I write to thank you so very much for Sports Editor Kevin Kissane's coverage of the Harry C. Moore Basketball Tournament last month. Of course, I am prejudiced, but I truly believe the tournament is for a great cause—the recognition of young people, acknowledgement of former players and adults who have contributed so much to the young people and basketball in the area.
I also acknowledge all the work that my son, Dale, and his wife, Jennifer, contributed to this. Without their dedication and perseverance, the tournament would not occur for you to cover!
Thanks for all of Kevin's articles and pictures. I am so very appreciative.

James Lawrie (1832 - 1922)
James Lawrie
Post category:Historical Vignettes
The article on this page was researched, developed and created by John C Waugh, for use on the MERRA website. It presents the author's findings based on that research. Some of his conclusions are different from that presented in some historical texts, but unless otherwise stated, are supported by contemporary evidence sighted. Many of the photographs and documents presented in or accessible via this website version of the article were made available for this purpose by current or past residents of our community, and the public at large. Other images and media excerpts are taken from public data bases. In the final analysis, the article provides the author's take on our past history.
Kincardine (or Kincardine-on-Forth) is a small town located on the north shore of the Firth of Forth, in Fife, Scotland. The town at one time was a reasonably prosperous minor port. It was there that, on 5 January 1832, that a son was born to Charlotte May (born 1808). The child was named James. Charlotte was not married to his father, John Lawrie, but James took his father's surname.
Charlotte then developed a relationship with James Falconer. That relationship initially yielded her two more children. Three further children followed, but the Parish Register for the town of Maykirk, north of Edinburgh, records that at this time Charlotte was James' 'lawful' wife. The last of Charlotte's children was born in 1843.
James Falconer thus became James' stepfather. He was 9 years old at the time of the 1841 British census, and naturally enough, was 'living at home'. When the 1851 census was taken, James was no longer recorded as being at the family home.
In due course, James Lawrie sailed from Liverpool to New Zealand aboard the sailing ship 'Red Jacket', arriving on 17 May 1860.
In that year he bought land on the peninsula. In the summary document provided to us, that land is recorded as being 'part Lot 168, 31 acres, for 15 pounds 10 shillings'. This description doesn't obviously correlate with the information shown on Denham's 1853 survey map of the southern part of the peninsula.
Four years later, on 17 May 1864, James married Elizabeth Jane Johnston(e) at the residence of her stepfather, John Parker of Mahurangi.
Here we need to digress to learn a little about Elizabeth's own family, for this has relevance to some of what we shall recount about the lives of James and Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was born in Ponsonby, Auckland, on 2 March 1845. Her father, Captain Hugh Johnston, was a skipper on a ship involved in the Sydney-Auckland timber trade, and was a registered towmaster. Her mother was Margaret Ann Johnston (nee Stewart). She was born in 1818, and died in 1898.
Captain Johnston was lost at sea, on a journey on which his ship was carrying timber spars to Sydney. It appears that the Johnston's only son was with his father on that journey, for he too perished in that incident.
At the time of their death, Mary Ann (Elizabeth's mother) was pregnant with Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth was born, she had as a sibling an elder sister who (like her mother) also was named Margaret Ann. This sister was born in 1832, at Port Lincoln, Australia. In 1862 this sister married a German-born mariner, Charles Ludwig Kasper (born 1832). The sister died in 1898.
At some stage after Elizabeth's birth, Mary Ann remarried, her new husband being John Parker.
The four individuals depicted in the semi-formal photograph below are (from the top left to bottom right): James Lawrie, Elizabeth Lawrie, Mary Ann Parker, and John Parker. The dating of this photo is not known to us.
From Left - James Lawrie, Elizabeth Lawrie, Mary Ann Parker & John Parker
Lawrie Homestead
Let us now revert to the main thrust of our tale … the life of James and Elizabeth (and their immediate family).
The Lawrie Homestead was built at Ngaio Bay. Noel Lipinski (nee Lawrie) has provided us with these two photos of the homestead … taken at different stages in the life of the structure. The notation beside the album photos reads 'Lawrie Residence – Ngaio Bay 1864-1934 – Demolished about 1961'.
Life & Times
Apparently, James spent two years on the Thames goldfields during the gold boom there. The first major discovery of gold in that area was in 1867. Seemingly, James' spell in the Thames area was at some stage during the period of his marriage with Elizabeth.
In May 1881, James Lawrie gave notice to the Licensing Commissioner for the District of Mahurangi, of his intention to apply for a publican's licence when the next Annual Licensing Court hearing was held in the district.
RH Locker, in his book 'Jade River', records that the licence application was for a proposed 'eight room harbour view hotel on his property, just upstream of Scotts.' Among the persons supporting the application is 'George Scott' (a son of Thomas Scott Snr). However, there was a petition to the Court against the granting of such a licence … one of the signatories to which is Thomas Scott jnr. Here is a link to a .pdf file that contains a copy of both the application and the petition.
RH Locker records that the Mahurangi Licencing Court declined to grant James a licence – 'perhaps because, in 1879, J W Darrach was granted a licence for his house at Mahurangi Heads'.
You will be aware that the rubbish transfer station ['the tip'] near Snells Beach is located in Lawrie Road. Noel Lipinski informed us that James owned a lot of land in this area, and the naming of the road was after him. On the other hand, in driving along Mahurangi East Road, to or from Scotts Landing, you've probably not given much thought to the naming of 'James St', just a little on the Warkworth side of Snells beach. Yes, that 'James' recognises that property in the area had been owned by our entrepreneurial local land holder, James Lawrie.
James was prominent in local affairs in the Mahurangi area. His activities included membership of the Mahurangi Roads Board, and of the local school committee.
Elizabeth died on 18 August 1888, aged 43. She is buried in the graveyard of the old Mahurangi Heads Presbyterian Church. James died on 20 July 1922, at the age of 90, and likewise was buried in that graveyard.

