Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published to coincide with the opening of the new Museum of The Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in October, this is an edited collection of articles unearthed in the regimental archives. Modern soldiers depend on their equipment, from the weapons in their hands and the tanks that support them, to the communications equipment that connect them to their commanders. Formed in 1942, the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) have maintained the British Army's equipment and kept their machines moving for nearly 75 years. REME have been involved in every single operation undertaken by the British Army since World War II, and the Corps has some fascinating stories to tell. This is a collection of some of the fascinating accounts unearthed in the archives and written about in the The Craftsman (the Corps Magazine) and The REME Journal (the publication of The REME Institution) – including the Birth of REME; Operation Grapple – UK Nuclear Testing on Christmas Island; and the Mystery of Mussolini's Boots. It provides unique insights into inspirational deeds and bravery and good-humoured fortitude that have characterised the British Army through the ages. All profits from the book's sale will go to the REME Benevolent Fund and SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have no problem with what people believe. I believe our governments when people want to change our way of live, because of what they believe. As a Minister of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus in this wonderful, peaceful Christian civilisation with a Christian heritage and a blessed way of life, Our Lord said, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you – you of little faith? So do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:25-34 - NIV) Remember what Jesus said about today, “So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.” We pray our politicians will be faithful 'each day' to punish wickedness, vice and treason and honour our Christian heritage and way of life. I am writing this book with great concern about the direction of our wonderful country. The constant media reports about Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Africa and even now the United States of America to start with, are very disturbing. Remember 9/11. And just recently the killing of a priest in his church in France! Where is the love and the peace? As a student of history I was amazed at the excellent works by authors John F Kennedy and Louise Shaw concerning the events in Europe 1932 - 1939. Kennedy wrote “Why England Slept” whereas Shaw examined how the political elite at the time were ineffective. Sir Winston Churchill, who is one of my heroes and whose grave I visited in Bladon, wrote a book “While England Slept.” Hence the title of my book, “While Australia Sleeps”. I will repeat some of these comments later in this research work for emphasis – simply because Australia is asleep to the infiltration of Islam since 1966. Much of the media reports I would love to use are prohibited due to copyright restrictions – a form of censorship. To me another form of discrimination against true Australians – those who love our country, our system of government – OUR LAWS – which others are ignoring and would wish to overturn. We are the ones being discriminated against since 1966. Hopefully this will be explained later in the case – The Two Dannys. Claims of racial hatred go both ways – or do they? Most true Australians are not racist but PATRIOTS! We are grateful to our forefathers. Our forefathers cared for our welfare and sacrificed their youth and lives; some immigrants care for our welfare? The President of the group to which I belong said Denmark may have 5% Muslim population but they use 40% of the welfare budget. So, I was thinking about the title of this book - Firstly: “Why Australia Slept” Then: “Why is Australia Still Sleeping?” Also: “While Australia Slept” But now: “While Australia Sleeps”. So, what's happening? As a Christian Civilization with Christian Heritage and way of life, we are blessed in this wonderful country Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The official companion to the Emmy-winning Netflix drama chronicling the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and starring Claire Foy and John Lithgow, The Crown by Peter Morgan, featuring additional historical background and beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills Elizabeth Mountbatten never expected her father to die so suddenly, so young, leaving her with a throne to fill and a global institution to govern. Crowned at twenty-five, she was already a wife and mother as she began her journey towards becoming a queen. As Britain lifted itself out of the shadow of war, the new monarch faced her own challenges. Her mother doubted her marriage; her uncle-in-exile derided her abilities; her husband resented the sacrifice of his career and family name; and her rebellious sister embarked on a love affair that threatened the centuries-old links between the Church and the Crown. This is the story of how Elizabeth II drew on every ounce of resolve to ensure that the Crown always came out on top. Written by the show’s historical consultant, royal biographer Robert Lacey, and filled with beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills, The Crown: The Official Companion: Volume 1 adds expert and in-depth detail to the events of the series, painting an intimate portrait of life inside Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Here is Elizabeth II as we’ve never seen her before.
Download or read book Dead Woman Pickney written by Yvonne Shorter Brown and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dead Woman Pickney chronicles life stories of growing up in Jamaica from 1943 to 1965 and contains both personal experience and history, told with stridency and humour. The author’s coming of age parallels the political stages of Jamaica’s moving from the richest Crown colony of Great Britain to an independent nation within the British Commonwealth of Nations. Taking up the haunting memories of childhood, along with her astonishment at persistent racial marginalization, both locally and globally, the author sets out to construct a narrative that at once explains her own origins in the former slave society of Jamaica and traces the outsider status of Africa and its peoples. The author’s quest to understand the absence of her mother and her mother’s people from her life is at the heart of this narrative. The title, Dead Woman Pickney, is in Jamaican patois, and its meaning unfolds throughout the narrative. It begins with the author’s childhood question of what a mother is, followed by the realization of the vulnerability of a child without its mother’s protection. The term “pickney” was the name for slave children on sugar plantations, and post-emancipation the term was retained for the descendants of enslaved Africans and the children of black women fathered by slavers. The author struggles through her life to discover the identity of her mother in the face of silence from her father’s brutal family. A wonderful resource for teachers of history, social studies, cultural studies, and literature, this work could be used as a starting point to discuss issues of diasporic identities, colonialism, racism, impact of slavery, and Western imperialism around the world. It is also an engaging read for those interested in memoir and life writing.
Download or read book Twice the Man written by Rodney Angell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rod Angell has woven the details of his eventful life into a vivid story of “rags to a comparatively comfortable retirement.” He was born in 1929, the year of the Wall Street Crash and the poverty of his family, struggling in the Depression to live and care for their children on a scanty income; however, all this was of lesser importance to him in later life than being born in the same year as Popeye! Follow the account of a Yorkshire tyke as he reveals in quite vivid detail the life of a childhood in the ’30s, enduring all the gamut of childhood ailments and disease in a time before drugs, antibiotics, and the wonder of penicillin. He discusses life as a wartime evacuee, progressing with humorous anecdotes and drama into a challenging, action-filled life as a Grenadier Guardsman on active service and then a drummer to the Royal Household, with all the pomp and ceremony that was his lot. He also tells of the many royal and state occasions he was a part of. The final part of his working life was as a firefighter, with its many challenges, ending his career in the rank of divisional commander. This book is not the story of two men, but of one who, after a demanding life as a soldier, followed by a dangerous one as a firefighter, surely became twice the man he was.
