A re-discovery of another significant burial in our cemeteries by FoBLC World War’s research member.

I see online Wikipedia (encyclopaedia) has complimentary details on this very interesting artist/poet.

David Jones’s reference to the eccentric Eric Gill focused my own remembered training as an art teacher when my art tutor at Canterbury Art College constantly quoted Eric Gill in 1961+.

Many Thanks Mike.

Two people matching Jane and Edmunds description were seen on Crooms Hill, and walking down Kidbrooke Lane which is about 1.5 miles away.

Morden College in Saint Germans Place is less than a mile from the crime scene....

Charlotte Trott, Janes cousin who she was staying with also mentioned that Jane had told her she was meeting Edmund near Crooms Hill..

Have you even read the court transcripts? They are a joke and the lack of evidence was why he was found not guilty as well as police incompetance.

Oh and the spelling is CLOUSON not COULSON.

...I meant to ask, also, whether there are 'FoBLC' children (or any tiny-tots associated) who would like to 'MAKE LATTERNS' for the occasion. There is to be a workshop ‘Lantern Making’ prior to event, which needs children to make them and proceed with them beautifully lit at the event. Venue for ‘lantern making workshop’ to be announced shortly.

'Reading the runes' today at Mr. Lawrence indicates that a very propitious remembrance event is to take place. So much so, that both cemeteries and prospective entrances are to be allowed accessible usage.

2009-10-26T11:14:28.250Z

At time of commenting here we still await 'cemetery team' confirmation as to whether both entrances will be opened for event. 'Reading the runes' it appears likely now that Ladywell gate, only, will be accessible with event allowed to take place within smaller defined area up to Ladywell Cemetery chapel and not beyond into Brockley Cemetery as was originally envisaged.

Good work! The leaves from my London Plane tree take about 7 years to break down into smthg resembling leaf mould - I suspect I'm doing something wrong! Do these get turned into leaf mould by Envirowork Lewisham at Brockley Grove depot?

2009-10-19T00:08:40.649+01:00

Re: 'Memorial Production: There may be intimations Lewisham Council is only to allow a small section of Ladywell Cemetery to be utilised. I hope this is not so. Otherwise, the creative impact would be wholly diminished. Far better, as I hope, a contrast of the two (twinned) cemeteries may be accessible via both entrance gates with the individuality of Ladywell’s openness and adjacent Brockley’s wooded ambiance all through lit with creative memoriam.

Spincat, there is research into David Jones indeed thanks to David Platt who highlighted him to me.

This link will be very useful

What a remarkable event it will be.

I was wondering if there are plans to include something about - or readings from work of - David Jones, who is buried in the cemetery.

2009-10-10T11:26:53.643+01:00

Thank you for this all so quickly. Anon how did you come across this letter? We are interested in as many people contributing to this event as possible, including needing loads of volunteers on the night as marshals.

In the next few days we are going to set up a way of contact via Brockley Max website.

Initially we want teachers, community projects that may have interest in attending the event with users and other blogs, newssheets, bulletin boards, media etc from across London to let their readers know of the event. Those buried have connections across the city and the world. Does anyone have a high knowledge of Australasian poetry from this time? There are three Australians buried together on the route of the walk. We are also interested in expertise in other nations poetry.

We would like people to make this blog an historical record. We are interested in stories, research, links and personal impact of WWI. Please remember people will be reading this who still carry a personal grief from this time and it is not for views on war in general.

This is a local event to recognise a terrible world event – please join in from wherever you are.

The title, ‘Up the line’ was in general usage in the trenches.

Thanks

I see there's a small 'dividers and setsquare' symbol on the tableture. Does that suggest Freemasonry within the family? Do the Freemasons retain archives of 'their own' that could be accessed for further research?

2009-07-13T07:21:19.355+01:00

This story about Edmund Walter POOK being the person responsible for the death of Jane Marie COULSON, is full of inaccuracies. If one is really interested in the truth, then they should do their own research of the facts in this case. Edmund Walter POOK was acquitted by a jury, in a court of law, following extensive examination of the forensic evidence and examination of many witnesses. It's really annoying to see these falsehoods about Edmund Walter POOK being promulgated on the Internet, so long after this horrible crime and after his formal acquittal.
