The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Fauchois. The card, which has a divided back, was printed by Baudinière of Paris.
The people in the photograph (and the horse!) have obviously been posed for the shot.
Fouquereuil
Fouquereuil is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais département in the Hauts-de-France region of France.
It is a farming village situated 1 mile (1.6 km) southwest of Béthune and 30 miles (48.3 km) southwest of Lille. Fouquereuil's population in 2017 was 1,570.
The church of St. Nicolas dates from the nineteenth century, and there is also an old mill. St. Nicholas was rebuilt, along with the rest of the village, after the Great War.
A Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery is located nearby. Sandpits British Cemetery was begun by the XIII Corps at the outset of the German advance in April 1918, and continued to be used by them until September 1918.
There are now 394 Great War burials in the cemetery. The cemetery was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Shot at Dawn
One of the 394 men laid to rest in the cemetery was 15161 Private Patrick Murphy of the 47th. Battalion Machine Gun Corps. He was executed for desertion the 12th. September 1918.
He had served for most of the war, but it seems that he was convicted of desertion on 3 separate occasions. The Roman Catholic Padre reported that:
"Murphy went to his execution
wonderfully calm & resigned."
British Military Execution Protocol
chrishobbs.com tells us that nearly all executions conducted by the British Army in the Great War more or less followed the pattern described below in this first-hand account:
'The officer had loaded the rifles, and had
left them laying on the ground at our position.
We were warned to fire straight, or we may
have to suffer the same fate.
The prisoner was taken out of a car (we saw
him get out, with a black cap over his head
and guarded) and placed on the other side
of a curtain.
If we did not kill him, the officer would have
to.
As soon as the curtain dropped (the prisoner
was tied to a chair five paces away from us,
a black mark over his heart) we got the order
to fire.
One blank and nine live rounds. It went off
as one. I did not have a blank. The prisoner
did not feel it. His body moved when we fired,
then the curtain went up. The firing squad
only saw him for a few minutes.
We went back to the Battalion Orderly Room
and got a big tumbler of rum each, and we
went back to our billets, ate, and went to bed.
We had the rest of the day off. It was a job I
never wanted'.
(From 'It Made You Think of Home', the journal of Deward Barnes, CEF, on the execution of Private Harold Lodge on the 13th. March 1918).
Chris Hobbs goes on to say that even though the rate of desertion was over 4 times higher in the UK, no soldier was ever executed for desertion at home.
This was because executions abroad could be largely covered up by the Military, whereas any conducted in the UK would have provoked riots. This was especially the case after the futile loss of life that occurred during the Somme Offensive of 1916.
A Typical Execution
The condemned private spends his last night in a small room, alone with his thoughts before his execution at dawn. He might be writing painful letters to family and friends. He is also likely to be encouraged to drink heavily in order to be insensible during execution. The private is guarded by two military policemen (MPs or redcaps) and ministered by a chaplain.
The condemned man’s commanding officer (CO) orders a company of men to witness the execution, wanting to set an example to other would-be deserters. Meanwhile a firing squad assembles, sick with nerves, in the dawn light. Some of the men know the condemned and have mixed feelings about his fate, some even carrying deep resentment at having to execute him. Their rifles have been pre-loaded—one with a blank—to take some of the individual responsibility away from shooting their fighting pal.
The condemned man is led, blind drunk, to a post by two redcaps, his hands tied behind his back. The lieutenant waits at the side of the shooting party, with a medical officer (MO). The lieutenant (Lt.) gives the order to shoot the prisoner. Some deliberately shoot wide. Two of the men vomit on the spot. The MO checks the prisoner over and concludes that the private is mortally wounded, but not dead. The young lieutenant, with shaky hands, administers the coup de grâce: a bullet to the head.
A military ambulance stands by to take the corpse off to be buried. That same evening the battalion colonel writes a letter to the private’s parents informing them that their son has been shot at the front. He leaves the message deliberately ambiguous, sparing the man’s family any difficult feelings about his execution.
