The names are from W.W.1.
There is one female mentioned, third row.
MARY AMELIA SCHOFIELD. Could she have been one of the ladies killed in the Barnbow explosion.
I have a list of the names, and a Mary E. Schofield is mentioned. Possibly a typo. somewhere?

The B-24 was employed in operations in every combat theater during World War II. Because of its great range, it was particularly suited for such missions as the famous raid from North Africa against the oil industry at Ploesti, Rumania, on Aug. 1, 1943. This feature also made the airplane suitable for long over-water missions in the Pacific Theater. More than 18,000 Liberators were produced.
The B-24D on display flew combat missions from North Africa in 1943-1944 with the 512th Bomb Squadron. It was flown to the museum in May 1959. It is the same type airplane as the "Lady Be Good," the world-famous B-24D that disappeared on a mission from North Africa in April 1943 and was found in the Libyan Desert in May 1959.

Imperial War Museum Duxford (commonly referred to simply as "Duxford") is a branch of the Imperial War Museum near the village of Duxford in Cambridgeshire, England. Britain's largest aviation museum, Duxford houses the museum's large exhibits, including nearly 200 aircraft, military vehicles, artillery and minor naval vessels in seven main exhibitions buildings. The site also provides storage space for the museum's other collections of material such as film, photographs, documents, books and artefacts. The site accommodates a number of British Army regimental museums, including those of the Parachute Regiment (named Airborne Assault) and the Royal Anglian Regiment.
Based on the historic Duxford Aerodrome, the site was originally operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the First World War. During the Second World War Duxford played a prominent role during the Battle of Britain and was later used by United States Army Air Forces fighter units in support of the daylight bombing of Germany. Duxford remained an active RAF airfield until 1961. After the Ministry of Defence declared the site surplus to requirements in 1969 the Imperial War Museum received permission to use part of the site for storage. The entirety of the site was transferred to the museum in February 1976.
In keeping with the site's history many of Duxford's original buildings, such as hangars used during the Battle of Britain, are still in use. Many of these buildings are of particular architectural or historic significance and over thirty have listed building status, Duxford "retain[ing] the best-preserved technical fabric remaining from [a historic airfield] up to November 1918" and being "remarkably well-preserved". The site also features a number of purpose-built exhibition buildings, such as the Stirling Prize-winning American Air Museum, designed by Sir Norman Foster. The site remains an active airfield and is used by a number of civilian flying companies, and hosts regular air shows.

