Those big, lovely white paws was one of the features that made him Tabi:))
でっかい手（ドラえもん〜〜って時々呼んでました），握り甲斐があったな。身体もでっかくなったけど＾m＾
今じゃコマさんがでっかい手を受け継いで（？！）ます。うん、メス猫なのに、でっかいのだわ、手が。
for those that have asked about this.
Corona box with baking paper taped across front. i found the waxy surface diffuses light very evenly. the inside of the box is lined wit aluminum foil. i just cut a hole the size of the sb800 nose out of the base and used another bit of cardboard to reinforce the area.
Those crab were a nightmare to photograph. My great nikon prove completly ineficient in capturing them; this picture comes from my compact camera!
For those who have been wondering why I disappeared from the face of the earth for more than 2 weeks here is your answer: I have been working one of the most challenging and painstakingly detailed doll projects of my life - the Mother Earth.
This OOAK fashion consists of a hand painted sequin gown that can be altered to be worn either long with a cascading silk chiffon shirt or as an edgy short dress; either nesting a leaf gold "egg" at the model's tummy making the wearer pregnant or without it. The sequins are layered is sculpted from that resembles a feathery armour and under the hand painted copper exterior of the sequins movement reveals crevasses of deepest black. The gown's 2-tone silk hem is cut short from the front to reveal a pair of Alexander McQueen inspired platform sandals. These sandals use my Hokusai heel and are covered all over in leaf gold and decorated with golden straps with butterflies. The outfit is crowned by an Isis inspired hand sculpted helmet, which is also covered in leaf gold.
The model is a Sybarite Raja repaint by me and the wig she wears in some of the photos is from Ilaria (Time of Doll).
This image is not about a simple laugh. It is about the moment when a group closes ranks against someone and turns humiliation into spectacle. The phone becomes the center of the scene, the device that captures, amplifies, and delivers the target to the complicit gaze of the others. The laughter here is not innocent: it is compliance, alignment, a small training in cruelty.
What is disturbing is not only the act of mocking, but its function. People laugh to belong, to please, to remain on the side of those who hold more strength, more voice, more power. This is how abuse becomes normalized: not only through those who exercise it openly, but also through those who accompany it, make it acceptable, and turn it into a collective habit.
In this photograph, the real subject is not the single face exposed on the screen, but the mechanism that binds the others together. The pack is often born this way: from a light, almost cheerful consensus that nonetheless prepares the ground for moral violence. Those who learn to mock in order to please also learn to serve. And those who serve abuse, even without directly dirtying their hands, help keep it alive.
St Peter, Theberton, Suffolk
Theberton is a sizeable village strung out along the main road to the north of the town of Leiston. The church has one of Suffolk's prettiest round towers, and loveliest thatched roofs. Gargoyles grin down from the late medieval south aisle, a 1483 bequest by Sir William Jenney, but substantially restored, perhaps even largely rebuilt, in the 1840s by Lewis Cottingham for Charles Doughty, who was not only the rector but also the wealthy owner of Theberton Hall. He intended it as a family aisle, in one of those 19th Century conceits which tried to imitate the pretensions of the medieval landed gentry, and the relatively early date of the restoration might explain its rather jolly pre-ecclesiological gothicky feel.
But Theberton is also home to a rather grimmer tale. On the night of 17th June 1917, on the edge of this village, German Zeppelin airship L48 was brought down, with the agonising death of 16 of its crew. Finding yourself on fire and falling through the air cannot fill you with much hope of your survival, but remarkably some of the crew did survive, to be rounded up by the local constable, who I like to imagine arriving on his bike. The dead were buried in the graveyard extension here, before being moved to a military cemetery 60 years later, but their memorial remains. In the porch there is part of the superstructure of the giant airship, incongruous in a glass case. The story below it makes fascinating if slightly harrowing reading. Within the time I've lived in Suffolk I've met locals who still talked about the Theberton airship crash, although of course they must all be dead by now, but many must be the households in the parish which still retain part of the skeleton of the ship.
