«Chi sà oggi percepire la poesia come presenza umana accompagnata dal mistero dell'unicità? Quanti sanno tacere con la parola, serbandola anche nello spazio dell'intervallo, nella sua apertura prendendo sonorità da ciò che è sordo, esplicando nelle sistole le diastole, maniaca nello stesso tempo di mondo e di infinità -lingua, come ha detto una volta Valèri, in statu nascendi, lingua che sta per divenire libera- e, se posso aggiungere, lingua in statu moriendi, lingua di chi cerca di acquistare il mondo perché -credo sia un sogno antico della poesia- spera di diventare libero dal mondo, libero dalla contingenza.»

In 1113 Pisa and the Pope Paschal II set up, together with the count of Barcelona and other contingents from Provence and Italy (Genoese excluded), a war to free the Balearic Islands from the Moors: the queen and the king of Majorca were brought in chains to Tuscany. Even though the Almoravides soon reconquered the island, the booty taken helped the Pisans in their magnificent program of buildings, especially the cathedral, and Pisa gained a role of pre-eminence in the Western Mediterranean.
In the following years the mighty Pisan fleet, led by archbishop Pietro Moriconi, drove away the Saracens after ferocious combats. Though short-lived, this success of Pisa in Spain increased the rivalry with Genoa. Pisa's trade with the Languedoc and Provence (Noli, Savona, Fréjus and Montpellier) were an obstacle to the Genoese interests in cities like Hyerés, Fos, Antibes and Marseille.
The war began in 1119 when the Genoese attacked several galleys on their way to the motherland, and lasted until 1133. The two cities fought each other on land and at sea, but hostilities were limited to raids and pirate-like assaults.
In June 1135, Bernard of Clairvaux took a leading part in the Council of Pisa, asserting the claims of pope Innocent II against those of pope Anacletus II, who had been elected pope in 1130 with Norman support but was not recognized outside Rome. Innocent II resolved the conflict with Genoa, establishing the sphere of influence of Pisa and Genoa. Pisa could then, unhindered by Genoa, participate in the conflict of Innocent II against king Roger II of Sicily. Amalfi, one of the Maritime Republics ((though already declining under Norman rule), was conquered on August 6, 1136: the Pisans destroyed the ships in the port, assaulted the castles in the surrounding areas and drove back an army sent by Roger from Aversa. This victory brought Pisa to the peak of its power and to a standing equal to Venice. Two years later its soldiers sacked Salerno.
In the following years Pisa was one of the staunchest supporters of the Ghibelline party. This was much appreciated by Frederick I. He issued in 1162 and 1165 two important documents, with the following grants: apart from the jurisdiction over the Pisan countryside, the Pisans were granted freedom of trade in the whole Empire, the coast from Civitavecchia to Portovenere, a half of Palermo, Messina, Salerno and Naples, the whole Gaeta, Mazzarri and Trapani, and a street with houses for its merchants in every city of the Kingdom of Sicily. Some of these grants were later confirmed by Henry VI, Otto IV and Frederick II. They marked the apex of Pisa's power, but also spurred the resentment of cities like Lucca, Massa, Volterra and Florence, who saw their aim to expand towards the sea thwarted. The clash with Lucca also concerned the possession of the castle of Montignoso and mainly the control of the Via Francigena, the main trade route between Rome and France. Last but not least, such a sudden and large increase of power of Pisa could only lead to another war with Genoa.
Genoa had acquired a largely dominant position in the markets of the Southern France. The war began presumably in 1165 on the Rhône, when an attack on a convoy, directed to some Pisan trade centres on the river, by the Genoese and their ally, the count of Toulouse failed. Pisa on the other hand was allied to the Provence. The war continued until 1175 without significant victories. Another point of attrition was Sicily, where both the cities had privileges granted by Henry VI. In 1192 Pisa managed to conquer Messina. This episode was followed by a series of battles culminating in the Genoese conquest of Syracuse in 1204. Later the trading posts in Sicily were lost when the new Pope Innocent III, though removing the excommunication cast over Pisa by his predecessor Celestine III, allied himself with the Guelph League of Tuscany, led by Florence. Soon he stipulated a pact with Genoa too, further weaking the Pisa presence in Southern Italy.
