The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by H. David of Béthune.
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.
Shells aimed at churches which just missed their target tended to fall in the churchyards, throwing up gravestones, coffins and corpses.
Vermelles
Vermelles is a village that was just behind the British lines on the Western Front. The château was used as an Advanced Dressing Station during the Battle of Loos which took place from the 25th. September to the 8th. October 1915.
The Use of Chlorine Gas
The battle represented the largest British attack of 1915, and was the first time that the British used poison gas. Prior to the attack, about 140 tons (140,000 kg) of chlorine was released with mixed success - in places the gas was blown back into British trenches (Friendly Gas - a ghastly variation of the term Friendly Fire).
Due to the inefficiency of the available gas masks, many British soldiers removed them as they could not see through the fogged-up eyepieces or could barely breathe with them on. This led to many casualties when the gas blew back.
'Reconciliation'
Siegfried Sassoon wrote a poem called 'Reconciliation'. Here it is:
'When you are standing at your hero’s grave,
Or near some homeless village where he died,
Remember, through your heart’s rekindling pride,
The German soldiers who were loyal and brave.
Men fought like brutes; and hideous things were done;
And you have nourished hatred, harsh and blind.
But in that Golgotha perhaps you’ll find
The mothers of the men who killed your son'.
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!'

Raul Midón è un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense.
Midón ha iniziato la sua carriera come cantante per diversi artisti latini in sessioni di studio, tra cui Shakira, Alejandro Sanz, Julio Iglesias e Jose Feliciano. Dopo essere stato in tour con Shakira, si è trasferito a New York e si è concentrato completamente sulla sua carriera solista, con la sola eccezione del lavoro al fianco del rinomato produttore DJ Little Louie Vega. Ha scritto e registrato diverse canzoni, tra cui Cerca De Mi con Louie e il suo team di produzione sotto il nome di Elements of Life. Gli Elements of Life, capeggiati da Louie Vega, hanno fatto una tournée in Europa, Giappone e Australia tra il 2003 e il 2004.
In questo periodo, Midón è stato presentato alle etichette discografiche in una maniera unica. Il suo manager del tempo organizzava degli incontri con i produttori in cui Midon si sarebbe esibito dal vivo. Questa tattica ha portato Midon a firmare con il produttore vincitore del Grammy Arif Mardin (Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin) alla Manhattan Records, una filiale della Capitol Records posseduta dalla EMI. Mardin, insieme al figlio Joe, ha prodotto l’album di debutto di Midòn, acclamato dalla critica, State of Mind.
Two accounts, published in the 1640s, one in Spanish, one in Nahuatl, tell how, while walking from his village to Mexico City in the early morning of December 9, 1531 (then the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in the Spanish Empire), the peasant Juan Diego saw on the slopes of the Hill of Tepeyac a vision of a girl of fifteen or sixteen years of age, surrounded by light. Speaking to him in Nahuatl, the local language, she asked that a church be built at that site, in her honor; from her words, Juan Diego recognized the Lady as the Virgin Mary. Diego told his story to the Spanish Archbishop, Fray Juan de Zumárraga, who instructed him to return to Tepeyac Hill, and ask the lady for a miraculous sign to prove her identity. The first sign was the Virgin healing Juan's uncle. The Virgin told Juan Diego to gather flowers from the top of Tepeyac Hill. Although December was very late in the growing season for flowers to bloom, Juan Diego found at the usually barren hilltop Castilian roses, not native to Mexico, which the Virgin arranged in his peasant tilma cloak. When Juan Diego opened the cloak before Bishop Zumárraga on December 12, the flowers fell to the floor, and in their place was the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, miraculously imprinted on the fabric.
The icon is now displayed in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, one of the most visited Marian shrines. The icon is Mexico’s most popular religious and cultural image.

The Albertina
The architectural history of the Palais
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Image: The oldest photographic view of the newly designed Palais Archduke Albrecht, 1869
"It is my will that the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".
This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.
Image: The Old Albertina after 1920
It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.
The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.
In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.
Picture: The "audience room" after the restoration: Picture: The "balcony room" around 1990
The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:
After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".
Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905
This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.
The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.
Image: The Albertina Graphic Arts Collection and the Philipphof after the American bombing of 12 März 1945.
Image: The palace after the demolition of the entrance facade, 1948-52
Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.
Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei
This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.
Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb
The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard bearing no publisher's name that was published prior to June 1918. The card, which has a divided back, was printed in Germany.
