This float is a good reminder. Thank You Canada. Now it will need to be updated as Argentina legalizes gay marriage. Map already outdated, so to speak. Sometimes change does happen fast.
The previous post came through without labels. Here's a lower res screen capture of the map with labels.

The Map Room came into use on the very first day that the Cabinet War Rooms were ready for occupation and never ceased to be the hub of the site until VJ Day. On the following day, 16 August 1945, the Map Room lights were finally turned out and the room was left almost exactly as it is today with every map, book, chart, pin and notice occupying the same position now that they occupied then.
The Map Room remained open day and night and the chief task of the officers manning this room was to collate and summarise all relevant information on the progress of the war and present it on maps, which would be constantly updated. ‘The Cabinet War Room Record’ was a daily news sheet that was compiled for transmission every morning to the Prime Minister, the Chiefs of Staff and the War Cabinet. One copy, for the attention of the King, was taken to Buckingham Palace by the Duty Officer every morning.
Four Map Room officers, representing each of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Home Security, sat either side of the long table in the centre of the room. The Duty Officer was selected from each service in turn and occupied the seat at the head of the table. The series of coloured telephones down the centre of the table were known to the Map Room officers as the ‘beauty chorus’ and had flashing lights as an alternative to bells – they were colour coded and used to communicate with intelligence services, another service war room or the War Rooms own switchboard. The three black phones with green receivers were fitted with scramblers, a device that rendered the conversation meaningless and just a jumble of noise until it was unscrambled at the receiving end.
The large map of the world covering the southern wall of the room hangs where it hung for most of the war. It was used to plot the position of convoys and the movements of individual warships – the thousands of tiny dots which cloud the surface of the map are pinholes left by markers shifted around by the map keepers. During the war this map became so perforated with pin-holes that the outlines of the principal convoy routes could be seen from the other end of the room.
The blackboard which hangs on one of the pillars was used during the Battle of Britain to note the numbers of enemy aircraft destroyed each day.
Access to the Map Room was strictly controlled. The privileged few who were allowed in included visiting heads of Allied countries or armed forces and the King and Queen themselves came to the Map Room in May 1942.
Il mappamondo di Fra Mauro (1459-60) recentemente restaurato sarà nuovamente visibile nelle Sale Monumentali della Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia in occasione della mostra "San Michele in Isola. Isola della conoscenza" dal
12 Maggio al 2 Settembre 2012 nell'ambito della mostra. Il planisfero della Biblioteca Marciana è leggermente ellittico e iscritto in un quadrato con i lati di 2,23 metri; è privo di scala, così come di meridiani e paralleli; il suo orientamento vede il Sud riprodotto nella parte superiore, secondo l’uso islamico e al contrario del tipo tolemaico (Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia).
this is somekind of prototypes i did with gradientmapping (took the mapping from ionoi) and ceramics (Hutschenreuther); the process is very simple in digital but very tricky to cast because the form is very complex to eject;
Major Edith Nuttall, Chief of Nurses at the hospital, stated "Carol was awarded time off from her regular duties because of the quality of her work. She was just about everything one would hope a professional nurse to be." The area circled in green is where she was headed in that fated helicopter for time off.
