Wyndham Deedes. Brigadier General Sir Wyndham Henry Deedes,[1] CMG, DSO[2](10 March 1883 – 2 September 1956)[3] was a British Army officer and civil administrator.
He was the Chief secretary to the British High Commissioner of the British Mandate of Palestine. Early life[edit] Military career[edit] After the war he was posted to Istanbul, Turkey, as a military attaché. He was posted to Cairo, Egypt, which was at that time a British protectorate, as public security director.[17] Here he helped to set up the Palestine Police Force.[18] From 1920 to 1922, Deedes served as chief secretary to the then British High Commissioner Sir Herbert Samuel in Palestine.[17] Palestine was then under British mandate following the League of Nations decision in 1920 to hand it over to British control from 1923 onwards. Later life[edit] Upon returning to England, Deedes did not take up his heritage as a country squire, but moved to London and chose to do unpaid social work in one of the poorest quarters of the city.[5] Literary Connections: The First World War in Literature - materials for AQA A Level English Literature (LTA6 and new AS)

War Poetry: Ted Hughes: 'Bayonet Charge' I have already said my piece about the AQA GCSE poetry syllabus and what it calls the 'Conflict' cluster.
(I take 'cluster' to be the AQA's decorous abbreviation of a more accurate military term which, alas, cannot be used on a family-friendly blog.) Now I will do my best to help those unfortunates brought to this site in search of information about one particular poem: Ted Hughes's 'Bayonet Charge'. What follows is a set of loose notes. Anyone inclined to explore Hughes's treatment of war more generally can read my essay on that very subject here. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. AQA - Anthology Zone - Wilfred Owen.

30th Battalion: Australian War Memorial. The 30th Battalion was raised as part of the 8th Brigade at Liverpool in New South Wales on 5 August 1915.
Most of its recruits hailed from the Newcastle region and other parts of country New South Wales, but almost an entire company was composed of former RAN ratings from Victoria. The 8th Brigade joined the newly raised 5th Australian Division in Egypt and proceeded to France, destined for the Western Front, in June 1916. The 30th Battalion’s first major battle was at Fromelles on 19 July 1916. It was tasked with providing carrying parties for supplies and ammunition but was soon drawn into the vicious fighting.

The ability of posters to inspire, inform, and persuade combined with vibrant design trends in many of the participating countries to produce thousands of interesting visual works. The Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Division makes available online approximately 1,900 posters created between 1914 and 1920. Most relate directly to the war, but some German posters date from the post-war period and illustrate events such as the rise of Bolshevism and Communism, the 1919 General Assembly election and various plebiscites.