To counter the Genoese predominance in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Pisa strengthened its relationship with their Spanish and French traditional bases (Marseille, Narbonne, Barcelona, etc.) and tried to defy the Venetian rule of the Adriatic Sea. In 1180 the two cities had agreed to a non-aggression treaty in the Tyrrhenian and the Adriatic, but the death of Emperor Manuel Comnenus in Constantinople changed the situation. Soon there were attacks on Venetian convoys. Pisa signed trade and political pacts with Ancona, Pula, Zara, Split and Brindisi: in 1195 a Pisan fleet reached Pola to defend its independence from Venice, but the Serenissima managed soon to reconquer the rebel sea town.
One year later the two cities signed a peace treaty which resulted in favourable conditions for Pisa. But in 1199 the Pisans violated it by blockading the port of Brindisi in Puglia. But in the following naval battle they were defeated by the Venetians. The war that followed ended in 1206 with a treaty in which Pisa gave up all its hopes to expand in the Adriatic, though it maintained the trading posts it had established in the area. From that point on the two cities were united against the rising power of Genoa and sometimes collaborated to increase the trading benefits in Constantinople.
[edit] 13th century
In 1209 and 1217 there were in Lerici two councils for a final resolution of the rivalry with Genoa. A twenty-year peace treaty was signed. But when in 1220 the emperor Frederick II confirmed his supremacy over the Tyrrhenian coast from Civitavecchia to Portovenere, the Genoese and Tuscanian resentment against Pisa grew again. In the following years Pisa clashed with Lucca in Garfagnana and was defeated by the Florentines at Castel del Bosco. The strong Ghibelline position of Pisa brought this town diametrically against the Pope, who was in a strong dispute with the Empire. And indeed the pope tried to deprive the town of its dominions in Northern Sardinia.
In 1238 Pope Gregory IX formed an alliance between Genoa and Venice against the Empire, and consequently against Pisa too. One year later he excommunicated Frederick II and called for an anti-Empire council to be held in Rome in 1241. On May 3, 1241, a combined fleet of Pisan and Sicilian ships, led by the Emperor's son Enzo, attacked a Genoese convoy carrying prelates from Northern Italy and France, next to the Isola del Giglio, in front of Tuscany: the Genoese lost 25 ships, while about thousand sailors, two cardinals and one bishop were taken prisoner. After this outstanding victory the council in Rome failed, but Pisa was excommunicated. This extreme measure was only removed in 1257. Anyway, the Tuscan city tried to take advantage of the favourable situation to conquer the Corsican city of Aleria and even lay siege to Genoa itself in 1243.
The Ligurian republic of Genoa, however, recovered fast from this blow and won back Lerici, conquered by the Pisans some years earlier, in 1256.
The great expansion in the Mediterranean and the prominence of the merchant class urged a modification in the city's institutes. The system with consuls was abandoned and in 1230 the new city rulers named a Capitano del Popolo ("People's Chieftain") as civil and military leader. In spite of these reforms, the conquered lands and the city itself were harassed by the rivalry between the two families of Della Gherardesca and Visconti. In 1237 the archbishop and the Emperor Frederick II intervened to reconcile the two rivals, but the strains did not cease. In 1254 the people rebelled and imposed twelve Anziani del Popolo ("People's Elders") as their political representatives in the Commune. They also supplemented the legislative councils, formed of noblemen, with new People's Councils, composed by the main guilds and by the chiefs of the People's Companies. These had the power to ratify the laws of the Major General Council and the Senate.
