Steven Haby collection
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 23rd of December 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.
Copies of this photograph may be ordered from us, for more information see: www.newcastle.gov.uk/tlt Please make a note of the image reference number above to help speed up your order.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Neurdein et Cie of Paris. The card has a divided back.
Abba Eban
"History teaches us that men and
nations behave wisely when they
have exhausted all other alternatives".
This was said during a speech in London UK on 16th. December 1970 by Abba Eban (1915-2002), an Israeli diplomat and writer.
Visé Paris No. 584
The reference to 'Visé Paris' followed by a unique reference number means that the image has been inspected by the military authorities in the French capital and deemed not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' signifies that the card was published during or soon after the end of the Great War.
Verdun
Verdun (Official name before 1970 Verdun-sur-Meuse) is a city in the Meuse département in Grand Est, northeastern France.
The Battle of Verdun in The Great War
In the Franco-Prussian War, Verdun was the last French fortress to surrender in 1870. Shortly afterwards, a new system of fortification was begun. This consisted of a mutually supporting ring of 22 polygonal forts up to 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the city, and an inner ring of 6 forts.
Verdun was the site of a major battle, the longest-lasting of the Great War. It was one of the costliest battles in military history, and exemplified the policy of a "war of attrition" pursued by both sides, which led to an enormous loss of life and very large casualty lists.
Following the failure of the Schlieffen Plan in 1914 and the solidifying of the Western Front, Germany remained on the strategic defensive in the west throughout most of 1915.
In the winter of 1915–16, German General Erich von Falkenhayn, the chief of the German General Staff (1914–1916) made plans for a large offensive on the Western Front that ultimately aimed to break the French Army through the application of firepower at a point that the French had to hold for reasons of national prestige.
As Falkenhayn recalled it, his so-called "Christmas memorandum" to Kaiser Willhelm II envisioned:
"A massive but limited attack on a French
position for the retention of which the French
Command would be compelled to throw in
every man they have."
Once the French army had bled to death, Great Britain could be brought down by Germany's submarine blockade and superior military strength. The logic of initiating a battle not to gain territory or a strategic position but simply to create a self-sustaining killing ground - to bleed the French army to death -pointed to the grimness of military vision in 1916.
Recent scholarship by Holger Afflerbach and others, however, has questioned the veracity of the Christmas memo. No copy has ever surfaced, and the only account of it appeared in Falkenhayn's post-war memoir.
It is possible that Falkenhayn did not specifically design the battle to bleed the French army, but used this supposed motive after the fact in an attempt to justify the Verdun offensive, despite its failure.
Verdun was the strongest point in pre-war France, ringed by a string of powerful forts, including Douaumont and Fort Vaux. By 1916, the salient at Verdun jutted into the German lines and lay vulnerable to attack from three sides.
The historic city of Verdun had been an oppidum of the Gauls before Roman times and later a key asset in wars against Prussia, and Falkenhayn suspected that the French would throw as many men as necessary into its defence.
Ironically, France had substantially weakened Verdun's defences after the outbreak of the war, an oversight that would contribute to the removal of Joseph Joffre from supreme command at the end of 1916.
The German attack was slated to begin on the 12th. February, then the 16th. February 1916, but the snow forced repeated postponements.
Falkenhayn massed artillery to the north and east of Verdun to precede the infantry advance with intensive artillery bombardment. His attack was to hit the French positions on the right bank of the Meuse.
Although French intelligence had warned of his plans, these warnings were ignored by the French Command, and troop levels in the area remained low. Consequently, Verdun was utterly unprepared for the initial bombardment on the morning of the 21st. February 1916.
German infantry attacks followed that afternoon, and met tenacious but ultimately inadequate resistance for the first four days.
On the 25th. February 1916, the Germans occupied Fort Douaumont. French reinforcements - now under the leadership of General Philippe Pétain - began to arrive and were instantly thrown into "the furnace" (as the battle was called) to slow the German advance, no matter what the cost.
Over the next several days, the stubborn defence managed to slow the German advance with a series of bloody counter-attacks. In March, Falkenhayn decided to target the French positions on the left bank of the Meuse as well, broadening the offensive front twofold.
