“Illiam Dhone: A Manx Historical Drama which won the Chruinnaght Gold Medal, 1924”
by J. J. Keen
Published by Yn Chruinnaght Vanninagh Ashoonagh, as “Publication No. 1”, in 1926
Printed by S. K. Broadgate & Co. Ltd., Douglas
A seven-scene play on the life, death and aftermath of William Christian (“Illiam Dhone”).The play is a masterful handling of the contentious question of the traitor/nationalist status of Illiam Dhone in handing the island over to the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War. Kneen manages to leave the question still open in the play, despite making Dhone a very strong and heroic character.
That J. J. Kneen (1873 - 1938) was perhaps the leading Manx linguist as well as scholar and nationalist of his day would not come as a surprise after reading this play. He had a great many articles and translations to him name, although his most famous work is probably the translation the Manx National Anthem into Manx.
Kneen was a keen playwright also, writing many plays on Manx topics and themes. This play of ‘Illiam Dhone’ is a curious instance in that Kneen deals with Dhone and the complex issues surrounding him masterfully while giving the play a very strange format - effectively splitting it into three parts:
(1) the Manx “rebellion” (in which Dhone does not appear throughout the first scene, when the Derby Monarchist rule is overthrown),
(2) the arrest, trial and execution of Dhone, eleven years later,
(3) the story of Dhone son’s overcoming a rival to marry the daughter of one of Dhone’s accusers.
It should be clear what a daring opening act it is to leap straight into the rebellion, but also what a curious final act Kneen gives the play. It almost feels as if the play would be better titled, ‘Illiam Dhone and the Curse of the Clan Christian’.
Some of the characterisation is wonderful, particularly the interplay of Lady Molineux and Bishop Rutter in Scene I, where Rutter’s almost camp reactions to her outspoken attacks of the Roundheads is brilliant when set against the raucous songs that are left to us by the historical Samuel Rutter (Bishop 1660-1662/3). But this is nothing to the brilliant handling of Dhone himself, who is heroic, clearly drawn and yet vague at the same time. This is perhaps shown in one of the key lines in the play when Dhone is refusing to try to escape from the troops out to arrest him:
Christian:
Were it a crime to be a patriot, then am I a criminal indeed. I ever placed my country before aught else.
[...]
‘Twould be as well for a mouse to struggle against a lion, as for our puny little Isle to attempt to dictate to the armed forces if the English State.
[Scene III., p. 11]

The Postcard

Scarborough
Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire. The town lies between 10–230 feet (3–70 m) above sea level, rising steeply northward and westward from the harbour on to limestone cliffs. The older part of the town lies around the harbour, and is protected by a rocky headland.
With a population of just over 61,000, Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast. The town has fishing and service industries, including a growing digital and creative economy, as well as being a tourist destination. People who live in the town are known as Scarborians.
The Development of Scarborough as a Resort
In 1626, Mrs Thomasin Farrer discovered a stream of acidic water running from one of the cliffs to the south of the town. This gave birth to Scarborough Spa, and Dr. Robert Wittie's book about the spa waters published in 1660 attracted a flood of visitors to the town.
Scarborough Spa became Britain's first seaside resort, though the first rolling bathing machines were not noted on the sands until 1735. It was a popular getaway destination for the wealthy of London.
The coming of the Scarborough-York railway in 1845 increased the tide of visitors. Scarborough railway station claims to have the world's longest platform seat. From the 1880's until the First World War, Scarborough was one of the regular destinations for The Bass Excursions, when fifteen trains would take between 8,000 and 9,000 employees of Bass's Burton brewery on an annual trip to the seaside.
The Grand Hotel
When the Grand Hotel was completed in 1867 it was one of the largest hotels in the world, and one of the first giant purpose-built hotels in Europe.
Four towers represent the seasons, 12 floors represent the months, 52 chimneys represent the weeks, and originally 365 bedrooms represented the days of the year. A blue plaque outside marks where the novelist Anne Brontë died in 1849. She was buried in the graveyard of St. Mary's Church by the castle.
Maritime Events Associated With Scarborough
During the Great War, the town was bombarded by German warships. Scarborough Pier Lighthouse, built in 1806, was damaged in the attack.
In 1929 the steam drifter Ascendent caught a 560-pound (250 kg) tunny (Atlantic bluefin tuna), and a Scarborough showman awarded the crew 50 shillings so he could exhibit it as a tourist attraction.
Big-game tunny fishing off Scarborough effectively started in 1930 when Lawrie Mitchell-Henry landed a tunny caught on rod and line weighing 560 pounds (250 kg).
A gentlemen's club, the British Tunny Club, was founded in 1933, and set up its headquarters in the town at the place which is now a restaurant with the same name.
Sir Edward Peel landed a world-record tunny of 798 pounds (362 kg), capturing the record by 40 pounds (18.1 kg) from one caught off Nova Scotia by American champion Zane Grey. The British record, which still stands, is for a fish weighing 851 pounds (386 kg) caught off Scarborough in 1933 by Lawrie Mitchell-Henry.
On the 5th. June 1993 Scarborough made headlines around the world when a landslip caused part of the Holbeck Hall Hotel, along with its gardens, to fall into the sea.
Although the slip was shored up with rocks and the land has long since grassed over, evidence of the cliff's collapse remains clearly visible from The Esplanade, near Shuttleworth Gardens.