Posthumous Pardons
The 'Shot at Dawn' Memorial in Alrewas, Staffordshire, originally contained the names of 306 men who were executed for 'cowardice' or 'desertion'.
With many now recognised as having been suffering from mental illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder, these men were posthumously pardoned by Royal Assent in November 2006.
The Staffordshire memorial was created to honour their sacrifices, along with all those who died in combat fighting for the British Empire during the Great War.
200,000 serving soldiers were officially court-martialled by the British High Command during the Great War.
Of these, 20,000 were found guilty of offences that carried the death penalty. 3,000 officially received it, although most of these sentences were subsequently commuted.
In the end, of the 3,000, 346 executions were carried out by firing squad.
Now, of the 40 names left off the Shot at Dawn Memorial, three have been added, thanks to the persistence of memorial creator Andy DeComyn.
They are New Zealander Jack Braithwaite, Gunner William Lewis from Scotland, and Jesse Robert Short, from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.
Jack Braithwaite
Braithwaite's 'mutiny', according to the Birmingham Mail, consisted of nothing more than a misdemeanour.
The bohemian former journalist, who'd confessed at his trial to not being a natural soldier, had tried to calm down a belligerent prisoner at Blargies prison in Rouen by taking the man to his tent to feed him.
The soldier, Private Little, had been a ringleader in a small uprising against the prison guards. But Little was an Australian, and couldn't be executed because Australia's government wouldn't allow Great Britain to execute its soldiers.
Unfortunately Braithwaite was a New Zealander, and could be executed. His attempt to defuse the potential riot (sparked by appalling conditions at the prison) involved him leading Little away from the custody of a staff sergeant, which officially amounted to mutiny.
Jack was subsequently shot by firing squad on the 28th. August 1916.
Gunner William Lewis
Jack's execution occurred within five minutes of Gunner William Lewis, who'd also been involved in the uprising at the prison.
Corporal Jesse Short
Meanwhile, Corporal Jesse Short was condemned to death for uttering:
"Put a rope around that bugger's neck,
tie a stone to it and throw him into the
river".
He was said to be inciting guards barring his exit from the infamous 'Bull Ring' training camp to rebel against their officer.
This was the September 1917 Étaples Mutiny, an uprising by around 80 servicemen rebelling against what are now acknowledged to have been harsh and unreasonable conditions at the camp.
The uprising was depicted in the 1978 book (and 1986 BBC series) 'The Monocled Mutineer', the lead character in which is said to have been based at least partially on Corporal Short.
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, confirmed Short's death sentence (as he had Lewis's a year earlier).
Short, Lewis, and Braithwaite received their pardons and have been honoured along with comrades who fell in battle.
The remaining 37 men who were shot, according to Richard Pursehouse of the Staffordshire military history research group the Chase Project, were not executed for mutiny, but murder.
As this also would have resulted in a death sentence even under civil law codes of the time, it was decided that their names should not be added to the memorial.

The Postcard
A postcard published by J.W.S. that is a glossy real photograph.
The card was posted in Portsmouth on Tuesday the 2nd. August 1910 to:
Miss A. F. Watts,
91, Islip Street,
Kentish Town,
London N.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"96 Victoria Road,
Portsmouth.
Dear Frances,
Just a line to let you know
I arrived here safely.
Did you enjoy yourself
on Saturday?
The weather is not very
hot, and it's showery
today.
I am enjoying myself A1 -
there are plenty of spiffing
boys down here. I am not
flirting.
Edie".
Southsea
Southsea is a seaside resort located in Portsmouth at the southern end of Portsea Island, Hampshire. The name originates from Southsea Castle, a fort located on the seafront and constructed in 1544 to help defend the Solent and approaches to Portsmouth Harbour.
When Henry VIII was in the castle he witnessed the sinking of the warship Mary Rose in the Solent.
