Over nearly fifty years, the author has built up an extensive
collection of memorabilia from the First and Second World Wars. The
author gives talks to school and adult groups about the First World
War and Second World War Home Front using his collection to
illustrate these talks. This book looks at selected items from the
private collection, providing a narrative about the original
artefacts that also gives an insight into the life of the
individuals who owned them. Fragments Volume Two is intended as a
salute to those who survived the war on the Home Front and as a
memorial to those who did not.
A celebrity like no other, Henry Rollins initially made his mark as
the front man for the punk band Black Flag, and has since gone on
to a successful musical career with the Rollins Band, along with
spoken word performance tours, appearances in films, and the
creation of his own publishing company (2.13.61). He has remained
an uncompromising icon of American alternative culture, a man to
whom unrestrained expression is not just a career, but the reason
for living. Unlike nearly every other rock 'n' roll celebrity,
Rollins has avoided the usual wallowing in booze, orgies, and
medication in favor of pumping iron, performing constantly, writing
furious diatribes against complacency and passivity, and repeatedly
attempting to rip the scales from the eyes of a brainwashed
populace. His performances are karate chops of information,
thought-provoking and dangerous. Turned On is a look at the
circumstances, alliances, and conflicts that made Rollins the force
he is today. Biographer James Parker starts off in Washington DC,
birthplace of Henry Garfield, and chronicles the development of his
drive and rage. Parker shows how skinny skate-punk Garfield hooked
up with his favorite band, Black Flag, and remade himself as
part-animal, part-machine Henry Rollins. Parker examines at length
the punk scene of the early to mid-eighties, when Black Flag toured
with few breaks, going into towns where no punk band had ever been
and preparing the ears of the nation for the harsh new sound. A
historian of the punk movement as it migrated from London to New
York to Hollywood, Parker recreates the era, covering the bands,
the places they performed, and the riots over which they presided.
Interviews with cohorts, members of Black Flag, roadies, musicians,
film directors, and music professionals provide a multifaceted look
at Rollins. Above all, Parker examines Rollins' music, giving
informed reviews of the noise Rollins has brought to this world and
deciphering what the music says about the man. Turned On is the
story of Roll

This book charts the lives and service careers of the three
Muller-Rowland brothers who gave their lives for their country.
Between two of them they earned a DSO, two DFCs and two Bars, and a
King's Commendation for Valuable Services in the Air. All three
brothers flew low-level operations in three different theatres
during the Second World War. Eric and Stanley did not survive the
War, Stanley's twin went on to become a test pilot in 1948, still
the early days of jet aircraft. The risks were enormous, and he
realised that. Sadly, this was to cost him his life. "They were
three boys with a passion for flying that seems to have known no
bounds, a passion that they presumably shared with many of 'the
few'. It has been said of them that into their short lives they
packed more than many who live to old age." In addition to his
highly detailed research into the brothers' careers David also
draws upon the family's recollections of the boys.
