paragraph: Dorothy Farnum

paragraph: Dorothy Farnum (10 June 1900 – 27 January 1970) was an American screenwriter noted for her work at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer during the Silent era and later in Britain during the 1930s.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Farnum was educated in a convent boarding school. She mastered French history and literature and became fluent in Spanish and German.

paragraph: She acted in two movies released in 1915, "The Cub" and "Over Night", but she became famous for writing plays and novels and then turning them into screenplays. Her most popular screenplays were "The Temptress" (1926), "Sinner or Saint" (1923), and "Bardelys the Magnificent" (1926). "Beau Brummel" (1924) was very successful too. Most of her films were romantic dramas. When asked about her writing process, she remarked to the "Los Angeles Times" in 1926: “You must think with your heart and feel with your head. When I write my scenes I try hard to progress not from one thought to another, but from one feeling to another. For the majority of people want to have their hearts excited and their minds let alone when they come into the world of low lights and soft music of a motion-picture theater."

paragraph: She was a member of the Warner Bros. scenario department during this time, a large portion of her work focused solely on scenario adaptions. Dorothy worked with many famous, leading stars and was one of the top writers at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). She moved to Paris and then London, working for Gaumont British. She also worked at United Artists. It was reported by the "Washington Post" in 1927 that at her peak of her profession, her salary was $2,500 a week as a scenarist.

paragraph: She married Maurice Barber, the general manager of the Cinema Finance Company in 1923. Dorothy Farnum died on January 27, 1970 in North Andover, Massachusetts, United States.

paragraph: KATSU

paragraph: KATSU is a new media artist working in New York City. He works with technology, vandalism, and includes commentary on commercialism, privacy and digital culture. As a result, his work includes traditional graffiti, digital media, and conceptual artwork.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:AI portraiture.

paragraph: Exhibited as part of a 2017 solo show titled "AI Criminals", KATSU's portraiture series consists of a generative adversarial network built using Google's TensorFlow machine learning library and trained using vintage black and white mug shots scraped from the web, to output unique portraits. The pieces explore themes of inherent bias in algorithms, Wired Magazine notes that "there's more to AI portraits in KATSU's view, than just a comment on the growing power of technology—it's a warning about humanity's lack of control over what these tools can build".

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Drone painting.

paragraph: After experimentation with quadcopter drones and in collaboration with FAT Lab member, Becky Stern, KATSU developed a prototype mountable remote sprayer- the resultant device was dubbed the Graffiti Drone. A press release from The Hole Gallery the described the process of its refinement as testing with "weight of the paint, the straw for the sprayer, the sensor for the can activation, the flight of the drone and different paint and surfaces".

paragraph: Commenting on the significance of the work the artist explains that "drones are becoming this extension of human beings in the same way that we're growing so close to our smartphones and devices...It's really exciting to see and understand and think about what it means that many of the aesthetic decisions in these paintings are not my decisions. They're these collaborative decisions with this technology".

paragraph: On April 30, 2015 it was reported that KATSU had used his Graffiti Drone to vandalize a Soho billboard approximately six stories tall. A video of the Calvin Klein advertisement featuring model Kendall Jenner being defaced went viral on YouTube. Citing the quadcopter as "Graffiti Drone 1.0" the act was described as proof of concept demonstrating the potential that drones have to transform graffiti.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Dronescapes.

paragraph: "Dronescapes" are a series of abstract paintings created using the graffiti drone described as "robot-controlled versions of Impressionist paintings".

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Android selfies.

paragraph: "Android Selfies" are a triptych of monochrome oil paintings of a Series 800 Terminator Android taking selfies at Mount Rushmore, the Pyramids of Giza and the Moon.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Icarus One.

paragraph: Wired Magazine reported KATSU's plans to make the design for his graffiti drone Open Source, "so other artists can experiment with its possibilities". The plans for the Graffiti Drone, subsequently named ICARUS ONE were released on an independent website licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Shitheads.

paragraph: Shitheads is triptych of portraits of Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, and a Springer Spaniel dog created using the artist's feces as pigment. "Vice" magazine placed the piece in a lineage of artists using human waste in their work, calling Shitheads "the Digital Era's Piss Christ".

