“No.10. Hyde Park Corner, Plug Street. One of the warmest spots in the War Zone”
One from a series of Stereoscopic cards entitled “The Battlefield Series”, published by George Nightingale & Co, Normanton Avenue, Bognor (England).
The cards are printed on the back with the information: “These Photos are finished and printed entirely by Ex-service men at Reflex Studios & Press, Parkstone.”
The photos were presumably taken during the months following the end of hostilities on the European battlefields, and likely published during 1919 or 1920.

PELTON COLLIERY ESTABLISHES A REMARKABLE RECORD IN AMBULANCE WORK.
Pelton Colliery has established a remarkable model in St. John Ambulance work. Sixty of the local members of the Brigade are serving their country, thirteen being in French hospitals and in the field, and fifteen in the Dardanelles. In addition to its fine contribution of workers, Pelton has also risen to the occasion in respect to the appeal for funds with which to equip the S.J.A.B. Hospital for foreign service, and has given enough money to provide two beds.

Fully illustrated in colour with maps, the ISBN is 978-1781559093 and will be available from Amazon, Waterstones, WH.Smith and direct from the publisher.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contacted me and requested that they can use one of my images for an article on the drought in South Eastern Colorado. A subject very near and dear to me. While the article focuses on Rocky Ford, Co the image was taken far to the North outside the little town of Keota, CO. This image depicts the start of a sandstorm and within 20 seconds of taking this pic visibility was down to nothing.
I took screenshots of the article for vanity reasons but if you are interested in reading the full article here is the link:

The Postcard
A postcard published by F. Frith & Co. Ltd. of Reigate. The card was printed in England.
The card was posted in Swanage on Tuesday the 11th. August 1931 to:
Mrs. Carlisle,
'Twysdens',
Foots Cray,
Kent.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"This little man called
Quarter Jack strikes the
quarters at Wimborne
Minster.
It rained all the way home
from W. to S.
Your first letters came on
from the Grosvenor this
evening!
So now we know where
we are!
Thanks for them.
L.M."
Wimborne Minster
Wimborne is a market town in Dorset in South West England
For hundreds of years Wimborne Minster has been a centre for pilgrimage, prayer and worship. It is not a museum, although it has inherited many noteworthy treasures and artefacts.
The Minster's two Towers are visible as one enters the Town, and from various vantage points within the Town.
The foundation goes back to c. 705 AD when Cuthburga, sister to Ina, King of the West Saxons, founded a nunnery on the site. 500 nuns are reputed to have lived at Wimborne, many of whom followed St. Boniface to the then-pagan Germany, as missionaries.
The Nunnery was destroyed by the Danes in 1013, but an old Saxon Chest still remains in the Minster today.
The present building dates from c. 1120 with many additions spanning the centuries.
Education has always been a priority. Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, founded a school at Wimborne Minster in 1497, and her parents' tomb is in the Minster.
A Chained Library was established in 1695, although the first books had been donated in 1686. The Chained Library, one of only four in the country, is open to the public from Easter to the end of October most weekdays.
In 1612, the Quarter Jack was placed on the north side of the West Tower where he can be seen striking his bells every quarter-hour throughout the day and night.
Time was important to local people in the 14th. century, and this was provided via the Astronomical Clock in the West Tower and the three-faced sundial.
Other points of interest include the Man in the Wall, the Man with two left feet, and the only memorial brass dedicated to a king in the country. The Minster also has a fine set of thirteen bells.
Louisa Fagan
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 11th. August 1931 was not a good day for Louisa Matilda Fagan (née Ballard), because she died in London on that day.
Louisa, who was born in Naples on the 9th. January 1850, was an Italian–British female chess master.
Miss Ballard learned to play chess as a child from her father William. She married an Irishman, J. G. Fagan who was an officer with the Bombay Lancers, and as a result, the Fagans lived for a period of time in India.
Mrs. Fagan was part of the chess scene in India, and had some of her problems published in The City of London Chess Magazine.
She was a winner of a chess tournament in Bombay, in which 12 men took part. She won all her games, but was disqualified because she was a woman playing in a club whose membership was confined to men. She appealed this decision in court and won.
Mrs. Fagan became an emancipation activist, and was one of the founding members of the Ladies' Chess Club of London, which had 100 members at its peak and lasted until after the Great War.
She took 2nd. place, behind Mary Rudge, in the first Ladies’ International Chess Congress held at the club in London from June 22nd. to July 3rd. 1897.
She was the younger sister of Dr. William Robert Ballard, born in Naples in 1848. He was a strong London chess player in the late 19th. and early 20th. century.
I came across this article in the The Wall Street Journal, with a predominant photo display of my work during a Miami Marlins game, almost by accident. Eventually I would have received the report from the agency.
I have countless tear sheets of published photos and captions in news articles. Somehow this was special. Being the WSJ such a prestigious publication I feel honored to have my photo capture chosen for publication among so many professionals that covered the injury incident of Mike Trout during the game.
This is a screen capture of of a section of the online article.