James Lawrie's tombstone, in the graveyeard of the yesteryear Mahurangi Heads Presbyterian Church
You'll note that James' gravestone also marks the last resting place of 16 year old 'George Lawrie'. This 'George' was James' eldest grandchild, who died of poliomyelitis (or 'infantile paralysis', as it then was called).
Many of the individuals referred to in this article feature on tombstones or grave markers at the Mahurangi Heads Presbyterian Church cemetery. Our forthcoming vignette on the church and its graveyard will contain images of gravestones of a few of these people who were part of our peninsula's heritage.
James and Elizabeth's children
James and Elizabeth had 9 children:
Margaret Anne (Annie) Lawrie
John Parker Lawrie
James Falconer Lawrie
George Durrock Lawrie
Charles Ludwig Kasper Lawrie
Charlotte May Lawrie
Elizabeth Jane Lawrie
Frances Col Lawrie
William Henry Alexander Lawrie
Having read through the listed names, it will be apparent to you why we digressed a little in the preamble to this article. The chosen names for the children all had some connection with persons who featured in the life of one or other of the couple.
For example, 'Charlotte May' was the name of James' mother. 'James Falconer' was the name of his mother's partner (and ultimately, James' stepfather). As was often the custom at the time, 'Elizabeth Jane' took her name from her mother. 'John Parker' was Elizabeth's stepfather. 'Charles Ludwig Kasper' is the name of Elizabeth's brother-in-law. 'Durrock was the surname of one of the shipbuilding families living and working in the Mahurangi area. And so on … we leave you to tie-in the other names
James Falconer Lawrie and his bride, Maria May Baker on their wedding day 3rd April, 1899
The Lawrie family is one of those who have had a close association with the Mahurangi area, spanning over 150 years, and several generations. Using documentation very kindly provided to is by Noelle Lipinski (nee Lawrie) we've been able to piece together one portion of the Lawrie family tree. You may download a .pdf file containing a copy of the Lawrie family chart which we've created.
Regrettably, and unavoidably, the .pdf file is unable to display our chart with anything like the clarity of our original 'Excel' chart. However, if you adjust the display size in your browser, the text becomes more readable (but it remains somewhat 'fuzzy').
The chart does not purport to be complete in any shape or form. However, we believe the chart does provide a very useful guide to some of the Lawrie family relationships that have existed over the generations. Certainly, if after perusing the chart, you were to visit the cemetery at the site of the old Mahurangi Heads Presbyterian Church, you'd find that many of the names on the various headstones and plinths begin to have more meaning. There are many non-'Lawrie' surnames that are very much part of the wider Lawrie family.

The Risk Pivot
The last decade has seen not one but two energy revolutions. The first, explosive growth in demand from Asia's rising powers, fueled fears about scarcity and conflict. The second, an American revolution in technology and markets, is rapidly strengthening America's hand in the world. There are major security consequences of these shifts, from Saudi Arabia to Africa to Russia, and the emerging powers are increasingly exposed to them—risks, as well as energy flows, are pivoting to Asia. All while a third revolution is struggling to be born, driven by climate change.

The New Politics of Strategic Resources
Since 2008, energy and food markets—those most fundamental to human existence—have remained in turmoil. Resource scarcity has had a much bigger global impact in recent years than has been predicted, with ongoing volatility a sign that the world is only part-way through navigating a treacherous transition in the way it uses resources. Scarcity, and perceptions of scarcity, increase political risks, while geopolitical turmoil exacerbates shortages and complicates the search for solutions.

Endgame for ETA: Elusive Peace in the Basque Country
The violent Basque separatist group ETA took shape in Franco's Spain, yet claimed the majority of its victims under democracy. For most Spaniards it became an aberration, a criminal and terrorist band whose persistence defied explanation. Others, mainly Basques (but only some Basques) understood ETA as the violent expression of a political conflict that remained the unfinished business of Spain's transition to democracy. Such differences hindered efforts to 'defeat' ETA's terrorism on the one hand and 'resolve the Basque conflict' on the other for more than three decades.

What's New at ATU 757?
Welcome to the first edition of ATU 757's brand-new e-newsletter for members! We'll use this space to keep you updated about what's happening inside your union, in the world of organized labor, and around our region. If you have a feature you'd like to see in a future edition, please contact ATU 757 staff!
Oregon's new distracted law means big fines for using a cell phone or two-way radio while driving. There are exceptions for some but NOT all of our transit workers: check out our guide to this new law and how to avoid a ticket.
The ATU 757 family is growing: the 10 bus drivers at Columbia Area Transit in Hood River have won union representation, taking the first steps toward achieving democracy in their workplace. Please join us in welcoming your new sisters and brothers to the union!
TriMet's top boss just got a 3% raise and a glowing performance view from the company's Board of Directors. The Union has looked over Neil's performance review, and we can't help but notice that it's a little more company spin than fact, so we set the record straight with a performance evaluation of our own. The short version: let's judge our transit company bosses by how well they provide quality service and take care of their workers, not how good they are at contracting out union work and fighting workers' comp claims.
Transit operators across our region lack access to adequate restroom facilities and bathroom breaks. Even worse, your sisters and brothers are losing their jobs for answering the call of nature. NW Labor Press features the story of one TriMet LIFT driver who's fighting back with the help of the Union.
TriMet has altered its training program for light-rail managers after ATU 757 filed a complaint with OSHA expressing concern that potentially unqualified managers were driving revenue vehicles with passengers.
In the next week, we'll be publishing a resource guide for members on what to do if you're assaulted. This guide will include tips for how to take care of yourself after an assault, contact information for employee assistance programs, and steps to maximize your health, safety, and well-being. Stay tuned – we'll send out this new guide via email, our website, and social media, and make sure every new member receives it during their union orientation. As part of this guide, we'll also be looking at changes to the Workers' Comp system to ensure that assaulted workers no longer see their claims routinely denied.
At the 55th Annual Oregon AFL-CIO Convention last month, ATU leadership and staff built stronger connections with the Oregon Nurses Association and American Federation of Teachers on the issue of assaults against workers. Both nurses and educational assistants experience the same situation as our members: assaults happening all the time, and bosses that consider them "just part of the job." We'll be working to learn more from the nurses and educational workers about what's helped them address this situation in their workplace, including legislation to require companies to track and report assaults against their workers.
In the past, TriMet operated a "Rider Advocate" program, contracting with local neighborhood-based organizations to provide trained staff to ride bus and MAX, intervene when any conflicts between passengers and workers arose, and providing a calming presence on our transit system. TriMet management cut the program due to "budget constraints," but it remains popular with our members and our community partners. We're exploring what it would take to bring this program back – with or without the company's blessing.
Some of our properties have experimented with de-escalation and self-defense trainings for members, to make sure our workers have all the tools they need to keep themselves safe when assaults occur, and to help de-escalate tense situation before an assault happens. In the coming months, we'll be working with our partners in the law enforcement and public safety community to evaluate and expand these training opportunities to as many of our members as possible.
Finally, we're actively fighting on multiple fronts to ensure that transit facilities are designed to promote worker safety: well-lit, with safe restricted-access areas that workers can use during breaks. That will include a campaign to promote the use of public safety call boxes – like the ones you see on college campuses – to make sure our workers can call emergency services when assaults occur.
We can make a difference, but it's going to take all of us coming together. To learn more about these campaigns and to get involved in stopping assaults on transot workers, please contact our staff Public Policy Coordinator, Jared Franz, via email at jaredf@atu757.org or by calling the union hall at (503) 232-9144.
Earlier this week, the US Supreme Court kicked off its new term, and they've agreed to hear a case that will likely make the entire country "right-to-work" for public-sector union members, like most of the sisters and brothers of ATU 757. The situation is serious, but all is NOT lost: we're going to work with the Oregon AFL-CIO, and unions across the Pacific NW, to stay strong in this new environment.
What is a "right-to-work" law?
"Right-to-work" is an old propaganda term bosses started using in the 1940s, that would devastate public-sector unions across the US. In short, right-to-work makes it illegal for unions to collect what are called fair share fees from non-members in the bargaining unit, even though those "fee objectors" profit from the wages, benefits, job security, and union representation that we provide. The "right to work" is more like the right to freeload on the backs of union members in good standing.
This year, the Supreme Court will hear the case of Janus v. AFSCME, and based on the partisan make-up of the Court, it's almost certain that they'll make the US a right-to-work country for public-sector members; the case doesn't apply to private-sector unions, but we know that it's only a matter of time before that's on the table in the courts or Congress.
So what's our union going to do?
We don't want to mince words: right-to-work is going to be one of the biggest challenges our union has ever faced, and we don't fully know how the impact will be felt in our region. But we know that ATU 757 is up to the task. We're going to use this as an opportunity to strengthen our internal organizing and our local leadership to become a more democratic union, while we work to convert any fee objectors into union members in good standing. We're going to need every member of ATU 757 to fight this latest attack on our Union and on the labor movement. Learn more about "right-to-work," what it means for organized labor, and what we're planning to do about it on our website!