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Digital graffiti.

paragraph: Through his digital projects "KATSU easily dupes audiences while questioning the nuances that separate reality and fiction—he also looks at the notion that graffiti doesn't have to be a physical product, instead it can exist purely digitally".

paragraph: In 2010 two doctored videos of the artist surfaced on YouTube- the first showing KATSU tagging in front of the White House and the second, of him tagging Picasso's "Girl Before a Mirror" at the MoMA. Both brought widespread speculation about their authenticity and validity. In a later interview KATSU spoke of the videos saying the digital pieces "themselves are tags just in the form of video, and found on the internet" and were intended to "get graffiti writers to rethink the method[s] one could use in getting notoriety".

paragraph: Blending graffiti and digital technology, his film The Powers of KATSU, the title referencing Charles and Ray Eames classic film Powers of Ten, in which he reproduces his skull tag from the scale of 1/20 of an inch, a grain of rice, to 120 feet, a New York rooftop – and an image visible from Google Earth. The video was later shortlisted for the Guggenheim Museum's YouTube Play Show

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Fat Tag iPhone application.

paragraph: KATSU has previously collaborated with Graffiti Research Lab, a collective of technologists, artists and hackers. He is currently a research fellow at the Free Art and Technology Lab where, along with artist and programmer Theo Watson, he developed the iPhone app Fat Tag Graffiti Deluxe-KATSU Edition.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Phone Booth and Wild Posting campaigns.

paragraph: In April 2011 KATSU took over approximately 100 phone booths around New York City, replacing the advertisements with his own posters featuring celebrities and the logos of prominent corporations and institutions such as the MoMA and Apple.

paragraph: As part of a Free Art and Technology Lab exhibition at Eyebeam, in 2013 the artist executed a wild posting campaign in New York City featuring an image of Mark Zuckerberg, photoshopped with a black eye, around New York City. Later commenting on it, KATSU responded "We're at the fork in the road with the web. It is being understood as a fundamental part of our evolution as a species. There are some that are fighting to protect privacy, anonymity and freedom and those who are trying to control, monitor and make profits. I want to let people know my beliefs."

paragraph: Section::::Works.:MOCA Tag controversy and fire extinguisher graffiti.

paragraph: In April 2011, days before the opening of the show "Art in the Street" curated by Jeffrey Deitch, KATSU executed an extinguisher tag on the facade of The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. The show was already under media scrutiny for being a "thoroughly sanitized history of graffiti and street art" as a result the event received wide media attention with the original YouTube video of the piece going viral. KATSU has since said that the tag was an "attempt to test Jeffrey Deitch's motives". The piece was placed on a wall initially intended for Os Gêmeos but was later painted over, despite reported efforts by artists Neckface, Barry McGee and Shepard Fairey to leave it be for the duration of the event, to make room for a tribute to graffiti artist Blade. Katsu continued to experiment with the medium and in January 2013 several buildings around Detroit, MI were reported to have been vandalized with large scribbles that appeared to be made with paint and enamel filled fire extinguishers. These were attributed to him after three large "KATSU" tags carried out with similar customized fire extinguishers appeared in the area shortly after.

paragraph: KATSU also executed a fire extinguisher piece on the facade of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center as part of the F.A.T. GOLD retrospective.

paragraph: Working in collaboration with photographer Ari Marcopoulos KATSU took over a vacant lot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn creating a mixed media extinguisher piece. Produced by Art publisher Dashwood, Marcopoulos and KATSU released a book documenting the piece, 6–23 '13 – N6 Street – Brooklyn, in 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Participatory art.

paragraph: KATSU encourages the public to become participants and not just observers, by using his works as canvas for their own graffiti efforts.

paragraph: Bonnie McCarroll

paragraph: Bonnie McCarroll, born Mary Ellen "Dot" Treadwell (1897 – September 29, 1929), was a champion rodeo performer and bronc rider most remembered for her death at the Pendleton Round-up in Pendleton, Oregon. She also excelled in steer riding, bulldogging, and automobile jumping. In her riding career, McCarroll competed against such other women as Tad Lucas, Mabel Strickland, Fox Hastings, Dorothy Morrell (Robbins) and Florence Hughes.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: McCarroll was born on a cattle ranch at High Valley, near Boise, Idaho, in 1897. In her early career, she won two cowgirl bronc riding championships at both Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and the first rodeo hosted at Madison Square Garden in New York City. In 1915, her first year of rodeo competition, McCarroll attracted national attention from a photograph taken of her being thrown from the horse named "Silver" at the Pendleton Round-Up. In her career, she performed before kings, queens, such dignitaries as U.S. President Calvin Coolidge, while he was vacationing in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1927, and before countless rodeo fans worldwide. After her death, rodeo officials instituted safety regulations and eliminated bronc riding as a women's sport.