The decline began on August 6, 1284, when the numerically superior fleet of Pisa, under the command of Albertino Morosini, was defeated by the brilliant tactics of the Genoese fleet, under the command of Benedetto Zaccaria and Oberto Doria, in the dramatic naval Battle of Meloria. This defeat ended the maritime power of Pisa and the town never fully recovered: in 1290 the Genoese destroyed forever the Porto Pisano (Pisa's Port), and covered with salt like Carthage at Scipio's times. The region around Pisa did not permit the city to recover from the loss of thousands of sailors from the Meloria, while Liguria guaranteed enough sailors to Genoa. Goods continued to be traded, albeit in reduced quantity, but the end came when the Arno started to change course, preventing the galleys from reaching the city's port up the river. It seems also that nearby area became infested with malaria. Within 1324 also Sardinia was entirely lost in favour of the Aragonese.
Always Ghibelline, Pisa tried to build up its power in the course of the 14th century and even managed to defeat Florence in the Battle of Montecatini (1315), under the command of Uguccione della Faggiuola. Eventually, however, divided by internal struggles and weakened by the loss of its mercantile strength, Pisa was conquered by Florence in 1406. In 1409 Pisa was the seat of a council trying to set the question of the Great Schism. Furthermore in the 15th century, access to the sea became more and more difficult, as the port was silting up and was cut off from the sea. When in 1494 Charles VIII of France invaded the Italian states to claim the Kingdom of Naples, Pisa grabbed the opportunity to reclaim its independence as the Second Pisan Republic.
But the new freedom did not last long. After fifteen years of battles and sieges, Pisa was reconquered in 1509 by the Florentine troops led by Antonio da Filicaja, Averardo Salviati and Niccolò Capponi. Its role of major port of Tuscany went to Livorno. Pisa acquired a mainly, though secondary, cultural role spurred by the presence of the University of Pisa, created in 1343. Its decline is clearly shown by its population, which has remained almost constant since the Middle Ages.
Pisa was the birthplace of the important early physicist, Galileo Galilei. It's still the seat of an archbishopric; it has become a light industrial centre and a railway hub. It suffered repeated destruction during World War II.

A large contingent of 8F locomotives was sent overseas during WW2 and about the end of 1941, 42 WD locomotives of the LMS Class 8F type were put to work in Egypt. On arrival, they had the prefix "9" added to their WD numbers, but as the latter were not consecutive they were shortly afterwards given a completely new set of Middle East running numbers: 9301-9342. Locomotives with numbers falling within this block under the original ME numbering scheme retained them, and the remainder were then renumbered to fill in the blanks.
The actual number of these engines on loan to the ESR varied from time to time, as engines of this series were used by the Railway Operating Companies working the Western Desert Extension Railway and (for a time) the Dabaa - Mersa Matruh section of the ESR Western Desert line. After the offensive of 1942, when the diesel-electric locomotives took over the working of the WD operated lines, all the Class 8Fs were sent on loan to the ESR. They were all kept at el-Gabbari depot(Alexandria) and used for long distance heavy freight work and various military trains, with the exception of two which were usually allocated to the other Alexandria depot, el-Hadra, for working Western Desert line passenger trains.
ESR purchased seven of these engines in 1942 and renumbered them 850-856. These were followed by a further twenty, Nos. 857-876, in November 1943, and another thirteen, Nos. 877-889 in July 1944. The final war period purchase, of No. 890, took place in early 1945 and thus brought the ESR Class up to a total of 41 engines at that time, Nos. 850-890. All of them were of the wartime modified design and none of the original LMS engines were included. They had all been fitted with Westinghouse brake and carried cowcatchers. The former equipment was removed entirely from most locomotives (ESR Modifications Book entry for 12/8/1947 reading - "Westinghouse Brake fittings to be removed") but a number continued to carry the Westinghouse train pipe, air reservoirs and pump brackets.
With the exception of No. 890, they were all converted for oil burning, mostly during 1943. In ESR livery they were painted unlined black with vermilion buffer plates. The number was in yellow on the cab sides, and on the left of the buffer beams and tender side sheets; appearing in Arabic numerals on the right of the buffer beams and tender sides, as was usual practice with ESR locomotive stock. In 1946, the European figures were painted out and replaced by Arabic numerals. The LMS type of cast number plate bearing the original WD number remained undisturbed on the smokebox door although for how long is not known.
