This is dated 26 November 1915. My interpretation is below. Kolling strolls along in the sunshine, smoking a cigarette, hands in his pockets. He is relaxed and happy, no weapons in sight. The laughing sun peeps out from behind the clouds of war, suggesting a dream or wishful thinking. The world is bright and shining, the fields are green, the buildings undamaged. The war is coming to an end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1483775192745-95P6109DXTVTBTOT52FP/Kolling+18.jpg home - K18. This is around Christmas Day 1915. I assume from K5 that Christ on the Cross was significant to Kolling. This was an emotional time for him. The clouds of war are intense and tumultuous, threatening to overwhelm the world around him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1483774784500-WTC8HMKNEQNBMRAGIX1E/Kolling+1+med+lge.jpg home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1483775353750-L15NHI8XZX9XCIL6QP7M/Kolling+29.jpg home - K30. Kolling's 'puppchen'. Kolling is still on active service, so this is most likely a farm dog he has befriended. In the midst of war, this contact with innocent animals was important. Captain Ogle writes in his Journal - 'Once again we saw and talked to women and children, cats and dogs. Some even found cows and horses and talked to them.' p118   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1483774955716-UULE49DIWWATCIGZGVOD/Kolling+8.jpg home - K8. I think it's coal they're carrying in those heavy sacks and that bucket. In the far background are the outlines of the rolling clouds that I think represent war. Kolling develops the imagery as the sketchbook progresses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1483776945949-K7HPLRV7SZQ9RQ86HR9C/Kolling+27A.jpg home - K28. These sketches of Gurkha POWs are gentle portraits. They show respect for the enemy. The Gurkhas fought the Germans fiercely at the Battle of Loos, suffering huge casualties. Some were taken prisoner of war. Kolling portrays the Sikh as a kindly man holding his head high, rather than an enemy to be humiliated or belittled. _ _ _ _ _ It echoes the attitude of Capt Henry Ogle towards his German opponents. In his Journals Ogle describes an event where one of his men received a DCM, and the Croix de Guerre from the Belgians. ' . . . Then we brought in the dead German. We laid him on a stretcher and had him carried down to Battalion Headquarters. There was a little cemetery at Wulverghem and there we gave him a proper military funeral.' (p44).   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1491026225012-9O9DRCJBRC2FGYU1RTDM/Theo+5+Etaples.jpg home - Etaples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1491026852429-TDC9S0VN7SSRGSUQYO9Y/THEO+HESDIN+sm.jpg home - Hesdin     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1491025131659-HZFDSSI2WH6ROGLE4YZI/Theo+HORSE+4.jpg home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1491027131951-G8X0RYF20FL6DRRMUZ2W/Theo+29+sniper.jpg home - Sketch showing position of sniper and machine gun emplacement 1/2 MILE SW OF HESDIN AT RIGHT ANGLE TURN IN 2nd CLASS ROAD.

It wasn't his sketch. This was painted by an orderly at the military hospital at Etaples, John Thompson. As an orderly, Thompson would have seen the most horrific of injuries after Passchendaele. This was his therapy - to become lost in the calm peacefulness of a beautiful day, and to share it with others. Henry Ogle also sketched this area. The rough sketch below is from The Fatal Battle Line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1503890885205-C5ABYOPDWVNUIA5LZ4TK/IMG_5376.jpg home In later life, George Victor Stanley became headmaster of Nottingham School, with a talent for woodcuts. C. Harold Fitch followed in his father's footsteps and became vicar of Melton Mowbray. He made a name for himself as a specialist in English dialects, and had a passion for music. These two men were conscientious objectors. On 7 December 1917 Stanley and Fitch were in the Guard Room at Abancourt, on the line between Rouen and Amiens. They were there to support 15 young men of the 2nd Northern Coy NCC (Non Combatant Corps) who faced court martial and the possibility of the firing squad. This was a tight-knit group. They'd served together for 18 months, mainly in Calais and Boulogne. They refused to bear arms, but served in any way they could outside of fighting. Many had stated a preference for the RAMC on their enlistment forms, knowing they could come under fire as stretcher bearers. In reality, they worked in a bakery at Calais, providing food for troops entering France and the wounded returning home to England. Morale was tremendously important. Stanley and Fitch worked on maintaining morale. Stanley kept 3 sketchbooks from that time.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1503895279293-HOVHUEFW0QMP0E0MJ0XD/IMG_5290.jpg home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1498616591583-GYVD1R38IOVBJTWNIVSG/IMG_5377.jpg home This double page spread is George Stanley's description of those in his tent at Calais.