Throughout March and April, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme and Hill 304 were under continuous heavy bombardment and relentless infantry attacks.
Meanwhile, Pétain organised repeated, small-scale counter-attacks to slow the German advance. He also ensured that the sole supply road from Bar-le-Duc into Verdun remained open. It became known as the Voie Sacrée "Sacred Way" because it continued to carry vital supplies and reinforcements into the Verdun front despite constant artillery fire.
German gains continued in June 1916, but slowly, and only after increasingly heavy losses on their side. On the 7th. June, following almost a week of bitter resistance, Fort Vaux fell to the Germans after a murderous hand-to-hand fight inside the fort itself.
On the 23rd. June, the Germans reached what would become the furthest point of their advance. The line was just in front of Fort Souville, the last stronghold before Verdun itself.
Pétain was making plans to evacuate the right bank of the Meuse when the combined Anglo-French offensive on the Somme River was launched on the 1st. July, partly to relieve pressure on the French, although the first day was the bloodiest in the British Army's history.
The Germans could no longer afford to continue their offensive at Verdun when they were needed so desperately on the Somme. At a cost of some 400,000 German casualties and a similar number of French, the attack was finally called off. Germany's intention to bleed France to death had failed.
The battle continued, however, from October to the end of the year. French offensives, employing new tactics devised by General Robert Nivelle, regained the forts and territory they had lost earlier. This was the only gleam of hope in an otherwise abysmal landscape.
Overall, the battle lasted 11 months. Falkenhayn was replaced by Paul von Hindenburg as Chief of General Staff. General Nivelle was promoted over the head of General Pétain to replace Generalissimo Joseph Joffre as French supreme commander, although he was to hold the post for less than six months.
Cemetery and Memorials
There are many French and German cemeteries throughout the battlefield. The largest is the French National Cemetery and Douaumont Ossuary near Fort Douaumont. Thirteen thousand crosses adorn the field in front of the ossuary, which holds roughly 130,000 unidentified remains brought in from the battlefield. Every year yields more remains, which are often placed inside the ossuary's vaults.
Among many revered memorials on the battlefield is the "Bayonet Trench", which marks the location where some dozen bayonets lined up in a row were discovered projecting out of the ground after the war; below each rifle was the body of a French soldier. It has been assumed that these belonged to a group of soldiers who had rested their rifles against the parapet of the trench they were occupying when they were killed during a bombardment, and the men were buried where they lay in the trench and the rifles left untouched. However, this is probably not historically accurate: experts agree that the bayonets were probably affixed to the rifles after the attack and installed by survivors to memorialise the spot.
Nearby, the World War I Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial is located at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon to the northwest of Verdun. It is the final resting place for 14,246 American military dead, most of whom died in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The chapel contains a memorial to the 954 American missing whose remains were never recovered or identified.
On the 12th. September 1916 King George V awarded the Military Cross to the City of Verdun, one of only two awards of this British decoration to a municipality during World War I, the other being Ypres.
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
If the 170m rounds were on average two feet long, and if they were laid end to end, they would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres); the line would go round the equator over two and a half times. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne
of explosives was fired for every square metre
of territory on the Western front.
As many as one in every three shells fired did
not detonate.
In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300
million projectiles that the British and the
German forces fired at each other were "duds",
and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous.
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'
I'm so excited to share with you that my Gratitude Pages have been published in the April issue of Art Journaling Magazine! More at my blog.
I know, it's not Universal Studios or Time Magazine, but my name and pic are in a Zen Buddhist journal. They sent me the article that my pic is in. Not the whole journal. How cool is that??
No, I didn't get paid for it and I'm A-OK with that.
My first publication ever in a specialized photo magazine.
Thanks to the Better Photography team for selecting my photo.
My first magazine cover! Woot! This is for the Greater Houston Partnership magazine Here is Houston. For someone who lives mostly in the digital world (even with her film) it's so wonderful to see my work in print and especially on a cover. Makes me almost feel like a real photographer. You can see the original photo here.