After being on loan to them for a while, nine WD locomotives (including four of those just mentioned) were bought by the ESR, in February 1949, from the Army, and became Nos. 841-9. The diagram states that they had been converted to oil burners in Palestine. In 1951, two further WD locomotives were transferred and renumbered 891 and 892. The next and final "transfer" to the Egyptian Republic Railways took place in 1954, after the Revolution which had overthrown the Egyptian monarchy and which culminated in the departure of British forces from the Suez Canal Zone and a renaming of the national rail system.
An immense quantity of stores was sold to the Egyptian Government and with it passed the ten remaining engines of this class to be renumbered 832-840 and 893, in order of their WD numbers. The ERR Diagram records, somewhat triumphantly, “893 taken from the British Army in October, 1954; 832-840 taken from the Suez Canal Stores in November, 1956". The class continued to do useful work with the ERR/ENR, and most were finally withdrawn in 1963 at the close of steam operation.
All but six, Nos. 844, 856, 860, 861, 869 and 870, which may have been sided earlier, were placed on the sales list but found no purchasers, other than, possibly, for their boilers. In 1977 numerous of the 8F tenders could still be seen in use for transporting mazout oil to depots and fuelling points. This Diagram retained its number throughout although initially, when WD engines, it bore the letter A, later altered to W. The diagram had a number of alterations, principally the range of engine numbers to which it applied as the fleet size grew.
Diagram W - another locomotive profile which arrived in Egypt for exactly the same reasons as the 8Fs. Several old RODs which were not content with serving in WWI were called upon again in WWII. They were the first locomotives to arrive in the Middle East arriving there in 1941. At that time 64 of them were loaned to the ESR, but over the years their distribution varied between the different Middle East railway systems according to the needs of the Military Authorities to meet their traffic requirements.
When working on the ESR, a 9700 Class engine was permitted to haul 1,085 tons (equal to 70 ten-ton wagons); and this type was extensively used for troop trains, despite the fact that comparatively few of them were fitted with vacuum brakes. Long after the locomotives of this class working in Egypt and Palestine were converted to oil burning, the occasional interchange of engines with Syria would bring a coal-fired engine into service in Egypt. When converted for oil burning, a mazout tank of 1,800 gallons capacity was fitted into the tender coal space, which normally held six tons of coal.
The original WD numbers were 700-791, and the prefix "9" was added on arrival in the Middle East. In November 1944, this was replaced by the prefix "70" as far as the official WD number was concerned, but the ESR continued to use the 97xx series numbers. The maximum number of them seen on any diagram was 59, but it is possible that no less than eighty-seven of the class were accumulated in Egypt before their run-down to final elimination in 1961 although not necessarily all active at one time. This was because, some ten years before the demise of the class occurred, five further locomotives, BR Nos. 63809, 63849, 63778, 63580 and 63627, were rebuilt at Gorton Works with oil burning equipment and sent to Egypt, in April 1952, as WD 040-44 in the new numbering series. They were given ESR Nos. 9794-98, and, for a reason that is not known, the blank numbers 9792-93 remained unused.
The Drawing Registers contain numerous references to the class mostly for modifications and the last entry was made in February, 1953. It is thought that final withdrawal took place in 1961; a diagram book revised in October, 1959, showed 5 still in stock.

In about 1876, the first immigrants from what is today Ukraine arrived in America. A second contingent of immigrants began to arrive during the early 1880s from the Galicia (Halychyna) region of Western Ukraine.
Not finding many eastern-rite Catholic churches upon their arrival in this area, many immigrants from Ukraine initially attended Roman Catholic churches closest in ethnic character to their own, usually Polish or Slovak.