The south porch was restored at the same time as the aisle, but the most memorable part of the 1840s restoration becomes evident as you step into the nave, for the south arcade has been painted with extravagant stencilling, as if it had been tattooed. We know that much wood and stonework was painted in medieval times with geometric designs, and some survives in Suffolk at Kedington and Westhorpe. It is interesting to see an early 19th century interpretation. It is said that Cottingham based the scheme on traces of paint found on the arcades. The work was carrie dout by Thomas Willement, better known for his glass, which is also here, depicting St Peter and St Paul flanked by the evangelistic symbols in the south windows of the aisle.
The arcade lends the interior a somewhat idiosyncratic feel, as you may imagine, but it does help distract from what is certainly not the best early 20th century glass in Suffolk. The Ward & Hughes memorial window to Charles Hotham Montagu Doughty, who was killed leading a charge in the Dardanelles in 1915, is particularly bad, depicting the portly, balding Doughty as St George, his slayed dragon beside him, kneeling at the foot of what appears to be a plywood cross as the sun comes out. Extraordinary to think that it is contemporary with the fabulous work of Ninian Comper and Christopher Whall elsewhere in Suffolk, both then at the height of their powers. Worth seeing, if only to see how bad the work of the Ward & Hughes workshop got as the 20th Century progressed. The east window, also by Ward & Hughes, is earlier and a bit livelier. It depicts the Resurrection, with Christ rising from the tomb above the sleeping soldiers, the angels looking on. Mortlock admired it for its colour and draughtsmanship, although it does unfortunately look as if Christ is knocking on the ceiling with his cross, perhaps shouting "Can you keep the noise down please? We're trying to sleep down here!"
As you might expect, the work of the highest quality here is in the south aisle. There is a spectacular memorial to Frederica Doughty, who died in 1843, on the west wall. The date seems incredibly early for such confident, vibrant High Victorian work. Beside it is a simple memorial to the explorer and poet Charles Doughty, author of the 1888 work Travels in Arabia Deserta. As Doughty's biographer on Wikipedia observes, it is written in an extravagant and mannered style, largely based on the King James Bible, but constantly surprising with verbal turns and odd inventiveness. This book was much admired by two remarkable writers, each very different from the other: TE Lawrence wrote a gushing introduction to the republication of 1922, and the author Henry Green wrote an essay about the influence of Doughty's work on him, most obviously in his novel Living. Their joint patronage has helped ensure that Doughty's work has gone in and out of print ever since.
Several display cases are devoted to this parish's links with the city of Adelaide in Australia. Colonel William Light, who came from Theberton, surveyed the site for the city, and one of its suburbs is called Thebarton. The vestry door is kept open so you can see the Norman north doorway, and the 15th Century font nearby is similar to those at several neighbouring parishes.
But my favourite thing of all is outside the south porch. It is a table tomb against the wall, and commemorates John Fenn, the Laudian Rector here in the early 17th century, who was hounded out as a scandalous minister (that is to say, a theological liberal) by the Puritans. He was lucky to escape with his life, for the Rector at Brandeston was found guilty of witchcraft, and hung.
Fenn survived the Commonwealth, and died here after the Restoration of the Church of England. The inscription reads: Here is a stone to sitt upon under which lies in hopes to rise to y day of blisse and happinesse honest John Fenn, the sonne of William Fenn, Clarke and late Rector of this parish. Being turned out of this living and sequestered for his loyalty to the late King Charles the First hee departed this life the 22 day of October anno domini 1678. This request for us to rest would have been profoundly disapproved of by his puritan persecutors. Rarely is it so easy to strike back at religious fundamentalism, but here one can do so simply by sitting down.

Those of you that know me, know i have 3 girls. This is daughter #3....the Bling, Fashionista daughter...my youngest. i was warned not to post any of the shots of her today...because her face looks chubby (!!???WHERE!!!???). But i thought she looked so pretty and so happy here with her dogs.