paragraph: Section::::Pendleton Round-Up.

paragraph: The Pendleton Round-Up of September 1929 was to have been McCarroll's final competition, for she had planned to retire with her husband, Frank Leo McCarroll (September 5, 1892–March 8, 1954), a bulldogging performer, to their home in Boise. While giving a bronc riding exhibition, she was suddenly thrown from her mount, "Black Cat". The animal turned a somersault upon her. She was rushed to a hospital but died later of her spinal wounds and pneumonia.

paragraph: Section::::Frank McCarroll.

paragraph: Frank McCarroll was born on a farm in Morris, Minnesota. He left home at thirteen, having drifted to North Dakota, Montana, and Idaho, where he became a boxer and wrestler. He also took a business course in Butte, Montana. In 1911, while in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, he wrestled his first steer and won a $1 bet. Soon in rodeo competition, he broke the world record for bulldogging in Boise in 1913, at which time he met the 16-year-old "Bonnie" Treadwell. Frank McCarroll won championships in steer wrestling at Pendleton twice, Chicago three times, Cheyenne once, Detroit once, St. Louis once, Fort Worth twice, and three times at Madison Square Garden. After Bonnie's death, he became involved as a stuntman and uncredited actor in such films as "The Man from Hell" and "Romance Revier". He died at the age of sixty-one from an accidental fall at his home in Burbank, California. Frank referred to Bonnie, who weighed from 95 to 112 pounds, as "the best little cook in the world and some dressmaker, too."

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In 2002, Bonnie McCarroll was posthumously inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Ann Ayres made a sculpture of McCarroll's 1915 horse-throwing accident at Pendleton. Many have mistaken her 1915 fall, photographed by Walter S. Bowman, with the fatal accident fourteen years later because both occurred at Pendleton.

paragraph: In 2001, McCarroll was inducted to the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Hall of Fame. In 2006, McCarroll was named to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth.

paragraph: Lizzie van Zyl

paragraph: Lizzie van Zyl (22 April 1894 – 9 May 1901) was a South African child inmate of the Bloemfontein concentration camp who died from typhoid fever during the Second Boer War.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Lizzie and her mother (Elizabeth Cecilia van Zyl) were inmates of the Bloemfontein concentration camp. They were labelled as 'undesirables', and placed on the lowest food rations because her father, Hermanus Egbert Pieter van Zyl, was still fighting the British.

paragraph: Activist Emily Hobhouse used her death as an example of the hardships the Boer women and children faced in the British concentration camps during the war. She describes Lizzie as "a frail, weak little child in desperate need of good care". Initially, the publishers of Hobhouse's reports refused to publish the photograph.

paragraph: Lizzie died in 1901 at seven years of age.

paragraph: Section::::Photo.

paragraph: The photo of the emaciated van Zyl reportedly was passed from British author Arthur Conan Doyle, who served as a volunteer doctor during the Boer War, to Joseph Chamberlain. Both Doyle and Chamberlain were ostensibly outspoken proponents of the Boer Wars, at least publicly; Doyle wrote a short work "The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct", that justified the war. The photo was used as propaganda, not as directly anti-war propaganda, but allegedly to convince the British public that Boer children were "neglected" by their parents.

paragraph: The image was released with the detail that it was taken when van Zyl and her mother entered the camp. Chamberlain was quoted in "The Times" on 5 March 1902, saying that Lizzie's mother was prosecuted for mistreatment.

paragraph: Emily Hobhouse investigated the case and was unable to find any evidence of a case or the prosecution of Lizzie's mother for neglect. She located the photographer, a man named Mr. de Klerk, who was also a camp inmate at the time, and de Klerk stated that the photograph was taken two months after Lizzie had arrived at the camp, not when they had just arrived.