In Youngstown, some of our early pioneers attended the Divine Liturgy at Ss. Cyril and Methodius Roman Catholic Church, but eventually most attended the only Byzantine Rite church in the Youngstown area at the early part of the 20th century, St. Mary’s Carpatho-Ruthenian Parish located on Salt Springs Road. Here the majority of national groups of the Byzantine Rite Catholics including the Carpatho-Ruthenians, Hungarians, Romanians, Serbians and Ukrainians attended this parish, and here many of our first pioneers were married and had their children baptized. The Divine Liturgy was celebrated in Old Slavonic and sermons were preached in Ruthenian and Hungarian. Many of our early Ukrainian Catholic immigrants attended church even though they had to walk long distances or take the street car from the outer sections of the city. Attending church also satisfied a great social need, for it was the only opportunity for fraternizing and to discuss personal, as well as mutual issues.
One of our first Ukrainian immigrants in the Youngstown area was George Glazzy, who came to the United States in 1881, and settled in Youngstown in 1887.
Upon his arrival in Youngstown, George Glazzy and other early immigrants had longed to be in their own church. By the year 1909, when approximately one hundred and fifty Ukrainian families had settled in the Youngstown vicinity, they determined there were enough people to sufficiently support a church-parish of their own. To plan and formulate this project, many meetings were held, the result of which culminated in seeking the services of Rev. Stephanovich of St. John the Baptist Parish, in Pittsburgh. This was the closest Ukrainian church to the Youngstown area.
Fr. Stephanovich came to Youngstown to celebrate the first Divine Liturgy for the Ukrainian Catholic families at Diebel Hall, located on West Federal Street. He and encouraged the people to retain their strong faith and devotion and prayed that their dreams of hearing the Divine Liturgy, celebrated in their own church, be fulfilled as quickly as possible.
The people, encouraged and inspired by the words of Fr. Stephanovich, petitioned Bishop Soter Ortynsky to assign a priest to the new parish, and in the year 1909, Bishop Ortynsky assigned Rev. Michael Balogh to the first pastor of Holy Trinity. Through his efforts, the property of the present church was purchased.
For a time, Rev Balogh celebrated the Divine Liturgy in Diebel Hall and later at Ss. Cyril & Methodius Hall. Rev. Balogh only ministered the parish until December of 1909. Rev Basil Zacerkovny was appointed to the infant parish. Rev Zacerkovny hastened the plans for building a church and with Rev. Olrich Zlamal of Ss. Cyril and Methodius Church, and other early pioneers, the architectural firm of Miller and Ford from Youngstown, was engaged to draw up the plans and specifications. Bids for the church edifice were sent out and a few weeks after bid acceptance, construction on the church began.
The church was officially incorporated in the State of Ohio on January 17, 1911. The cornerstone of the church edifice was laid and it was blessed by Bishop Ortynsky on November 12, 1911. During the construction period, two major delays were encountered as a result of a shortage of funds, and by January of 1912, the basement of the church was completed, which then became the place of worship for parishioners.
Much credit must be given to the parishioners who either donated money or made liberal loans from $50 to $500 during the early construction phase of the church. The church construction was financed entirely by month to month collections. When money was not forthcoming, the contractors would discontinue the project until additional funds were available.
The construction of the church was completed in the early part of 1913, but many of the refinements came slowly due to financial difficulties. From 1913 to the end of his pastorship in 1918, Fr. Zacerkovny set forth all his efforts toward the completion of the interior of the church. The life-sized stained glass windows in the sanctuary are figures of the four Evangelists and were installed in 1914. The present marble altar with its beautiful frescoed replica of Our Lord’s Last Supper was installed in May 1914. (see photo) The three bells in the bell-towers were installed in February 1914.
In 1918, Rev. Basil Steciuk was appointed pastor of Holy Trinity Church. During his administration the interior of the church was completed. Pews, light fixtures and other interior items were installed. Our beautifully hand-crafted Iconostas, made by artisans from Ukraine, was installed in 1919 and the remaining nine stained glass windows were purchased and installed in 1920. (See photos)
During the following years, the late Rev. Constantine Kuryllo, Nicholas Sturynsky, John Zaharko, and Stephen Waschyshyn served as pastors, each for a short period of time.
