The Postcard
A postcard that was published by F. Frith & Co. Ltd. of Reigate. The card was posted in West Horsley using a halfpenny stamp on Thursday the 10th. August 1916. It was sent to:
Mr. S. G. Elliott,
J. Spicer & Sons Ltd.,
50, Upper Thames St.,
London.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Having a grand time,
perfect weather.
I walked to Shere on
Monday, pity we took
the wrong road on the
Saturday as it is such a
beautiful walk from
here.
J.G.L."
The Sinking of the Kasagi
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 10th. August 1916, the Japanese cruiser Kasagi sank after running aground in the Tsugaru Strait.
The Battle of the Somme
Also on that day, the official British documentary propaganda film The Battle of the Somme premièred in London.
In the first six weeks of general release, 20 million people viewed it.
Addie L. Ballou
The 10th. August 1916 also marked the death of the American poet activist Addie L. Ballou.
Addie, who was born in 1838, was a leading advocate for women's suffrage, temperance and prison reform.
She was also the author of poetry collections Driftwood and The Padre’s Dream and Other Poems.
Charles Dawson
The day also marked the death of Charles Dawson, British amateur archaeologist.
Charles, who was born on the 11th. July 1864 in Preston, Lancashire, was charged with fraud on several archaeological discoveries including the Piltdown Man.
Charles was a British amateur archaeologist who claimed to have made a number of archaeological and palaeontological discoveries that were later exposed to be frauds. These forgeries included the Piltdown Man (Eoanthropus Dawsoni), a unique set of bones that he claimed to have found in 1912 in Sussex.
Many technological methods such as fluorine testing indicate that this discovery was a hoax, and Dawson, the only one with the skill and knowledge to generate this forgery, was a major suspect.
The eldest of three sons, Dawson moved with his family from Preston, Lancashire, to Hastings, Sussex, when he was still very young. He initially studied law, in order to become his father's apprentice, and then pursued a hobby of collecting and studying fossils.
Dawson made a number of seemingly important fossil finds. Amongst these were teeth from a previously unknown species of mammal, later named Plagiaulax Dawsoni in his honour.
Other Dawson discoveries were three new species of dinosaur, one later named Iguanodon Dawsoni; and a new form of fossil plant, Salaginella Dawsoni.
In appreciation for Charles' donation of fossils, the Natural History Museum awarded him the title of "Honorary Collector".
In 1885, he was elected a fellow of the Geological Society as a result of his numerous discoveries. He was then elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1895. He was now Charles Dawson F.G.S., F.S.A at the age of 31, without a university degree to his name.
-- Chales Dawson's Alleged Discoveries
In 1889, Dawson was a co-founder of the Hastings and St. Leonards Museum Association, one of the first voluntary museum friends' groups organised in Great Britain.
Dawson worked on a voluntary basis as a member of the Museum Committee, in charge of the acquisition of artifacts and historical documents.
His interest in archaeology developed, and he had an uncanny knack for making spectacular discoveries, leading The Sussex Daily News to name him the "Wizard of Sussex".
In 1893, Dawson investigated a curious flint mine full of prehistoric, Roman and medieval artifacts in the Lavant Caves, near Chichester, and probed two tunnels beneath Hastings Castle.
In the same year, he presented the British Museum with a Roman statuette from Beauport Park that was made, uniquely for the period, of cast iron. Other discoveries followed, including a strange form of hafted Neolithic stone axe and a well-preserved ancient timber boat.
Charles analysed ancient quarries, re-examined the Bayeux Tapestry, and produced the first conclusive study of Hastings Castle. He later found fake evidence for the final phases of Roman occupation in Britain at Pevensey Castle in Sussex.
Investigating unusual elements of the natural world, Dawson presented a petrified toad inside a flint nodule, discovered a large supply of natural gas at Heathfield in East Sussex, reported on a sea-serpent in the English Channel, observed a new species of human, and found a strange goldfish/carp hybrid.
It was even reported that he was experimenting with phosphorescent bullets as a hindrance to Zeppelin attacks on London during the Great War.