"The tentacles are stretched out, the poison fangs are sharpened, bank- and web-accounts are blocked, but the yuppie is still there, and makes himself more comfortable than ever. Luckily we are well prepared, luckily we have one like him: John Spring, the Don Quichotte from the German east coast, the bassdrum in flesh and blood, the man of greatest humor between two bars since Ringelnatz. And being a true techno troublemaker, he knows his enemies and the spirit of the times, and he knows about people still thinking to be Clark Kent, trying to combine moral doctrine with an ugly tie. But all of this is now null and void -- let's tap-dance on the ruins of the pale majority! John's countless dances on the dispo parquet predestine him for this job, cause nobody else knows better how to extract the dark vibes of electrified feelings as much. Demoniac, bizarre, funky, his music rumbles through the terror of everyday life, washes techno inside-out, and hangs it out to dry in front of the community center. The immediate effect on brain and bone is guaranteed, the body may sweat again, somewhere in between joyful bawling and evil hissing, rumbling and shunkling in 4/4."

Scopri l'affascinante fenomeno naturale della Grotta azzurra in un'escursione di un'intera giornata da Spalato. Fai un giro in barca sulle calme acque del mare Adriatico verso la Grotta azzurra, una meraviglia costiera famosa per la luce color acquamarina che filtra al suo interno. Ammira la visualizzazione spettrale della luce solare e poi dirigiti verso l'affascinante cittadina di mare di Komiza per un tour panoramico, prima di visitare l'ipnotica Grotta verde, un luogo magico in cui la luce del sole filtra attraverso un buco fra le rocce frastagliate. Il tour si concluderà con un po' di relax e tempo libero nella pittoresca cittadina costiera di Hvar, prima del rientro a Spalato.
This is a speed dating version of island tourism from Split. The beaches are beautiful and the staff is friendly and helpful. Best stops are those that avoid large concentrations of tourists. We also enjoyed the military caves. The Blue Cave was closed due to weather but the staff quickly adjusted with other island stops so it was great. This is not for boat novices as the first leg is a 1.5 hour boat ride and small boats are choppy and may be rough. Regardless, this was really good.
The trip is one of the must things to do in Croatia: the caves are breathtaking, the water is amazing and if you're lucky like us you could see the dolphins!!! And skipper Ivan was great, he made the trip also better in and outside the boat. TOP!
You get to see some incredible spots and being on the water is a lot of fun but you do not receive any information as you travel around the Adriatic Sea. We were also on a very uncomfortable boat and the tour was a bit disorganized in the beginning. You have some free time on Hvar island which was nice, but for some reason we did not stop at the swimming spot. Most the of your time is spent on the water. Overall this is a great way to see some incredible places but just be aware you won't get too much information if any at all and make quick stops at each spot.
Simplemente increíble! La embarcación en la que viajamos era nueva y muy cómoda. Los lugares que visitamos son preciosos y estuvimos en cada uno el tiempo justo. Sin palabras para la cueva azul y la isla de Hvar.
Los chicos que nos llevaron eran muy experimentados, y muy amables.
The tour had good and disappointing aspects. The places we saw were absolutely stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed the blue cave and swimming about and exploring some islands. However, we were given pretty much no information all day by our guides, and instead felt the tour was merely just to drive us around on a boat. I had to google when we got back to our hotel to figure out where we had actually been wasn't 100 accurate to the itinerary provided. I understand there may have been a language barrier, that's fine, but we could have been provided with a schedule or information sheet instead. As I said, everything we did was great, but we didn't really learn anything about the area, history or culture which was disappointing.


Sony has just announced the release of two new PlayStation 4 consoles featuring designs from soon-to-be-released games Destiny and The Last of Us Remastered.
We're not going to lie, they look pretty sweet.
It's certainly sleeker than the Japanese version, but leaves you wanting a little more if you're a Destiny fan.
If you're in a darker mood, Sony Japan will sell a black PS4 featuring Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us, which will go on sale on August 21 for 47,980 yen ($473).
Both the Destiny and The Last of Us consoles make us wish we didn't already have a PS4…we don't exactly have tens of thousands of extra yen just lying around, but those new designs are tempting. Also, we're positive these two are going to sell out faster than the non-gaming related Frozen PS4. What the heck was Sony thinking when they came up with that?

CHIEFTAINS, THE
With Long Black Veil, the Chieftains attempted a mainstream pop crossover by recording with rock and pop stars from the Rolling Stones and Sting to Van Morrison and Sinéad O'Connor. Instead of changing their sound to accommodate the talents of their guests, the band plays it straight. As always, their performance is superb; what is surprising is how well the pop stars sing Celtic material. None of the guest singers sound displaced or uncomfortable, which is largely due to the sympathetic performances of the Chieftains. In fact, the pairings work so well that Long Black Veil doesn't sound like an effort to broaden their audience; rather, it sounds completely natural. ~ Sara Sytsma

Katy Moore owner, Sommelier and all around Bon Vivant who loves all facets of wine. I started K Cellars in order to share my knowledge and passion for wine. I am a Sommelier whose drive to showcase great wine resulted in the opening of a boutique importing agency. K Cellars has grown so quickly that I have had to incorporate. KATY MOORE WINES LTD. is the new face of K Cellars.
Our wineries all share the same philosophy that great wine comes from the vineyard. Sustainability is the key along with a proactive approach to vineyard work. They may not all be small wineries but attention to detail is key and you can easily see the effort in the glass.
Discourse on wine is enjoyed at great length around our table. Not just deciding what pairs best with our next meal. Katy Moore is here to connect with wine lovers to answer questions, share opinions, and host events to connect everyone with great wine and food.
Hosting a party and looking for a twist? Katy Moore Wines offers personal tastings based on your choice of topic. Wines can be from personal cellars or the LCBO. Focus on a region, wine style or particular vintage.
Katy Moore Wines offers certain Sommelier services for restaurants: Staff training, wine list consultation, or someone to lead a wine pairing dinner or special event.
When should you drink that special bottle? What should you pair with your favourite dish? What should you buy for that special someone who loves wine? All of these questions and more can be answered when you subscribe to Katy Moore Wines Sommelier service. Yearly subscription holders also receive updates about LCBO releases that they would enjoy. This service is based on e-mail questions and responses. Think of it as a Sommelier app.
Do you love wine but not the time it takes to peruse the LCBO? Let Katy Moore Wines stock and maintain your cellar for you. If you are looking to develop a showpiece cellar or just ensuring that you have something to sip on when company pops in Katy Moore can help.
My aim for starting Katy Moore Wines Ltd. was to connect wine lovers with wines that are found off the beaten path. I have had the opportunity to travel and experience many wine regions first hand. Working in the wine trade as a Somm and a buyer has allowed me to find the small niche wines that don't tend to show up on the LCBO's radar. Sharing my knowledge of wine with the community is what drives me.