In December of 1923, Rev. Vladimir Dowhovich came to Holy Trinity and remained until 1927. In 1925, Most Rev. Archbishop Contantine Bohachevsky blessed the church. During the pastorship of Fr. Dowhovich, The Sisterhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary was organized in 1923 and in 1927, the Altar Boys Society was organized. In the early years, the altar boys wore their suits to serve, but later cassocks were provided and in the 1940s, dalmatics were purchased for their use.
Fr. Dowhovich was a very energetic priest who had an avid interest in education. He established four district schools in which Catechism, and the Ukrainian language were taught. Many of us now living have benefited by his ardor in that we have learned how to read and write the Ukrainian language and appreciate the beauty of the Eastern Rite.
Rev. Myron Danilovich followed as pastor in 1927. He continued the good work, and made an improvement in the church financial situation by decreasing church debt. In 1929, however, a great depression started and most of our parishioners worked part time, and many, not at all, thus making the repayment of the debts nearly impossible. All was not entirely gloomy, for in those days, the church served more as a center of social activity than it is today.
In 1931, Rev. Anthony Strotsky was made pastor during the depth of the depression, a time of vast unemployment and financial crisis. The parish, too, was a victim of the fate of its parishioners. Succeeding Fr. Strotsky were Rev. Marian Stankanewich, and then Rev. John Dzendzera.
In November of 1933, Rev John Zabawa was assigned to the parish. His administration was an illustrious one and he sacrificed personally so that the parish could get the church debt paid. In a short period of six years, he brought much needed order and in 1935, the mortgage on the church was paid in full. This event brought great joy to the people of the parish, since it took place during the depression when times were poor.
During Fr. Zabawa’s pastorship, many social activities took place, such as parish picnics held during the summer months, and plays and concerts during the fall and winter months. The proceeds from these events were used primarily to pay off the mortgage on the church.
Fr. Zabawa was succeeded by Rev. Peter Poniatision and then Rev. Peter Oleksiw who organized the Senior Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary, thus making it a charter member of this world-wide society. Following Fr. Oleksiw was Archpriest Isidore Nahajewsky. During his pastorship a very choice piece of property was purchased in 1950, on the east side of Youngstown, consisting of over fourteen acres of wooded land, popularly called Berkley Woods, which provided a place for the parish’s summer activities. In addition, during the year 1950, the Ukrainian Hall, across from the church, was purchased to give the young people a place for their social needs and to transfer all mundane activity from the premise of the church basement.
In August 1950, Rev. Leo Adamiak arrived in Youngstown to assume the pastorship of Holy Trinity Church. His first efforts were in reconciling the people to work in harmony under church laws and regulations. The newly acquired hall, picnic grounds, and other church properties were deeded in trust to the Bishop according to the norms of Ecclesiastical Canons. Trustism, which had plagued church discipline for many years, was removed, and the pastor assumed his proper office as a spiritual and temporal head of his congregation.
The Berkley Woods picnic grounds and the church hall were remodeled and existing church societies were vitalized and directed to follow the statutes. In 1955, a hundred and ten foot frontage was purchased for parking facilities on the west side of the church hall. In 1957 a renovation program brought about extensive interior repair to the church which included a gas-fired furnace replacing the old coal-stoker; the exterior part of the church woodwork was repainted; complete electrical rewiring and installation of an electric mechanism to operate the tower bells. In addition, our beautiful Iconastas was re-gilded.
In 1958, the Mother’s Club, which was organized in 1948, became a church affiliated society, and in December, 1958, another church society, the St. Anne Guild was organized with the intention of sponsoring various projects of which the proceeds always benefit the church.
During the years, the church and hall have been refurbished to maintain and improve the beauty of our original church and its architecture.
In 1973, plans were commissioned for a major renovation and building project at Holy Trinity: a new rectory. Over the year, many meeting, concerning the building project took place. Landscaping was also a part of the overall plan that also continued to be examined and implemented. Work began in August of 1973. Finally in May of 1974 furnishings were moved into the new rectory and in June of 1974, the old rectory building was demolished.