Actually the two on her lap are hers...the other belongs to the boyfriend. Dudders (aka Muppet Dog), Sir Dilbert Pickles (with far too many alias’ to list here!) but i call him Dilly, and Dinkum...who wins hands down for the funniest facial expressions on a dog!!!
It has been a rough week and a half for my daughter...Dilly was ill and the vet thought it was a bad tooth...when they went in to take the tooth out, it turned into much worse. There was a tumor on the bone and against the tooth....tested, they found it was cancerous...and the 1000$ surgery ballooned to $4000 to do an mandiblectomy....removing nearly half his lower jawbone. He is on day 5 of recovery, but she is nervously awaiting the rest of the pathology report from all of the surrounding tissue and a lymph node.
She is very VERY V E R Y attached to her dogs. I have been nursing her though tearful to hysterical phone calls and she is worried sick....She rescued Dilly at a low time in college...after unexpectedly losing a Pomeranian she had adopted in her sophomore year, and who was with her every day at her classes in the studios as she worked on her designs...He was a mascot of the Design students....
In an attempt to save Leo’s life she went into $5000.00 in debt...and worked hard to pay it all off on her own. She is now terrified she will lose Dilly. She has begun a gofundme page to help with expenses that have been incurred and if anyone has even pennies to spare i know she would be eternally grateful. i will put you in touch. If all you can offer are prayers and support please know that that is as much appreciated as any donation ever could be.
****A personal HUGE thank you from me, to my treasured floaties i have made via social media and beyond, that have seen the post on FB and were able to spare even change from the washing machine or dryer...or the vacuum cleaner bag!! (((HUG)))
i am making.recycled/repurposed necklaces... from miniature bottles...corks and wood...with embellishments for anyone that can give a donation no matter how small but with love and caring.
Love you all!

First off - if you live in America - take a moment to remember all those who served our great nation so that YOU can be free.
Second - if you can read this - thank a teacher.
Today seemed like a good day to have a Cleopatra 2525 marathon. It's the story of three women (one of whom "died" during a boob job and woke in up in the year 2525) who are fighting to retake the surface of the earth from aliens.
Kind of like how our Vets fought to keep America free. Ok, I'm reaching with that one.
If you like any of the following:
Science Fiction
Shows or movies like Charlie's Angels
Hot chicks
Hot chicks blowing stuff up
Hot chicks doing back flips while blowing stuff up
Fetish wear (on women and/or men)
Use of famous movie lines
Then this may be a show for you.
God, it's hot in here! But this is where the big tv is.

And this shot concludes my (incomplete) second year of the 365 day thing.
I just couldn’t believe how close I could get to those puffins! I felt like an obnoxious fashion photographer. “Spread those wings! Just once! C’mon! That’s right—just like that! All of you, look this way, all at once!”
Látrabjarg is the largest bird cliff in Iceland and is considered one of the most magnficient cliffside nesting areas in the World. It has been estimated that the bird population reaches about one million in early summer. Ten species of seabirds nest on Látrabjarg, with the most common being the guillemot, Brunnich's guillemot, razorbilled auk, puffin, fulmar, and kittiwake.
Látrabjarg is 8.6 miles long and shows a cross section of the lava layers that built up in the flat area Vestfjarðaslétta about 13-14 million years ago. These are the oldest strata in Iceland.
I did keep my distance from the cliff edge and, more times than not, respected the chalk barrier line drawn in my sand. I didn’t attempt any feet-dangling photos because there were signs saying that the cliff edge was unstable and, more importantly, it was windy as hell. It would’ve been SO easy to get blown over the edge.
Keeping my lens dry in the wind and rain was difficult, but for the most part I managed. It stopped raining just as I descended the cliffs. Of course.
Sometimes nothing sparks friendship faster than having a common enemy.
