This is the first actual use of turquoise energy.
It can use green energy, turquoise energy, or the newly-found dark green energy.
Simply used for lifting things, but can damage flesh very badly. It can rip off your fibers, vessels; and can break your bones. Not even counting the internal bleeding.
You'll need to hold from the foregrip and the grip on the back. It doesn't really require much muscle power, but when throwing and picking it up, it can shake off pretty badly. So, foregrip is a must.
It doesn't use energy canisters, so it must be charged manually. Recharging back from the empty requires approximiately 3 hours.
Can hold on for 4 hours, or 1440 lift-offs.

1911 Census has an Arthur William born Norwich circa 1899, still resident Norwich, and an Arthur William, born Norwich circa 1873 and still resident there. Of course there are then plenty of straight Arthur’s - at least 5 with a Norwich connection and of a likely age to have served in the war..
On the 1901 census, the first Arthur William above is listed as a 2 year old Arthur, born Norwich and recorded at 6 West End Street, Norwich in the parish of St Bartholomew. This is the household of his parents, Arthur, (aged 25 and a housepainter from Norwich), and Elizabeth, (aged 26 and from Norwich).
There is no obvious match for the second Arthur William.
In addition, on the 1901 census there is a 14 year old Arthur, born Norwich and working as a Telegraph Clerk, recorded at 16 St Giles Street, in the parish of St Peter Mancroft. This is the household of his parents, Arthur, (aged 42 and a Publican from Norwich. The census notes that he is self-employed and works from home), and Matilda, (aged 38 and from Norwich). Their other children are:=
Florence……aged 17 …..born Norwich………….Machinist (Fitter)
Gertrude……aged 12.…..born Norwich
Alice………..aged 7.……born Norwich
Even armed with this census information, is not possible to narrow this down further.

The 6 year old Robert, (born Norwich), is recorded at Hudson Buildings in the parish of St Peter Mancroft on the 1901 Census. This is the household of his parents, Ernest W, (aged 33 and a Tinkers labourer from Diss) and Beatrice, (aged 28 and from Norwich). It would appear Beatrice brought a daughter to the marriage, as there is an Emma Lyst, (aged 10, born Norwich) as well as Robert and Rose W Leverettt, (aged 3 born Norwich).
The men were moved into the front line on 15th February 1917. Battle commenced on 16th and lasted to the 19th.
archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/NORFOLK/2000-08/09...
There had been some initial success in early February by the Royal Naval Division, (RND) in attacking a strategic farmhouse at Miraumont.
On 7th February it was the turn of l90 Brigade to attack. This went well with 1/HAC taking Baillescourt Farm which was in the river valley 600yds ahead of the line taken and established on the 4th. The position now was that the line was advanced into the river valley, but the high ground to the north and south was still in German hands. It was this high ground that was to be the subject of attacks of 3 Divisions on the 17th
The plan was to take the sunken lane opposite Baillescourt farm. The lower part of this lane approximately 100yards was in British hands. What was needed was to take the rest of this lane and link with troops to the north. Once this lane had been taken strongpoints were to be formed 50 yards in front of the sunken lane. On the southern flank, the 18 Division was attacking northwards, at 90 degrees to the RND. On their right flank. 2nd division was also attacking Boom Ravine northwards towards Pys and Petite Miraumont. The purpose of all of these attacks was to take this high ground and remove a bulge in the British line west of Courcelette/ Pozieres.
Conditions generally were bad. The ground bad been frozen, but now was thawing out, leaving the battlefield muddy. There were no trenches as such, they had been blown away, at best there was a line of shell holes. The result was that there were no landmarks, making it difficult to orientate units- It must be remembered that there was only map and compass to find your way around, not the modern Magellan system aided by satellites. Carrying parties and people attempting to get to the front line were becoming disorientated and frequently lost.
Zero hour was 5.45 am, the attack commenced with a terrific artillery support. The Germans retaliated with artillery, but it was not strong, especially to the North. Despite these conditions there appeared to be the usual confusion of HQ not receiving any news and this lead to confusion over where the artillery should be directing its fire. It was decided to keep to the fire plan until something was heard from Howe or 1/RM. The RND's artillery was being asked to assist on the 18th Divisions front where big problems were occurring.