In June of 1978, new symbolic doors were installed at the church and in 1979; an extended interior renovation of the church began in January: repainting, plastering additional lighting, carpeting and choir loft refurbishing was initiated.
In 1983, under the leadership of Msgr. Leo Adamiak, a major new project was undertaken. Additional property was purchased on the West side of the church and re-plotted into one parcel. This was the beginning of many meetings regarding the building a Shrine on this property to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the parish and observe the millennium, the 1,000 year anniversary, in 1988 of Ukraine’s acceptance of Christianity. Finally, on June 12, 1986, a 80-ft cross for the Shrine was raised and placed on a pedestal with many parishioners, friends, and civic officials taking part in a special ribbon-cutting ceremony to exalt that historic occasion. On September 1, 1986, a special dedication service was held with over 800 parishioner and friends participating. This celebration included a 90-member procession to the Shrine Cross followed by a Thanksgiving Moleben by Bishop Robert Moskal and six concelebrating priests. Following the service, participants proceeded to the banquet facility to continue the celebration.
Msgr. Adamiak retired in 2005 after serving as our pastor for 55 years.
Following Msgr. Adamiak, Rev. Joseph Tamburro, Rev. Peter Tomas, Rev. Andrew Marko, and Rev. Steven Zarichny have served as pastors. Rev. Lubomyr Zhybak, our current pastor, was assigned to Holy Trinity in 2012.
In all, since its beginning, Holy Trinity Church has been served by a total of 21 priests; and since 1947, by a total of 16 assistant pastors.

An anti-imperialist contingent to a larger anti-Vietnam war protest burns an effigy of President Richard Nixon during a March to the U.S. Capitol May 21, 1972.
It was one of the last large scale confrontations between antiwar protesters and police in the city.
At the base of the west side of the U.S. Capitol while a larger crowd listened to speakers, the anti-imperialist contingent protesters tossed rocks, bottles and other projectiles at police who responded with clubs, tear gas and arrests.
D.C. police chief Jerry Wilson was struck multiple times by rocks and other projectiles including a wooden stick that caused blood to run down his face.
Wilson was quoted, “They usually run when I walk toward them. This time they threw bigger rocks.”
A dozen police officers were injured and 178 protesters were arrested during the confrontation.
As U.S troops were being drawn down, President Richard Nixon escalated the war in other ways. Later in the year he would conduct expanding bombing campaigns through “Operation Linebacker” and “Operation Linebacker II,” the latter being the larges U.S. bombing campaign since World War II.

Brownrigg St, Kandy.
Originally positioned along Kandy's lakeside Esplanade, this splendid bronze memorial was erected to commemorate the Boer War service of two contingents of locally-raised, European units of the Ceylon Volunteers whose ranks were drawn primarily from the white planter community in Ceylon. In January 1900, in a show of patriotic ardour and loyalty to Queen and Empire, the colonial Legislative Council of Ceylon unanimously agreed to send a 129-strong contingent of Ceylon Mounted Infantry to South Africa to contribute to the war effort. Upon arrival in South Africa, the CMI were inspected by Lord Roberts and were described in a Daily Telegraph article on 11 March 1900 as "lithe, clean-cut fellows and their 'mounts' are the hardy and wonderful Burma ponies." This first contingent saw action at Johannesburg, Pretoria, Dreifontein, Diamond Hill and Wittebergen. A second contingent of 200 infantrymen was dispatched to South Africa and arrived after hostilities had ceased in 1902 to perform garrison duties.
The memorial depicts a trooper of the Ceylon Mounted Infantry giving the signal "enemy in sight" and was designed by Geraldine Thomas nee Blake, the sister-in-law of Lt Arthur H Thomas, one of those killed in that conflict who is commemorated on this memorial; the names of the other fallen men are W Max Kelly, C Campion, QMSGT Cheyne, AS Hopper, K Hamilton, Claude C Bell and NW Smellie. It was unveiled by Field-Marshal HRH Prince Albert, The Duke of Connaught, KG, GCMG on 18 March 1907.