-- Piltdown Man
Dawson's most famous "find" was the 1912 discovery of the Piltdown Man, which was billed as the "missing link" between humans and other great apes. Following his death in 1916, no further "discoveries" were made at Piltdown.
Questions about the Piltdown find were raised from the beginning, first by Arthur Keith, but also by palaeontologists and anatomists from the United States and Europe.
Defence of the validity of the fossils was led by Arthur Smith Woodward at the Natural History Museum in London. The debate was rancorous at times, and the response to those disputing the finds often became personally abusive.
Challenges to Piltdown Man arose again in the 1920s, but were again dismissed.
-- Posthumous Analysis
In 1949, further questions were raised about the Piltdown Man and its authenticity, which led in 1953 to the conclusive demonstration that Piltdown was a hoax.
Since then, a number of Dawson's other finds have also been shown to be forged or planted.
In 2003, Miles Russell of Bournemouth University published the results of his investigation into Dawson's antiquarian collection, and concluded that at least 38 specimens were clear fakes.
Russell has noted that:
"Dawson's whole academic career appears
to have been one built upon deceit, sleight
of hand, fraud and deception, the ultimate
gain being international recognition."
Among these were the teeth of a reptile/mammal hybrid, Plagiaulax Dawsoni, purportedly "found" in 1891; the creature's teeth had been filed down in the same way that the teeth of Piltdown Man were to be some 20 years later).
Other 'finds' included:
-- The so-called "shadow figures" on the walls
of Hastings Castle
-- A unique hafted stone axe
-- The Bexhill boat (a hybrid seafaring vessel)
-- The Pevensey bricks (allegedly the latest
datable "finds" from Roman Britain)
-- The contents of the Lavant Caves (a fraudulent
"flint mine"
-- The Beauport Park "Roman" statuette (a
hybrid iron object)
-- The Bulverhythe hammer (shaped with an
iron knife in the same way as the Piltdown
elephant bone implement was later shaped)
-- A fraudulent "Chinese" bronze vase
-- The Brighton "toad in the hole" (a toad
entombed within a flint nodule)
-- The English Channel sea serpent
-- The Uckfield horseshoe (another hybrid
iron object)
-- The Lewes prick spur.
Of Dawson's antiquarian publications, most demonstrate evidence of plagiarism, or at least naive referencing. As Russell wrote:
"Piltdown was not a 'one-off' hoax,
more the culmination of a life's work."
Dawson claimed to have discovered a collection of fossils that had been dug up in Piltdown, Sussex, including an ape-like jawbone and a human-like skull.
However, after his death, it was proven that the remains were evidently forged. For years, the creator of these remains was unknown, though it was then determined, through a meticulous inspection of his finds and collections, that Charles Dawson was most likely responsible for this forgery.
-- Unmasking the Hoax
As more human fossils were discovered, it appeared that they had little in common with the Piltdown Man. The Piltdown Man was re-examined through new, rigorous technological methods which ultimately uncovered the hoax.
A fluoride-based test, a chemical test that dates fossils by the amount of fluorine that buried bones absorb from the soil, was used to date the Piltdown remains. This test, validated by a nitrogen-based test, dated the skull to not more than 50,000 years old, far more recent than Dawson proposed, and dated the jawbone to decades old.
This meant that the Piltdown Man could not have been an ancestor of modern humans. Furthermore, chemical tests displayed that the fossils had been artificially stained by iron and chromium to appear medieval.
Also, CT scans used to analyzed the inside of the bones indicated that many bones were loaded with gravel and were then sealed with putty.
Furthermore, X-rays indicate that the teeth have been flattened by filing or grinding in order to appear like human teeth.
Lastly, in 2016, a team of British researchers used DNA studies to provide added evidence for the provenance of Piltdown Man. It was determined that the Piltdown I jawbone and the Piltdown II molar tooth came from a single orangutan, and the cranial bones came from primitive humans.
Analyses of the material also exhibited the forger's lack of professional training, as the materials had fractured bones, putty that had set too fast, and cracked teeth.
