Henry Maitland Remembrance 17 March 2018
Henry “Harry” Jervois Ruault Maitland was born at Banstead Hall on 3rd April 1898 and baptised at All Saints on 7th May. He was the son of Edward and Mary Maitland, who had established a preparatory school in Banstead Hall, which used to stand where the flats on the eastern side of Dunnymans Road are now, in 1889.
Young Harry attended his parents' school before going to Harrow in 1912. He left shortly before war broke out and perhaps returned to Banstead Hall as that was the address he gave when he attested with the Royal Navy two years later.
Harry joined the Royal Naval Air Service in April 1916 and received a probationary commission as a alight sub-lieutenant in July of that year. He trained at Crystal Palace and was taught to fly at RNAS Chingford, Essex. Following an accident, it was discovered that he had a heart condition and his flying career came to an end.
He transferred to the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in February 1917 and joined the Trade Division as a sub-lieutenant. He was sent to Naval Control in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, to work in the Examination Service, inspecting incoming merchant vessels to verify their documents and check their cargo before they joined convoys (adopted surprisingly late in the war, in May 1917) bringing vital supplies to Britain, past the German U-Boat blockade.
In February 1918, news reached home that Harry was dangerously ill with scarlet fever. A slight improvement came in early March but then pneumonia developed, and he died at Halifax on 17th March. He was 19 years old.
Harry is buried in St John's cemetery, Halifax. He is commemorated on a plaque in All Saints, on the Garton Memorial in the churchyard and on the panels in the Memorial Chapel, All Saints, but not on the Village War Memorial.

Tiverton Armistice Day 2009 & Wreath Laying
SILENCE fell on Phoenix Lane in Tiverton last Wednesday (November 11) as townsfolk, veterans and civic dignitaries stood stock still to pay their respects to the war dead on Armistice Day.
Two minutes silence was held at the Burma Star Memorial Garden in Phoenix Lane to remember those who had given their lives in the two world wars and other more recent conflicts.
Wreathes were laid at the memorial by Cllr Frank Rosamond representing Mid Devon District Council, Mayor Cllr Paul Graham from Tiverton Town Council, Robin Temple from Tiverton Royal British Legion and by the Honourable Mrs Una Rowcliffe, the daughter of Field Marshal The Viscount Slim, on behalf of the Burma Star Association. As well as being president of the Tiverton branch of the Burma Star Association, the Honourable Mrs Rowcliffe is also president of the South West area Burma Star Association.
Ron Boobier from the Association said: I am pleased to see the observance is still kept and to see so many people turn out.
Prayers were said by the Rev Barry Dugmore from St Georges and St Pauls Church in Tiverton.
Following the service, a small group went on to Tiverton cemetery to remember those who paid the ultimate price for freedom and have been buried in the cemetery
A list of Tivertons war dead was read out by town clerk John Vanderwolfe, and the Last Post and Reveille played.
Wreaths were then laid on the graves of two town Victoria Cross-holders: Private Thomas Sage VC and Brigadier Alfred Toye VC MC.
Private Sage won the VC for his actions in a shell hole in Belgium in 1917 when he threw himself on top of the grenade, saving his comrades but suffering severe wounds to his thigh. Private Sage survived and returned to a heros welcome in Tiverton, he died in 1945 and was buried in the cemetery.
Mayor of Tiverton Cllr Paul Graham said given the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, the remembrance services seemed to have an added poignancy this year. He said taking part in the services was sure to be one of the most memorable aspects of his mayoral year.
From the cemetery, the delegation headed on to the Grand Western Canal to remember two RAF airmen who crashed their plane there nearly half a century ago, after steering away from built-up areas.
The pilot, Flight Lieutenant Roger Moore, and the navigator, Flying Officer Martin Archard, were on board the Canberra aircraft which developed an engine emergency during a night training flight on November 21, 1961. Cadets from 1079 Tiverton Squadron attended the service to remember the heroic sacrifice of the two airmen.
Wing Commander David Chivers from the squadron said: Coming here is about a sense of gratitude and appreciation of their sacrifice and the least we can do is come here once a year and say thank you.
In Crediton, traffic was halted in the High Street at 11am so a two minute silence could be observed at the war memorial.
A wreath was laid by leader of Mid Devon District Council Cllr Peter Hare-Scott, and chairman of the Crediton branch of the Royal British Legion Nigel Cooper, carried the Standard. Representatives from Crediton Town Council, Crediton Hamlets Parish Council and the Crediton RBL and local residents braved the torrential downpour to mark the occasion.
Cullompton mayor Cllr Mike Thompson, who served in both North Africa and Cyprus with the RAF signals between 1965 and 1970, said there was good support for Armistice Day in Cullompton, though he would have liked to have seen more people at the war memorial in the current circumstances.
Cllr Jane Campbell read a small piece on behalf of both Mid Devon District and Cullompton town councils.