paragraph: Matsudaira Mitsumichi

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mitsumichi was born in Edo in 1636 as the second son of Matsudaira Tadamasa. His childhood name was Manchiyomaru. He became "daimyō" of Fukui Domain on the death of his father in 1645. His Court rank was Senior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade and courtesy title was Chamberlain. His courtesy title was raised to "Sakonoue-gon-shōshō" in 1648.

paragraph: The Tokugawa shogunate took advantage of his youth to further reduce Fukui Domain in size by assigning 50,000 "koku" to his elder half-brother Masakatsu (childhood name Senkiku) to form Echizen-Matsuoka Domain, and 25,000 "koku" was given to his younger half-brother, Masachika (childhood name Tatsunosuke) to form Yoshie Domain. He underwent the "genpuku" ceremony in 1949, taking a "kanji" from the name of Shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu to become Matsudaira Mitsumichi. He was not permitted to leave Edo and visit his domain until 1653. During this period, and due to his youth, domainal affairs were overseen by senior retainers such as Honda Tomimasa, who had served the clan since the days of Yūki Hideyasu. However, as these men were all very elderly, they began dying one by one, and Mitsumichi was soon able to commence a policy of personal oversight in the domain's government.

paragraph: Mitsumichi was famous as a wise lord, and enacted many legal codes which helped improve his domain's foundation and its economy, including rules for retainers on promotion of the martial arts and the maintenance of weapons. He also encouraged education, bringing in Confucian scholars from Kyoto and establishing academies. He is noted for building the large Zen temple of Daian-ji in Fukui as a mortuary temple for the Echizen-Matsudaira clan in 1658..

paragraph: On the other hand, Fukui was continually beset by natural disasters, creating severe financial problems for the domain which would continue to plague it throughout its history. Mitsumichi, with permission of the shogunate, issued its own "hansatsu" in 1661, becoming the first domain to issue a paper currency. In 1669, Fukui Castle along with much of the surrounding castle town was destroyed in a fire, and the domain was forced to borrow 50,00 "ryō" from the shogunate for reconstruction. The donjon of the castle was never rebuilt due to lack of funds.

paragraph: Mitsumichi was married to his cousin, Kunihime (1636-1671), the daughter of Matsudaira Mitsunaga, "daimyō" of Takada Domain. Kunihime was a noted "waka" poet, and had been sought after in marriage by the "kuge" nobles of Kyoto; however, there was political opposition by the shogunate, which was leery of possible collusion between the two powerful Matsudaira domains. Her marriage to Mitsumichi was delayed until 1655, when both were already 19 years old - considerably late for the marriage of the legitimate wife of a "daimyō". Kunihime had two daughters (both of whom died in infancy), and although relations with Mitsumichi were apparently good, there was tremendous pressure to produce a male heir. Mitsumichi took a concubine, Lady Osan, by whom he had a son (Matsudaira Naokata) and a daughter. This created a rift between Fukui and Takada, as his father-in-law Matsudaira Mitsunaga insisted that any heir should be by the legitimate wife (i.e. his daughter). Unable to bear the pressure and uncertain that she would be able to have more children at the age of 35, Kunihime committed suicide in 1671. The shogunate bowed to Matsudaira Mitsunaga's request, and declared that Matsudaira Naokata would not be allowed to succeed to Fukui Domain and would be exiled to Ōno instead.

paragraph: All of these issues caused Mitsumichi to fall into severe depression. In 1674, he turned the domain over to his brother, Matsudaira Masachika, and committed suicide. His grave is at the temple of Daian-ji in Fukui which he created, and another grave was made at the clan's Edo temple of Kaian-ji in Shinagawa in 1877.

paragraph: Pierre Grégoire (also Pedro Gregoire, Petrus Gregorius Tholosanus) (c.1540–1597) was a French jurist and philosopher