By the mid to late Victorian era, Southsea had become a largely middle-class neighbourhood, with many naval officers and other professionals in residence. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle moved from Portsmouth to Southsea in 1882 with less than £10 (about £900 today) to his name. He set up a medical practice at 1 Bush Villas in Elm Grove.
Southsea Common
Southsea Common was created when about 480 acres (2sq. km.) of marshland was drained. Because the castle required clear lines of fire, the area was not built on, and remains today as a park and garden.
The Common is home to a remarkable collection of mature elm trees, believed to be the oldest and largest surviving in Hampshire. They escaped Dutch elm disease because of their isolation.
The Ladies' Mile was set out within the Common in 1925. The Ladies' mile is home to several semi-mature date palms. Planted in 1996, these palms are now some of the largest in the UK, and for the last few years have fruited and produced viable seeds, the first time this species of palm has been recorded as doing so in the UK.
Literacy Tests in Oklahoma
So what else happened on the day that Edie found time to write the card?
Well, on the 2nd. August 1910, Oklahoma's state constitution was amended to require literacy tests for all persons except descendants of persons who were free prior to the end of slavery. The legislation disenfranchised 30,000 African Americans.
Roger MacDougall
The day also marked the birth in Glasgow of Roger MacDougall, who was a Scottish playwright, screenwriter and director.
MacDougall began writing the occasional screenplay in the late 1930's, working both alone and in collaboration with others. Most of his plays were produced during the 1950's.
As a screenwriter, his best-known films are 'The Man in the White Suit', starring Alec Guinness (for which he received a 1952 Academy Award nomination) and 'The Mouse That Roared'.
Other notable films of Roger MacDougall include:
- 'Midnight at Madame Tussaud's' (1936)
- 'Midnight Menace' (1937)
- 'Cheer Boys Cheer' (1939)
- 'Let's Be Famous' (1939)
- 'Law and Disorder' (1940)
- 'Spare a Copper' (1940) (Starring George Formby)
- 'A Touch of Larceny' (1960) (Starring James Mason and Vera Miles)
-- The Roger MacDougall Diet
In 1953 Roger was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which eventually resulted in significant disability.
Through disillusionment with orthodox medical treatments at the time, he developed a diet, loosely based on a paleolithic diet, that apparently returned him to good health and sustained remission.
Following this experience, he published a pamphlet describing his diet, intending to help other patients to achieve similar results. This diet produced positive results in other patients, though success was not universal.
-- The Death of Roger MacDougall
Roger died in Northwood, England on the 27th. May 1993.

Published in January 1894 by The Historical Publishing Company, author J. W. Buel, this book contains 300 photographs of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 and the California Midwinter Fair in 1894.
The Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair) was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. At the core of the fair was an area that quickly became known as the White City for its buildings with white stucco siding and its streets illuminated by electric lights.
The California Midwinter International Exposition—also known as the Midwinter Fair—was held in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park from January 27 to July 4, 1894. Following on the heels of the World’s Columbian Exposition, it showcased selected exhibits from Chicago’s spectacular commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s journey to America as well as an impressive number of new exhibits at its specially constructed fairground, Sunset City.

UPDATE - Published in Amateur Photographer Readers Gallery, Dec 2007
About a year ago, I got a message from someone at Mercedes-Benz. They wanted to make a book with photos of their cars taken by “real people” and with the stories behind these photos, and an old test shot of mine had made it into their selection.
To cut a long story short: I made a proper scan of the negative, signed an agreement, and some time later I got some cash (quite a lot for a test shot actually) and a copy of the book. It has a fancy lenticular cover featuring two different sets of 25 thumbnail images each. Actually I didn’t even notice that my photo was also on the cover until today when I started figuring out how to document this “milestone” photographically.