Rotten Row
Rotten Row (to the right of the picture) is a broad track running along the south side of Hyde Park in London.
Rotten Row was established by William III, who created the broad avenue and lit it with 300 oil lamps in 1690 - the first artificially lit highway in the UK.
Rotten Row is a common street name in towns and villages in England and Scotland. It describes a place where there was once a row of tumbledown cottages infested with rats (raton), and goes back at least to the 14th. century.
In the 18th. century and onward, Rotten Row became a popular meeting place for upper-class Londoners. Particularly on weekend evenings and at midday, people would dress in their finest clothes in order to ride on horseback along the Row and be seen by others.
The adjacent South Carriage Drive (on the left in the photograph) was used by society people in carriages for the same purpose.
Rotten Row is still maintained as a bridleway to ride horses in the centre of London, but it is little used - there are few horses in central London, although the Household Cavalry, stabled nearby at Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge, exercise their horses there.
The IRA Car Bomb
A sad day in the Regiment's history was the 20th. July 1982, when the IRA set off a car bomb by remote control as The Queen's Life Guard were passing. Four men and seven horses were killed.
To this day, each time the The Queen's Life Guard pass where the bomb was detonated, they bring their swords down from the "slope" to the "carry", coupled with an "eyes right" or "eyes left" as an ongoing tribute.
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Wildt & Kray of London NW. The card was printed in England. Note that the man is smoking a cigarette while he is paddling in the sea.
The card was posted in Margate using a ½d. stamp on Monday the 6th. July 1914, thirty days before Great Britain declared war on Germany.
The card was sent to:
Miss J. Ling,
3, Albert Road,
Silvertown,
London E.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear J,
Arrived here safe. Having
a good time, weather fine.
This is a nice place, with
sea at the end of the road.
Hope you enjoyed your
holidays.
Miss G. is away this week.
Love from us both,
P."
The Silvertown Explosion
If Miss Ling were still living in Albert Road in 1917, she would certainly have heard, and may well have been injured or killed by the Silvertown explosion, as Albert Road is less than a mile away from where it happened.
The explosion occurred in Silvertown in West Ham, Essex on Friday the 19th. January 1917 at 6:52 pm. The blast occurred at a munitions factory that was manufacturing explosives for Britain's Great War military effort.
Approximately 50 tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT) exploded, killing 73 people and injuring 400 more, as well as causing substantial damage in the local area.
This was not the first, last, largest, or the most deadly explosion at a munitions facility in Britain during the war; an explosion at Faversham involving 200 tons of TNT killed 105 in 1916, and the National Shell Filling Factory, Chilwell, exploded in 1918, killing 137.
The munitions factory was built in 1893 on the south side (River Thames side) of the North Woolwich Road, nearly opposite Mill Road by Brunner Mond, a forerunner of Imperial Chemical Industries, originally to produce soda crystals and caustic soda.
Production of caustic soda ceased in 1912, which left part of the factory idle. Two years into the war, the Army was facing a crippling shell shortage.
The War Office decided to use the factory's surplus capacity to purify TNT, a process more dangerous than manufacture itself, even though the factory was in a highly populated area.
Despite opposition from Brunner Mond, production of TNT began in September 1915. The method used was invented by Brunner Mond's chief scientist F. A. Freeth, who claimed:
"The process is manifestly
very dangerous".
The plant purified TNT at a rate of approximately 9 tons per day until it was destroyed by the explosion.
Another plant, at Gadbrook, was built in 1916 and was producing TNT at a higher rate than the Silvertown factory, away from populated areas, with more stringent safety standards. Both factories were in full production.
-- The Explosion
On the 19th. January 1917, a fire broke out in the melt-pot room, and efforts to put it out were under way when approximately 50 tons of TNT ignited at 6:52 pm.
The TNT plant was destroyed instantly, as were many nearby buildings, including the Silvertown Fire Station. Much of the TNT was in railway goods wagons awaiting transport. Debris was strewn for miles around, with red-hot chunks of rubble causing fires.
A gas holder was damaged on the Greenwich Peninsula, creating a fireball from 200,000 cubic metres of gas; the holder was later repaired and remained until 1986.
Several thousand pounds' worth of goods were also destroyed in nearby warehouses, estimated by the Port of London Authority to span 7 hectares (17 acres).
The chancel and church hall of the local church, St Barnabas', were destroyed, only to be replaced in 1926.
73 people were killed (69 immediately, and four later from their injuries), and more than 400 injured. Up to 70,000 properties were damaged, with 900 nearby ones being totally destroyed or unsalvageably damaged.