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He was born at Toulouse around 1540. After studies at Toulouse, he became an advocate. From 1570 he was professeur of law at Cahors; in 1580 he returned to Toulouse in a similar post. In 1582 he was called by Charles III, Duke of Lorraine to found a law faculty at Pont-à-Mousson, the "École doctrinale de droit public". He died at Pont-à-Mousson.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: His "Syntaxes artis mirabilis" (1578) was an encyclopedic work on the sciences where magic and demonology were included with Astrology and mathematics. Grégoire is considered to be in the tradition of Raymond Lull. The work was placed on the "Index of Forbidden Books".

paragraph: In his "De Republica" he expresses political views in favour of monarchy, and uses the analogy of family and state. Although his faculty was dominated by Jesuits, Grégoire turned away from the policies of the Catholic League. A critic of Machiavelli and not a Gallican, he drew on both Jean Bodin and François Hotman, for an eclectic moderate Catholic position supporting the papal deposing power restricted to the Holy Roman Emperor, and the publication in France of the Tridentine decrees.

John Christopher Drumgoole (August 15, 1816 – March 28, 1888) was an Irish American Roman Catholic priest who was known for his work in caring for and educating orphaned and abandoned children in New York City, especially homeless newsboys. In 1883, he founded Mount Loretto, an orphanage and vocational school for boys in a then-rural section of Staten Island which later grew into a large complex that housed and educated thousands of boys and girls in more than a century of existence. As of 2015, the organization that Drumgoole founded continued to run programs that benefit needy children on a portion of the Mount Loretto property.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: John Drumgoole was born in Granard, County Longford, Ireland, on August 15, 1816. His father, a cobbler, died in 1822. John came to the United States at the age of 9 to join his mother, who had emigrated previously. His mother worked as a maid. John became a shoemaker to help support her. In 1844, he became sexton/janitor of St. Mary's, New York City's third Roman Catholic parish, founded in 1826 and located in the poor Lower East Side neighborhood. Drumgoole grew concerned for the many homeless and orphaned children who lived on the streets of New York City after the Great Famine in Ireland and then the American Civil War in the United States. For 21 years, he provided shelter for many of them in the basement of the church.

paragraph: Drumgoole became a United States citizen in 1838. He had long wished to enter the priesthood, but waited until provision could be made for his mother. In 1863, he commenced his studies, first at St. John's College in Rose Hill, and then at St. Francis Xavier's. He entered the Seminary of Our Lady of Angels, near Niagara Falls, in 1865. He was ordained 1869, aged 53.

paragraph: In 1871, he was placed in charge of the "Newsboys' Lodging House", a project of the St. Vincent de Paul Society located at 53 Warren Street in Manhattan. Under his leadership, this program expanded, and he soon found the building inadequate for the needs of his newsboy charges. Seeking funds to build a larger home for newsboys, he founded a new organization, the St. Joseph's Union, and began publishing "The Homeless Child and Messenger of St. Joseph's Union". People from all over the world purchased subscriptions to this publication for 25 cents per year and thereby became members of the union. It was with these funds that he was able to build a new mission house at the corner of Great Jones and Lafayette streets, which came to be known as the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin. The cornerstone of the Manhattan building was laid in 1879. The plot of land, which was previously occupied by a Protestant church, cost $70,000 and the building cost $160,000 to build. It was occupied by 1881.

paragraph: Though the building was designed to provide light and air to each resident so as to avoid the spread of influenza and tuberculosis, which was common in the tenements, Drumgoole came to feel that the general environment of the City at the time was not healthy for the younger children, so he sought out a more rural setting. In 1882, he purchased land on Staten Island and founded the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin at Mount Loretto, which he named as a tribute to the Sisters who accompanied him there to teach the children. Mount Loretto was designed to be a self-sufficient farm.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Father Drumgoole used to divide his time between the Mission's facilities in Manhattan and at Mount Loretto. On Sunday, March 11, 1888, he boarded a Staten Island Rapid Transit train at the Pleasant Plains station, very near the orphanage, and rode it to the ferry to Manhattan at St. George. Upon arriving, he found that no ferries were running because the Great Blizzard of 1888 had begun and was causing wind gusts that may have exceeded 80 miles per hour in some places. To return to Mount Loretto, he hired a horse and gig and drove through blizzard. Though he arrived safely, he soon developed a cold that later progressed to pneumonia, even though he continued to work. He collapsed on March 28, while preparing to say Mass at the Mission's building in Manhattan. Drumgoole's will left everything he had to the Mission.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Father Drumgoole was a hero of the newsboys who thronged the area when Park Row was the headquarters of New York City's major newspapers, including "The New York Times", and was considered an unofficial patron saint of the homeless, orphans, and the less fortunate. In 1894, a statue was erected in Fr. Drumgoole's honor at Lafayette Street, the site of the Manhattan Mission. It was later moved to Mount Loretto in 1920. The Mission of the Immaculate Virgin has been on its current site in the Pleasant Plains section of Staten Island since 1883. Mount Loretto, an orphanage for boys and later girls as well, was run by the mission for many years.