There is a 19 year old Herbert, born Norwich and recorded as a Veterinary Student, listed at Heigham Grove, Norwich, in the Parish of Holy Trinity. This is the household of his parents, Robert H C, (aged 49 and a Tailor from Norwich) and Susannah W, (aged 46 and from Barford). Their other children are:-

(Genes reunited transcription and scan of original document is uncleared - looks more like Rivistaff, but confirmed as Robert Sattf from the baptismal record).
The Mason’s also have two live in servants.
There is a baptism recorded for Herbert on the 18th January 1888 at St Peter Mancroft. However, is birth date is shown in the transcript as the 28th October 1887, however given his age on the 1901 census, I would take that to be an error. His parents are recorded as Robert Herbert and Susannah Ward, who reside at Castle Meadow. His father’s occupation is given as tailor.

The 9th were moved to the Ypres salient on April 1st 1918 and moved to Dranoute on the 14th.
" Next day D and A companies were in front line, C in support and B in reserve. Arrangements had been made for C to counter attack if necessary but it's losses owing to the continuous heavy bombardment commencing at noon on the 15th necessitated B taking it's place as the counter attack force. At 2.30pm on the 15th the enemy advanced and by 3pm had gained a foothold in the front trenches. From these he was once again driven out by B company. Although B held the line and formed a defensive flank they were eventually themselves driven out due to their exposed position.
Line was then formed along the railway with the Ist Leicesters on their left at Clapham Junction. At 10.30pm they were moved back behind Mt Kemmel before being pulled out of line on the 18th.

They established precarious bridgeheads across the river as the Turks fought back ferociously.
An eyewitness later wrote: 'One could read the story afterwards in the mud. Wherever a keel had scored the Turkish shore, there were Gurkha dead, and dead British rowers who had been lifted from the boats. Many of the pontoons still lay stranded in the mud.
One had a hole in its side, a direct hit by a shell and nine dead in it; and dead Gurkhas lay tumbled about the parapet; some had pitched over it and lay sprawling with the impetus of the fall. Beyond were dead Turks, who had counter-attacked from inland

The baptism of Henry Montgomery Scott Pillow took place at St Peter Mancroft on the 12th July 1895. His birth date is given as the 31st March 1895. His parents are Edward and Margaret Eleanor, who reside at Carlton Terrace, Mill Hill Road. Father’s occupation is given as Organising Secretary of Technical Instruction.
The Norwich technical Instititute, now part of the Art School on St Georges Street was opened at this time - I wonder if the Pillow’s had a roll in that. There is a big plaque on the front of the building which lists various local worthies - I must check it out next time I’m going that way.
Charles E Potter
There is no Charles E Potter listed on the CWGC database. There is two C E Potters, but further research shows one to be a Cecil, and the other a Christopher.

Great War Roll of Honour has no Charles E in the listing of other ranks.
It does, however, have a Charles Potter, Norfolk Regiment Private 22841 who died 1916
From that we find:

Zero Hour was set for 12.06pm but the Germans set the ball rolling at 5am with an attack on Schwaben Redoubt, still occupied by 39th Div. 17th King’s Royal Rifle Cops and 14th Hampshires drove the Germans back with grenades.
18th Div attacked with two battalions of 53 Bde- 10th Essex and 8th Norfolks advancing in line with the Canadians on their right flank. The Norfolks were caught up in a bombing fight near the Grandcourt-Courcelette road which they won with the aid of the Lancashire Fusiliers of 25th Div.

William Barnes……………Died
No obvious match on the CWGC database - I found a Canadian soldier who’s parents are recorded as living at Cley, but his parents first names are different to those recorded below. Otherwise there are too many W \William Barnes with no age or additional information, at least two of which served with the Norfolk Regiment and so probably had a connection with the county. The Roll of Honour site was also unable to identifiy this individual.

The Siege of Kut
During the siege of Kut which lasted for 5 months aircraft were first used to try and drop supplies to the garrison. The aircraft could not carry enough supplies some were shot down and the attempt ended in failure. The Turks used aircraft more successfully in bombing the town, many troops having been wounded were then killed in hospital by an air raid. Several attempts were made to break out across the river on floating bridges, but as the river was in flood at this time of the year the attempts failed. Radio contact with the outside world was kept up until the end.
Towards the end of the siege the daily ration for British troops was reduced to ten ounces of bread and one pound of horse or mule flesh. Indian troops who refused to eat flesh were dying of scurvy at the rate of 10 to 20 a day. In all 1746 people died during the siege from wounds or disease.
Kut falls
On 29 April 1916 Kut surrendered to the Turks. After agreeing terms, Townshend marched his troops out into captivity, and certain death for most of them.

