Between 2014 and 2019, secondary school pupils from every state school in England were given the opportunity to visit the battlefields of the Western Front as part of the UK government’s flagship educational initiative to mark the centenary of the First World War. Based on empirical research conducted with pupil participants on the First World War Centenary Battlefield Tours Programme, this article explores the processes of militarisation present within these tours as well as the way young people participated in and made sense of these practices.

Quaker Women

Throughout the period 1860–1914, British Quaker women sought to negotiate the incorporation of fashionable attire into their wardrobes to varying degrees, after the religion's hierarchy made prescriptive religious ‘Plain’ dress optional in 1860. After centuries of restrictive Advices, which used Scripture alongside peer pressure to encourage female Friends to dress ascetically, Quaker women began to interpret their new sartorial freedoms in diverse ways. Through the presentation of three female case studies from across the period, this article will suggest three newly identified distinct stances that Quaker women enacted in responding to the new Advice and adapting to fashionable ensembles, up until the devastating events of the First World War. These three stances were non-adaptive, semi-adaptive and fully adaptive. Based on empirical research conducted in dress collections across Britain, this article will describe and present the garments worn by these women, to illustrate and introduce these distinct sartorial stances.

There is substantive evidence of the long-term integration of veterinary microbiological facilities within the USSR’s biological warfare programs. The initial impetus to this process were the concerns of the early Soviet regime over BW sabotage attacks by Germany in the First World War. In December 1918, the Red Army created its own military veterinary facility which was eventually transferred to Zagorsk. BW research also appears to have been pursued at a civil laboratory on Lisii Island close to the town of Vyshny Volochek.

My contribution focuses on the early years of the Salon des Humoristes held in Algiers in the 1920s. This event contributed to the development of caricature in Algeria in the wake of the First World War. Although it is difficult to trace the careers of all the caricaturists because of a lack of biographical information, we shall see that those present in the first editions of the Salon des Humoristes in Algiers were most often born in Europe where they trained before settling in Algeria, while some others were born in the French departments of Algeria. The first edition of the Salon des Humoristes d'Alger took place in 1924 and was hailed with success by the Algerian press. This initiative had a precedent in Paris, notably with the Salon des Humoristes held in the French capital in 1907. My paper aims to explore this echo between the Algerian and the Parisian Salon and to discuss the impact of caricature in the early years of this event. My objective is to understand to what extent the training and artistic background of the exhibitors determined and/or allowed the development of Algerian caricature and what its relationship with the Parisian exhibition was.

Frank Lee Pyman was born at Malvern on 9 April 1882 and died on 1 January 1944 after a prolonged illness bravely and cheerfully borne. His grandfather, George Pyman, J.P., of Raithwaite Hall, Whitby, was a self-made man of the sea, of Scandinavian extraction one or two generations back. George Pyman spent his early years on the ocean; later he owned a steamer and eventually a fleet of boats, the firm controlling them being known as George Pyman & Co. of West Hartlepool. George was a talented and capable business man who founded shipping firms for his sons in various ports; Frank and Fred were put in charge of Pyman Bros of London, Jack was put into the firm of Pyman, Watson & Co., and James went to Newcastle-on-Tyne and Hull to join Pyman, Bell & Co. The combined fleets of these firms in the period before the first World War of 1914 were one of the greatest family tramp concerns in the country. George’s fifth son, Francis-(but usually known as Frank and father of Frank Lee Pyman), was born in 1854 and was a man of great ability. He shone at school at West Hartlepool as a boy and later (1869), at the Royal High School, Edinburgh, took the Lord Provost’s Medal in Greek, one in French and a special prize for proficiency in the Greek Testament. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1874, and turned from classics to law, winning firstclass honours in the Law Tripos in 1877. In 1878 he graduated in honours, B.A. and LL.B., becoming M.A. in 1881. He began to qualify for the Bar, but gave this up to devote himself to his shipping concern. This interest was, however, apparently short-lived, for he took to politics, being a keen liberal, but overworked himself in this sphere. After a visit to Egypt and the East he returned to politics and acted as private secretary to Lord Rosebery in 1887, and in 1892 contested Whitby in the liberal interest. His health again gave way under the strain and he lived in prolonged retirement, dying eventually at the advanced age of eighty-seven years.

Sir Leonard Hill, who died on 30 March 1952, in his 86th year, came of a family which could claim distinction both in the scholastic field and for public services. His great grandfather, T. W. Hill, was a disciple of Joseph Priestley, and with his four sons, Arthur, Rowland (the future postal reformer whose efforts resulted in the penny postage, Fellow of this Society), Matthew Davenport (Recorder of Birmingham), and Frederick (the prison reformer), founded a school for boys at Birmingham which was conducted on novel lines which attracted much attention in the early years of the nineteenth century. Arthur Hill was followed as headmaster and owner of the school by his second son, Birkbeck, who married Annie, daughter of Edward Scott, a solicitor of Wigan. The school was moved to Bruce Castle, Tottenham, and it was here that Birkbeck Hill’s son, Leonard, was born on 2 June 1866. Birkbeck Hill sold the school and moved to Burghfield, near Reading, and devoted himself henceforward to literary work, editing Boswell’s Life of Johnson for the Clarendon Press, as well as other John- soniana. Leonard Hill, after going to a preparatory school at Bournemouth, which he disliked, went to Haileybury, where he followed the ordinary classical course, but received only poor mathematical training and had no opportunity at all for the study of natural science. Nevertheless, he attained the sixth form owing, as he maintained, to his knowledge of history, literature and scripture rather than to his acquaintance with the ancient languages, and at the same time he gained a reputation as a Rugby football player. He wanted to be a farmer, but his parents had other ideas, and decided that his elder brother, Maurice, should be a barrister (he was subsequently a judge in the Admiralty and Divorce Courts), that another brother, Norman, should be a solicitor (at a later date he became secretary to the Steam Shipping Association of Liverpool and an authority on shipping in the first World War), and that Leonard should enter the medical profession.

The article consists of three parts. In the first part the author gives a survey of the large artistic renewal that took place in the Netherlands around 1900. Special attention is given to "de beweging van Tachtig"(the movement of the "Tachtigers"), a renewal movement in literature in which the composer Alphons Diepenbrock was involved. In the second part a short description of the life and work of this most important Dutch composer of the end of the nineteenth century is given. In his early years Diepenbrock orientated himself to composers like Wagner, especially around the First World War (in which the Netherlands remained a neutral country), and he became a fervent admirer of French art. His music is a unique synthesis of Wagner's chromaticism, the word-bound rhythms of plain-chant and the polyphonic music of the old Flemish schools of Ockeghem and Josquin. In the third part the author deals with a couple of Diepenbrock's (artistic) contacts. There are highlights on Mahler, Sch?nberg and Debussy, primarily based on their correspondence.