paragraph: In tribute to Fr. Drumgoole, several things were also named in his honor. Drumgoole Plaza, a New York City park, is named in his honor, as are the service roads (Drumgoole Road West/East) of the Korean War Veterans Parkway on Staten Island. In 1973, Public School 36 was named the J.C. Drumgoole School. The Catholic Church considers him a candidate for sainthood.

paragraph: George Onions

paragraph: George Onions VC (2 March 1883 – 2 April 1944) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

paragraph: Onions first served with the 3rd Hussars and was involved in the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916.

paragraph: Onions was 35 years old, and a Lance-Corporal in the 1st Battalion, The Devonshire Regiment, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

paragraph: On the foggy morning of 22 August 1918, south of Achiet-le-Petit, France, Lance-Corporal Onions was sent out with Private Henry Eades to reconnoitre the area in front of his unit's position. They saw the enemy advancing in large numbers and, seizing the opportunity, they boldly placed themselves on the flank of the advancing enemy and opened fire. When the enemy were about 100 yards from them the line wavered and some hands were thrown up, whereupon the lance-corporal rushed forward and helped by his comrade, took about 200 of the enemy prisoners and marched them back to his company commander.

paragraph: Private Eades was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal but died of wounds that he received only a few days later.

paragraph: He was later commissioned into the Rifle Brigade. After World War I, Onions served in the Auxiliary Division of the Royal Irish Constabulary. In 1939 he was commissioned a Captain in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment for National Defence, but resigned his commission in 1941.

paragraph: His Victoria Cross is displayed at The Keep Military Museum, Dorchester, Dorset, England.

paragraph: James Welch VC (7 July 1889 – 28 June 1978) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

paragraph: James Welch was born at Stratfield Saye. He was 27 years old, and a lance corporal in the 1st Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment (Princess Charlotte of Wales's), British Army during the First World War when he performed the actions for which he was awarded the VC.

paragraph: On 29 April 1917 near Oppy, France, Lance-Corporal Welch entered an enemy trench and killed one man after a severe hand-to-hand struggle. Then, armed only with an empty revolver, he chased four enemies across the open and captured them single-handedly. He handled his machine-gun with the utmost fearlessness, and more than once went into the open, exposed to heavy fire, to search for and collect ammunition and spare parts in order to keep his guns in action, which he succeeded in doing for over five hours, until wounded by a shell.

paragraph: He later achieved the rank of sergeant. He died on 28 June 1978 at Bournemouth and was cremated. His Victoria Cross is displayed at The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment (Salisbury) Museum, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.

paragraph: Frederick Whirlpool

paragraph: Frederick Whirlpool VC (1831 – 24 June 1899) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. In his later life, Whirlpool migrated to Australia; as a result, he is sometimes claimed as an Australian VC recipient although his name is not included in the official count.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and military career.

paragraph: For many years he was believed to have been born as "Frederick Conker" in Liverpool, in either 1829 or 1830, and some sources state that he was born in London. However, in his 2018 book Allen Leek provided evidence that he was born on 17 July 1831 in County Carlow, in Ireland. His early childhood, was spent in Ireland where he most probably attended the Dundalk Institute an Irish Protestant school. Upon completion of his education he found himself working as a clerk for the Dundalk Poor Law Union, a job that he hated. Following an argument with his father, he left Ireland to enlist in the army of the East India Company.

paragraph: Upon enlistment he assumed the name of Frederick Whirlpool, which he later explained was due to his father's characterisation of his temper. He arrived in Bombay in 1855 and joined the 3rd Bombay European Regiment (later The Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment). Although he was assigned the role of an assistant schoolmaster, in early April 1858, during the Indian Mutiny, Whirlpool's regiment was sent to Jhansi, to recapture it from mutineers who had taken it the previous year. Whirlpool subsequently found himself in the thick of the fighting.