ومرة أخرى يقترب الكاتب من النقاط الساخنة فى الموضوع. لقد اعترف
أحد رجال الأعمال اليهود المقيمين بالإسكندرية فى صيف سنة 1950 وفى وقت
يتزامن مع قرب وصول (مستر جيغرسون كافرى) السفير الأمريكى فى مصر فى
الخمسينيات أقول إن هذا اليهودى اعترف لأحد قرناء الملك بأن أغلبية حاشية
فاروق وقادة جيشه قد تم جس نبضهم بشأن قضية السلام بين مصر واسرائيل
وأنهم وافقوا جميعا على ضرورة إبرام صلح معها .
كان دور حيدر فى هذا كله يحوطه الغموض فقد كان يقوم بدور مزدوج
على الملك فهو من ناحية يبدو مخلصا له فى حين أنه كان يتآمر لإفشال خططه من
ناحية أخرى إلى جانب تحميله مليكه مسؤلية الهزيمة .
ونحن لن نناقش دور (حيدر) فى التقليل من احتمالات التمرد فى الجش رغم
أنه كان معروفا أن هاك شعورا بعدم الراحة داخل الجش بعد عودته مجروحا من
فلسطين وكان (حيدر) يعرف جيدا نوايا الضباط الأحرار ومع ذلك فقد كان
يهدئ من شكوك الملك . ( واضيف من عندى - يحى الناظر - أن قرابته لعبد الحكيم عامر وتقريبه له لا ينسى )
على ضوء ما قدمته فإن الواجب إعادة قراءة أشياء كيرة فى تاريخ مصر :
_ ما قدمه مايلز كوبلاند Miles Copland فى كتابه الشهير (لعبة الأمم ( عن
صلات المخابرات المركزية الأمريكية بالقوى السياسية فى مصر قبل ثورة
1952 وصلات هذه الإدارة بالجيش المصرى .
التغاضى بعد الثورة عن محاسبة حيدر ورجاله عن هزيمة سة 1948 وعدم
المساس به . صحيح أنه كان قريبا لأحد أعضاء مجلس قيادة الثورة لكن ذلك
التعتيم التام على محاسبته وقد قامت الثورة وكانت الهزيمة أحد أسبابهأ _
يحتاج إلى إعادة نظر لكشف غموض موقف الرجل من أموركثيرة .
_ سكوت الملك المريب على تصرفات ياوره المريبة وخاصة اكتشاف اتصاله
بجنرال ألمانى واحضاره إلى مصر والتعتيم على وجوده واكتشاف دور
المخابرات المركزية الأمريكية فى هذا الأمر .
إحجام الملك عن عزل رجله الخائن بعد انكشاف دوره وتركه يمارس سياسته
داخل القصر بمساعدة أتباعه . فهل كان الملك يخشى أن ينقلب عليه
حيدر ويطيح به ؟
فى خطاب استقالته من الخدمة فى الجيش المصرى فى 28يوليو سنة 1950كتب
الجنرال (أرتور شميت ) ما مفاده أن (حيدر) كان يشعر بأنه مصدر تهديد له منذ
اللحظة التى طلب منه فيها إذنا لدراسة الحرب الفلسطينية وأنه (حيدر) كان يخشى
أن يشير (شميت ) إلى أخطاء هذه الحرب والى العيوب التى كانت لا تزال موجودة
فى تدريب وتنظيم الجيش مما قد يضر بسلطانه عند الملك .
وذكر (شميت ) فى خطابه أن (حيدر) منعه من محاولة دراسة الحملة
الفلسطينية وأنه (شميت ) كان يرى أن خسارة الحرب ضد إسرائيل انما كان سببها قيادة غير قادرة
ورغم أن (شميت ) كان قد حصل على إذن فاروق بدراسة الحملة الفلسطينية
فإن (حيدر) عرقل كل جهود الرجل للوصول إلى أوراق الحملة . لكنه فى خطاب
استقالته قال إن على رأس الجيش إدارة من الهواة لم تتدرب أو تتأهل لمثل هذا
المنصب الحافل بالمسؤلية وفوق هذا فإنه عقب فشل حرب فلسطين ضعفت الثقة
فى الضباط والجنود بصفة عامة .
كان خطاب الاستقالة يقطر ألما لفشل التجربة الألمانية بسبب تآمر (حيدر) الذى
فضل إفشال التجربة لكى يبقى هو على رأس الجيش وقريبا من الملك وهى
تصرفات لا يمكن أذ توصف إلا بالانانيه والغدر .
من المفترض أن خطاب استقالة (الجنرال شميت ) قد وصل إلى (فاروق ) لكن
الوثاثق لا تتحدث عن رد فعل من جانب الملك برغم خطورة ما تضمنه الخطاب من
اتهامات لقائد جيشه العام وياوره ومرافقه العسكرى .
لقد كان (محمد حيدر) شخصية سياسية تحيط بها الشكوك نجحت فى اختراق
كل الأسوار إلى دائرة الملك وأصبح موضع ثقته حتى اللحظات الأخيرة . لكن ما
تقدمه هذه السطور وهى مأخوذة من مصدر قريب الصلة بالملك فاروق والبلاط
الملكى تجعل من المحتم إعادة دراسة هذه الشخصية فى إطار إعادة قراءة تاريخ
مصر .
لقد كان (حيدر) أحد كبار رجال البلاط الملكى فى عهد فاروق علاوة على
كونه وزير الحربية منذ سنة 1947 ثم القاثد العام للجش مع قدوم حكومة الوفد .
ولقد كان الدور الذى تقمصه طوال فترة عمله كياور فى الحاشية العسكرية
يحتم عليه أن يكون مخلصا للملك وشديد الولاء له . وقد عرف عن الرجل طوال
فترة حكم (فاروق ) أنه رجل السراى القوى وعين الملك داخل الجش فلماذا
حدث منه كل ذلك وما هى مبرراته ؟ هل يقبل عقلا أن يتصل قائد جش ورجل
بلاط بهيئة مخابرات أجنبية معروفة علاقاتها بمخابرات عدو كانت الحرب رسميا
لا تزال قائمة معه ويطلب منها إمداده بخبير ليعيد تنظيم الجيش بما يتضمنه ذلك
من كشف لكل الخطط التى قام بها سيده وولى نعمته ؟ وهل يقبل عقلا أن يقال إنه
لم يكن يعرف ما يمكن أن يؤدى إليه ذلك من انكشاف خطط بلاده العسكرية أمام
العدو؟
وهل يبرر ذلك رغبته فى عدم كشف فشله فى الحرب ؟
لكن الأكثر إثارة هو عدم تعرض هذا الرجل للمساءلة والعقاب سواء من الملك
الذى خانه أو من النظام الذى قام فى يوليو سنة 1952 ومحاكماته لكل سياسى قبل الثورة . نعم لم يجسر أحد على
مساءلة الرجل عن دوره فى الحرب وفى قضية تحديث الجيش بعد الحرب .
من الأمور المتعاوف عليها أن القائد المهزوم يساءل بعد الحرب عن هزيمته
وأسبابها وفى اليابان ينهى القائد المهزوم حياته بيده . وفى بلاد أخرى يحاسب المسؤل بعد تشكيل لجنة تدرس الحرب ومراحلها ودور كل فرد فيها
لقد تبنى نظام 23 يوليو فكرا مفاده ان المسؤلين عن فساد القصر هم حاشية الملك وانهالت وسائل الاعلام عليهم لعنا وتقريعا ونهشا فى سيرتهم .
لكن الم يكن من العدل بل من الواجب ايضا ان ينال العقاب اولئك اللذين تسببوا فى هزيمه ساحقه ماحقه كانت الاولى من نوعها فى تاريخنا المعاصر
اذا كان عبد الناصر قال ان الثورة تأكدت فى الفالوجا
وان نكبة 1948 هى سبب يأسهم من النظام القائم
فلماذا لم يتم محاكمة المتسبب الاول فى هذه النكبه
-------------------------------
وبعد هذه المقدمة التى كان لابد منها والتى حصلت عليها بصفة رئيسية من الكتاب المرفق
نبدأ بذكر
1- الجو السياسى العام فى هذه الفترة والضغط الجماهيرى
2- لماذا غير النقراشى من موقفه الذى كان لايحبذ اشتراك الجيش المصرى الى دخول الجيش المصرى الحرب
3- محضر جلسة مجاس الشيوخ السرية والتى اقر فيها اعلان الحرب وماذا قال صدقى باشا الرجل الوحيد الذى عارض هذه الحرب وكيف لم يستمع احد لمنطق حديثة ولعلهم ندموا كثيرا بعدها
4-كيف اصر حيدر على ان يقود الجيش فى فلسطين من مكتبة بالقاهرة رغم كونه ضابط سجون
5-كيفاصدر حيدر باشا اوامرة الى الضبع الاسود احمد عبد العزيز بعدم فتح غزة حتى لاينسب فتحها لجيش المتطوعين بقيادة احمد عبد العزيز وينسب للجيش