A "Squib" (Small Scouting 'Plane - British). Cecil Weatherill Elliott was a 14 year old schoolboy at a school in Ealing when he gave this sketchbook to his Greek teacher, Mr Whitestone, in July 1918. The treatment of war is heroic, with acknowledgement of the contribution of the Allies. Later pages show Elliott and his classmates as Greek heroes under the tutelage of their wise master. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1475473690482-34H5Y5VINM36D6FQBNSH/ELLIOTT+flags+3.jpg Ephemera - XXXII.

'Her father, Alvin J Michaelson was from Germany, and to the best of my hunting, I believe he arrived in the States in 1880.' 'My grandmother served with the U.S. Army. From what I have seen and heard, there were not many of them.' I found Mary B. Michaelson on the top of page 831 in the following document, showing 1918 postings to the Letterman General Hospital in California. Nursing News and Announcements The American Journal of Nursing Vol. 18, No. 9 (Jun., 1918), pp. 821-846 Published by: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3405677 The Letterman General Hospital was the first army general hospital in the US to employ women, according to their website. From there Nurse Michaelson was sent to France. War service was hard, uncomfortable and heartbreaking, according to the Military Nurses in WW1 website. Overseas the nurses faced raw, cold weather and shortages of water for bathing and laundry, long hours at work and little privacy or time off. They treated shrapnel wounds, infections, mustard gas burns, exposure and medical and emotional trauma. _ _ _ _ _ Mary Belle had a treasured memento from those troubled times - a wonderfully romantic Charles Murat cigarette case with the inscription France 1919.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1485065203955-1751J5QI6VFBZ0VZY7MM/War+Album+38.jpg Ephemera https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1485066015586-A9KULPSSTEPOY4G42UQS/War+Album+28.jpg Ephemera - Badges of the British Army     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1485217677972-A7U5OOZ182F14L9TWJYG/War+Album+18.jpg Ephemera - An Australian Volunteer & his flag.

alive, - yet one could not but help to admire the scene. At 5.30pm, a request came along for volunteers for getting up more ammunition; for both A & B Company also for our "maxims". I apply for the job and am fortunate enough to get accepted. We requisition "wheelbarrows" for it was obvious that one would only be able to accomplish one journey, even if one proved successful, and set off. We have about three-quarters of a mile to go, as the ammunition is stored in D. Company's "bomb-proof" shelter. On arriving abreast A Company's trenches, we are obliged to get in rear of them for had we proceeded in front along the road we should have undoubtedly been shot by our own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1486079948497-B7ADS2DP318FO5VV4P18/Antwerp+-+removal.jpg WW1 Diaries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1486080084945-ACZZSG24QTV1OAFGYW2Q/Antwerp+affidavit+1.jpg WW1 Diaries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1486016609148-OCLIYTL4AO1D8LY8V4BU/Antwerp_defences%2C_1914.jpg WW1 Diaries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1485924521145-CR75NWYCG5A9HT6LHCZE/IMG_4462.jpg WW1 Diaries or request came for volunteers for a reconnoitering patrol. Of course I couldn't be out of this piece of promising sport, so after asking the Adjutant if I could come, and gaining his consent, I picked up my rifle and 50 rounds of ammunition, and we set off. Before I started I had to appoint somebody to take my place in case of "accidents". After preceeding about three-quarters a mile from "camp", we "spotted" a patrol of "Uhlans", German advance scouts. I blew my whistle and made the sign to get to "earth". I was only about ten paces from our Adjutant, and we lay watching them for about 20 minutes, when they rode away in the direction of their own lines. I was then told to blow my whistle and get our patrol of 8 men together, which I https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1485927331396-F1DFOFE7OFUE7GIXDAID/IMG_4399.jpg WW1 Diaries I get about half way through this letter, when a whistle is blown, and we are told to "man the guns" again. The Germans are about 6 or 700 yards away and advancing through the woods. I station my men at the guns, and finished my letter by scrawling something across the unwritten page. I address the dirty envelope and an officer posts it on his way to "headquarters". We again retain our fire, and after they had approached sufficiently near enough, we gave them h--- again and they clear off. All day, shells have been falling pretty thick in the town, and great walls of smoke are all around the horizon in our rear, also one of the"forts" on our left has been put out of action by the enemy artillery.

It contains a lens suitable for use as reading glasses. Payne wore reading glasses - but with his head heavily bandaged these are no longer practicable. Perhaps the Army supplied this lens. It would certainly help with reading, but writing would still be a challenge to focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1487815161436-FU5KH7YSNCRBYNY2NA7I/Message+book+-+screen+1.jpg WW1 Diaries - 'It hit me silly when it hit'   This is the start of the one-sided conversation.