I saw this friendly guy and his girlfriend in the sporting goods store where my wife and I were shopping for cycling items.
It's official now. Even Jesus hates the Yankees.
His t-shirt message really gave me a laugh since I grew up hating the New York Yankees baseball team. I resented the fact that they were such a wealthy team could hire the best baseball players and usually win.
He was delighted to meet another Yankee-hater and was amused that I wanted to take his picture in the backpack aisle. He said getting rid of the Yankees is his formula for world peace. We laughed at that. He added "Except in New York, there wouldn't be peace there." I joked back "Yes, New York's loss would have to be viewed as a necessary sacrifice for the greater good."
P.S. I think I found religion today. :-)
Scan circa 1956. Me and my brother and sisters. I am the oldest. I am 6 years older than Bob, he looks to be maybe two here. So, I could be 8 or 8 1/2. This could be Fall or Winter. It's on the old living room couch. Notice the old embossed tin walls that are painted and our orchard in the back yard.
We all have on new flannel shirts and courderoy pants lined with flannel. These were handmade by my dad's sister, Margaret from Escanaba, who also took the pic with her camera. We didn't have an indoor camera then, only an old Kodak Brownie which was for outside only and had no flash. So, it's a rare photo of the 4 of us! See previous pic of me in Easter dress in 1955. We lost our Mom {age 41} in 1964 when we were all in school yet. I helped Dad raise these siblings.
Here's a poem I wrote in 1992 and it is in my poetry book, Windows to my Heart, (c) 1993.
THOSE MORNING KISSES
by Kathie Luther
It was our routine, a daily habit,
To kiss our Mumma goodbye.
She'd bend down, four kisses were planted,
Then off to the school bus we'd fly!
How glad we were for that dear old habit
And that last day we kissed Mumma goodbye.
We were just kids who took her for granted.
"Those were the good old days," we sigh.
Those morning kisses, so customary,
Transformed by time and loss we find
Have become so very extraordinary
They're sparkling jewels in our minds!
"For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away." James 4:14
Hey Partner! I created this mosaic with color and design in mind. Each of these photos speaks to me on one of those levels and just makes me happy! I just looked through everyone else's mosaics and love pretty much all of them. My kitchen is mostly aqua (love pic #1 for that reason) so for a main color that would be great. I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen so I love to have pretty things hanging out in there.

The Burcht, a small ringshaped fortress is argueably the oldest building in Leiden. The first wooden structures found during archaeological surveys were dated around 1,000 AD. The first remains of the stone stronghold are from 1200.
When I was in my teens and early 20’s me and my friends used to come here during the long summer nights to play guitar, sing, drink beer smoke weed. I have quite a few happy memories that are still wandering around that place.
Some traditions never seem to die. When I was walking around Leiden with Fotomom, I met these kids who were happy lively souls having a good time with eachother. When I asked if I could take their picture they were rather aprehensive. The girl on the left with the scarf told me I’d better take a happy picture of them. A week or so before they had been photographed by a journalist from a local paper and they were portrait as bad lazy kids who had nothing else to do than to hang out and be loud. I thought that was rather unfair. They reminded me of me and my friends. And I told them I had been hanging out with my friends at the Burcht just like they did, but that it was now only a happy memory, since it had been 15 years ago or so.
That is why I asked them to act silly and cheerful so I could portray them in a more positive way. This is the result. Unfortunately I don’t have any of their e-mail addresses, because I would love to send them this picture.
_______________________
De Burcht, een klein ringvormig fort is waarschijnlijk het oudste gebouw in Leiden. De eerste houten structuur die is gevonden tijdens archeologische opgravingen werd rond 1.000 N.C. gedateerd. De eerste stenen overblijfselen zijn van 1200.
In mijn tienerjaren en later kwamen mijn vrienden en ik hier om de lange zomeravonden te vieren. We speelden gitaar, zongen, dronken bier en rookten soms wat wiet zoals kinderen van die leeftijd nou eenmaal doen. Er dwalen nog steeds veel mooie herinneringen van mij rond op die plaats.
