief and Mourning in the First World War:
Christine Bourchier
-------------------
"The commissioning of memorials occurred through a wide range of national and local institutions, reflecting local political traditions; funding was similarly disparate, with most countries relying heavily on local charitable contributions to cover the costs of construction. War cemeteries and memorials to particularly significant battles, however, were typically centrally controlled and funded by the state. The war encouraged the creation of new forms of memorial. Lists of memorial names, reflecting the huge scale of the losses, were a common feature, while Tombs of the Unknown Soldier containing a selected, unidentified body, and empty cenotaph monuments commemorated the numerous unidentifiable corpses and those servicemen whose bodies were never found."
wikipedia article
-------------------
"Those who died in the Hell of No-Man's-Land during attacks, would have lain where they fell until; there was a truce or the ground was taken - perforce left where they fell in both cases until the burial details of either side could reach the corpses safely or until the pitiful remains were either buried or blown to pieces by artillery bombardments."
What happened to the Soldiers in WW1 after they died? (Yahoo Answers)
"Often have I picked up the remains of a fine brave man on a shovel. Just a little heap of bones and maggots to be carried to the common burial place. Numerous bodies were found lying submerged in the water in shell holes and mine craters; bodies that seemed quite whole, but which became like huge masses of white, slimy chalk when we handled them. I shuddered as my hands, covered in soft flesh and slime, moved about in search of the disc, and I have had to pull bodies to pieces in order that they should not be buried unknown. It was very painful to have to bury the unknown."
Clearing the Dead (Peter E. Hodgkinson)
"They were often buried where they fell in action, or in a burial ground on or near the battlefield. A simple cross or marker might be put up to mark the location and give brief details of the individuals who had died."
War Graves (& Memorials) for WW1 Dead on The Western Front (The Great War 1914-1918)
"Grave registration in the field fell squarely on the shoulders of the unit Chaplains. They were responsible for filling out the proper form (AF W3314) that included the information about the grave, and forwarding to both the DADGR&E (Deputy Assistant Director of Graves Registration and Enquiries) and the DAGGHQ (Deputy Adjutant General, General Headquarters) 3rd Echelon. Information submitted included map references using the 1/40000 or 1/20000 trench maps, or detail descriptions of localities on the back of the form, in addition to the usually expected basics such as the man's name, unit etc. He was also responsible for the marking of the graves."

The Dead Man's Penny:
"The plaque was sent out to relatives in an On His Majesty's Service white envelope with a printed Official Paid stamp. Inside this outer envelope there was another white envelope with the Royal Crest embossed on the reverse enclosing a letter with a copy of King George V's signature. The letter was written as follows:
Buckingham Palace
I join my grateful people in
sending you this memorial of a
brave life given for others in the Great War.
George R.I."
Inside the outer envelope a cardboard envelope protected the bronze plaque.

Rasul Dad, the deputy commander of an illegal militia, patrolling the roads of Ghor on motorbikes. The men, loyal to Haji Abdul Rahman, escorted The Times, also travelling by motorbike, to the Minaret of Jam. The Provincial Police Chief, General Khodayar Qudsi, said there are more than 150 similar groups of varying sizes, which have been accused of raping, killing, stealing and taxing traffic on the roads across the mountainous province. Haji Rahman, 66, denied accusations of wrongdoing, but said sometimes lorry drivers would make donations to his gunmen who offered similar escorts through dangerous territory.
Had to kill time at work, yet still make it look like I was working... so I did this.
I just watched the 1939 version of "The Four Feathers" and now I'm convinced the Commander McBragg character was based on C. Aubrey Smith's character in that movie!

My old custom clones had to go. The sharpie was smearing, and the stickers were peeling. Not to mention I was rather embarrassed by their poor quality despite the fact that they looked decent when animated. This is my new and improved version of Commander Thire. The regular troopers are just there because I didn't end up making any K Company troopers to go with him. I forgot to decal the microbinoculars so the old one is being used as a replacement in this shot.
