This maple in front of my neighbor's house has a red dot sprayed on it, mostly likely meaning that it will be destroyed. Right now it is full of beautiful green leaves.
"I stood at the cliff-edge, listening to the waves crash on the crescent-shaped strand below. This was the beach where Damas executed its criminals and traitors; Father had been slaughtered here. Some nights, I came here to weep as I envisioned his death, but tonight I felt distant, removed from those emotions, instead overcome by silence and watchfulness." ("Beloved," by Beth Winegarner, (c) 2007)

The Battle of Sarikamish
So what happened on the day that the card was posted to Miss Carter?
Well, on the 11th. January 1915, the remains of the Ottoman Third Army arrived at Erzurum in eastern Turkey, only to learn that reinforcements would not arrive because a Russian naval squadron in the Black Sea had sunk the army's military transports.
Arthur F. Gorham
The day also marked the birth in NYC of Arthur F. Gorham. Arthur was an American army officer, commander of the 505th. Infantry Regiment of the 82nd. Airborne Division during World War II.
Arthur, who was a two-time recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross was killed in action at the age of 28 during the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.
Gorham's death was first reported by Bill Ryder in a March of Time radio broadcast on the 19th. August 1943:
"One of the outstanding examples of heroism was Lt. Col. Arthur Gorham,
whose unit was attacked by tanks. When one of his bazooka teams was
wiped out by an approaching tank, he manned the weapon himself and
got the tank single-handed before being killed himself by another tank
on their flank."
The Birth of the SAS
Also born on that day, in Newtownards, Ireland, was Paddy Mayne. Paddy was an Irish soldier, and co-founder of the Special Air Service.
Born Robert Blair Mayne, he was a recipient of the Distinguished Service Order and Legion of Honour. Paddy died in 1955.