Places to see in ( London - UK ) Victoria Park
Places to see in ( London - UK ) Victoria Park
Victoria Park is a park in Bow in Greater London, England. Victoria Park is 86.18 hectares of open space that opened in 1845. Victoria Park stretches out across part of the East End of London, bordering parts of Bethnal Green, South Hackney, Cambridge Heath and Old Ford, such as along Old Ford Road, London E3 and Victoria Park Road E9. Victoria Park has also been applied to the neighbourhood around it which is entirely within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Victoria Park has two cafes, The Pavilion Cafe in the West and The Park Cafe in the East. There are two playgrounds, one on either side of Victoria Park , as well as sporting facilities and a skatepark in the East. Victoria Park is home to many historic artifacts and features and has decorative gardens and wilder natural areas as well as open grass lands. Victoria Park is also used as a concert venue and hosts many festivals each year. The park is approximately a mile away from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Owing to its proximity to the Olympic park, it became a venue for the BT London Live event along with Hyde Park during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Victoria Park has in recent years gone through a 12 million pound refurbishment and many of the park's old features have been reinstated or repaired. Victoria Park has won the Green Flag People's Choice Award for the most popular public green space in 2012, 2014 and 2015, no other park in the UK has won the award three times.
In the latter half of the 19th Century, Victoria Park became an essential amenity for the working classes of the East End. For some East End children in the 1880s, this may have been the only large stretch of uninterrupted greenery they ever encountered. Facilities like the Bathing Pond (picture right) —later superseded by the park lido—would have introduced many to swimming in an era when many public baths (like that at Shacklewell) were still simply communal washing facilities.
During the Second World War, Victoria Park was largely closed to the public and effectively became one huge Ack-Ack (anti-aircraft) site. The gun emplacements conveniently straddled the path of German Luftwaffe bombers looping north west after attacking the docks and warehouses further south in what is now Tower Hamlets, and so the park was of some strategic importance.
Mile End tube station for the Central line, District line, Hammersmith & City line services to Stratford, Upminster, Barking or Central London is 10min via Grove Road, you can take the 277 or 425 to Mile End which is 5min away. Cambridge Heath station for National Rail services to Liverpool Street and Enfield or Chingford is 5mins away via Bishops Way. Victoria Park had its own rather grand station Victoria Park railway station (London), on the North London Railway, closed in 1943. The station survived into the 1960s, but when the line to Stratford reopened, it was replaced by Hackney Wick railway station, which is also a short walk from the Park.
The Regent's Canal and Hertford Union Canal is located next to the park; this offers to access to walk or cycle on its towpaths. Mare Street or Mile End or Hackney Wick can easily be reached from here. The National Cycle Route 1 (NCR1) passes here on the Hertford Union Canal. The Greenway walk/cycle path to Beckton via Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Newham General Hospital starts nearby at the far end of the park.

Mohammed vs O'Brien
O'Brien is evidently discombobulated by Mohammed who informs him that 'the majority' [I repeat 'the majority'] of the Pakistani community deny the Holocaust.
O'Brien reads, after the break, a single text that refutes Mohammed's claim but O'Brien then lies that Mohammed said 'ALL' Pakistanis deny the Holocaust.
Note the texter, purportedly from a Muslim listener, says 'for God's sake'.
An unlikely phrase from a Muslim, I suggest.