The comparatively low death toll for such a large blast was due to the time of day. The factories were largely empty of workers (there were fewer than forty in the TNT factory itself), but it was too early for the upper floors of houses (which sustained the worst of the flying debris damage) to be heavily populated.
Also, it occurred on a Friday, when fewer people were around the factory. However, several firemen and volunteers were killed or seriously injured in the explosion.
Reportedly, the explosion also blew the glass out of windows in the Savoy Hotel and almost overturned a taxi in Pall Mall, London, the fires could be seen in Maidstone and Guildford, and the blast was heard up to 100 miles (160 km) away, including at Sandringham in Norfolk and along the Sussex coast.
Although the blast was heard at a great distance, it was not heard uniformly across the whole intermediate distance, owing to atmospheric effects caused by refraction of the sound waves.
-- Response to the Silvertown Explosion
The emergency services immediately became involved in putting out the fires caused by the explosion, treating the wounded, and beginning to repair the damage caused.
First-aid stations were set up in the streets to treat minor injuries. A Salvation Army rescue team was sent into the area under Catherine Bramwell-Booth, and the YMCA also rendered aid, including food and hot drinks.
Thousands were left homeless, requiring temporary accommodation in schools, churches, and other similar places.
1,700 men were employed in the reconstruction task by February 1917.
£3m in aid was paid to those affected by the blast, equivalent to approximately £40m in 2007, of which £1m was paid to local businesses and factories, including £185,000 to Brunner-Mond.
Six hundred houses had been demolished by the explosion and 400 new ones were built as replacements. Three hundred others had been repaired and many more re-slated.
The Ministry of Munitions announced the explosion in the following day's newspaper, and ordered an investigation led by Sir Ernley Blackwell, published on the 24th. February 1917.
A definite single cause of the explosion was not determined, invalidating early theories such as German sabotage or an air-raid, but it was found that the factory's site was inappropriate for the manufacture of TNT.
Management and safety practices at the plant were also criticised: TNT was stored in unsafe containers, close to the plant and the risky production process. The report was not disclosed to the public until the 1950's.
The former TNT factory's grounds are, as of 2015, empty, not having been built upon since the explosion. The other part of the factory remained open after being repaired, until finally closing in 1961. This is also idle, as of 2015.
-- The Silvertown Explosion in Popular Culture
The Silvertown Explosion is dramatised in the LWT TV series Upstairs, Downstairs (series 4, episode 9, "Another Year").
Scullery maid Ruby Finch had left her employer, the Bellamy family at 165 Eaton Place, to work in a munitions factory for the war effort. The explosion is not only heard at the home of her former employer in Belgravia, but it literally rocks the house.
The residents can see a great fire in the distance, "down the river somewhere". Ruby makes her way back to the house and relates her account of being in the factory when the explosion occurred. She is in deep shock and her face is covered in a sulphurous yellow residue.
In Pat Mills's comic-strip, Charley's War, the hero, Charley Bourne, is wounded on the Somme and returns home to Silvertown to be confronted by the aftermath of the explosion. Several subsequent strips depict a Zeppelin raid on the munitions factories in the area and deal with the residents' fears of a repeat of the disaster.
In the Charlie Higson Young Bond novel Double or Die, Brunner Mond is one of the cryptic clues and reference is made to the explosion.
In A Study in Murder by Robert Ryan, the explosion blows in the windows of a hotel where Mrs. Gregson is dining, despite being located miles away from the factory.
The Komagata Maru Incident
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 6th. July 1914, the British Columbia Court of Appeal gave a unanimous judgement that it had no authority to interfere with the decision of the Department of Immigration and Colonization.
This allowed the Canadian government legal standing to order Vancouver harbor's tug Sea Lion to push the Japanese vessel out to sea with more than 300 Sikhs and other British Indian subjects on board.
The July Crisis
Also on that day, British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey received warning from German ambassador Karl Max of likely war in the Balkans, but Grey was optimistic that a peaceful solution would be reached through Anglo-German co-operation.
Meanwhile, Kaiser Wilhelm went on his annual cruise of the North Sea at the insistence of his courtiers, even though he wished to remain in Berlin until the crisis was resolved.
The Murder of a Poet
Also on the 6th. July 1914, celebrated Uruguayan poet Delmira Agustini was murdered in her Montevideo home by her ex-husband Enrique Job Reyes, a month after the couple had divorced. They had married in 1913, but Agustini left Reyes a month later. She was 27 years of age when shed died.