Sommige tradities lijken nooit verloren te gaan. Toen ik er met Fotomom rondliep, ontmoette ik deze kinderen die lekker vrollijk waren en het uitstekend naar hun zin hadden. Ik vroeg ze of ik een foto van ze mocht nemen, maar daar waren ze niet zo blij mee. Het meisje links met de sjaal vertelde mij dat ik er maar beter een vrolijke foto van zou maken. Een week daarvoor waren ze door een journalist van een plaatselijke krant gefotografeerd en in zijn artikel werden ze afgeschilderd als agressieve luie kinderen die de hele dag niets anders te doen hadden dan maar wat rondhangen en mensen lastig vallen. En dat vond ik niet eerlijk. Ze waren precies zoals ik en mijn vrienden. Dus zei ik ze dat ik precies hetzelfde als zij hadden gedaan. Maar dat was nu nog slechts een mooie herinnering want het was al minstens 15 jaar geleden.
Dus vroeg ik ze om lekker gek te doen voor ik de foto nam zodat ik ze op een positieve manier kon vastleggen. Hier zie je het resultaat. Helaas heb ik van geen van hen een e-mail adres, want ik zou ze maar wat graag deze foto sturen.
More than 300 cowgirls competed in the 12th annual Cowgirls with a Cause Rodeo and raised $23,000 to help provide mammograms, cancer-detection tests, and cancer treatment services to those in the community who can’t afford these potentially life-saving procedures.
Cowgirls with A Cause has now raised and donated more than $225,000 in the fight against breast cancer.

The extension to Hersin Communal Cemetery was begun by French troops, who made over 100 burials, and was taken over by Commonwealth troops and field ambulances in March 1916. It was used until October 1918. The extension contains 224 Commonwealth burials of the First World War; many of the graves are of engineers, mostly from tunneling companies.

Canadian Tunnellers played a big role in the success of the attack at Vimy Ridge on the 9th April 1917, where a number of simultaneous explosion tore the german front line apart. Sapper Chapman may well have been involved in those and the subsequent actions that petered out in the costly Battle of Arras.

The 1901 Census has a 7 year old James living “near the Broad” Ranworth, having been born at Trunch. This was the household of his parents, James, (aged 35, a Gamekeeper from East Runton), and Lillian, (aged 30 from Northrepps). Also there were brother Jack, (aged 2, born Ranworth), and sisters Charlotte, (aged 6, born Trunch), Gladys, (age 9, born Southrepps), Jessie, (aged 11, born Southrepps), and Maud, (aged 4, born Ranworth).
By 1911 our 17 year old James is registered in the district of Bourne, Lincolnshire.
The 6th Battalion was one of the New Army units that had its first real taste of war when it landed at Suvla Bay on the 6th August 1915. It was intended to unlock the stalemate of the campaign by taking the enemy from behind. Instead, due to ineffectual leadership and poor planning, the troops stayed on the beach, suffered casualties at the hands of a few armed Turkish policeman, (very ably led) and would remain pinned down for the rest of the campaign. Meanwhile at Helles, a number of diversionary attacks intended to draw reserves away from the Suvla area led to a very high death toll. The phrase “Lions led by Donkeys” springs to mind.

No obvious match under C Fowler - possibly Boy Sailor Bertrand Charles lost in 1914 with HMS Indefatigable
www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2876826
However, there is a picture of Bertrand on Norlink and the accompanying notes place him firmly in the Hingham \ Wymondham part of the county - indeed I believe he is commemorated on the Hingham War memorial.

A scan of a press cutting regarding the sinking of the transport ship Royal Edward, with a loss of over 1,000 troops and crew. The thread that follows contains a couple of links relating to the sinking.
1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t...