-- Revealing the Forger
Most agree that the Piltdown Man was forged by a single individual, and that this was most probably Charles Dawson. Dawson was the suspected perpetrator in this hoax for many reasons.
First, Dawson had a previous history of deception: he was responsible for about 38 forgeries, he had plagiarized a historical account of Hastings Castle, and had pretended to act on behalf of the Sussex Archeological Society. However, most people were unaware of this.
Second, he was majorly involved in the Piltdown findings. He initiated the story of the Piltdown finds, and was the one who contacted Woodward about them. He was the sole person to have seen the Piltdown II site, and never disclosed the facts about this site.
Third, the fact that the techniques used to create both Piltdown I and Piltdown II were so similar suggests a single forger.
Fourth, Dawson was the only person present at every discovery; nothing was ever discovered at the site when he was not physically present, and no other fossils were subsequently found after he had died.
Fifth, not only did he have access to the museum and antiquarian shops that carried these objects, he was also a popular collector, a prolific networker, and knew what the British scientific community expected in a missing link between apes and humans.
It has been suggested that Dawson's motive for this forgery had been his strong desire for scientific recognition, and to join the archeological Royal Society.
Between 1883 and 1909, Dawson wrote 50 publications, though none were important enough to elevate his career. In 1909, he wrote a letter to Smith Woodward, with an unhappy heart, saying that he wanted to uncover a significant discovery, though he never seemed to come across one.
Just six weeks later, Dawson's wife wrote a letter to the Home Secretary, pleading on behalf of Dawson's expertise.
Sorrowful that he never unearthed a major discovery, he created the Piltdown Man which resulted in his election to the Royal Society.
Although there is not a substantial amount of evidence, many believe that he received aid from other experts such as Teilhard de Chardin, who worked with Dawson on early excavations, and Sir Arthur Smith Woodward, Keeper of the Department at the Natural History Museum, a friend of Dawson, and co-author of the announcement of Piltdown II.
-- The Death of Charles Dawson
Charles died at the young age of 52 from pernicious amaemia on the 10th. August 1916 in Lewes, Sussex. He died without receiving a knighthood.
John J. Loud
John J. Loud also died on that day.
John, who was born in 1844, was an American entrepreneur, and designer of the ballpoint pen.
Loud invented and obtained a patent for what is considered to be the first ballpoint pen in 1888; however, his invention was not commercialized, and the patent eventually lapsed.
The modern ballpoint pen was patented later in 1938 by László Bíró, 22 years after Loud's death.
Since László Bíró's patent, over 100 billion ballpoint pens have been sold worldwide. 100 billion pens laid end to end would form a line 15 million kilometres long; it would encircle the earth 374 times. That's a lot of pens!

The Hôtel des Anglais
The excellent website scarletfinders.co.uk tells us that in the first winter of the Great War, the Duchess of Westminster's Hospital, afterwards No. 1 Red Cross, was opened at the Casino in Le Touquet.
A pressing need arose for the housing of wives and close relatives who were allowed to visit wounded men at the hospital. Accordingly the British Red Cross Society opened the Hôtel des Anglais in October 1915 as a Red Cross hostel.
The hostel was well situated, being within 3 minutes' walk of the hospital. It had two wings connected by long dining rooms, with a shady garden on the edge of the Forest of Le Touquet.
The Hôtel des Anglais was the first hostel to receive relatives, and it acted as a pioneer for further hostels. It remained open for three years until August 1918.
The guests, who were not required to pay for their stay, were very diverse - wealthy people, village shopkeepers, labourers and their wives, suffered together, feared together, hoped together, and helped each other.
None needed help more than the wives and mothers and fathers racked by fear and anxiety, prolonged in many cases from week to week, and sometimes for months.
For much more fascinating information about the hotel's rôle in the Great War, please refer to scarletfinders.co.uk
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.

"Kneeland man honored for decoy carving"
Leonard Rousseau of Kneeland recently won the World Championship title in the decorative decoy pairs division at this year’s 48th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving and Art Festival in Ocean City, Maryland.
This is an international event that features about 1,200 different wildfowl carvings representing more than 150 species from around the world.