One of my old photos has been published in Popular Photography's latest book "The Complete Photo Manual." The image is totally unrelated to the tip associated with it, but it's still cool to see my work in a book again. And, once again, it's a jumping photo. Hmm… I should take more jumping photos...

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 29th of October 1915.
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.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Lévy Fils et Cie of Paris.
German gunners used to target churches and cathedrals in France and Belgium, partly out of boredom, partly to practise their skills, but mainly because the height of such ecclesiastical buildings made them ideal observation posts for the Allies.
These buildings, along with châteaux and other large secular edifices, were literally sitting targets - they couldn't be moved or made smaller or camouflaged, hence the appalling damage that many of these beautiful buildings sustained from enemy artillery - they just had to sit there and take it.
Visé Paris no. 656
The card would have been published during or soon after the end of the Great War, because the reference to 'Visé Paris no. 656' indicates that the military authorities in the French capital had deemed that the image did not present a security risk.
Soissons
Soissons is one of the oldest towns in Northern France. During most of the Great War the town was behind the Franco-British lines, and was heavily bombarded before being captured by the Germans in May 1918.
tamu.edu have posted a review of a book called "Soissons, 1918" by D.V. Johnson II and R.L. Hillman Jr.
In the review they state:
"It is the last 5% of possible exertion that often wins the battle". Brigadier Gen. Hanson Ely's statement best exemplifies the efforts of his troops as part of the allied contingent at the Battle of Soissons, July 18-22, 1918.
At a cost of more than 12,000 soldiers and marines dead, wounded and missing, American troops struck the Germans with such force that they lost the initiative for the remainder of the war.
'Soissons, 1918' provides a detailed account of this pivotal battle in which partly trained, inexperienced American soldiers and marines turned the tide of war.
Despite strange French command methods, alien equipment (such as masses of tanks), immature American staff work, and difficulties in communicating with advancing troops, American enthusiasm and willingness to 'finish the job' briefly shattered German defences, caused panic, and ultimately unhinged the Germans' carefully prepared strategic plans".
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
If the 170m rounds were on average two feet long, and if they were laid end to end, they would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres); the line would go round the equator over two and a half times. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'

Subcity Radio In The Park
Oh, how sad we were, how quiet it all seemed, when their licence expired and Subcity Radio turned off its transmitter last April. The good news, however, is that the only truly alternative radio station around is back on the air this month in association with T In The Park. Station Manager, Richard Wilkinson, proposed the idea of a collaboration to the festival promoters df Concerts in February and, subject to Radio Authority approval, Subcity Radio In The Park will be tickling the airwaves from July 4 to July 24, hopefully on 105.4FM. The idea is for the radio coverage to create a buzz around the event. The station also plan to broadcast to the 1000's of music lovers planning to camp at the festival on the July 13 - 14.
Df Concerts, evidently fell that Subcity's eclectic music policy is more attractive to the T In The Park punters than a higher profile station. "If they wanted Radio One, they'd have got Radio One - and they'd have paid Radio One," laughs Richard. Subcity hope that the additional exposure the station will receive help fuel its continuing success and encourage the Radio Broadcasting Authority to more generous in their allocation of a vital broadcasting licence. Richard explained their belief that there is a huge audience out there who are looking for a regular station like Subcity. Apart from a sprinkling of shows such as Radio Scotland's Beat Patrol there is very little in the way of decent music radio for anyone who doesn't enjoy listening to the usual chart fodder. Subcity, run by Glasgow University's SRC, also serves an important role in supporting the Glasgow music scene and in providing real training for the broadcasters of tomorrow. So, come July 4, turn on, tune in and enjoy.