Rank: Private
Regiment: Norfolk Regiment Unit Text: 1st/5th Bn.
Age: 21 Date of Death: 19/04/1917

There is a picture of Arthur in the Norlink Archive.
norlink.norfolk.gov.uk/02_Catalogue/02_013_PictureTitleIn...
The accompanying notes read:-
Born at Bodham, 10th March 1896, Private Cletheroe was from Baconsthorpe Hall. He was educated at Baconsthorpe and enlisted 5th August 1914. He was killed at the Battle of Gaza in Palestine, 19th April 1917 and buried at Gaza Military Cemetery.
The 1901 Census has the 5 year old Richard, (Born Bodham), recorded at Baconsthorpe, (no specific address). This is the household of his uncle, Stephen Cletheroe, (aged 45 and a farmer from Baconsthorpe), and aunt, Maria, (aged 44 and from Thornage). Richard doesn’t appear to be on the 1911 census, although Stephen and Maria are.
19th April 1917 During the 2nd Battle of Gaza,
Facing the Tank Redoubt was the 161st Brigade of the 54th Division. To their right were the two Australian battalions (1st and 3rd) of the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade who had dismounted about 4,000 yards from their objective. As the infantry went in to attack at 7.30am they were joined by a single tank called "The Nutty" which attracted a lot of shell fire. The tank followed a wayward path towards the redoubt on the summit of a knoll where it was fired on point blank by four field guns until it was stopped and set alight in the middle of the position.
The infantry and the 1st Camel Battalion, having suffered heavy casualties on their approach, now made a bayonet charge against the trenches. About 30 "Camels" and 20 of the British infantry (soldiers of the 5th (territorial Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment) reached the redoubt, then occupied by around 600 Turks who immediately broke and fled towards their second line of defences to the rear.
The British and Australians held on unsupported for about two hours by which time most had been wounded. With no reinforcements at hand and a Turkish counter-attack imminent, the survivors endeavoured to escape back to their own lines.
To the right (west) of Tank Redoubt, the 3rd Camel Battalion, advancing in the gap between two redoubts, actually made the furthest advance of the battle, crossing the Gaza-Beersheba Road and occupying a pair of low hills (dubbed "Jack" and "Jill"). As the advances on their flanks faltered, the "Camels" were forced to retreat to avoid being isolated.

More than a thousand one hundred of the men of the 54th posted killed wounded or missing were from the two Norfolk regiment battalions, equating to 75% of their strength. Eastern Daily Press "Sunday" section May 5, 2007

George Cooper…………….Died
Norlink has a potential match in a George Alfred Cooper born Alby, who served in the Royal Berkshire Regiment.
norlink.norfolk.gov.uk/02_Catalogue/02_013_PictureTitleIn...
The accompanying notes read
Born at Alby, 8th May 1893, Private Cooper enlisted in September 1914. He was killed in action Festubert, France, 5th January 1915.
There is a George born Baconsthorpe circa 1892 and still resident in the same district on the 1911 Census.. There is no George Cooper born Alby - just a Charles D, born circa 1892, and a Jonathan, born circa 1895 on the 1911 census, However there is one born circa 1894 on the 1901 Census, so looks like the Norlink picture is for a different person.
The 1901 Census has a George R Cooper, aged 9 and born Baconsthorpe, recorded at Baconsthorpe, (no specific address). This is the household of his parents, James, (aged 43 and a farmer from Upper Sheringham), and Phyllis, (aged 48 and from Baconsthorpe). Their other children are:
Phyllis………..aged 15.…..born Baconsthorpe
Richard F…….aged 19.…..born Baconsthorpe…..Teamster on Farm
The CWGC has 5 G R Coopers recorded, all of which can be fairly safely eliminated - the two shown as George R have parents with different names. Of the three simply shown as as G.R,, two, an officer in the Royal Berks who died in 1916 and a private in the Coldstream Guards who died in 1918, do not appear on the Great War Roll of Honour under the first name George. The final candidate, another G R with no age or additional details, was a Lance Bombardier in the Royal Garrison Artillery who died in 1919. He is buried at Royton, Lancashire in the UK. I would have thought it more likely that he would have been returned to his hometown - I’m not an authority on the UK military forces, but I can’t think of many military bases round there, and a quick scan of the 38 other records for this cemetery indicates that nearly all have an obvious link with the Royton\Oldham area and the WW1 burials come from a wide variety of units..
That unfortunately leaves us with a large number of G. Coopers on the CWGC database,
Postscript. The Roll of Honour site believes it is possibly this individual.