Фаты́х Гарипович Булатов (; 20 марта 1902, деревня Нижний Сухояш, Бугульминский уезд, Самарская губерния — 30 января 1986, Казань) — советский военачальник, генерал-майор (3.06.1944). Депутат Верховного Совета СССР II созыва (1947—1951).

Биография
Родился в деревне Нижний Сухояш Бугульминского уезда Самарской губернии.

До службы в армии Булатов работал зам. председателя сельсовета в с. Нижний Сухояш.

15 ноября 1923 г. поступил курсантом в Объединённую Татаро-Башкирскую военную школу им. ЦИК Татарстана в г. Казань. В сентябре 1926 г. окончил её и был направлен в 1-й Татарский стрелковый полк 1-й Казанской стрелковой дивизии ПриВО в г. Казань, где проходил службу командиром взвода, пом. командира и командиром роты. С марта 1930 по август 1932 г. был инструктором вневойсковой подготовки Агаяшского военкомата Татарской АССР, затем вновь служил в 1-м Татарском стрелковом полку командиром роты и пом. командира батальона. В сентябре 1936 г. переведен в 258-й стрелковый полк в г. Елабуга начальником полковой школы. С января по август 1937 г. находился на курсах «Выстрел». В апреле 1938 г. назначен командиром батальона в 157-й стрелковый полк 53-й стрелковой дивизии в г. Энгельс. В июле 1939 г. переведен в ЗабВО командиром 536-го стрелкового полка 114-й стрелковой дивизии. В период боевых действий на р. Халхин-Гол находился с полком в МНР. Указом ПВС СССР от 22 февраля 1941 г. за успехи в боевой и политической подготовке награждён орденом «Знак Почета».

Великая Отечественная война
С началом Великой Отечественной войны продолжал командовать этим полком в составе 36-й армии ЗабВО. В октябре 1941 г. дивизия убыла на фронт и с 13 октября включена в 7-ю отдельную армию. Перед ней была поставлена задача совместно с частями 272-й стрелковой дивизии уничтожить противника в районе Вознесение Ленинградской обл., занять оборону по южному берегу р. Свирь и не допустить продвижения финнов на юг в сторону Чикозеро. Эта боевая задача была успешно выполнена. Своими действиями дивизия не только отбила попытки врага проникнуть в район Чикозеро, но и освободила ряд нас. пунктов: Великий двор, Кондратьевская, Сергеевка, Константиновская, Спиридоновская, Савинов и другие. В первой половине декабря в целях тактического улучшения занимаемых оборонительных позиций она перешла в наступление с задачей освободить дер. Мишино Ленинградской обл. В ходе ожесточенных боев её части освободили этот оборонительный узел врага и вели ожесточенные бои по его удержанию. Однако противнику, имеющему превосходство в живой силе, контратакой удалось выбить части дивизии из деревни, после чего они вынуждены были занять оборону западнее её. В начале апреля 1942 г. 114-й стрелковая дивизия во взаимодействии с частями 272-й стрелковой дивизии прорвала оборону противника, заняла нас. пункты Рябова Гора, Шоганы, Боярская Гора, Кара и вышла на Архангельский тракт. 20 апреля противник, подтянув резервы, перешёл в контрнаступление в направлении Кобялий конец, в результате дивизия вынуждена была отступить и занять оборону в районе южный берег Шакшозерка, Шакшозеро, южный берег Урозеро и Малые Чеги.

В мае 1942 г. подполковник Булатов назначается зам. командира 21-й стрелковой Краснознаменной дивизии, ведущей бои между Ладожским и Онежским озёрами. С ноября 1942 по июнь 1943 г. он проходил подготовку в Высшей военной академии им. К. Е. Ворошилова. После окончания её ускоренного курса назначен командиром 96-й стрелковой дивизии и воевал с ней до конца войны. В составе 11-й армии Западного, затем Брянского (с 30 июля) фронтов участвовал с ней в Орловской и Брянской наступательных операциях. В начале октября дивизия была выведена в резерв Ставки, затем передана Белорусскому фронту и участвовала в Гомельско-Речицкой наступательной операции. За отличия в боях при освобождении г. Гомель приказом Ставки ВГК от 26 ноября 1943 г. она была удостоена почетного наименования «Гомельская». Летом 1944 г. дивизия в составе 48-й армии 1-го Белорусского фронта успешно действовала в Белорусской, Бобруйской, Минской, Люблин-Брестской наступательных операциях. За освобождение г. Слоним она была награждена орденом Суворова 2-й ст. С января 1945 г. дивизия в составе 2-го, а затем 3-го Белорусских фронтов принимала участие в Млавско-Эльбингской, Восточно-Прусской наступательных операциях. Пройдя с боями свыше 300 км, она принимала участие в овладении городами Макув, Хохенштайн, Браундеберг, Аллен-штайн, за что была награждена орденом Красного Знамени. С 1 по 9 мая 1945 г. в ожесточенных боях по очищению косы Фрише-Нерунг дивизия продвинулась на 40 км, где и завершила боевые действия.

За время войны комдив Булатов был шесть раз раз упомянут в благодарственных в приказах Верховного Главнокомандующего.

После войны
После войны генерал-майор Ф. Г. Булатов продолжал командовать этой же дивизией (с августа 1945 г. — в составе Казанского ВО). В июле 1946 г. она была переформирована в 26-ю отдельную стрелковую Гомельскую Краснознаменную ордена Суворова бригаду в составе ПриВО, а Булатов утвержден её командиром. С 20 марта 1947 по 14 апреля 1948 г. проходил обучение на ВАК при Высшей военной академии им. К. Е. Ворошилова, затем был зачислен в распоряжение ГУК. С мая 1948 г. командовал 215-й стрелковой дивизией Приморского ВО. Депутат Верховного Совета СССР в 1947—1951. С 30 января 1952 г. — 55-й гвардейской стрелковой дивизией БВО. С 22 января 1954 г. исполнял должность зам. командира 128-го стрелкового Гумбинненского корпуса 28-й армии в г.