Description: Program published for the 1987 Ingleside Invaders baseball team. The programs were self-produced by the team under direction of their head coach Dan Harrington, with help from assistant coaches and other community members. Mr. Harrington has given his approval to the San Francisco Public Library for these publications to be reproduced here on Flickr in digital format. Mr. Harrington has written a description of these publications and the Ingleside Invaders baseball team..
"The last of the Sandlot League teams in San Francisco is the Ingleside Invaders, the only team to sign up in 1990 for the 18-and-under division of SF Rec-Park Baseball, the direct descendent of the Sandlot League known in the 1980s as the Neighborhood League. (I don't know when the Sandlot League started, but it is thought to have its origins before 1900).
"The Invaders ball club was a successful representative of the neighborhood, with players from many public, private and parochial high schools chipping in small amounts of money (no more than $25), getting to keep full uniforms; businesses donated funds (except for the Marines who still owe me fifty bucks!) while receiving ad-space for the team's self-produced publications showing stories about "the Greater Ingleside" history and contemporary times to the rest of San Francisco. The Invaders made some life-long friendships and fielded some good baseball teams!
"My recently passed father Richard Harrington took many of the photos, while my brother Richard Jr, who passed away in 1998, compiled some stats and kept book for many of the games. The 1986 paper stock was provided by the Coca-Cola bottlers on Bayshore Blvd. and printed by the team, complete with a team picture in the relatively new light rail vehicle (LRV) "streetcar" yard off Ocean Ave.
"Ingleside finished second in 1986, 87, and 88. Ingleside was surprised in a playoff game in 1989. But it did give the best example of multiple schools represented on the same summer team and a model to use for the RBI Baseball and Softball program run independently by Dan Harrington (calling in lots of favors for help) in 1997 at Crocker-Amazon and Balboa Park, and in conjunction with City College baseball courses (John Vanoncini) and Columbia Park and San Francisco Boys and Girls Clubs from 1998 to 2010."

i did a shoot for a philippine theater group here in tokyo..
they are going to stage a play in shibuya this sunday..
the play is called DULAWITOG
a mix of play, and songs.
the shot was from metropolis magazine issue March 6, 2009.. :)
Apparently, I had the best photo of the worst thing in Nashville. But, as of yesterday, that worst thing (The I-65 Nathan B. Forrest statue which had no remaining defenders) was removed. It's actually a little bittersweet for me because it made me a little Internet famous, but I guess that won't happen any more. I'd sold the photo several times to comedy news shows, such as the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Quibi's America Today.
I have a photo which appears on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. It is from Season 27 episode 36 which aired on Dec. 7 2021, on the day which the statue was removed. Find the full episode here with the segment around the 4 minute mark:
www.cc.com/episodes/swdbbi/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noa...
In this specific screenshot, the host points out how the statue makes Forrest look like he is fleeing a gun fight at a saloon.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Mitchell & Thunder of 6, Middle Street, Hastings.
The card was posted in Hastings on Friday the 8th. July 1921 to:
Mrs. Parsons,
44, Clonmore Street,
Southfields,
London.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"12, Havelock Road,
Hastings.
Dear Flo,
Here we are at H -
very nice journey down,
not crowded.
We like the place very
much.
We are now sitting on
the steps of the Hill, it
is lovely.
Hope you will all have
a nice holiday.
How is little Georgie,
going on alright I hope.
Will think of you tomorrow
at hospital.
Love to all,
J."
The St. Lawrence Seaway
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 8th. July 1921, the U.S. and Canadian Joint Commission reported that the proposed St. Lawrence Seaway canal linking the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean could be constructed at a cost of $252,278,200.
German War Crime Trials
Also on that day, France's observers at Germany's war crime trials departed from Leipzig after declaring that the German trials were "a farce".
John Money
The 8th. July 1921 also marked the birth in Morrinsville of the New Zealand psychologist and sexologist, John Money.
Money was known for his controversial sexual identity study on David Reimer.
David Reimer
David Reimer, who was born in Winnipeg on the 22nd. August 1965, was a Canadian born male. However he was raised as a girl following medical advice and intervention after his penis was severely injured during a botched circumcision in infancy.