If every war zone was like this, the world would be in peace...
One of my friends took this photo. The quality is not great, but just for the knowledge, we were all at Paintball. It is a game where you have guns which are filled with small balls full of paint which burst when they hit you hard enough. very painful......From my own experience I got 8 bruises which lasted about 2 weeks
Well this isn't fireworks, this is my country under the attack!! #Yemen #Sanaa
This photograph was taken in a very difficult situation, while Sanaa city subjected to aerial bombardment, the anti-aircraft was firing all over the city..
I tried to transfer the fear and death in my country in a creative way.. like my firend siad "Make Art Not War".

Storm Troopers & Sayla
Sayla is a lone Twi'lek Bounty Hunter operating on Nar Shadaa. She was brought to the moon as a slave, but killed her master before trying to get into a smugglers gang. However, her craving for bloodshed got her kicked out of the gang, and ever since she's worked alone as a bounty hunter. With no allegiance to any faction, she has an endless list of customers who rely on her skills and discretion.

Flora MacDonald Denison, née Merrill, feminist, journalist, businesswoman (1867 to1921). Denison, who combined running a successful Toronto dressmaking business with a writing career, was active in the suffrage movement in Toronto from 1906. Her views on religion, marriage, birth control and social class, expressed through her regular 1909-13 column in the Toronto Sunday World, were more radical than those of most Canadian suffragists. President of the Canadian Suffrage Association 1911-14, she was forced to resign because of her support for the English militant suffragettes.
At the outbreak of WWI, Denison initially opposed the conflict, and while she did not sustain an unequivocal antiwar position throughout the war years, WWI deepened her commitment to thoroughgoing social and spiritual reformation. She expressed this commitment first through the Canadian Whitmanite movement, a social and spiritual movement that owed its inspiration to the American poet Walt Whitman. At her country property, Bon Echo, she created a retreat dedicated to Whitmanite ideals, and beginning in 1916 she published the Whitmanite magazine the Sunset of Bon Echo. Later she became a theosophist, and in the years just before her death she participated in the Theosophist Social Reconstruction League.