We went inside Hong Kong Disneyland when it reopened. Here's what we saw

We went inside Hong Kong Disneyland during a global pandemic

Hong Kong Disneyland reopened its doors after nearly five months, following the city's first confirmed case of Covid-19 in late January.
The park will operate at reduced capacity and require guests to wear face masks, undergo temperature checks, and adhere to social distancing measures.
A slump in theme park visitors is expected to last at least two years, according to a Wells Fargo Securities analyst report.
After shutting its doors for nearly five months as Hong Kong confirmed its first coronavirus case, Disneyland Hong Kong reopened to the public last week — but with new safety precautions including compulsory face masks for all guests, temperature checks and safe distancing measures.
CNBC attended its re-opening day to see how theme parks in the post-pandemic world might look like.
Hong Kong Disneyland is only the second of Disney's parks to reopen. It follows in the footsteps of Shanghai, which reopened its park last month at 30% capacity, due to government mandates.
Likewise, Hong Kong is operating at a reduced capacity. However, a Hong Kong Disneyland spokesperson told CNBC that Shanghai's capacity is significantly lower than its own, but did not elaborate.
Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Paris, and Tokyo Disneyland are planning to reopen their parks in July with similar measures. Likewise, Universal Studios Parks & Resorts is also gradually reopening in phases at limited capacity.
Guests arrive to Hong Kong Disneyland, after nearly five months of the park being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Reservations to Disneyland Hong Kong must be made online at least seven days in advance, along with a health declaration.
Dozens of staff members throughout the park held signs reading, "Please maintain appropriate social distance."
Cast members, like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, are now making cameos around the park, but due to social distancing measures, meet-and-greet events have been suspended.

Yet, even as theme parks reopen, a quick recovery is unlikely to happen anytime soon, with economies contracting and unemployment at record levels.
The global amusement parks sector is expected to shrink by 2.7% to $71.6 billion in 2020, compared to $73.5 billion a year before, according to Research and Markets.
In February, Disney said it expected to lose up to $175 million if its parks in Hong Kong and Shanghai remained closed for two months — which they did.
To add to the challenges, Hong Kong Disneyland was already struggling before the pandemic. At the start of 2020, the park announced losses of more than $13 million for the 2019 fiscal year, as social unrest in the city deterred visitors to Hong Kong.
Loyal theme park visitors – or season pass holders — have often provided theme parks with a source of recurring revenue stream in recent years, but that relationship may be under strain amid tighter wallets and safety concerns.
Until Covid-19 testing becomes ubiquitous and a vaccine is found, the slump in visitors to theme parks is expected to last for two years, according to a Wells Fargo Securities report.

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR)
The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program reinforces the Air Force's commitment to eliminate incidents of sexual assault through awareness and prevention training, education, victim advocacy, response, reporting and accountability. The Air Force promotes sensitive care and confidential reporting for victims of sexual assault and accountability for those who commit these crimes.
Sexual assault is criminal conduct. It falls well short of the standards America expects of its men and women in uniform. Specifically, it violates Air Force Core Values. Inherent in our core values of Integrity First, Service before Self, and Excellence in All We Do is respect: self-respect, mutual respect and respect for our Air Force as an institution.
Our core values and respect are the foundation of our wingman culture -- a culture in which we look out for each other and take care of each other. Incidents of sexual assault corrode the very fabric of our wingman culture; therefore, we must strive for an environment where this type of behavior is not tolerated and where all Airmen are respected.

Sexual Assault Defined
Sexual Assault is criminal conduct that falls well short of the standards America expects of its men and women in uniform and is a violation of our Air Force Core Values.
Sexual Assault is defined as intentional sexual contact characterized by use of force, threats, intimidation, or abuse of authority or when the victim does not or cannot consent. The term includes a broad category of sexual offenses consisting of the following specific UCMJ offenses: rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual contact, forcible sodomy (forced oral or anal sex), or attempts to commit these offenses.
Consent is words or overt acts indicating a freely given agreement to the sexual conduct at issue by a competent person. An expression of lack of consent through words or conduct means there is no consent. Lack of verbal or physical resistance or submission resulting from the accused's use of force, threat of force, or placing another person in fear does not constitute consent. A current or previous dating relationship or the manner of dress of the person involved with the accused in the sexual conduct at issue shall not constitute consent. There is no consent where the person is sleeping or incapacitated, such as due to age, alcohol or drugs, or mental incapacity.

SAPR Reporting Fact Sheet
173rd Fighter Wing SAPR Reporting Fact Sheet
The Air Force has instituted avenues for reporting sexual assault in the form of Restricted and Unrestricted Reporting.
Restricted Reporting allows sexual assault victims to confidentially disclose the assault to specified individuals (i.e., SARC, SAPR VA, Chaplains or healthcare personnel), and receive medical treatment, including emergency care, counseling, and assignment of a SARC and SAPR VA, without triggering an investigation. It is intended to give the victim (survivor) time and control over the release of their information. Further, it also empowers the survivor to make an informed decision about participating in the criminal process.
Restricted Reporting is available for:
- All Service members and their Dependents over the age of 18
Unrestricted Reporting is any report of sexual assault made through normal reporting channels (for example: reports to chain of command, security forces, and/or Air Force Office of Investigation). This reporting option triggers an investigation, command notification, and allows a person who has been sexually assaulted to access medical treatment and counseling.
Unrestricted Reporting is available for:
- DoD Civilians and their Dependents over the age of 18 (MTF access and/or serving in an OS location)
- Contractors (if supporting in a contingency location outside the continental United States)
Independent Reporting is an assault reported by someone other than the victim.

The Yukon Patrol is a conventional night vision monocular with a huge 60mm objective and 5 times magnification.. Due to a the large optical diameter of the objective lens (60mm) and enhanced contrast transfer function, the images produced by the Yukon Patrol Night Vision 5x60 are bright and crisp with a resolution of around 40 lines/mm.
The Yukon Patrol is a Gen 1 device. The housing of the unit is made of highly durable plastic. Efficient internal arrangement of parts and components contribute to an optimal weight-dimensions ratio.
The NV 5x60 is equipped with a built-in IR illuminator for observing images in complete darkness and also when there are insufficient levels of natural illumination at night (to increase quality and range of observation). The NV 5x60 is also tripod adaptable, convenient for long-time observation.
The NV 5x60 night vision device is a new gen. 1 tube based unit. Five power magnification allows you to view low-sized objects at a distance of up to 180 meters and a standard ¼'' tripod mount for stationary observation.
The NV 5x60 is entirely self-contained and can operate for up to 72 hours on CR123A battery at temperatures ranging from -13°F to +104°F (-25°C to +40°C).


