Stuart was having a break from his work in a betting shop when I approached him. He readily agreed to help with my 100 Strangers project. Unfortunately we were in the sun and I couldn't see anywhere nearby to shade the harsh light. I asked Stuart how business was. He said it was doing OK not least because Ipswich Town, the local football team, were doing well. He expected to be very busy with a big horse race meeting at Cheltenham coming soon and even more so if Ipswich Town play our local rivals Norwich in the play-off final at Wembley!

Part of the London Borough of Southwark, Nunhead, in south east London, contains Nunhead Hill, a 150 acre site, which, in 1839, was sold by its owners to create one of seven suburban cemeteries that were constructed between 1839 and 1841, following an act of Parliament intended to encourage "the creation of private cemeteries at the edge of the contemporary city," as the Ideal Homes website explains. Nunhead Cemetery, one of the seven, is 52 acres in size, and next to it is Nunhead Reservoir, created in 1855. Below the reservoir, to the south, are the Stuart Road Allotments. The Stuart Road Allotment Society was founded in 1918, although its website notes that "allotment gardening may have taken place on this site before that date."On September 8, 2012, a gloriously sunny Saturday, I set off by bike from my home in Brockley, which is next to Nunhead, in what I thought was a fairly aimless manner, although I soon found myself drawn to the heights of Nunhead, where I had lived briefly before my son was born. As I passed the entrance to the allotments, on Borland Road, I saw people waiting to be let in, and curiosity got the better of me. One of the long-standing members of the allotment was then kind enough to allow me in to have a wander, and to take photos, and this first photo is of one of the plots, looking up to the hill-top occupied by Nunhead Reservoir.

A recent Census Bureau analysis found that the majority of women who forgo work to stay home with their children in the United States do so because they lack the education or skills necessary to secure a job. Demographically, America’s stay-at-home moms are likely to be young, Hispanic and living in poverty. Mormon women, though buck the trend. Church doctrine places a heavy emphasis on the family, so while Mormon women tend to be highly educated, they also choose to stay at home with their children at high rates.

Based on reports of the German invasion of France in 1940, the US Army realized its tank force was obsolete. The then-current M2 light tank design was upgraded to M3 standard, which added more armor and improved the suspension for a smoother ride. It retained the older 37mm gun, though the Army was aware the 37mm was inadequate for tank combat; the M3 would be used to supplement the more heavily-armed M4 Sherman then entering production. Moreover, US Army doctrine held that tanks were not supposed to engage other tanks, but rather exploit breakthroughs and tear up enemy rear areas. For this, the high speed of the M3 would be ideal. As another function of tanks, according to the Army, was infantry support, the Stuart was well-equipped with no less than five .30 caliber machine guns.
Production began in late 1941, shortly before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The British Army would be the first to use the M3 in combat, which they dubbed "Stuart," for the Confederate cavalry general J.E.B. Stuart (the name that stuck), or "Honey" for its reliability. Though the British found the 37mm to be nearly useless, too short-ranged, and the crew compartment to be very cramped, they liked the Stuart's reliability--it almost never broke down, even in the extreme conditions of the North African desert--and its speed. If Stuarts could not take on German tanks, they could certainly do a great deal of damage to soft-skinned vehicles and infantry.
The US would soon be using the Stuart in combat as well: the first tank-to-tank combat in American history would come between M3s of the US Army in the Philippines and Japanese Type 97s. The Stuarts came off second-best, but generally speaking the two tanks were comparable. American crews fighting in North Africa in 1942 recognized the same problems as the British, but also found the same values. Occasionally, even the Stuart could score notable successes: Lieutenant Colonel John Waters' task force of over a hundred Stuarts engaged a small force of German Tiger Is and succeeded in knocking them out with close range fire to the engine.
Though the US Army did recognize the Stuart's armament to be completely obsolete by 1943, it was still the best tank in the inventory. A few improvements in armor and crew comfort were made in the M5 design, and though supplemented by the M24 Chaffee in 1944, Stuarts would form the bulk of Army light units until the end of the war. Others would fight in postwar campaigns in China, Pakistan and Angola, and were in Paraguayan service as late as 2002.
Dad built a M3 to complete his collection of American World War II tanks in 1/35 scale. This is an early M3, as it retains the outboard hull machine guns, which were later deleted in the M3A1. The yellow star and US flag were carried during Operation Torch in 1942 for recognition purposes, and many Stuarts still carried them in Tunisia.