Rousseau has been carving decoys for over 30 years and has won numerous Best of Show awards. His carvings have been featured in Wildfowl Carving magazine, have been purchased by collectors from across the country and can be seen in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Visitor Center in Loleta. His winning pair of Gadwall ducks will be on display for one year at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art.

What is the Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show?
The show is an event where carvers, collectors, and visitors convene in Astoria, Oregon. From highly decorative works of art to functional hunting decoys, about 400 different carvings from around the United States and Canada can be viewed.
Woodcarvers of all levels – from youth to novices to world champions – compete against their peers for the chance to win prize money and ribbons. There are over 50 different categories in which an artist can compete. The show is a waterfowl, wildlife, fish, native American, Artistic Creations, and other wood carving competitions and art show.
The show's purpose is to promote these art forms.
Artists from all over come to compete and display their art forms. Most artists are from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Montana, and British Columbia although there are artists from all over the United States and Canada in attendance. Mail-in entries are also accepted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It all began with an idea to show the beauty of hand-carved waterfowl and wildlife.
Since 1988, the Columbia Flyway Show has been a labor of love for the Feather and Quill Carvers Club. The show has progressed from meager beginnings in the Columbia Art Center, a converted old church basement, to motel conference rooms, to the City of Vancouver's Water Resources Education Center. The show has enjoyed a wonderful 10-year run in Vancouver.
After the hugely successful 2019 show, the event has outgrown the Center. After two non-show years due to the Covid Virus, the 2022 event was held in Astoria, Oregon, on the beautiful Oregon Coast.
The Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show has become one of the premier wildlife carving shows in the country as a result of the dedication of a small group of carvers and artists, as well as membership in the International Wildfowl Carvers Association. Carvers come from all over the U.S. and Canada to participate in the competition and to share with and learn from other carvers and artists.
The new venue, the Clatsop County Fairgrounds and Expo Center feature a new, spacious 15,000 s/f exhibit hall. Due to the size of the Expo Center, there is ample room for displays, vendors, and demos.
A large part of the success of the Flyway Show is the ongoing seminars by Professional and World Champion carvers. Friday is dedicated to a full-day, hands-on pay class. Saturday and Sunday find non-stop free and pay seminars open to all visitors.
The banquet is held in the showroom on Saturday evening. Good food, fun, and fellowship are followed by the after-dinner auction. A wonderful evening in a beautiful setting!
This new venue is picture-perfect with every amenity for a show focusing on wildlife art. Astoria, Oregon, located at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, is rich in history. Astoria is a wonderful area to enjoy all the sites of the beautiful Oregon Coast. Lots of hotels, restaurants, and tourist sights to enjoy.
Make your plans now to attend the wildlife carving show, “ON THE OTHER COAST”.

Ostend
Ostend (Dutch: Oostende, French: Ostende) is a coastal city located in the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium.
On the 19th. September 1826 the local artillery magazine exploded. At least 20 people were killed and a further 200 injured. The affluent quarter of d'Hargras was levelled, and scarcely a building in the city escaped damage. Disease followed the devastation, leading to further deaths.
Ostend became a transit harbour to England in 1846 when the first ferry sailed to Dover.
Important for the image of the town was the attention it started to receive from the Belgian kings Leopold I and Leopold II. Both monarchs liked to spend their holidays in Ostend.
Important monuments and villas were built to please the Royal Family, including the Hippodrome Wellington horse racing track and the Royal Galleries. The rest of aristocratic Belgium followed, and soon Ostend became known as:
"The Queen of Belgian
Seaside Resorts".
Ostend (in common with nearly the entirety of the country) was occupied by German forces and used as an access point to the sea for submarines and other light naval forces for much of the duration of the Great War. As a consequence the port was subjected to two naval assaults by the British Royal Navy.
World War II involved a second occupation of the town by Germany within a period of little more than twenty years; an occupation which it shared this time with most of northern Europe.
Both conflicts brought significant destruction to Ostend. In addition, other opulent buildings which had survived the wars were later replaced with structures in the modernist style.