The 1911 Census has a Frederick born circa 1893 in Baconsthorpe, and still recorded in the district of Erpingham. On the 1901 census, the 8 year old Frederic, (Born Baconsthorpe), is recorded at The Street, Baconsthorpe. This is the household of his parents, Benjamin, (aged 31 and a General Labourer from Baconsthorpe), and Rosetta, (aged 30 and from Baconsthorpe). Their other children are:-
Alice……………….aged 7.………….born Baconsthorpe
Hilda……………….aged 1.………….born Baconsthorpe
Horace………………aged 6.…………born Baconsthorpe
Marian………………aged 4.…………born Baconsthorpe
Frederick is probably one of the Norfolk men who died during the final days of the siege of Kut, (although far more would die on the subsequent march into captivity). He may possibly have been one of those outside as a composite unit, the Norsets, consisting of available drafts and recovered sick and wounded from the two parent battalions of the Norfolks and Dorsets, who were fighting to break the siege.

William Jarvis………….Died
As there was no obvious William Jarvis associated on the 1901 or 1911 census with Baconsthorpe, I initially thought it was a Willie Reginald Jarvis from Langham, who died in the Middle East in 1918 while serving with the 1st/4th Norfolks CWGC.http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=1645773

Mary Beatrice, born circa 1878 at Baconsthorpe
Sidney, born circa 1890 at North Walsham

There is no obvious William who’s parents are an Alfred and Ann born circa 1897 / 1898
On the Genes re-united transcript of the 1901 and 1911 Censuses.
The battalion appears to have been in action near Monchy, and there seems to be a steady but small number of casualties over the period 19th to the 23rd - 7 on the 19th for example.

Acconpanying notes are
Rifleman Jermy was born at Blofield on 13th July 1891, and was educated at Blofield and Holt schools. He enlisted on 11th March 1916 and was killed in action in France on 4th July 1918
The 1911 Census has a Robert Jermy, born circa 1892 at Strumpshaw and now registered in the District of Erpingham which covers the village of Baconsthorpe. The other Jermys in the same District are:
Emma Jane, born circa 1869 at Lingwood.
Robert, born circa 1871 at Hemblington
Maude, born circa 1893 at Blofied

There is also a Frederick Knowles, born Hunworth, and now recorded working as an Ostler at The Hasting Arms , Melton Constable. I have no firm way of establing whether either of the two individuals are the same as the CWGC man, and whether any of them are the Fred Knowles on the Baconsthorpe Roll of Honour.
See William Barnes and Frederick Dew above for details of the siege of Kut.
Henry Smith……………………Died
There was no obvious candidate on the the CWGC at first glance - hundreds of H Smiths. However a review of the 1911 and 1901 Censuses threw up two individuals - a Henry J born 1898 and a Henry Marston born 1871. Now of the two, you’d expect Henry J. to be the more likely to have served, but looking at the numerous candidates matching either H J or Henry J, on the CWGC, there is still no obvious candidate. Under a search for an H M Smith, however, there is this individual.

The initial drop is us starting to hit pgbouncer on the server, rather than via lots of pgbouncers on the client, and switching to transaction pooling.
It got a bit messy as it turns out our server_lifetime and server_idle_timeout were tuned way down; to seconds rather than minutes, so a lot of connection churn was occuring. The pleasant flat bit at the end is our current state.

