My first published work! Two of my photos have been reproduced in the newly released book of short stories Berlin oder so..
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 26th of May 1917.
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 recognize anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
I gotta say .. I love the style of UglyFly and am really stoked that my photos have been featured in the header twice now! www.uglyfly.ro/
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by R&K L, The card was posted in Streatham, London SW using a ½d. stamp on Tuesday the 9th. June 1914, fifty-six days before Great Britain declared war on Germany.
The card was sent to:
Miss G. Nicholls,
Scarboro House,
All Saints Road,
Wolverhampton,
Staffs.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Gertie,
Lovely weather here
today.
Heard from W. E. H.
this morning.
L. xxx"
Terrorism in Birmingham
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 9th. June 1914, militant suffragette Bertha Ryland slashed a painting in Birmingham Art Gallery in order to publicise the cause for women's suffrage.
Bertha Wilmot Ryland was born in Edgbaston on the 12th. October 1882, the youngest of five children.
Her pedigree as a campaigner for women's suffrage was long: her mother Mrs Alice Ryland of 19 Hermitage Road in Edgbaston had been a member of the executive committee of the Birmingham Women's Suffrage Society (BWSS) in the mid-1870's.
-- Bertha Ryland's Militancy
After taking part in the window-smashing campaign on Bond Street in London in March 1912 she was sentenced at the London Sessions to six months’ imprisonment, serving four months in Winson Green Prison where she was strip-searched and went on hunger strike and was force-fed 14 times, for which she received the Hunger Strike Medal from the WSPU.
In June 1914 the 31 year-old Ryland slashed the painting of John Bensley Thornhill known as 'Master Thornhill' by George Romney in Birmingham Art Gallery three times with a meat cleaver that she had concealed in her jacket, causing £50 worth of damage.
During the attack she had on her a letter containing her name and address which justified her action, stating:
'I attack this work of art deliberately as a protest
against the government's criminal injustice in
denying women the vote, and also against the
government's brutal injustice in imprisoning,
forcibly feeding, and drugging suffragist militants,
while allowing Ulster militants to go free.'
This she left behind after she left the Gallery.
Following the attack, the Gallery closed for six weeks, and on its reopening security was increased so that it not open after 5 p.m. and was closed all day on Sundays, at the same time enforcing a new rule of 'No muffs, wrist-bags or sticks'.
After her arrest Ryland appeared before magistrates for her committal hearing during which she refused to take part in the proceedings and shouted 'No surrender!' as she was taken out of court.
She again went on hunger strike while held on remand. Accepting bail, Ryland was too ill to stand trial at the July Assizes after a doctor at Queen's Hospital in Birmingham stated that her attending the hearing would cause her mental condition to deteriorate.
-- Force-Feeding
Ryland still had not received a sentence when the Great War broke out. She suffered permanent kidney damage as a result of her force-feeding in prison.
The July 1914 edition of The Suffragette contained a statement by Ryland about her force-feeding during which she was held down by four prison wardresses and a thick rubber tube forced down her nostril into her throat:
"I resisted, and was seized round the waist by
wardresses, and once tied around the waist in
the operating chair.
This mauling of the unprotected kidney together
with the retching and choking, strained and twisted
the kidney and caused chronic inflammation... the
acute agony, the inevitable retching and choking,
and the feeling of suffocation, accompanied by the
utter helplessness, all combined to make this the
most unutterably hideous experience.
I lay in bed practically all the time... feeling too ill
and exhausted to do anything. In addition to this
feeling of exhaustion there came long periods of
mental depression... Besides an unaccountable
feeling of misery and depression, my memory
seemed to be going, and it was a great effort to
think clearly or fix my attention on anything... the
mental anguish caused by forcible feeding is, of
course, quite indescribable."
-- Bertha Ryland's Legacy
Ryland received a 1953 Coronation Medal; this with her Hunger Strike Medal from the WSPU were sold by Christie's in 1999 for £6,325. Bertha Ryland never married, and died in Birmingham in April 1977.
In November 2018, in commemoration of her attack a century before, a blue plaque was unveiled in her honour by Birmingham Civic Society in the Round Room at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
The Launch of a Zeppelin
Also on that day, the SS Zeppelin was launched by Bremer Vulkan at Bremen-Vegesack, Germany.
Initially designed to be a passenger cruise ship, the SS Zeppelin was commissioned as a troop ship in 1915 during the Great War.
