paragraph: Section::::Details.

paragraph: On 9 April 1917, the British XXI Corps was on the coastal sector of Palestine just north of Jaffa with the 75th Division on the right of the corps. The British planned an operation which in several stages would capture Tulkarm. The 75th Division launched a preliminary attack at 0510 hours on 9 April and met fierce resistance. On 10 April, in the fighting at El Kefr, Palestine, Rifleman Karanbahadur Rana, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles, 75th Division, was awarded the Victoria Cross for most conspicuous bravery. The citation published on 21 June 1918 stated:

paragraph: The unit, date and place of VC actions were not gazetted from 1916 until 11 November 1918. These details were gazetted on 31 March 1919 when Karanbahadur Rana was listed with the '2/3rd Q.A.O. Gurkha Rif.’, the date ‘10.4.18’ and place ‘El Kefr’. The gazette incorrectly stated El Kefr was in Egypt. It is in Palestine. In silencing the enemy machine-gun, Karanbahadur Rana, enabled his company commander, Lieutenant Frederick Barter, who had been lying within 30 yards of the machine gun for five and a half hours to withdraw. As a company sergeant-major with The Royal Welch Fusiliers, Lieutenant Barter had been awarded the Victoria Cross for conspicuous bravery at Festubert, France, on 16 May 1915.

paragraph: Bernard McQuirt

paragraph: Bernard McQuirt VC (1829 – 5 October 1888) was born in Donaghcloney near Lurgan, County Armagh and was an Irish 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: Section::::Details.

paragraph: He was about 29 years old, and a private in the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot (later The Sherwood Foresters (The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment) ), British Army during the Indian Mutiny when the following deed took place on 6 January 1858 at the capture of the town of Rowa, India for which he was awarded the VC:

paragraph: Section::::Burial.

paragraph: McQuirt's memorial stone was erected in 1995 in an Anglican graveyard in Donaghcloney, where McQuirt was born. But his remains are not in this graveyard. McQuirt died in Erney Street off the Shankill Road, Belfast, 5 October 1888, and no one knew where he was buried. In 1993, an employee of Belfast City Council, Robert Burns, found McQuirt's registration and burial site in a Catholic plot of the Belfast City Cemetery. As there was no gravestone Burns contacted the Sherwood Foresters Museum in England and they proposed to pay for a stone. When Burns asked for permission to erect the stone in the graveyard the Catholic Church refused permission, claiming the plot was a poor plot with many other remains in the grave.

paragraph: Bernard lived in obscurity at 72 Urney Street. Robert then approached the City Council for permission to erect the memorial stone on a wall in Urney Street (off Shankill Road) were Bernard McQuirt VC died in 1888. This was also rejected. Then Robert approached locals from Donaghcloney to erect the memorial stone in the local village square beside the World War I and World War II war memorial. This was also rejected. Finally a local Church of Ireland Minister offered Burns access to the local Donaghcloney Church graveyard to erect the memorial stone.

paragraph: In 2000 a British Army colour party from a regiment based in Northern Ireland finally dedicated the stone in memory of Bernard McQuirt VC. The inscription on the stone states:br

paragraph: "Sacred to the memory of Private Bernard McQuirt VC 95th The Derbyshire Regiment who won the regiment's first VC at ROWA CENTRAL INDIA 6th January 1858 he died 5 October 1888 "NINETY - FIVE""

paragraph: John Divane

paragraph: John Divane (VC) (Also known as Devine and Duane) (November 1823 – 1 December 1888) was an Irish 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: Section::::Details.

paragraph: He was approximately 34 years old, and a private in the 1st Battalion, 60th Rifles (later The King's Royal Rifle Corps), British Army during the Indian Mutiny when the following deed took place on 10 September 1857 at Delhi, India for which he was awarded the VC:

paragraph: Section::::Further information.

paragraph: He was born in Carrabane, County Galway and died at 1 New Street, Penzance, Cornwall on 1 December 1888 and, was buried in an unmarked grave in Penzance cemetery. A headstone was installed in 1995 during a ceremony attended by Field Marshal Lord Bramall and in 2015 a plaque was unveiled at 35 New Street, Penzance.

paragraph: Apparently only semi-literate, Duane put 'the tail' on the wrong side of his 'u' on his signature, which led to confusion about the correct spelling of his surname in official records. Duane is one of several soldiers from Carrabane (modern Kilconierin-Lickerrig-Clostoken parish) to fight with distinction in theatres of war throughout the nineteenth century.

paragraph: Geri Hall

paragraph: Geri Hall (born May 2, 1972 in Oakville, Ontario) is a Canadian actress and comedian.

paragraph: She has appeared on the CBC's "This Hour has 22 Minutes" in October and November 2004, March 2007 and became a permanent cast anchor in October 2007. Other appearances include the Rick Mercer Report and numerous television commercials. She wrote the Gemini Award-nominated "To Die 4." She is known for her distinctive voice. She has appeared in "The Blobheads" on CBC.