paragraph: Over the course of a month Whirlpool distinguished himself to his superiors on a number of occasions. The first instance came in early April when, during the fighting in Jhansi, braving heavy fire and at great personal risk he rescued two wounded men who had fallen in the open. Later, in May, during an assault on Lohari, he single-handedly defended a wounded subaltern who had fallen in the open and subsequently been surrounded by enemy soldiers. For his actions during this time, Whirlpool was nominated for the Victoria Cross, the British military's highest decoration for gallantry. The award was announced in the "London Gazette" on 21 October 1859, which stated the following:

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After the action for which Whirlpool later received the Victoria Cross, he was hospitalised in Jhansi. Surviving despite considerable odds, he was considered too injured to remain in the military and as a result was discharged prior to receiving his award. He was granted a pension and subsequently migrated to Australia. In 1859 he landed in Victoria and he began looking for work. He was employed briefly as a school teacher, and he applied unsuccessfully to join the police. Later he joined the Hawthorne and Kew Volunteer Rifles, assuming a different name. Eventually a drill instructor discovered who he was and in June 1861, in front of 2,000 people, in the uniform of his new regiment, Whirlpool reluctantly received his medal.

paragraph: Later, after turning down a job offer to join the police, Whirlpool changed his name to Humphrey James and moved to Tasmania. By 1865, however, he had moved to Sydney. Keeping his identity secret, he undertook a teachers training course and then began working at a school near Wisemans Ferry. Still plagued by his injuries, and although considered to be a good teacher, he had a drinking problem, though for long periods a teetotaller, circumstances would have him lapse into a drinking binge, and this eventually led to him being dismissed from the state school system (he continued to teach in private schools and as a tutor).

paragraph: Following this, Whirlpool became a "hermit" and moved to Windsor, although he continued to draw his pension. In the final part of his life, Whirlpool confided his true identity to a grocer called Smith, who allowed him to live on his property for a time and supported him by giving him free groceries. When Whirlpool died on 24 June 1899, Smith assumed the role of executor of Whirlpool's estate, arranging for him to be buried in a Presbyterian churchyard. Whirlpool had been so reclusive in his final years that Smith was the only attendee at the funeral.

paragraph: Section::::The medal.

paragraph: The presentation of Whirlpool's medal, on 20 June 1861, was the first public presentation in Australia of a Victoria Cross. The medal was presented to him by Lady Barkly, the wife of Sir Henry Barkly, KCB, the governor of Victoria at that time. His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Australian War Memorial (AWM) in Canberra, Australia.

paragraph: The medal has not always been on display in the AWM, though, and the story of its acquisition is of itself indicative of the debate about Whirlpool's national identity and the reluctance of Australians to consider the role of the British in the nation's early military history. Where the medal went initially after Whirlpool's death is unknown. There is speculation that it might have been kept by Smith, or that Smith sent it to Whirlpool's brother in the United States; however, by the 1950s it was in the possession of a medal dealer in London. It was then purchased by Denys Croll, an Irish school teacher working in Australia. Croll subsequently offered to donate the medal to the AWM in the early 1960s but was turned down as it was initially felt that it did not belong in their collection because "Whirlpool wasn't Australian".

paragraph: The Mitchell Library in Sydney offered to display it but Croll died before this could be affected. Croll's widow subsequently offered to loan the medal and in the mid-1960s one of the AWM's curators, Peter Burness, argued that Whirlpool was Australian and sought to acquire it for a new section of the memorial dedicated to Victoria Cross recipients. Nevertheless, the debate about the appropriate characterisation of Whirlpool's nationality continued to affect the way the award was presented in the memorial for a number of decades. This lasted until the mid-1980s when Whirlpool's integration into the story of Australia's pre-World War I military history seemingly came into acceptance when he was included in the second edition of Wigmore and Harding's "They Dared Mightily", in which although he was not included in the official count of 96 Australian recipients he was characterised as an Australian recipient of the award, albeit one who had not served in the Australian forces and who had been born elsewhere.