The book, titled “Through the eyes of the world”, contains short forewords from Dieter Zetsche (the CEO of Daimler AG), Stewart Butterfield (one of the Flickr co-founders), and Uwe Düttmann (a renowned photographer who directed many campaigns for Mercedes-Benz).
Unfortunately, “published” is not the whole truth in that the book is not really available for purchase—instead, they are giving it away to a selection of Mercedes-Benz customers. But there is a Flickr group (“Mercedes-Benz—Through the Eyes of the World”) which aims at putting all the photos from the book in one place.
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 12th of January 1916.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.

Improv no laughing matter for BMLSS students
By Andrew Hoshkiw
In the high stakes world of improvisational
theatre, students at Bracebridge and
Muskoka Lakes Secondary School are
worth gold.
Calling themselves the Electric Impulse
Improv Team, the extracurricular school
group won first place at a recent competition,
despite being the wild card team at
the event.
The team of Grade 12 students took top
spot at the Canadian Improv Games
regional tournament in Sudbury on Saturday,
Feb. 14.
"This was the first time in 15 years the
team won the gold medal and will now go
on to the national competition in
Ottawa," says drama teacher and coach
Robin Clipsham. They will now advance
to the national competition, to be held in
April, where the team will face 19 teams
from around the country.
"There are the best and brightest teams
from all across Canada and we're one of
them," says Clipsham. "That's the best
part."
Improv is a form of theatre where
actors, working as a team, perform a scene
with set structures and themes, with little
or no preparation. It can take many forms
and is often comedic in nature.
"Improv involves the head, the heart,
the body and the spirit," says Clipsham.
"It really takes somebody who's in touch
with all those qualities to bring it off and
these kids really show it to me every day.
They're amazing, wonderful people."
There are many important and useful
skills and qualities to be gained by learning
improv, says Clipsham.
"Teamwork, number one; that's what
we're looking for in this world of work.
We're looking for people who are team
players that know how to be part of a cooperative
group," she says. "We're looking
for people with good listening skills, and
they've got it up the yin-yang. We're looking
for people who are flexible who don't
always have to have their way all the time.
Discipline, commitment, loyalty to a
team; they come out to every practice,
they're there for each other, no matter
what. And it's fun, that's the biggest reason
to do it."
Clipsham attributed the team's victory
in Sudbury to their teamwork and desire
to win.
"They were behind, and then they won
the wild card round and then they took
the whole thing, so it's a real comeback
story," she says.
This marked the first time in the history
of the competition that a wildcard team
won the competition.
"They stepped it up," adds Clipsham.
"Every time they got on that stage, they
got better. They wanted it so badly that
they went after it."
For 17-year-old Justin Boyce, improv
has been a great experience.
"I started back in Grade 9 because a
friend told me it was awesome," he says.
"A lot of my friends were on the team so I
thought I'd give it a try and I instantly fell
in love with it."
The school also has a junior team, Static
Shock, which will also be attending the
national competition as spectators.

Lifetime Dream # 43 of my list of 155: I will compose a book and have it published. I will review different media types such as coffee table books, fiction and photo books. I will have the book assigned an ISBN#, available to be purchased through any book store.
Writing has always been a passion of mine. In fact, my first story was written when I was 7. I still remember typing away at the type writer in the kitchen of my parent’s house. If only it didn’t border copy right laws of George Lucas movies, I probably would have had my parents send it off!
As it is, I am publishing my journal as an art book, hopefully sometime this spring. It will be a collection of all 3,000 pages of my first journal. Though I doubt many (if any) will sell, I’ll probably do the same thing for my second journal as well!
Pictured: I am in post-production of the final pages of my journal. Half the journey is writing the experiences and journeys on the page; the second part of finishing the page. I emboss the page numbers, erase the pencil lines, color in the pictures, scan the pages… it’s a process for sure. The paint brush I use to brush off the eraser shavings- they love to stick to hands. In the bottom left is a test page of the layout for production of the journal!