The Postcard
A carte postale that was published by E. L. D. that was posted in Paris on Tuesday the 13th. November 1945 to:
Mr. Archie Newbury,
Albion House,
Bay Road,
Sholing,
Southampton,
England.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"My mother and I are
always very pleased
to hear from you.
I hope you are getting
accustomed to school
and are very good, at
least in talking and
reading French.
I give you my approval".
The message continues on the front of the card.
Francis Garnier
Marie Joseph François Garnier (25th. July 1839 – 21st. December 1873) was a French officer, inspector of Indigenous Affairs of Cochinchina, and explorer.
He eventually became mission leader of the Mekong Exploration Commission in 19th. century Southeast Asia.
Francis Garnier - the Early Years
Garnier was born at Saint-Étienne, Loire, and entered the French Navy. After voyaging in Brazilian waters and the Pacific, he obtained a post on the staff of Admiral Léonard Victor Charner, who from February 1860 to November 1861 was campaigning in Cochinchina.
After some time spent in France, Garnier returned to the East, and in 1862, he was appointed inspector of native affairs in Cochinchina, and entrusted with the administration of Cholon, a suburb of Saigon.
Exploration of the Mekong and Yangtze rivers
It was at his suggestion that the Marquis de Chasseloup-Laubat determined to send a mission to explore the valley of the Mekong River, but as Garnier was not considered old enough to be put in command, the chief authority was entrusted to Captain Ernest Doudard de Lagrée.
In the course of the expedition – to quote the words of Sir Roderick Murchison that were addressed to the youthful traveller when, in 1870, he was presented with the Patron's Medal of the Royal Geographical Society of London:
"From Kratié in Cambodia to Shanghai, 5,392 miles
were traversed, and of these, 3,625 miles, chiefly of
country unknown to European geography, were
surveyed with care, and the positions fixed by
astronomical observations, nearly the whole of the observations being taken by Garnier himself".
A year earlier he received an award to be shared with David Livingstone at the 1869 Geographical Congress in Antwerp.
Volunteering to lead a detachment to Dali, the capital of Sultan Suleiman, the sovereign of the Muslim rebels in Yunnan, Garnier successfully carried out the more-than-adventurous enterprise. When shortly afterwards Lagrée died, Garnier naturally assumed the command of the expedition, and he conducted it in safety to the Yangtze River, and thus to the Chinese coast.
On his return to France, he was received with enthusiasm. The preparation of his narrative was interrupted by the Franco-Prussian War, and during the siege of Paris, Garnier served as principal staff officer to the admiral in command of the eighth sector.
Returning to Cochinchina, he found the political circumstances of the country unfavourable for further exploration, so accordingly, he went to China, and in 1873 followed the upper course of the Yangtze River to the waterfalls.
Intervention in Tonkin
In late 1873 Garnier was sent by Admiral Dupré, the governor of Cochinchina, to Tonkin, to resolve a dispute between the Vietnamese authorities and the French entrepreneur Jean Dupuis.
Persuaded that the time was ripe for a French conquest of Tonkin, Garnier captured Hanoi, the capital of Tonkin, on the 20th. November 1873. In the next few weeks a small French force under Garnier's command captured most of the citadels of the Red River Delta.
The Vietnamese authorities, despairing of meeting the French with their own forces, appealed to the notorious Chinese soldier of fortune Liu Yongfu to come to their aid with his Black Flag Army.
The Defeat and Death of Francis Garnier
On the 21st. December 1873, Liu Yongfu and around 600 Black Flags, marching beneath an enormous black banner, approached the west gate of Hanoi. A large Vietnamese army followed in their wake.
Garnier began shelling the Black Flags with a field piece mounted above the gate, and when they began to fall back he led a party of 18 French marine infantrymen out of the city to chase them away.
The attack failed. Garnier, leading three men uphill in a bayonet attack on a party of Black Flags, was stabbed and hacked to death by several Black Flag soldiers after stumbling in a watercourse.
The youthful Adrien-Paul Balny d'Avricourt led an equally small column out of the citadel to support Garnier, but was also killed at the head of his men. Three French soldiers were also killed in these sorties, and the others fled back to the citadel after their officers fell.