paragraph: Geri Hall is also known for her attempt to interview Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the CBC comedy series "22 Minutes" during the 2008 federal election campaign in Halifax, Nova Scotia on September 12, 2008. Hall, who was in character as "Single Female Voter", was restrained by security and later taken away in handcuffs. She was not arrested and instead got an exclusive interview with Harper, who said he had never watched "22 Minutes", and asked Hall: "Do you like handcuffs?"

paragraph: Hall did a similar stunt on March 4, 2009 when she attempted to poke fun at Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty's new rule requiring reporters to stand five feet back. It was poorly received due to Hall attempting it in the middle of questions on U.S. Steel's decision to shut down several mills. New Democrat MPP Peter Kormos was visibly angry and yelled at Hall to "Get the hell out of here". Kormos later said "The timing of it was totally inappropriate, you've got a press gallery trying to hold the premier accountable when a few thousand workers just lost their jobs." McGuinty's office said Hall's timing showed a "lack of judgment". "22 Minutes" executive producer Mark Farrell defended Hall and claims Hall wouldn't have known what McGuinty was speaking about beforehand. Farrell says she was doing what she always does (and what former "22 Minutes" co-host Mary Walsh did before her) — waiting for a signal from organizers that the session was about to wrap up. "We always try to get in at the last question."

paragraph: Maccus mac Arailt

paragraph: Maccus mac Arailt (fl. 971–974) was a tenth-century King of the Isles. Although his parentage is uncertain, surviving evidence suggests that he was the son of Aralt mac Sitriuc, King of Limerick. Maccus' family is known as the Meic Arailt kindred. He and his brother, Gofraid, are first recorded in the 970s. It was during this decade and the next that they conducted military operations against the Welsh of Anglesey, apparently taking advantage of dynastic strife within the Kingdom of Gwynedd.

paragraph: The Meic Arailt violence during this period could account for Maccus' participation in a royal assembly convened by Edgar, King of the English. Maccus may have been regarded as a potential threat by not only the English and Welsh kings, but also the rulers of the Kingdom of Strathclyde. Perhaps as a conseuqnece of this convention, the Meic Arailt thereafter turned their attention to Ireland. In 974, Maccus defeated and captured Ímar, King of Limerick. Gofraid resumed the family's campaigning against the Welsh before the end of the decade. In 984, the Meic Arailt appear to have formed an alliance with the family of Brian mac Cennétig, King of Munster. Whether Maccus was alive by this date is unknown. He does not appear on record after this date, and seems to have been succeeded by his brother. Gofraid is the first King of the Isles to be identified as such by Irish sources.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Maccus was a member of the Meic Arailt kindred, although his exact parentage is uncertain. Surviving evidence suggests that Maccus' father was probably Aralt mac Sitriuc, King of Limerick. Such a relationship would mean that Maccus was a member of the Uí Ímair. Alternate possibilities—lacking specific evidence—are that Maccus was a son of Hagrold, a Danish warlord active in Normandy; or a son of Haraldr Gormsson, King of Denmark.

paragraph: Maccus appears to have been an elder brother of Gofraid mac Arailt. A sister of Maccus and Gofraid, or perhaps a daughter of the latter, may have been Máel Muire, wife of Gilla Pátraic mac Donnchada, King of Osraige. Specific evidence of a familial relationship between Máel Muire and the Meic Arailt may be preserved by the twelfth-century "Banshenchas", a source that identifies the mother of Gilla Pátraic's son, Donnchad, as Máel Muire, daughter of a certain Aralt mac Gofraid. One possibility is that this source has erroneously reversed the patronym of Maccus' brother. Another brother of Maccus may have been Eiríkr Haraldsson, a Viking who ruled the Kingdom of Northumbria in the mid part of the tenth century. Although non-contemporary Scandinavian sources identify this figure with the like-named Norwegian royal Eiríkr blóðøx, there is reason to suspect that these sources have erroneously conflated two different individuals, and that the former was a member of the insular Uí Ímair.

paragraph: There is uncertainty surrounding Maccus' name. Although the nineteenth-century edition of the seventeenth-century "Annals of the Four Masters" refers to him as ', suggesting that the Gaelic ' is a form of the Old Norse '—itself a borrowing of the Latin '—the oldest manuscript forms of this source show that the recorded name was actually an abbreviated form of "Maccus". Besides this mistranscription, Maccus is not accorded the name "" by any historical source, and his name is unlikely to refer to it. Maccus' name may instead by of Gaelic origin.

paragraph: Section::::Irruption into the Irish Sea region.

paragraph: The Meic Arailt first appear on record in the Irish Sea in the 970s. The power of family seems to have been centred in the Isles, and may have been based upon control of the important trade routes through the Irish Sea region. If the Meic Arailt were indeed centred in the Hebrides, the family's apparent ambition to secure control of Mann could account for its campaigning against the Welsh on Anglesey. The latter island was the traditional seat of the kings of Gwynedd, and control of it may have been sought by the Meic Arailt as a way to further ensure the control of the surrounding sea-lanes.