Tuesday we had another day of work on site, and I spent the day painting again. We also got to meet some of the future homeowners. The way Habitat for Humanity works is that it doesn't just give away houses for free, it sells them at below market price and with affordable financing, making no profit. Future homeowners, once selected, have to put in a number of hours of "sweat equity" working on site. They also have to spend a number of hours working on their future neighbour's houses before work is started on their own home. Homes are built in a cluster, and with all the homeowners helping to build each other's houses, it's intended to provide a little community of support.
After work, the trip leaders had planned a "study night" for us. I had brought zero study materials with me, knowing that I wasn't about to waste valuable adventure time. You can study anywhere; you can only do Louisiana things in Louisiana.
Fortunately, the other trippers felt the same way. A couple of the guys suggested we go to a basketball game at Louisiana State University in nearby Baton Rouge, and the entire group decided to go.
It was a lot of fun to see LSU and compare it to campus life at our own university. Sports games at my home university are pretty low-key, whereas this game had a huge audience, all decked out in the school's colours of purple and yellow, and many of the audience members seemed to be alumni. They had their own jumbotron to show us close-ups of the game. There was even a brass band present, that would leap into enthusiastic playing whenever there was a break and the cheerleaders jumped in.
After the game, our whole group was allowed onto the court to take pictures! I'm still not sure how this happened or why we were allowed to do that, but it was awesome.
Finally, we wandered around the campus for a while, enjoying the beautiful architecture and large courtyards, before heading back to Lafayette for the night.
Lots of school spirit!!! Love it!

I'm not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination but it still leaves me astounded at the beauty that can be created in the name of a vast Deity, and this is a perfect example.

We're all about the music again on Episode 561 of Folk Roots Radio as we hold back the interviews for another hour of a great new releases. Actually, we should say we're mostly about the music on this episode, as we're also including a short audio piece from Quebec folk musician Guillaume Jabbour, artist in residence for the ELAN ACE Sound Experience Programme at Sainte Agathe Academy in Sainte Agathe QC, focusing on how his students are coping with the coronavirus pandemic. It's really well done, so we're very pleased to be able to include it in this episode. We have some wonderful new music to bring you, including some excellent Covid tunes, and a very special song to wrap up the hour. Join us for music from VISSIA, Courtney Marie Andrews, The Rough & Tumble, Floyds Row, Rylan Brooks, Merry Hell, Beano & Steve Pledger, Colleen Brown, Mister K, The Strange Valentines, Lisa Redfern and Sing Me A River. Check out the full playlist below.
We started off the episode with Edmonton's VISSIA and the dreamy "About Moving On", the second single from her forthcoming album "With Pleasure". We followed that with Courtney Marie Andrews and "How You Get Hurt", a song that chronicles her own experiences of loneliness and heartbreak. You can find that on Courtney Marie Andrews' latest album "Old Flowers", a beautifully sparse and reflective recording that's all about the end of a nine-year relationship and the process of recovery.
One of our favourite duos The Rough & Tumble, who feature multi-instrumentalists Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler, have just released "You Took Your Turn" – the first single from their forthcoming album "Family If You Say So", which is expected in February. The new album features 12 songs reflecting on the highs and lows of family life, and what it is like to set boundaries. It sounds like another interesting project – we are definitely looking forward to chatting to Mallory and Scott about it. And, if you want to know why we love The Rough & Tumble so much, you should definitely check out their visit to the Sun Parlour Coffee House Sessions.
Floyds Row are an instrumental music collective formed in Oxford in the UK, who explore the connections found between the classical, folk and bluegrass traditions. On this episode we play their version of "Drive The Cold Winter Away" from their 2017 album of traditional and original works "The Oxford Sessions". Check out their great ValleyCAST Virtual Summer Concert from August 2020 HERE.
Pennsylvania Country and Western duo Rylan Brooks latest single "Keeping My Distance", which was produced by Dean Miller, captures the essence of living a distanced existence while emphasizing the resignation and desperation felt in current times. It will be included on their second full-length album "If Wishes Were Horses" which is due in early 2021.
"We wrote Keeping My Distance as a way to express the feeling of going through a difficult time and to make something good out of it. It's not just about the pandemic, but recording the song during the pandemic influenced the song, for sure. We're really proud of it and all the effort that went into making it happen at this extraordinary moment."
Quebec folk musician Jabbour joined us on Episode 528 of Folk Roots Radio to chat about the wonderful ELAN ACE Sound Experience Programme at Sainte Agathe Academy in Sainte Agathe QC. Guillaume reached out to us just before the holidays with a new audio piece he'd made with the students.
"This fall, I decided to facilitate a bucket drumming workshop with my students to minimize talking, and teach music basics (rhythm, time signature, dynamics). On the last day of the workshop, I opened up to the students about how I was feeling with regard to the pandemic and invited students to express themselves. The piece draws a parallel between the statements made and the idea of being 'stuck in a hailstorm'. Like a hailstorm, the real effects of the pandemic kind of dropped on us suddenly – we don't really know when or how things will clear up, and there have been many highs and lows. Intertwined between frank and thoughtful reflections of the students, are sounds captured by the students around the school as well as the sound of a hailstorm I experienced at home."
Folk-Rock band Merry Hell from the UK have released a wonderfully rousing new Covid Tune "When We Meet Again", which they describe as a song of hope for 2021 and beyond. The song also features the 300 strong Social Isolation Choir.
The romantic and wry "It's The End Of The World (Again)" comes from "Isolation Songs", prairie raised Toronto based Colleen Brown's new album of songs written in quarantine.
We chose to subtitle this episode the 'Never Give Up' edition after we received an e-mail about "What If? (Never Give Up)", a song by Beano & Steve Pledger that is being used by the art and mental health charity RTprojects (who are based in Durham City in the North East of England) to support their 'Never Give Up' Suicide Prevention campaign. The lyrics for What If? capture Beano's own experience of suicidal thoughts, with a musical accompaniment written by Steve Pledger. It's a great song.
Because of the pandemic, more people than ever are struggling with their mental health. Beano and Steve hope that What If? (Never Give Up) will help those who may be going through a tough time realize that they are definitely not alone. Hang in there. We will get through this!
Manitoban singer-songwriter Kevin Roy who now makes music as cosmic balladeer Mister K released "In Event Of Moon Disaster", a musical journey through the highs and lows of a mental health struggle, earlier this year. Kevin has just released the latest single from the album, "Harmony", which comes with a magical wildlife video.
"When the pandemic hit and touring was no longer possible, I spent months filming a fox den on my property to help cope with anxiety brought on by the uncertainties of our new reality. I've used the resulting footage to create a video to accompany my latest single "Harmony" as a way to bring a little hope and harmony to people in these challenging times."
Check out our great interview with Mister K discussing the "In Event Of Moon Disaster" project.
Nova Scotia's The Strange Valentines, who feature Janet Mills and reformed Australian rocker David Farrell, have released a great new single "Burning House Waltz". It's the first single from their forthcoming album, the wonderfully titled "Does Anyone Know How to Fix Old Radios?" – which is expected in Spring 2021.
"Burning House Waltz is about how we are destroying the planet and how those in power seem to be "dancing" while it burns. We decided to release it on New Year's Eve because the analogy of the final moments of the year – to how much time we have left to fix climate change – seems rather appropriate."
Lisa Redfern from Maine wrote her new single "Something Beautiful" during the early days of the Covid pandemic.
"Something Beautiful is inspired by the creativity of an old friend (and all the creativity we've been witnessing during lockdown), as well as a letter from my late mom with the advice to "learn to make something beautiful with your hands."
Wise words indeed. Keeping busy is one of the best ways to get through these challenging times.
We wrapped the episode with "Need A Little Peace", the beautiful new single from folk roots harmony trio Sing Me A River. The song was released just before the holidays and comes with a lovely video. We just knew we needed to play this now, even though we'd already put our holiday episodes to bed for the year.
Stay safe and well everyone… and a Happy New Year to you all!
We have a lot more great music and interviews to bring you in 2021.