paragraph: David Soslan

paragraph: David Soslan () (died 1207) was a prince from Alania and second husband of Queen Tamar, whom he married in c. 1189. He is chiefly known for his military exploits during Georgia's wars against its Muslim neighbors.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: David Soslan was a member of the royal house which ruled Alania (Ovseti or Oseti in the Georgian sources; hence, the modern designation of Ossetia), an Orthodox Christian kingdom in the North Caucasus, and frequently intermarried with the Bagrationi dynasty of Georgia. An anonymous chronicler, writing during the reign of George IV Lasha (son of Tamar and David Soslan; 1212–1223), ascribes to Soslan a Bagratid ancestry. A version of his Bagratid origin found further development in the works of the 18th-century Georgian scholar Prince Vakhushti Bagrationi: He considered Soslan to be a descendant of George I of Georgia (1014–1027) and his Alan wife Alde who were the parents of Demetrius (Demetre), an unfortunate pretender to the Georgian crown whose son, David, was forced by Bagrat IV of Georgia to flee to Alania. According to Vakhushti, David and his descendants - Aton and Jadaron - married into the Alan ruling family and became "kings of the Osi" ["i.e"., Alans]. This Jadaron is said to have been Soslan's father. While this account is considered credible by the modern scholars such as Mariam Lordkipanidze and Cyril Toumanoff the issue of Soslan's origin still remains uncertain.

paragraph: A passage from the 13th-century anonymous Georgian "Histories and Eulogies of Sovereigns" relates that David was under the patronage of Tamar's paternal aunt Rusudan and came of "the descendants [ძენი; literally, "sons"] of Ephraïm, which are Osi, handsome and strong in battle." The Georgian scholar Korneli Kekelidze suggested that David Soslan's family – the "Ephraïmids" – might have claimed descent from the biblical Ephraim, and compared this family legend to that of the Bagratids who considered themselves descendants of David, the second king of the Israelites.

paragraph: In 1946, the North Ossetian archaeologist Evgeniya Pchelina announced that, during the digs at the Nuzal chapel in the Ardon Gorge, North Ossetian ASSR, she discovered the tomb allegedly belonging to David Soslan whom she identified with the certain Soslan mentioned in the Georgian asomtavruli inscription in the chapel, and suggested that David Soslan might have been a member of the Tsarazon family (), a heroic clan from Nuzal known to the Ossetic oral folk tradition. The hypothesis has not been accepted by most Georgian scholars, but enjoys much currency among the Ossetian historians.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: Tamar married David Soslan at the Didube Palace near Tbilisi between 1187 and 1189 after she divorced her first husband, the Rus' prince Yuri Bogolyubsky. As the Armenian chronicler Mkhitar Gosh reports in his "Ishatarakan" ("Memorabilia"), Tamar "married a man from the Alan kingdom, her relative on the mother’s side, whose name was Soslan, named David upon his ascension to the [Georgian] throne".

paragraph: In contrast to Yuri who was a candidate of the powerful nobles party, David was Tamar's personal choice. David, a capable military commander, became Tamar's major supporter and was instrumental in defeating the rebellious nobles rallied behind Yuri. Tamar and David had two children. In 1191, the queen gave birth to a son, George – the future king George IV (Lasha) – an event widely celebrated in the kingdom. The daughter, Rusudan, was born c. 1193 and would succeed her brother as sovereign of Georgia.

paragraph: David Soslan's status as Tamar's husband, as well as his presence in art, on charters and on coins, was strictly dictated by the necessity of male aspects of kingship, but he remained a subordinate ruler who shared the throne with Tamar but had no independent authority, his power being derived from his reigning spouse.

paragraph: David energetically supported Tamar's expansionist policy and was responsible for Georgia's military successes in a series of conflicts of those years. Medieval Georgian sources praise his handsomeness, military talents, valor, and devotion to Tamar. In the 1190s, David Soslan led the Georgian raids against Barda, Erzurum, Geghark'unik', Beylaqan and Ganja. His victories over the Ildegizids of Azerbaijan at Shamkor (1195) and the Seljuqids of Rüm at Basian (1202) secured the Georgian positions in the eastern and western Caucasian marches, respectively. He died shortly thereafter, c. 1207.