A sign on this cottage states: `This Cottage was built on a miner's right around 1876..
Originally the home of the Hill Family it then became for almost half a century the home of the Birch Family.' .
Another sign at the boundary states:.
`Claim posted by G Maver 12/11/84' (1984).
.
The early parish plans show this site in April 1873 as creekside land, with no Crown Allotment (CA) designation, but apparently part of John Hill's grant on the adjoining CA78A (2 acres, now vacant), both on the south side of the Watsons Creek. Adjoining properties were in the names of LL Smith (1879), WS Cheshire (1922) and Timothy Shaw. Hill paid ₤5/7/6d for the land. Application for a License to occupy Crown lands on any goldfield or Lands adjacent there to..
.
John Hill, a shoemaker at Kangaroo Ground, had made an Application under the `Land Act 1869' on 30 October 1873 for 2a 3r 29p. The Application was granted 7 November 1873 but in 1874 after a report by Mounted Constable Walsh on the land. Edmund Harland of South Yarra owned it by 1886 and then Honor Birch purchasd it in 1910, converging the Hill and Birch family ownership history. As`Honor Williams, she was the legal owner by 1939 [ VTO]..
.
Constable Walsh's report describes a `slab house or hut 24'x10' with a bark roof, 2 rooms lined with bark inside, slabs in aprt and Calico part, erected December 1878 in `passable repair'. Hill had been absent from the property for some months working elsewhere but had recently returned. The will of Honor Williams (formerly Birch) shows that the Birch family eventually owned this lot (cited as CA78A,B,C) as well as the adjoining `permissive occupancy' (dated 1/1/1938) of CA79A (this site) that was held as a grazing licence under section 121 of the 1928 act. Throughout the official record, the sites known now as CA79A and CA78A appear to be interchangeable, with CA79A non extant in parish plans [ DSE]. Buildings appear to have been erected on CA79 by the owners of CA78A..
.
The first rate records for Edwin Birch, labourer, were in 1872: he was the owner-occupier of `Land Sutton East Riding St Andrews' with an annual value of ₤8. The same annual value was recorded in 1873 but on this occasion a hut was also included in the description [RB]. This was a `house' by 1877 and the annual value had risen to ₤10 in 1878. This coincides with the police report on the Hill property where the hut was stated as built in 1878. Ten years later Birch's name was crossed out in favour of Walter A Harris (?) and soon Honor Young (Honor Birch by 1893) was the owner-occupier and the annual value greatly increased from ₤10 to ₤30 by 1889: this may coincide with the acquisition of more land (listed as 196 acres by 1903). In the Edwardian-era Edwin Samuel Birch (labourer) was the rated owner-occupier and in 1906 the description was `House & Garden' (stated as on CA78A) [ RB]. .

The will of Samuel Birch stated:.
All real estate to Honor Mary Birch and all personal property to Honor Birch (wife). As Honor Mary Williams, she was the next owner and her will stated: `…I give and bequeath all the improvements on the land held by me at Christmas Hills under Permissive Occupancy fro the Department of land and Survey consisting of the house property thereon and all the contents of the said house to my nephew Brian Joseph Martin of Christmas Hills aforesaid farmer’. Documents also describe a dairy being built there in 1935 and that the land had been held by permissive occupancy under Section 121 land act 1928 dated 1/1/1938..
.
In 1977 the will of Honor Williams ( former Birch, died 8 July 1976) described the property at CA78A as including a four room, five square house of about 100 years old, with enclosed verandah, including kitchen, combined lounge dining room, bedroom and store room. It was built of `bush slabs' with a corrugated iron roof. there was also a diary erected in 1935. The valuer noted that the buildings were of little value except for their age: $1700 Shire site value, $3000 capital improved value. This property description matches closely what is on this site. Another description of the permissive occupancy (.75 ha) had a 90 year old double-fronted timber dwelling of bush timber with a timber slab floor and internal masonite lining: sleepout, living, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, with a fuel stove and sink in the kitchen and a bath in the bathroom. Structurally it was in a `reasonable' condition for its age. Only the dairy, among the various outbuildings, had any value. Fences were post and wire, the pasture had regrowth of bracken and scrub with blackberry. There was also a list of furniture in the house varying from 15-50 years old, or `very old'. Honor owned 121 acres in total, as compared with the 196 acres of c1900. After Honor's death, George Williams, Walter and Brian Martin were for a brief period co-owners, selling to the MMBW in 1978 [ VTO]..