If you enjoy the music we play on this show and want to support the artists – many of whom aren't able to play live at the moment because of the Covid-19 pandemic, don't just stream their music – that earns them much less than a penny per play. Instead, buy their music – and really make a difference to their income. They'll love you for it!

(A short story, based very-loosely-not-too-tightly on Acts 9:34-42)
In the city of Joplin there lived a widow named Dory, who was always doing kind things for others, especially the poor. She was a skilled seamstress, and since the time of her husband's death, several rooms of her home had been overtaken by bolts of cloth, and sewing machines, and a loom, and baskets of yarn, and great piles of clothes. She loved to sew and weave and knit clothes to give to her friends and family as well as to charity, though at times she felt obligated to continue her work only because of her reputation and because of her investments in so many supplies. One day, after working for weeks on an assortment of sweaters and socks, scarves and mittens, plaid shirts and plaid skirts and work pants and onesies, she donned her shawl, loaded up her gifts, and drove to the community shelter.
Dory was humble about her work, not an ostentatious giver. But to her surprise the shelter manager, who knew she was coming, made a big fuss over her that day. She draped over Dory's shoulder a special sash that read, "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver," and she encouraged her to walk among the people of the shelter to distribute her gifts. And so she did, and she was pleased to see joy from some, and confounded to see indifference from others, when she gave them the garments and raiments made by her own hands.
At last, in the far corner of the shelter, there was a young couple with a baby. They smiled and introduced themselves as Peter, Maggie, and baby Nicolas. Dory could not help noticing that Peter's pants and shirt were threadbare, and Maggie had uncomfortably hoisted up her stained blouse over her breast to feed her baby. When Dory offered them a onesie, they insisted on undressing the baby to try it on him at that very moment. It was a perfect fit, and they were very grateful. When Dory offered the mother one of her specially designed sweaters with an ingenious buttoned flap over the chest for ease in breastfeeding, Maggie insisted on removing her blouse and bra to try it on at that very moment. The sweater was comfortable and the flap worked like a charm as she lifted it to continue feeding baby Nicolas.
Dorcas clothing the poor
Dory was a little surprised by the candor of this couple, but she also felt quite exhilarated by their appreciation. So without hesitation she offered Peter a pair of work pants with a plaid shirt. He insisted on trying them on at that very moment. As he began to remove his clothes, Dory looked away, feeling awkwardly prim even as she confirmed that others in the crowded shelter were watching the scene with interest. After a time in which she imagined that Peter would have finished putting on the new clothes, she turned around, and saw that he stood naked before her.
She suddenly felt very flushed, very stifled. Was it the shock of his nudity, was it the heat of the packed room, a lack of oxygen, was it the weight of the clothing she was both wearing and carrying? For some set of reasons, she fainted, and her clothes spilled all around her.
When she came to, Peter was standing over her, saying, "Get up, Dory!" And when she saw him, she sat up. He gave her his hand and helped her up, and called out to the others in the shelter, "She is recovered!" and "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver!"
The shelter manager told Peter to try on the new clothes already. But Peter did not, saying instead, "Thank you, Dory, for your gifts to clothe me and my family. There are times when we need clothes, just as there are times when we need food, when we need shelter. But our bodies are also gifts–glorious gifts from God–and when we share our gifts unwrapped, we share in the generous community of God's likeness. We are humble and unashamed."
Dory still felt overly warm, but much better, and her mind was suddenly clear. She pulled the sash over her head and placed it, speechlessly and fearlessly, over Peter's shoulder. She removed her shawl and draped it over the shelter manager's back. She hugged Peter and his family, saying, "I have been hiding myself, binding myself tightly. But I believe you, and I believe in our gifts." Then she turned to leave, and as she walked back through the shelter to the entrance, she removed her shoes, her stockings, her sweater, her pants, her blouse, her undergarments, giving all of these items cheerfully to the astonished people of the shelter.
The news raced through the town, and there were many who believed Peter. And Peter and his family stayed a long time in Joplin, living with Dory, the seamstress, who continued to sew and weave and knit for charity, even while practicing with her houseguests and friends a more fundamental and absolutely threadbare generosity.

The Chattri is a war memorial in the English city of Brighton and Hove. It is sited  above the city on the South Downs above the suburb of Patcham, and is accessible only by bridleway. It stands on the site where 53 (37 Hindu and 16 Sikh) Indian soldiers who fought for the British Empire were cremated during the First World War. The structure has Grade II listed status, reflecting its architectural and historic importance. In  2017, as part of the 100th anniversary of World War I, the site of the Chattri was dedicated as a Fields in Trust Centenary Field because of its local heritage and significance.

Indian soldiers in Brighton
India was part of the British Empire during the First World War, and more than 800,000 Indian soldiers fought for the Allied Powers. During the four years of fighting, thousands of wounded combatants were brought to Britain to be treated in makeshift military hospitals. Three were established in Brighton; one was the town's famous royal palace, the Royal Pavilion. King George V is said to have decreed that Indian soldiers were to be treated at the Pavilion, apparently believing that the flamboyant Indo-Saracenic building would provide familiar surroundings. In December 1914, 345 injured soldiers were transported to Brighton by train and were transferred to the hospitals. The King and Queen, Mayor of Brighton, Chief Constable of Brighton and other dignitaries visited frequently, and careful arrangements were made at the Royal Pavilion to provide for the different dietary and other cultural requirements of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims.

Although the great majority of soldiers recovered from their injuries, some died. The 21 Muslim men who died were taken to the Shah Jahan Mosque in Woking, Surrey, and buried in accordance with Islamic tradition in a new cemetery. The bodies of 53 Hindus and Sikhs were taken to a remote location high on the South Downs above Brighton, where a ghat (funeral pyre) was built so they could be cremated and their ashes scattered in the English Channel. This funeral rite was again carried out in line with religious custom. In total, 18 men who were treated at the Royal Pavilion died, ten of whom were cremated on the ghat. (The 56 other victims died at the Kitchener Hospital—now Brighton General Hospital—or a temporarily converted school at York Place.)