Reyes shot her twice before turning the gun on himself.
On the centennial of Delmira's death, the city of Montevideo unveiled a statue of her by artist Martín Sastre in her memory and other victims of gender-based violence.
-- Bio of Delmira Agustini
Born in Montevideo, Delmira began writing when she was ten, and had her first book of poems published when she was still a teenager.
Rubén Darío, a Nicaraguan poet, was an important influence for her. Darío compared Agustini to Teresa of Ávila, stating that Agustini was the only woman writer since the saint to express herself as a woman.
Delmira specialized in the topic of female sexuality during a time when the literary world was dominated by men. Agustini's writing style is best classified in the first phase of modernism, with themes based on fantasy and exotic subjects.
Eros, god of love, symbolizes eroticism and is the inspiration to Agustini's poems about carnal pleasures. Eros is the protagonist in many of Agustini's literary works.
She even dedicated her third book to him titled Los Cálices Vacíos (Empty Chalices) in 1913, which was acclaimed as her entrance into a new literary movement, "La Vanguardia" (The Vanguard).
Delmira was laid to rest in the Central Cemetery of Montevideo.
Gustav Hamel
Also on that day, a French fishing vessel in the English Channel off Boulogne found a body floating in the water.
Although they did not retrieve the corpse, the crew described the body's clothing as belonging to a pilot, and recovered from it a road map of southern England.
The evidence suggested that the body was that of Gustav Hamel, who disappeared while flying six weeks earlier.
Gustav Wilhelm Hamel, who was born on the 25th. June 1889, was a pioneering British aviator. He was prominent in the early history of aviation in Britain, and in particular that of Hendon Aerodrome, where Claude Graham-White was energetically developing and promoting flying.
Gustav was the winner of the 1913 Aerial Derby at Hendon Aerodrome.
Hamel died before reaching the age of 25. He disappeared over the English Channel on the 23rd. May 1914 while returning from Villacoublay on a new 80 hp Gnome Monosoupape-engined Morane-Saulnier monoplane that he had just collected, and was to compete with in the Aerial Derby the same day.
At this time of high international tension, there was speculation that he might have been the victim of sabotage, but no trace of the aircraft was ever found and the story faded with his memory.
His contribution to flying, however did not end entirely with his death: posthumously published was a seminal co-authored book, Flying; Some Practical Experiences.
Viola Desmond
The 6th. July 1914 also marked the birth, in Halifax, of Viola Desmond. Viola is known for her court case that challenged racial segregation in Nova Scotia.
Viola Irene Desmond was a Canadian civil and women's rights activist and businesswoman of Black Nova Scotian descent.
In 1946, she challenged racial segregation at a cinema in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, by refusing to leave a whites-only area of the Roseland Theatre.
For this, she was convicted of a minor tax violation for the one-cent tax difference between the seat that she had paid for and the seat that she used, which was more expensive.
Desmond's case is one of the most publicized incidents of racial discrimination in Canadian history, and helped start the modern civil rights movement in Canada.
After the trial and encounter with the legal system of Nova Scotia, her marriage ended. Desmond closed her business and moved to Montreal where she could enroll in a business college.
-- The Death and Legacy of Viola Desmond
Viola eventually settled in NYC, where she died from gastrointestinal bleeding on the 7th. February 1965, at the age of 50. She was laid to rest at Camp Hill Cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
In 2010, Desmond was granted a posthumous free pardon, the first to be granted in Canada. A free pardon deems the person granted the pardon to have never committed the offence, and cancels any consequence resulting from the conviction, such as fines, prohibitions or forfeitures.
In late 2018, Desmond became the first Canadian-born woman to appear alone on a Canadian bank note—a $10 bill—which was unveiled by Finance Minister Bill Morneau and Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz during a ceremony at the Halifax Central Library on the 8th. March 2018.
Desmond was also named a National Historic Person in 2018
However, it was not until 2021 that the government repaid the $26 (now $324 CAD as of 2023) fine to her estate in the form of a $1,000 scholarship that adjusted the amount to reflect the time value of money.
The Crown-in-Right-of-Nova Scotia also apologized for prosecuting her for tax evasion, and acknowledged that she was rightfully resisting racial discrimination.
Vincent J. McMahon
Also born on that day, in NYC, was the American professional wrestling promoter Vincent J. McMahon.
Vincent was manager of the Capitol Wrestling Corporation (now WWE), and father of Vince McMahon. Vincent died in 1984.