A passage from the History of Norfolk Regiment tells the rest of the story. Colonel Tonge refers to the loss of 300 men, the best draft that ever left Felixstowe. These men volunteered to join the Essex Regiment and appear to have constituted the drafts of June 23 and July 24 1915. They were part of the reinforcements carried by the transport "Royal Edward" which was torpedoed and sunk in the Aegean Sea on August 14th 1915. She sank two and a half minutes after the torpedo struck her.Of the 1,400 men she carried only 600 were saved, and the drowned included all but 18 of the 300 Norfolk men. The men who had had a route march just before leaving Alexandria, were waiting on deck for foot inspection at about 9.20 am. Their lifebelts were down below, and when the ship was unexpectedly struck most of them ran below to fetch the belts. Owing to the ship's sudden heeling over and sinking, these never got up again. Those who escaped were picked up by a hospital ship which responded to the s.o.s. signal.

From the Bedfords War Diary.
30 Jul 1916 At 3.30 a.m. "A" Company moved up into its forming up position along the SUNKEN Road just East of the British Front Line Trench, ready for the attack at ZERO HOUR. At ZERO HOUR the Company attacked the MALTZ HORN FARM and Trench and captured it. They attacked in two lined, 1/2 Company extended in each Line. The attack was a Brilliant success, from 70 to 80 Germans being killed in the Trench, and one Prisoner taken. The Farm itself was found not to be held. As soon as "A" Company had cleared the MALTZ HORN GERMAN Trench, they were ordered to rejoin the Battalion in our original front line. This they did and suffered about 30 Casualties in the whole operation. 2nd Lieutenant H.C.LOVELY was wounded in this Operation at 4.55 a.m. Orders had been previously given to the Battalion that as soon as the 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment had moved up to support the attacking Battalions, the Battalion were to move up into their positions in the Trenches just South of TRONES WOOD. This was done at about 5.45 a.m. The attack was severely hampered by a dense fog causing the attacking Battalions to lose touch. At about 6.30 a.m., Officers Commanding 17th and 20th Kings Liverpool called for reinforcements. Orders were given for "B" and "C" Companies to move up in support, but these Companies were stopped by the O.C. 17th Bn.Lings Liverpool Regiment on reaching him, as he could get no information from Officer Commanding 19th and 20th Kings Liverpool Regiment as to here support was required. These two Companies therefore remained with Officer Commanding 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment. At about 6.45 a.m. Headquarters moved up to the HAIRPIN BEND and joined the Officer Commanding 20th Bn. Kings Liverpool Regiment. As no information could be given by him as to what was happening in front, "B" & "C" Companies were ordered to stay where they were with O.C. 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment. At 6.45 a.m. Lieutenant H.A.CHAMEN was seriously wounded. At 9 a.m. Lieutenant J.T.COE and 2nd Lieut.A.L.GORDON were wounded. At 10 a.m. Lieutenant W.WHITE with "A" Company were sent off to get touch with the French. They got touch with them and found that they had also been held up and were digging in. "A" Company therefore dug in on their left just SOUTH of MALTZ HORN FARM. At about 1.30 p.m. orders were received to consolidate the MALTZ HORN RIDGE from ARROW HEAD COPSE to the French Left. At 11.30 a.m. 2nd Lieutenant F.A.SLOAN was wounded. "D" Company under Captain L.F.BEAL were sent to connect up from MALTZ HORN FARM to the left of "A" Company, this they did and dug in. "B" and "C" Companies under Captain R.O.WYNNE moved off at 3 p.m. and dug a NEW TRENCH 300 yards long connecting up ARROW HEAD COPSE to the North end of the GERMAN MALTZ HORN Trench. The Companies were well dug in by 7 p.m. All Units that could be collected at HAIRPIN BEND were sent off at 1 p.m. to hold the old German Front Line. Trench running from MALTZ HORN FARM Northwards towards ARROW HEAD COPSE. By 7 p.m. the MALTZ HORN RIDGE was well consolidated, the whole position being heavily shelled throughout the day. At about 8 p.m. Orders were received that the Brigade were to be relieved. the Battalion was relieved by the 4th Bn.Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, Commanded by Lt.Colonel SWAINSON. The relief commenced at about 2 a.m. and completed by 6 a.m. The Battalion then withdrew to our old Bivouac at 10 a.m. on the 31st July, 1916.