Colonel Thomazi, the historian of French Indochina, gave the following detailed description of Garnier's last moments:
"At midday on the 21st. December he was in
conference with the ambassadors when an
interpreter ran up, announcing that bands of
Black Flags were attacking the town by the
western gate.
Garnier immediately hurried to the spot, but
some of his men had got there before him, and
their fire had sufficed to force the bandits to
retreat behind the bamboo hedges.
A 40-millimetre gun arrived at this moment.
Garnier rallied a dozen men, three of whom
dragged this small cannon, and left the town
at a run to pursue the enemy. As the gun could
not move quickly enough across the fields, he
left it behind with its gunners.
Garnier then divided the nine men who remained
with him into three groups. The first two groups
moved off to the left and the right, to re-join one
another further on, while he marched in the middle,
followed only by two men.
One and a half kilometres from the town he found
himself in front of a dyke, and slipped and fell while
trying to cross it. Some Black Flags hidden behind
the dyke ran out, while others opened fire.
At this moment the two men who were accompanying
Garnier were 100 metres behind him. One of them
was killed by a bullet and the other wounded. Garnier
cried:
'To me, brave boys, and
we'll give them a thrashing!'
He then fired the six rounds from his revolver in an
attempt to rescue himself, but the bandits surrounded
him, pierced him with thrusts of sabres and lances, cut
off his head, odiously mutilated his corpse, and ran
away.
The two other groups, rushing up to the sound of the
shooting, were only able to recover his bloodied
corpse and bring it back to Hanoi".
Garnier's death effectively ended the first French adventure in Tonkin. The French government disavowed Garnier's adventure, and hastened to conclude a peace settlement with the Vietnamese, abandoning most of its claims in Tonkin.
Francis Garnier's Achievement
Garnier's chief fame rests on the fact that he both conceived the idea of exploring the Mekong and carried out the larger portion of the work himself.
During the French colonial period he was also honoured for his feats of arms in Tonkin, which paved the way for the eventual French conquest of Tonkin in the 1880's.
Commemoration of Francis Garnier
In 1883, nine years after Francis Garnier's death, the French naval officer Henri Rivière was also killed by the Black Flags in Tonkin, in remarkably similar circumstances.
Garnier and Rivière were honoured during the French colonial period as the two pre-eminent French martyrs of the conquest of Tonkin. In 1884, during the Sino-French War, two gunboats of the Tonkin Flotilla were named after the two men.
During the siege of Tuyên Quang (November 1884–March 1885), Liu Yongfu's Black Flags, who formed part of the besieging Chinese army, taunted the men of the French garrison by chanting the names of their two most famous victims: 'Garnier! Rivière! Garnier! Rivière!'
In 1943, French Indochina issued a postage stamp commemorating Garnier.
A warship was named after him during World War II but was scuttled after a fight with the Japanese, near the Cambodian town of Kratié.
In 1973 a new ship, Francis Garnier, was built. It is still in service, and assisted the humanitarian efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake as part of Opération Séisme Haiti 2010. She left Martinique carrying 60 Army personnel, land vehicles and excavators; and various relief shipments.
Charles de Gaulle
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 13th. November 1945, the French Constituent Assembly unanimously elected Charles de Gaulle president of the Provisional Government.

I was in my local library this morning, admiring the most beautiful book jacket photos. Lo and behold, what did I find that there were not one but TWO photos by my Flickr friends: Denis Tangney Jr and Darrell Godliman! Awesome work, guys!
This book was published about one year after Grissom was killed in the Apollo 1 spacecraft fire. These autographs were obtained in person. When Alan Bean saw this book, he said he had not even been aware of it until then. Signed by Bean (Gemini 10 backup commander), Richard Gordon (Gemini 11), and Guenter Wendt (in charge of launch pad close-out crew, McDonnell-Douglas and later North American-Rockwell).