Given nationalist sentiment in post-independence Sri Lanka, the statue became the focal point for student protests in the 1960s and it was forcibly removed from its plinth along the Esplanade. Ever since then, it has been safely re-located within the out-of-bounds confines of the Sri Lankan Army barracks at Kandy, behind a high wall. This, along with the sun's position, would explain why I was not able to get a better photo of the bewhiskered trooper's face. Look closely at the bottom left-hand side of the plinth and you can see the sculptor's name 'Geraldine Blake' and the year '1905'.

This pocket-size Flemish Book of Hours was created in Bruges between 1460 and 1470. A heavy contingent of South Netherlandish saints in the litany helps localize its production. Although small in scale, it is notable for its abundance of illuminations, nearly thirty extant, by artists working in the style of the prolific mid-fifteenth-century Flemish illuminator Willem Vrelant. Three artists worked on this book. The best painted the full-page miniature of David Penitent on fol. 85v; an able artist painted the other two full-page miniatures; the historiated initials and minor decoration are routine. Several other Books of Hours in the Walters' collection are similar in style to this manuscript, exhibiting the characteristics of the Vrelant circle, notably W.177, W.179, and W.180.

As a member of the Australian Horse, New South Wales Contingent, Trooper Patrick William Meehan was on board the troop transport ship 'Surrey', on the way to the South African War, when he was taken ill with typhoid fever and put ashore to the Port Adelaide Hospital, transferring to the Adelaide Hospital where he died. The death was widely reported in newspapers in every state.
He was the third son of Mrs. J. Meehan an old and well known resident of Muswellbrook in New South Wales. The deceased was a fine stalwart young man about twenty five years of age, over six foot in height, and between fourteen and fifteen stone in weight. Great sympathy is felt for his widowed mother and relatives, in their bereavement. Mrs Meehan gave permission for a military funeral in Adelaide.
The footpaths on both sides of North Terrace were thronged right up to the gates of the Hospital, and the public waited patiently to get a glimpse of the cortege. Punctually at 3 o clock the procession moved off. A firing party from the Mounted Rifles, in charge of Sergeant-Major Ryan, led the way, followed by the Military Band, which was just in front of the field-gun carriage, on which was the coffin, covered in the Union Jack. A fine looking chestnut charger came next, and he walked along as if he also were in deep sympathy with the proceedings. The horse was led by Troopers W. H. Thompson and Denholm, of the Mounted Rifles. The infantry Brigade, under Captain Goode, was well represented, and so were the Machine gun and Field Hospital Corps, who followed in the order given. Then came the Garrison and Field Artillery, and about thirty members of the Naval Brigade. Along North Terrace as far as the Institute the procession passed at a slow march, the band meanwhile playing the "Dead March". Then the pace was quickened until King William Street was reached, when the funeral walk was resumed. People watched the proceedings, with the deepest sympathy, and hats were raised in silence as the carriage and coffin passed by. At the cemetery the members of the Police Force had the greatest difficulty in keeping the crowd, away from the grave— hundreds had followed the cortege from the Hospital gates. While the short service was being held in the Smyth Chapel the members of the Military Forces took up a position around the grave, with the firing party on either side. The bearers were chosen from the ranks of the Mounted Rifles, Troopers Thompson, De Laine, Hamilton, and Connor being chosen for the office. The Rev. Father Doheny conducted the service at the grave, and three volleys were fired as "a farewell shot." Every credit is due to the military authorities for the manner in which their part of the funeral was conducted and to Messrs. Pengelley & Knabe, who had charge of the general arrangements. At the conclusion of the ceremony the soldiers fell in on the road leading to the cemetery, and they marched back through the streets of the city to the strains of patriotic music from the band.

The South Australian Military Band later raised funds to erect a headstone for Trooper Meehan, located in the Catholic Section of the West Terrace Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia.