Lieutenant Kenneth Bruce Stuart of the Durham Light Infantry was the son of Robert and Jane Campbell Stuart, of 23, Old Elvet, Durham. He was killed at the Butte de Warlencourt towards the end of the Battle of the Somme on the 5th of November, 1916, and is buried in Warlencourt British Cemetery.
Stuart attended the Loretto School in Edinburgh, and the Old Lorettonian Roll of Honour adds more details:
2ND LIEUTENANT KENNETH BRUCE STUART, 6th (Service) Battalion The Durham Light Infantry, was born in January 1896, and was at Loretto 1906 to 1914. Musical Scholar. XV. Corporal, O.T.C. On leaving school he went to the Royal College of Music. After the outbreak of war he obtained a commission in the 6th D.L.I., and went with them to France. During the Battle of the Somme his Battalion was attacking the Butte de Martencourt (sic). Few officers were left, and Lieut. Stuart, who was Signalling Officer, volunteered to lead the assault. Three times the attack was held up by machine-gun fire, but Stuart insisted on a fourth attempt, during which he was shot dead at the head of his men, November 5, 1916.
There is a photograph of Stuart on the Old Lorettonian website.
I have no idea why this banner is in Blakeney church. Using the words "Kenneth Bruce Stuart" + "Blakeney" as search terms on Google produces just one result - these photographs.

Dimitri Ouvre Wins Inaugural ASP 1-Star Somo Pro Junior Cantabria Infinita
Dimitri Ouvre (Saint Barthelemy) 19, won the Somo Pro Junior Cantabria Infinita presented by Escuela Cantabra de Surf in a closely fought battle which saw the young goofy-footer pull a huge air-reverse to come out on top over Medi Veminardi (REU) 19, William Aliotti (FRA) 17, and Ramzi Boukhiam (MAR) 17, in a come-from-behind victory in clean 3-4ft (1m) peaks at the main event site in La Playa de Somo.
After officials called a halt to proceedings during the low tide mark, the green light was given to run through to the crowning of this year’s Somo Pro Junior Cantabria Infinita which saw all four finalist exchange waves in the pulsing 35-minute final clash.
Ouvre, claiming his maiden Asp Pro Junior victory, trailed at the halfway stage after failing to find a quality set wave to pin back his rivals. With under 15 minutes remaining Ouvre found his wave and punted the manoeuvre of the event followed by a forehand snap to snatch a near perfect 9.00 out of 10 and the win.
“In the beginning Medi (Veminardi) got some really good scores and if I wanted to win I needed to get a big score and not fives or sixes so I waited. I made a couple of mistakes at the beginning because I was too impatient but after I knew I needed to wait for a good one and it came through to me. I was a bit lucky with that because after there were no sets for about 10 minutes so I am so stoked.”
Ouvre jumps to nº1 position on the Asp European Men’s Pro Junior rankings and now has his eyes set on a repeat performance at the upcoming Asp 3-Star Pro Junior in the Canary Islands.
“It is a good result before the Canaries event so I think I am confident for the Canaries and I just have to do the same thing. I have no pressure and I enjoyed this event with my friends and my time here in Spain. I am not really focused but I just want to win so it is great right now.”
Veminardi, who had impressed during his Quarter and Semi-final appearance surfed the long rippable lefts with a series of precise forehand snaps to amass a two-wave combined total of 15.16 out of 20 to take a commanding lead early in the final.
“I think I had a good game plan for the whole contest. I really wanted to improve my surfing in every heat I surfed in and that’s what I did but it was bad luck for me. Dimitri got that one wave that had the good ramp to do an air and he did it and took his chance and I lost by 0.15 of a point but that’s the way it is. I’m just bummed for losing the prize money for first place, $1,100 for less than half a point is tough.” (laughs)
Veminardi now looks ahead to his next Asp Pro Junior appearance starting in five days with a boost in confidence as well as his equipment and approach fine tuned after his performances at the Somo Pro Junior Cantabria Infinita.
“I had bad luck in Reunion with an interference and I was really angry over there but I had to figure everything out with my coaches and this contest has been a good warm up for the next event and I am ready for the Canaries and I hope I can do better next time.”
William Aliotti (FRA) who finished third ahead of Boukhiam, survived an extremely close Quarter-final to proceed through to the Final where he showed his improved surfing on both the lefts and the rights to sit in nº3 position on the Asp European Pro Junior Rankings with Boukhiam sitting in 4º overall.
“It is true that I had a very difficult heat in the quarters,” stated Aliotti. “It was very close but I am pleased to make it through that heat and to get to the final. I am more or less happy with the result but of course I would have liked to come first like everyone else but it is good to keep my points up on the rankings.”
Leonardo Fioravanti (ITA) 13, the youngest competitor in the Somo Pro Junior Cantabria Infinita, finished equal 7th claiming his best career result to date. The ever smiling natural-footer who turned heads with his clean flowing rail turns and competitive skills displayed in all his encounters.
“I am really happy with this result. It is my first semi-final and I enjoyed surfing here in Somo. On the high tide the waves are incredible and I’ll definitely come back next year for sure.”
The Somo Pro Junior Cantabria Infinita presented by Escuela Cantabra de Surf is the second stop on the Asp Europe Men’s Pro Junior Series 2011 which will determine qualifiers for the elite Asp World Junior Championships which start in Bali October 3 2011.