Co. E, 12th KS. Infantry
The La Cygne Weekly Journal, Friday, June 28, 1907, Pg 5
In Memoriam.
Francis Marion Conley was born in Indiana March 28, 1840 and departed this life at his home in La Cygne, Kansas June 25, 1907, aged 67 years, 2 months and 27 days. On the 15th day of May 1862 in the bonds of Holy Matrimony to Miss Vienna Mason. To this union was born ten children, three of whom with the wife survive him and mourn his departure to the Spirit World.
On August 18, 1862, just sixty three days after their wedding day, Mr. Conley in response to his country’s call for brave men offered himself as a volunteer and was accepted and enlisted in Company E of the 12 Kansas Infantry, and served his country almost three years, receiving a honorable discharge at Little Rock June 13, 1865.
After the close of the war he returned to his Kansas home where by honesty, industry and good management he has acquired some very desirable property. For the last fifteen years he has been identified with the business interests of La Cygne, conducting very successfully a furniture store. He also held many city and county offices proving himself worthy of the confidence placed in him by his fellowmen. But it was in his judicial administration that he out-shown all his other gifts. He seemed especially qualified for that special work, hence he was commonly spoke of as “Judge”. His apprehensions were very rapid; his development of truth was luminous as its path; his knowledge appeared intuitive, and he, by a single glance, and with as much facility as the eye of the eagle passing over the landscape, surveyed the whole field on controversy—saw in what way the truth might be most successfully defended and how error must be approached. In coming into his presence where he sat as the Judge, oppressed humanity felt a secret rapture, and the heart of the innocent leaped for joy.
Wherever he was—it mattered not in that sphere he moved—the friendless had a friend, the fatherless had a father, the poor man though unable to reward his kindness, found an advocate. It was when the rich oppressed the poor—when the powerful menaced the defenseless, when truth was disregarded or the eternal principles of Justice violated it was on these occasions that he exercised all his strength, and gave him the force and authority of a prophet.
As a patriot, his integrity blessed the scrutiny of inquisition; whose manly virtue never shaped itself to circumstances; who stood amid the varying tides of party, firm like the rock which far from land lifts its majestic top above the waves and remains unshaken by the storms which agitate the ocean.
As a friend, he was true to his promise, his bosom was transparent and deep in the bottom of his heart was rooted every tender and sympathetic virtue. He made it a rule of his life to be upright, clean and pure in all his transactions with his fellowmen.
He has spent more than thirty years in the Church of God. And few men have exercised greater faith in God than did Mr. Conley. He took God at his word and expected the fulfillment of that word. He was not disappointed. Now his illuminated spirit still whispers from heaven with well known eloquence the solemn admonition, “Mortals hastening to the tomb and once the companions of my pilgrimage, take warning, and avoid my errors. Cultivate the virtues I have recommended. Follow the God I have followed. Live for immortality; and would you recite anything from the final dissolution lay it up with God. Thus speaks, me thinks our deceased benefactor. For thus he acted during life. And this more than any other sheds glory on his character. Everything else death effaces. Religion alone abided with him in his
Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry War Memorial, Bodmin, Cornwall. Sculpture by Leonard Stanford Merrifield. Unveiled 17 July 1924 by the Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiment, HRH the Prince of Wales.
This memorial was erected by the Regiment to commemorate the 4,282 of its men who fell in the First World War. The Regiment suffered particularly heavy losses at the Battle of Passchendaele, with one battalion of several hundred men reduced to a fighting strength of just 70 by the end of the offensive.
The bronze figure on a granite plinth – modelled on an ex-soldier – is unusual, both in its accurate detail and for its depiction of a solider in an aggressive pose: he has a fixed bayonet and is holding a Mills bomb with its pin pulled out, both indicative of combat. His open gas mask bag slung across his chest with its respirator pipe sticking out is a rare reference on a memorial to battlefield gas attacks.
