The Treasury Guards Flag. "When Booth leaped to the stage, his spur caught on a flag decorating the President's box. Booth fell heavily and broke his leg. Conflicting testimony describes it as this regimental flag hanging in front of the post or an American flag draped around the box. Best evidence points to this flag." If you look carefully on the right edge of the flag, at the same height as the handicapped lift controller, there is a rip that is supposed to be where Booth's spur caught on the flag.
We arrived home after 8 days to find that with some rain, the garden has exploded.
Poppies have burst open where Jools had liberally broadcast seeds, Flag Irish standing over three feet tall have sprouted out of Jools' wildlife pond, and that also now has a toad. But best of all, the Yellow Rattle I broadcast last autumn has flowered and is appearing all over the lawn.
I say lawn, it is mostly moss, but now has a large clump of clower, thistles and now the rattle, so the garden was full of insects feeding this morning, the air buzzing with their joy

Onboard HMS Belfast
HMS Belfast is the ninth of ten Town-class cruisers; begun at the end of 1936, Belfast was launched March 1938 (on St Patrick's Day. After striking a mine in November 1939, Belfast spent two years undergoing repairs and improvements, finally returning to service in November 1942. Throughout 1943, Belfast was involved in escorting Arctic convoys to the USSR; in December 1943 Belfast was involved in the Battle of North Cape, during which it assisted with the sinking of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944, Belfast took part in Operation Overlord and the Normandy landings; the following year Belfast was redeployed to the British Pacific Fleet, remaining in the Far East until 1947 when it returned to Portsmouth and underwent a refit. At the end of 1948 Belfast was based at Hong Kong and became the flagship of the 5th Cruiser Squadron, and returned to combat during the Korean War between 1950-52. Upgraded and modernised between 1956-59, Belfast moved into reserve in 1963, then marked for disposal in 1971, only saved with the formation of a private HMS Belfast Trust that took possession in July of that year. Initially an independent museum, Belfast became a branch of the Imperial War Museum in 1978.