History of the memorial

In August 1915, soon after the last cremations at the ghat site, a lieutenant in the Indian Medical Service and the Mayor of Brighton, Sir John Otter, planned the establishment of a memorial to the soldiers who had died in Brighton. Lt Das Gupta made the proposal, but Otter took on the project almost single-handedly; after leaving his position as Mayor he chaired Brighton's Indian Memorials Committee. In December 1915 he made a proposal to the India Office for a memorial on the ghat site and another in Brighton town centre; Sir Austen Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for India, agreed this in February 1916. In July of that year, the land on which the ghat stood, and the immediate area around it, was transferred from the Marquess of Abergavenny to the ownership of Brighton County Borough. At the same time, the India Office agreed to share the cost of building and erecting the memorial with Brighton Corporation (the forerunner of the present Brighton and Hove City Council), on the understanding that the Corporation would be responsible for the town centre memorial.

Funds were raised during 1917. After delays caused by the need to dedicate all available resources to the war effort, in April 1918 a building firm, KirkPatrick Brothers of Trafford Park near Manchester, was awarded the contract to build the memorial. The main building material was marble; its arrival from Sicily was delayed by more than a year, but building work started in mid-1920.

A young Indian architect E. C. Henriques from Mumbai, who was completing his studies in England designed The Chattri; Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, an English architect who was responsible for many buildings in India and who helped pioneer the Indo-Saracenic architectural style, provided guidance. Construction work started in August 1920 and continued until the end of that year. Brighton Corporation owned the memorial and took responsibility for its maintenance, and a cottage was provided nearby for a caretaker. This added £1,117 (£ in ) to the final cost of £4,964 (£ in ).

The Chattri was unveiled on 1 February 1921 by Edward, Prince of Wales.

By the mid 1930s, the memorial had fallen into disrepair. The caretaker had died, with nobody replacing him, and the cottage had been demolished. The India Office, which had received many complaints about The Chattri's condition despite the Brighton Corporation having taken full responsibility for its upkeep, liaised with the Corporation and the Imperial War Graves Commission in an attempt to encourage action. Between them, they planned a new maintenance policy and agreed to reduce the amount of surrounding land belonging to the memorial; in 1920 a  area had been created around it. The Second World War intervened, though, and the whole area was hurridly requisitioned by the Army. By the end of the war, The Chattri was covered with bullet holes, having been used as a target by troops practising their rifle shooting. After the war, the War Office agreed to pay in full for repairs, and The Chattri was restored to its original condition. Starting in 1951, the Royal British Legion undertook annual pilgrimages to the memorial, and also contributed to its upkeep. Although these  pilgrimages ceased in 1999, the Sikh community has led a similar annual ceremony every year since 2000.

The Chattri was listed at Grade II by English Heritage on 20 August 1971. It is one of 1,124 Grade II-listed buildings and structures, and 1,218 listed buildings of all grades, in the city of Brighton and Hove.

Architecture and location

The Chattri was built at the exact location where the funeral pyres were constructed for the cremation of the 53 soldiers. This is a peaceful, isolated  position on the South Downs,  above Brighton and overlooking the city and the sea. The only access to the memorial is from a path off a bridleway between the A27 Brighton Bypass at Patcham and the Clayton Windmills at the top of the Downs. The bridleway, which at that point runs along a ridge between Hogtrough Bottom and Deep Bottom, is part of the Sussex Border Path, and The Chattri is at the northern extremity of the City of Brighton and Hove, on the border with the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex.

White marble from Sicily was used for the body of the memorial. It sits on a plinth of grey stone which stands over three blocks of granite which cover the slabs used during the cremations. The Chattri takes the form of a tall, domed pavilion, rising to  to the finial at its apex. The base is square, and the eight columns carrying the dome start with square bases before becoming octagonal halfway up. The base of the dome is then octagonal. The plinth bears an inscription in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, the text of which was prepared by Sir John Otter:

There is a $2,000 reward for help in catching the fiend who raped a 12-year-old girl in a Tremont alley. The suspect walked up to the child Tuesday near the corner of East Tremont Avenue and Southern Boulevard at 6:25 p.m., grabbed her arm, and threatened to kill her if she screamed, cops said. The perv tried to force the girl into two apartment buildings on East 179th Street, but both were locked. He finally dragged the victim to an alley on Daly Avenue, where he raped her, authorities said. After the assault, the victim took off running, and the rapist fled in the opposite direction, cops said. The suspect is believed to be in his early to mid-teens, and about 5-foot-2. Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
This wasn't the work of Santa and his elves. Three burglars broke into a University Heights apartment through the fire escape on Christmas Eve, and hauled off a bed and a sofa, authorities said Friday. The 28-year-old tenant came home at 10:10 p.m. on Dec. 24 to find someone had slipped into her Tiebout Avenue home through the rear window, cops said. A surveillance camera in the hallway captured the thieves carrying the furniture out of the apartment.
Two thugs robbed a Bushwick bodega at gunpoint, authorities said. The crooks burst into Halsey Convenience on Halsey Street near Broadway on Feb. 9 at 10:10 p.m. and one drew a gun on the 20-year-old clerk, cops said. The worker forked over $400 from the register to the gunman's accomplice, and the duo ran off, police said. The clerk was not injured. The suspected gunman is believed to be about 17 or 18 years old, stands about 5-foot-2 and weighs about 160 pounds. His cohort, also in his late teens, is about 6 feet and 180 pounds.
Maybe he had a job interview coming up. A man has been arrested for boosting three business suits from Macy's in Downtown Brooklyn, police sources said. Fritz Mathiew, 59, walked into the department store at the Fulton Street Mall near Hoyt Street at 1 p.m. on Feb. 21 and started trying on the designer duds, the sources said. Mathiew allegedly tried to walk out of the store with the ensembles, two by Calvin Klein and one by Vince Camuto worth a total of $1,300, but security stopped him at the door and called police, sources said. It wasn't immediately clear whether the suspect put the suits in a bag or whether he was wearing them. Mathiew, of Queens, has been charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
A man's badly decomposed body was pulled out of the East River near Murray Hill on Friday, cops said. Police were called to the ice-covered river near East 38th Street around 12:45 p.m. after someone spotted the floating body. It appears that the man died some time ago, and the corpse was too damaged to immediately determine whether there had been any foul play, sources said. The Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause of death.
Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan is asking for the public's help finding an alleged drug dealer from New Brighton, who was added Thursday to the DA's "Most Wanted" list.
Arthur Williams, 27, is accused of selling coke to an undercover officer at least twice before June 2, 2014, when he vanished after being indicted by a grand jury on conspiracy and criminal sale of a controlled substance charges, Donovan said. Williams, whose last known addresses are 151 Jersey St. and 24 Van Tuyl St., is part of a violent crew that peddles drugs along Jersey Street, according to Donovan. The DA said Williams stored, transported, and negotiated prices for the drugs before dealing to the undercover. People with information about Williams' whereabouts should call 718-556-7030. Callers can remain anonymous, and there is a $1,000 reward for information leading to fugitive apprehensions.