She was surrendered as war reparations to the UK Government, and resumed service as a cruise ship under the United Kingdom in 1920.
The Launch of HMS Gorgon
Also on the 9th. June 1914, Royal Navy ship HMS Gorgon was launched by Armstrong Whitworth at Elswick, Tyne and Wear.
She was built as a coastal defense ship for the Royal Norwegian Navy, but was re-purchased and re-outfitted by the Royal Navy during the final month of the Great War.
A Dangerous Manoeuvre
Also on that day, French Navy Lieutenant Jean de Laborde used a ramp constructed over the foredeck tender Foudre, in order to attempt France's second airplane takeoff from a ship.
The takeoff would have been the first by a French naval aviator, however he crashed.
A New Baseball Record
Also on that day, Pittsburgh Pirate Honus Wagner became the first baseball player in the 20th. century to achieve 3000 career hits.
Dietrich Peltz
The 9th. June 1914 also marked the birth in Gera, Germany of the German air force officer Dietrich Peltz.
Peltz became commander of the 9th., 2nd., and 1st. Air Corps of the Luftwaffe, and the youngest general officer of the Wehrmacht during World War II.
Peltz, who was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, died in 2001.

The Postcard
A postally unused cartolina postale which was published by STA, which stands for Stabilimento Tipografico Alterocca of Terni.
The card was printed in Italy.
Castello di Miramare
Castello di Miramare is a striking 19th.-century cliffside castle perched directly over the Gulf of Trieste in northeastern Italy. Built with shimmering white Istrian limestone, this fairytale palace seamlessly blends Gothic, Medieval, and Renaissance architectural styles.
-- History and a Tragic Legacy
The castle was commissioned in 1856 by Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg as a private romantic haven for himself and his wife, Princess Charlotte of Belgium.
Its name, Miramare, translates from Spanish to mean "look at the sea," reflecting the panoramic Adriatic views that completely surround the property.
The couple’s dream was however short-lived. In 1864, Maximilian left Italy in order to accept the crown as the Emperor of Mexico, where he was captured and executed by a firing squad in 1867.
Overcome with grief, Charlotte lost her sanity and spent decades in isolation. This dark history gave birth to the "Curse of Miramare," a local legend claiming that anyone who spends the night in the castle is destined to have a premature, tragic death in a foreign land.
-- Key Visitor Highlights
-- The Royal Apartments: Walk through over 20 lavishly preserved rooms that still contain the original 19th.-century furniture, tapestries, and artwork.
-- The Ship-Cabin Study: Explore Maximilian’s private bedroom and study, which he intentionally designed to mimic the tight interior quarters of a naval warship.
-- Historic Kitchens & Castelletto: View the newly restored basement kitchens and visit the miniature castle where the couple lived while the main property was being built.
-- The Botanical Park: Stroll through 22 hectares of lush, English-style gardens populated with exotic tropical plants, giant sequoias, and fountains.
-- The Pier Sphinx: Spot a rare red-granite Egyptian Sphinx dating back to the 3rd. century B.C. standing guard at the tip of the castle's harbor basin.

2Cellos, dal vivo per l’unica data in Italia del The Score Tour 2017, il 30 Marzo a Milano, al Mediolanum Forum di Assago, con l'Orchestra Sinfonica e il loro spettacolo più ambizioso e impegnativo realizzato finora.
Uno show rinnovato, la produzione più ricca e impegnativa mai realizzata, i brani del nuovo album dedicato alle musiche del cinema e i loro grandi classici pop e rock
Lo avevano gridato dal palco dell'Arena di Verona e ribadito a Caracalla, salutando gli oltre 16000 fans accorsi a vederli: "ci vediamo il prossimo anno con un nuovo grande show!".
La data di Milano, l'unica prevista in Italia, è fra le prime annunciate del "World Tour 2017" nelle principali arene, dopo Belgrado e Lubjana, a dimostrazione dell'enorme affetto che lega le due rockstar del violoncello Luka Sulic e Stjepan Hauser al nostro Paese.
I biglietti per il concerto italiano, tutti con posto a sedere da 28 a 60 euro (esclusi i diritti di prevendita), oltre a un limitatissimo numero di VIP Package a 200 euro, saranno in vendita dalle ore 10:00 di venerdì 21 ottobre online sul sito Ticketone.it e dalle ore 10:00 di lunedì 24 ottobre anche nei punti vendita del circuito.