Taken for Our Daily Challenge .. Paper. I'm rather proud of this paper. This is Our Maine Street Magazine with one of my pictures. OMS contacted me asking for permission to use one of my photos to accompany a story by an Amish man telling the story of his family's move from NY state to Maine. They mirrored my photo and applied a fresco effect. A very high quality magazine.
The only facts known in relation to British merchant Charles Thompson are the ones he records in his travel account, about which some scholars have hypothesized that it is a fictional narrative. In any case, the work knew huge editorial success; first published in 1744, it was republished in 1752, 1754, 1767, and 1798. From the introduction, one learns that, following his father's death, Thompson inherited a large fortune and, from love of knowledge, in order to appease his sorrow and to satisfy his own natural curiosity, he started out on a long voyage, in the company of a freind who spoke several languages.
The travellers set out from London in March 1730. They crossed over from Dover to Calais, and travelled to Rouen, Paris and Marseille. They went on to Genoa, Milan, Parma, Modena, Bologna, Florence, Pisa and Sienna, to end up in Rome. In October 1731 they visited Naples, and then Ancona, Ravenna, Ferrara and Padua. They sailed to Malta from Venice in May 1732 and reached Chania in early June.
The two travellers left Crete a month later, and, after staying in Milos for a month, they visited Naxos, Paros, Antiparos, Delos, Syros, Kea, Kythnos, and reached Athens. They toured the monuments of the city and several locations in Attica, Boeotia and Phocis (Eleusis, Megara, Corinth, Livadeia, Arachova, Delphi and Thebes). In November 1732 they left for Istanbul, where they stayed for several months. In September 1733, they left the Dardanelles to visit Izmir, Chios, Samos, Patmos, Ephesus, Kos and Rhodes. They ended up in Cyprus in February 1734, from where they crossed over to the lands of the Middle East (Tripolis, Baalbek, Damascus, Beirut, Sidon, Jerusalem). In May 1734 they travelled to Egypt and toured Kairo, Alexandria and Mount Sinai. They returned to England in April 1735.
Thompson includes several details on travelling conditions as well as the history and the monuments of each country in his travel account. However, he is mostly interested in space, modern life, the human factor, social life, economy, production and commerce, and thus achieves to render an comprehensive and to a certain extent objective picture of the lands he visited in the early 18th century.

İngiliz asıllı tüccar Charles Thompson hakkında bildiğimiz şeyler sadece vakayınamesinden aldığımız bilgilerdir. Ancak bu vakayınamenin hayal ürünü bir anlatı olduğu ileri sürülmüştür. Gene de eser büyük başarı görmüş, yayınlandığı 1744 yılından sonra, 1752, 1754, 1767 ve 1798 yıllarında yeniden basılmıştı. Kitabın önsözünde okuduğumuza göre, Thompson, babasının ölümünden sonra büyük bir mirasa sahip olmuş ve "bir yandan bilgilerini çoğaltma arzusu öte yandan baba ölümünün kendisinde yaratmış olduğu üzüntüyü unutmak, son olarak da merağını tatmin etmek için" uzun bir yolculuğa çıkmaya karar verir, yanına ise yoldaş olarak birçok dil bilen bir arkadaşını alır.
