Photographers were invited to photograph the interior of St Paul's Cathedral, London. I was one of the 300 who managed to secure a ticket. It was quite difficult to get a clean shot with 299 others plus staff.

In 1883 Captain John B. Ford and John Pitcairn created the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company (PPG), which became the first financially successful U.S. plate glass manufacturer. Originally located in Creighton, Pennsylvania, northeast of Pittsburgh, the company moved its headquarters to Pittsburgh in 1895. The company became PPG in 1968 and is now a 15 Billion dollar company. I think they can afford the postage due!

P/O Creighton's DFC:

The award was presented by the Canadian Governor General tohis next-of-kin on the 10th December 1947. The citation calls him a pilot, but the casualty list and training school list make clear he was an air gunner.

 

Pilot Officer Creighton, as pilot [sic] , has completed numerous operations against the enemy in the course of which he has invariably displayed the utmost fortitude and devotion to duty.

 

Note: Although letters of condolence were often standard, the following excerpt from a letter dated 22nd June 1944 from the Commanding Officer, No.49 Squadron, to his widow may explain his award in some part:

 

"During the time your husband has been with the squadron he has taken part in many operational sorties, and he has shown himself to be a very efficient and keen air gunner who was always willing to

give the benefit of his knowledge and experience to the new gunners as they came to the squadron."

 

Grave Inscription - "We Loved Our Lad and he died that we might live "Blessed are the Peacemakers"

Passmore Edwards Cottage Hospital, Gunnersbury Lane, Acton, London, England. Acton Hospital. In 1897 an appeal was launched to establish a hospital in Acton to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. John Passmore Edwards, a renowned philanthropist, promised money someone donated the land – and this was given by the Rothschilds. The Passmore Edward Cottage Hospital was officially opened in 1898 by Mrs. Creighton, first President of the National Union of Women Workers, plus her husband, the Bishop of London. The Hospital was supported by voluntary subscriptions and donations and local doctors gave their services free.There were also two Queen's Nurses who provided care for patients in their homes, and an invalid kitchen which would deliver meals to out patients. In 1915 it was renamed Acton Hospital. After the Great War an appeal raised money for a War Memorial wing, opened in 1923. It was renamed the Acton War Memorial Hospital and continued to expand. In the Second World War it became part of the Emergency Medical Scheme and a Decontamination Unit was built which later became the Casualty Department. It joined the NHS in 1948. In 1979, it became a geriatric hospital and the operating theatre was converted into a Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Department. In 1980 the Casualty Department became the Gunnersbury Unit for the elderly mentally ill. The Hospital finally closed in 2001. This central building is a multi-faith center, with signage and the foundation stone still in place. The rest has been replaced by the Acton Care Centre, which in 2003 became a home for care of the elderly.

A group of local boys are enjoying the moment and hardly seem to bat an eyelid at 19D no.2669 simmering away.