'We were in the same trench as you this morning' 'Trees' 'Trees' 'village' 'Forty' 'Villoy ' 'Trees' 'cemetry' At Mons, soldiers were killed by friendly fire when shots from the artillery fell short. Payne believes the same thing happened here. Their own artillery was firing over their heads to give them cover as they retreated, with tragic results when the barrage fell short. His dramatic claim is repeated later in the book. 'I do not think the Mons affair was in as we were getting knocked out by our own guns' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1487998180888-M89GE6OM34AIP8SDCTCW/Message+book+-+10528.jpg WW1 Diaries - Shearer 10528 This is the entry that gives context. It's elsewhere in the book among the roll calls and requisitions lists. It's important because it gives Shearer's service number. 'Shearer got killed in the trenches. Bullet' 'Shearer got killed' Shearer was killed, so his details are on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) site. The service number 10528 is the key to finding the right entry. Rifleman Lawrence SHEARER S/10528 of the 12 Battalion Rifle Brigade was killed in action on 19 March 1918 and is remembered on the Pozieres Memorial.       https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1487814126455-JKH9TYKEU8BE95T76L71/Message+book+-+home+1.jpg WW1 Diaries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1488435183805-YJMDIMDRUNARKCD9NSV6/IMG_4720.jpg WW1 Diaries - 'I had a look at my face last night'   'I had a look at my face last night and it is worse than I thought it was.'

Start of the diary - 24 May 1917 Today the battery was reinforced by twenty men drawn equally from the 4 battalions, & none too soon, as we are very short of men. Unfortunately these men will be wholly untrained if any stiff work ensue, & will be of little more use than carriers. The captain should have seen to this matter long ago, or at least not later than when we last went out into Reserve. If instead of over-drilling a few unfortunates who were already trained he had trained fresh men, we should be twice as effective a unit today, & everyone would have been better pleased. The worst of it is that we section officers have to suffer, as we take the men into action while https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1538197530364-BDXUXBMOS0RH4F1A2QY7/Messines+2.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1535348654563-I8AKZ481RW1DAWXV5RIO/IMG_6635.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' - Book 1, 31/32 After tea we walked to our camp , MAHUTONGA, & found that the battalion was to be relieved that night.. All went well enough, & there was a great reunion. The Brigade supply work was rotten. Rations were bungled, & water supplies were by no means assured because some units were allowed to take more than their share of this. Wilson, Brigade Bombing Officer, is useless. He did not go over himself, or send his friend Douglas of 2nd Otago (a lazy devil) over either. He left his 100 Brigade carriers to Withall & me, so we were unable to organise battalion carriers. Withall was wounded before going over, & so I was left practically alone to run the supplies. Wilson should have established a dump about an hour after we went over. I did. He got his Brigade dump going on the morning of the 9th only! The casualties of the battalion were light - only about 215 out of 750. Officer casualties were heavier, largely because of their eagerness to keep close to our barrage. Clancy & Tiddy owe their deaths to our own shell fire & not to the Huns’. Of sixteen officers combatant (leaving out C.O., Adjutant, 2.M., Transport Officer) eleven are casualties. Eleven out of sixteen is far too high! Indeed, Hursthouse was also wounded, but did not go sick to we came out, by which time his knee had swolen (sic) & necessitated his resting. As far as I can remember … https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1534482697521-CDCP4T8M4M54CR3P6WTD/IMG_6730.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' - Book 1 (cream) and book 2 (black) - Frank Simon's diaries The diary runs over two books, from May 1917 through to January 1918. Frank Simon was born to Thomas and Edith Simon in Dunedin, New Zealand around 1887. He studied at Otago University before travelling to Ireland to continue his studies at Trinity College Dublin. There he meets a young Irish girl, Mary Kavanaugh (Mamie). They marry in London halfway through the war. Not everyone is happy; Mamie is treated coldly by some of his friends when they return to Ireland on leave. Was it a religious issue? From his book choices, Simon leans towards atheism. In the field, he attends Protestant services. Simon’s women friends are the most disapproving, so perhaps he and Mamie were ‘living in sin’ before the marriage. The fact that the marriage was in London rather than Ireland supports this notion. Simon is later relieved to find that her parents approved of the marriage; it appears they did not know in advance. Perhaps Simon and Mamie moved to London to escape censure. … The diaries are laced with comments and opinions, giving insights into Simon’s thoughts and feelings - on the rich and famous, his fellow officers, his friends, and those around him. This is a very personal history. It ends 9 days before he is killed in action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1534821942062-XQQ6PPLYH3YV1AB5H8MR/IMG_6676.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' - Book 1, back 10 Books to get:- Balzac.