1730 yılı Mart ayında Londra'dan yola çıkarlar, Dover'den Calais'ye (okunuş: Kale) geçtikten sonra Rouen, Paris ve Marsilya'yı ziyaret ederler. Yolun devamında Cenova, Milano, Parma, Modena, Bologna, Floransa, Piza ve Sienna'dan geçip Roma'ya varırlar. 1731'in Ekim ayında Napoli'yi ziyaret ederler, arkasından Ancona, Ravenna, Ferrara ve Padova'ya geçerler. 1732 Mayıs ayında Venedik'ten vapura binip Haziran başlarında Hanya'ya varırlar. Bir ay sonra yeniden yola çıkıp Milos adasında bir hafta kaldıktan sonra Naksos, Paros, Antiparos, Dilos, Siros, Kea, Kithnos adalarını ziyaret ederler ve nihayet Atina'ya varırlar. Atina'daki tarihi anıtları, Attika, Viotia (Boeotia), Fokida yörelerini (Eleusis, Megara, Korint, Livadia, Arahova, Delfi, Thiva sitlerini) ziyaret ederler ve 1732 Kasım ayında İstanbul'a gitmek üzere yola çıkarlar. İstanbul'da birkaç ay kalırlar. Yolculuklarının devamında 1733 Eylül ayında Çanakkale'den yola çıkıp İzmir, Hios (Sakız), Samos, Patmos, Efes, Kos (İstanköy) ve Rodos'u ziyaret ederler. 1734 Şubat ayında Kıbrıs'tan geçtikten sonra Orta Doğu'ya devam ederler ve Trablus, Baalbek, Şam (Damascus), Beyrut, Sayda (Sidon), Kudüs'ü ziyaret ederler. 1734 Mayıs ayında Mısır'a seyahat edip Kahire, İskenderiye ve Sina'yı ziyaret ederler. 1735 Nisan ayında ise İngiltere'ye dönerler.
Thompson vakayınamesinde yolculuğun koşulları ve ziyaret ettikleri her yerin tarihi ve anıtları hakkında ayrıntılı bilgiler vermektedir. İlgisinin odaklandığı noktalar doğal mekân, çağdaş yaşam, insan unsuru, toplumsal yaşam, ekonomi, üretim, ticaret gibi konulardır. Thompson bu eseriyle 18. yüzyılın ilk yarısında sözkonusu yerlerle ilgili çok yönlü ve nesnel bir bakış aktarmaktadır.

Le Touquet
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, commonly referred to as Le Touquet, is a commune near Etaples, in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It has a population of 5,355 but welcomes up to 250,000 people during the summer.
Le Touquet has a reputation as the most elegant holiday resort of northern France, the playground of rich Parisians (hence its full name), with many luxury hotels.
Since the mid-1990's, Le Touquet’s villas have become extremely fashionable amongst architecture lovers throughout Europe who have rediscovered the “folie” of seaside architecture of both the Roaring Twenties and the 1930's.
Town Trails
Today the town tourist office offers organised trails to see outstanding examples of 19th and 20th century domestic architecture, which are now preserved and protected.
Le Touquet's Early Years
In the 19th. century it was an area of wild sand dunes and forest - part of a hunting estate.
In 1902 Allen Stoneham and John Whitley bought the land through their company Le Touquet Syndicate Ltd., and were instrumental in developing the town into a golf and gambling resort.
It became known as “Paris by the Sea”, and strict building regulations encouraged the most talented architects to create imaginative and innovative developments. The most famous local architect is Louis Quetelart.
The Great War
During most of World War I, Le Touquet was the home of the Duchess of Westminster's (No 1 British Red Cross Society) Hospital for wounded British troops.
The No. 2 Canadian Stationary Hospital had the distinction of being the first Canadian Unit to land on French soil. No. 2 Stationary opened at the Hotel du Golf at Le Touquet on November 27, 1914.
All the 142 British Commonwealth war graves in Le Touquet's Communal Cemetery are from the hospitals. In the same cemetery a wooden obelisk was erected by the commune's lifeboatmen in honour of the British.
H. G. Wells
In 1909, H. G. Wells and Amber Reeves fled to Le Touquet in an abortive elopement. The two returned to Britain after a number of weeks, though Amber later gave birth to Wells's daughter, Anna-Jane Blanco White, after the relationship ended.
Noël Coward
In the 1920's, Noël Coward and the “smart set” from England spent weekends here, and commissioned more outstanding villa designs echoing traditional and ultra-modern domestic styles.
P. G. Wodehouse
P. G. Wodehouse lived in Le Touquet from 1934 to 1939.