The Casualties during these operations were: -
OFFICERS 6. OTHER RANKS 186x x includes 9 Wounded at Duty.
31 Jul 1916 - The Citadel Battalion in Bivouac at F.15.b. Reference Map 62.d. N.E. Speech made to the Battalion by Major General J.S.M.SHEA, C.B., D.S.O., Commanding 30th Division, on 31st July, 1916. "I have come here this morning to thank you all for the way that you fought yesterday. It may seem to most of you that after doing all you could, you were only successful in capturing a small amount of ground. This however does not in any way represent the results of your hard fighting. It came to my knowledge only this morning, that eleven of the freshest German Battalions (The 12th Bavarian reserve) had just been brought up on the front which you attacked. There were only 8 Battalions actually fighting for the Division, and judging from the number of prisoners taken, and the number of casualties known to have been inflicted on the enemy, it is clear that you were instrumental in completely preventing what would have been a very strong counter attack on the Bantams in TRONES WOOD. The Army Commander has told me to thank you for him, and to his thanks I add mine and my hearty congratulations. Colonel Poyntz I congratulate you on your Battalion and on your men."

Edward Henry Ward signed his enlistment papers on the 29th December 1914, giving his trade as Farm hand. He stated he had served previously but had been discharged on ground of “interic” (Enteric) fever. His mother, Eliza was given as his next of kin.
After basic training he was transferred to the 2nd Battalion and went to Gallipoli with them. In mid July he was evacuated, with what looks like “Scabies” although other reports describe a condition that might best be called “Genital Warts“, re-joining his unit on the 5th August 1915. On the 14th February 1916 he was transferred to the 54th Battalion, then stationed at Tel-El_Kebir, where he was promoted to Driver. The unit moved to France, with Edward arriving at Marseilles on the 27.6.16.
Post war end he seems to have a few discipline problems, being found drunk on duty, and overstaying leave. He was eventually discharged in October 1919.
54th Battalion formed part of the 5th Division AIF.

Sanctuary Lamp c. 1855 - Gilt brass, manufactured by J. Hardman & Company.
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (British, 1812-1862)
Pugin’s promotion of a Gothic Revival Style coincided with a tremendous boom of the building of churches for England’s growing industrial centers. He rapidly became the leading architect for the Roman Catholic Church, executing designs for architecture as well as interior fittings, such as this sanctuary lamp.
Pugin’s writings on Gothic art had a great impact on artists and designers of the next generation, including William Morris.
Gilt brass is simply a brass that has a gold wash over it. This method was commonly used on drawer pulls, brass feet,and many other metal accents on furniture, mostly so that the brass would not have to be polished. The gold would always stay bright and shiny.
Gilt surfaces should not be polished. A solution of mild soap and water does all the cleaning required. Anything more harsh or abrasive will only remove the gilt finish.
The Huntington:
A private, nonprofit institution, The Huntington was founded in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington, an exceptional businessman who built a financial empire that included railroad companies, utilities, and real estate holdings in Southern California.
Huntington was also a man of vision – with a special interest in books, art, and gardens. During his lifetime, he amassed the core of one of the finest research libraries in the world, established a splendid art collection, and created an array of botanical gardens with plants from a geographic range spanning the globe. These three distinct facets of The Huntington are linked by a devotion to research, education, and beauty.
In 1919, Henry and Arabella Huntington signed the indenture that transferred their San Marino property and collections to a nonprofit educational trust, creating The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, which hosts more than 500,000 visitors each year.