(shake)down on the floor & had an hour or two's sleep The waiters are an insolent & disobliging gang. Next day, 8.12.17 I journeyed to Paris. At Hazebrouck, where we changed trains, or rather at Calais, a very pretty French girl got in & the four or five officers present had quite a lot of fun, & when she got out at Amiens the journey seemed very dull. On arrival in Paris about 10.30 it was raining. I got a taxi with some difficulty & got to Rue Daunon, where I had been recommended to put up at Hotel Daunon. It was full, so I went along to the Astra Hotel in the Rue Caumartin, & got a small room,the last they had. It is quite satisfactory. Sunday, 9.12.17, I slept in nearly all morning, as I was very tired. I had the unaccustomed luxury of breakfast in bed, but the French make it too light a meal. In the afternoon, which was dull & raining, I went under the guidance of Holmes of 1st Cant. to report to the Commandant. Tea at the Cafe Lionel, 1 Rue Edouard VII, cost us 3.50 a head & was not worth it. We then walked in the Champs Elysee. I had lunched in the Hotel. I dined with Holmes at the Ceylon Tea Pavilion, in the same street as the Hotel. The dinner is good & quickly served, but not ample enough! Price is reasonable - about 4.50. This includes a drink. The waiters are all Hindoos. After dinner we went to the Alhambra. The turns are nearly all in English, but the standard is not up to yhat of London & the price for orchestral stalls, 12 frs., is much dearer than average music hall prices in England. I was disappointed in the show. After returning top hotel, I went out for a stroll. Of course I was accosted several times, & ultimately I lost myself & took a long while finding my way back to the hotel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1538870179105-S916IQ9OH8TB9M6P5SU2/1917.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1538198618883-GTHAM7K66F28UN4W5YU8/IMG_6834.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1535431260714-U30P5MOZYFQHNMBYN8WO/IMG_6653.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' - Book 1, 67/68 … heavier gun of lower velocity is firing at a heavy gun of ours a few hundred yards off. I hope these shells were all meant for that objective & come no nearer us. 7th. The night passed quietly enough, as far as anything coming near us was concerned. The party up in the trenches got shelled fairly heavily but without sustaining casualties. 2/Lt. Cook arrive & was posted to the Coy. We have now 7 Officers, a marvellous thing for a Coy. on Active Service! Captain Greer arrived. He is a senior captain, & was posted to the 10th Coy., displacing granites as 2nd. in C. I am now the only 2 in C. who is not a captain. I am very pleased , but fear that someone will soon displace me. 9th. Major Hargest told me today that my name has gone in for promotion to a Temporary Captaincy, as I have now been 30 days with them. I hope this means they’ll ante-date it 30 days & give me the pay. I spoke to him about my leave, & he is going to do what he can for me. I hope I get it soon, & the Captaincy before it. 11th. Went into Bailleul on horseback. Yesterday Capt. Hewat took ill & went to hospital, as Lt. Hursthouse did the previous day. Cook was sent to the model platoon for a course, & so only four Officers remained. McKeown was attached to us to enable us to carry on equally with the other Companies. I had a good day in … https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1537253319586-YG2UUNPO7QUIAZE64ICQ/IMG_6681.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' - Book 2 - Aug 1917 to Jan 1918 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1538201301586-2ULDMRSVSS1VYRU2XMK9/duckboards+image.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/560e2e0ee4b015462b7c2b2e/1537849770463-0TFKJLKIIDHPL7NIYNEL/IMG_6719.jpg WW1 Diary - 'the Messines stunt' - Book 2, 73/74 He didn't get the trenches except in one or two places, though he had aeroplanes up spotting, but he kept us all up on the qui vive. We had no casualties. The shells were H.E. shrapnel mainly, & the trenches were full of fragments, but no one was hurt. About 7 pm. the Waikato Coy. of the 3rd. Auklands relieved us. I came out with hthe C.S.M. & a runner. Just past the Butte de Polygon we ran into an S.O.S. - our own. Our guns to work in great style, & we had a lively few minutes charging in between belching guns & getting almost scorched & deafened. The Westhoek road was very slippery & slow going, but we got to the Birr X rds. in time to get a slow train to WALKER CAMP, where a hot meal was waiting for us. Here we have been since. 31.12.17. Today there was an Enquiry into the loss of Pte. James & into my conduct & Newton's. The Court was to come to no finding. I felt quite sure that if the case was taken further I'd have a very good defence, but the enquiry showed me that either Major Tracey or I stood to cop a blast, & I guessed it wouldn't be him if he could help it. He evidently said he could not let Brigade Know everything because I had reported so tardily, & the evidence was 6.25 a.m. on the Patrol Report. But I never saw this 6.25 a.m., & know I sent off the report about 4 a.m. Newton swears it was earlier. It seems to me it was timed in Orderly Room when someone woke up to read it. 1.1.18. Today the quarterly reports came out, & mine was directly opposed to all previous ones. It said I was "an unreliable officer. Administration bad. Showed no initiative in dangerous circumstances." It was a shock to me. Of course Tracey is responsible. I do not think Col. Charters would have given me such a report. Major Hargest signed it, but as he returned only the day before & as he had been away 3 months the report cannot be his own opinion. I immediately sent in my resignation of the Company ... https://www.trench-art.net/hold-music daily 0.75 2017-09-02