Il "World Tour 2017" porterà i 2Cellos con l'Orchestra Sinfonica nelle arene e palasport delle principali capitali con un live rinnovato sotto ogni punto di vista: per quanto riguarda la produzione, luci e scenografie, il team dei due violoncellisti sloveno-croati sta mettendo a punto uno show decisamente ambizioso, in grado di esaltare la fortissima componente spettacolare della loro performance dal vivo. Per quanto riguarda i contenuti, naturalmente non mancheranno i sensazionali mash-up del loro repertorio, ovvero la rilettura in chiave "2Cellos" delle hit rock e pop, come "Thunderstruck", "Satisfaction", "Whole Lotta Love", "Smooth Criminal", che li hanno resi le indiscusse rockstar del violoncello in tutto il mondo e che continuano a registrare milioni di visualizzazioni in rete.

The Jews for Urban Justice Newsletter was published monthly by the organization.
The May 1969 issue contains a calendar of events, a recounting of the Freedom Seder, a report on a gathering of left-wing Jewish groups, and a list of board members, among other reports
From Wikipedia:
“Jews for Urban Justice (JUJ) was a Jewish-American left-wing activist organization based in Washington, D.C., and its suburbs. The organization was founded to oppose anti-black racism within the predominantly white Jewish community of Washington, D.C.
“Jews for Urban Justice was created by young Jewish intellectuals in the Summer of 1966 to oppose anti-black racism from white Jewish landlords and businesspeople, which they felt fueled antisemitism in the African-American community. Alleging that white Jews and predominantly white Jewish institutions were "part of the power structure" and that white Jews "gyp and rob" African-Americans in the ghetto, JUJ urged rabbis and other Jewish community leaders to address the problems of racism and classism within the Jewish community.
“Jews for Justice fought for equal access to housing for African-Americans at a time when white Jewish land developers in the DC metropolitan area used racially restrictive covenants that excluded African-Americans and other people of color from buying homes in white Jewish neighborhoods.
“JUJ was involved in Martin Luther King Jr.'s Poor People's Campaign, the Mothers Day Welfare Rights March, and the Delano grape strike. In solidarity with the United Farm Workers strike, JUJ urged synagogues and rabbis in the DC area to forgo using California grapes in their sukkahs. JUJ succeeded in convincing Joseph Danzansky to stop carrying California grapes at Giant Food grocery store locations.
“JUJ helped organize the Freedom Seder on the third night of Pesach, April 4, 1969, the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Arthur Waskow, a JUJ member and Jewish Renewal rabbi, was instrumental in creating the Freedom Seder. Waskow created a new Haggadah for the seder, saying "I wove the story of the liberation of ancient Hebrews from Pharaoh with the liberation struggles of black America, of the Vietnamese people, passages from Dr. King, from Gandhi." 800 people gathered for the Freedom Seder at the Lincoln Temple, an historically black Protestant church in Washington, D.C., bringing together blacks, whites, Christians, and Jews. The seder was attended by prominent black civil rights leaders, including Reverend Channing E. Phillips and Topper Carew.
“In 1970, JUJ released a manifesto titled "The Oppression and Liberation of the Jewish People in America", outlining their ideology as an anti-racist, anti-war, Jewish socialist organization that was critical of the mainstream Jewish establishment. The manifesto calls for white Jewish solidarity with African-American, Native American, Chicano, Italian-American, and Appalachian communities. The JUJ manifesto is critical of Israeli policy towards Palestinians and supports Palestinian self-determination, but is not explicitly anti-Zionist. JUJ's manifesto critiqued conflating Zionism with Jewishness and objected to antisemitic expressions of anti-Zionism.
“We call upon the Jewish people to free itself by joining in alliance with others to abolish the Amerikan empire that now oppresses the Jewish people and many other peoples at home and much of the human race outside. We call upon the Jewish people to join the task of creating a democratic, communitarian, libertarian, and socialist society in America. We believe that a fully socialist society will be one in which many self-governing communities are able to end the alienations of mind and body, of politics from economics, of spirit from work, of individual from collective, and thus to create the new, unalienated person; that these communities will differ freely from each other in the shapes they give to the wholeness they make out of their previously alienated lives; and that among these communities a liberated Jewish people will joyfully take its place.”