David was ostracised and bullied by peers (who dubbed him "Cavewoman"), and neither frilly dresses nor female hormones made him feel female.
In addition to his difficult lifelong relationship with his parents, Reimer had to deal with unemployment, and with the death of his brother Brian from an overdose of antidepressants on the 1st. July 2002.
On the 2nd. May 2004, David's wife Jane told him she wanted to separate. On the morning of the 4th. May 2004, Reimer drove to a grocery store's parking lot in his hometown of Winnipeg and took his own life by shooting himself in the head with a sawn-off shotgun.
David Reimer was 38 years of age when he died. He was laid to rest at St. Vital Cemetery in Winnipeg.
Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. It was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, which she had clipped from New York’s Metropolitan Magazine, and pasted the framed clipping on the wall of her bedroom, as the model for the face of Anne Shirley, the book's main character. Montgomery also found inspiration in the "formula Ann" orphan stories, the Anns without the e. Other characters, like Gilbert Blythe, were modelled, in part, on real-life characters. Montgomery wrote the novel in the twilight of the day, sitting at her window and overlooking the fields of Cavendish. Since publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million copies. In addition, this book is taught to students around the world.
A Panamax cargo ship exits the lock right in front of us. I'm not sure the photo adequately captures the enormous size of this ship.
Panamax ships are designed to the maximum specification of the Panama Canal, with only 2 feet of clearance on each side as the mules guide it through the locks.

Per celebrare l'incoronazione, X Factor ha deciso di invitare tanti ospiti, italiani e internazionali, che divideranno il palco del Mediolanum Forum insieme ai nostri talenti.
#XF8 è iniziato con lui e con lui doveva terminare. Dopo la sensazionale performance del primo Live Show sulle note del suo ultimo singolo, Senza scappare mai più, Tiziano Ferro torna a regalarci grande musica d'autore su un palco ancora più grande: quello di Assago!
Per la prima volta a X Factor diamo il benvenuto a una delle rocker più importanti della musica italiana: Gianna Nannini! Con alla spalle 40 anni di carriera, centinaia di live e un album, Hitalia, appena uscito, Gianna Nannini ha scelto il palco di X Factor per regalarvi la Finale più spettacolare di sempre.
Da giudice ad amica e ora ospite della Finale, anche Arisa delizierà il pubblico della sua presenza. Reduce da un tour (Se vedo te tour) per molte tappe sold out, da un film, Colpi di fulmine e da un romanzo edito Mondadori Tu eri tutto per me, Arisa torna a X Factor per portare la sua musica.
L'ultimo ospite italiano che si esibirà sul palco del Medionalum Forum per la Finale di #XF8 è una cantautrice con all'attivo 3 album, un disco multiplatino, sette dischi di platino e due dischi d'oro. Stiamo parlando di Malika Ayane, la cantautrice classe '84 che dal 2008 fa impazzire il pubblico con brani del calibro di Ricomincio da qui e Come foglie.
Ma non è finita qui, vi avevamo parlato di ospiti stranieri... Il primo che vi sveliamo è un dj e produttore di fama internazionale, con oltre 8 milioni di album venduti in tutto il mondo e vincitore di 2 Grammy Awards: David Guetta! Per la prima volta in Italia con la sua band, eseguirà live durante la Finale il singolo Dangerous, il brano certificato platino e contenuto in Listen, il suo primo album di canzoni che vede la partecipazione di artisti del calibro di Emili Sande a John Legend, SIA, Nicki Minaj, The Script, Magic!, Ryan Tedder di One Republic.
I secondi ospiti internazionali sono la “New band of the day” come li definisce il Guardian: "Ogni loro canzone si annuncia con un fiorire e molto slancio, e c'è una leggera spolverata di ritmi caraibici, sapori tropicali e salotto-jazz." Loro sono i Saint Motel, che dal 2009 a oggi sono riusciti a suonare in tutti gli Stati Uniti aprendo i concerti degli Arctic Monkeys e degli Imagine Dragons. Durante la Finale di #XF8 canteranno il loro singolo My Type, che, dopo avere conquistato l'Inghilterra è ora ai vertici delle classifiche radio e di iTunes anche in Italia.

During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