paragraph: According to the "B" version of the eleventh- to thirteenth-century "Annales Cambriæ", an unidentified son of Aralt wasted this island off the north-west Welsh coast. The thirteenth- and fourteenth-century texts "Brut y Tywysogyon" and "Brenhinedd y Saesson" corroborate this record and identify the attacker as Maccus himself. Maccus' assault targeted Penmon on the eastern coast of the island. Several near-contemporary engraved crosses at Penmon indicate that it was a significant ecclesiastical site with important patrons. Both "Brut y Tywysogyon" and "Brenhinedd y Saesson" further reveal that Gofraid attacked Anglesey the next year, and thereby brought the island under his control. At the time of the Meic Arailt kindred's attacks, the Kingdom of Gwynedd was in the midst of vicious civil war triggered by death of Rhodri ab Idwal Foel, King of Gwynedd in 969, a fact which could indicate that the Meic Arailt purposely sought to capitalise on this infighting.

paragraph: Section::::Amongst an assembly of kings.

paragraph: There is evidence indicating that Maccus was amongst the assembled kings who are recorded to have met with Edgar, King of the English at Chester in 973. According to the "D", "E", and "F" versions of the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle", after having been consecrated king that year, this English monarch assembled a massive naval force and met with six kings at Chester. By the tenth century, the number of kings who met with him was alleged to have been eight, as evidenced by the tenth-century "Life of St Swithun". By the twelfth century, the eight kings began to be named and were alleged to have rowed Edgar down the River Dee, as evidenced by sources such as the twelfth-century texts "Chronicon ex chronicis", "Gesta regum Anglorum", and "De primo Saxonum adventu", as well as the thirteenth-century "Chronica majora", and both the Wendover and Paris versions of "Flores historiarum".

paragraph: Whilst one of the named kings appears to have been Maccus himself, a certain other—named ' by "Gesta regum Anglorum", and ' by "Chronicon ex chronicis"—could have been Gofraid. "Gesta regum Anglorum" describes Maccus as ' ("prince of the pirates" or "pirate king"), whilst "Chronicon ex chronicis", "De primo Saxonum adventu", and the twelfth- to thirteenth-century "Chronicle of Melrose" (which also notes the assembly) call him ' ("king of many islands" or "king of very many islands"). The titles associated with Maccus appear to relate to a similar one—"" ("king of many islands")—earlier accorded to Amlaíb mac Gofraid, King of Dublin by "Chronicon ex chronicis".

paragraph: The precise reasons for Edgar's assembly are uncertain. It came on the heels of a royal crowning ceremony at Bath, and could have been orchestrated as a way to project imperial authority over Edgar's neighours. With a grand show of force, Edgar may have sought to demonstrate this authority, and thereby resolve certain outstanding issues with his neighbouring rulers. There is reason to suspect that the upsurge in Viking activity in the 960s/970s, and the emergence of the Meic Arailt in the region, may have factored in Edgar's machinations. Specifically, one aspect of the assembly may have concerned the ongoing warring between the Meic Arailt and the Welsh. Such conflict could have posed a significant threat to the English trade routes in the region, and Edgar may have sought an understanding with Maccus to ensure the safety of important sea-lanes shared with the Islesmen. The threat of international collusion could have also factored into Edgar's assembly. One possibility is that he may have acted to ensure that the Islesmen would not be tempted to lend support to dicontented elements in the English Danelaw. It is also conceivable that the assembly could have concerned the remarkable rising power of Amlaíb Cúarán in Ireland. Edgar may have moved to resolve the strife between the Meic Arailt and the Welsh as a way to limit the prospect of any encroachment by Amlaíb Cúarán into the Irish Sea region. This reigning King of Dublin was a leading member of the Uí Ímair, and may have been a rival to the Meic Arailt. By easing tensions between the Meic Arailt and the Welsh, Edgar could have sought to gain their allegiance against Amlaíb Cúarán's ambitions of authority in the area, and further offset any attempt by Amlaíb Cúarán to attain an alliance with the Scots and Cumbrians against the English.

paragraph: The fact that "Brenhinedd y Saesson" reports that Gofraid subdued Anglesey and placed it under tribute could indicate that the Meic Arailt were attempting to establish themselves in Britain, and could indicate that the Meic Arailt participated in the assembly in this context. If Maccus was in possession of Mann in the 970s the record of Edgar's assembled fleet could have been a response to perceived threat that Maccus posed. As such, the episode could well be an example of tenth-century gunboat diplomacy. Other royal attendees of the summit meeting appear to have been Dyfnwal ab Owain, and Dyfnwal's son Máel Coluim, men who represented the Cumbrian Kingdom of Strathclyde. It is probable that the power of the Meic Arailt posed a serious threat to the rulers of this northern British realm, and may explain their own part in the assembly. One possible result of the conference is that Edgar recognised Maccus' lordship in the Isles in return for his acceptance of English overlordship. Although Maccus appears as a witness in two alleged royal charters of Edgar, these appear to be forgeries.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: Whatever the reasons behind the assembly, the Meic Arailt violence in the region was temporarily abated—perhaps as a consequence of the conference—and the kindred turned its attention westwards towards Ireland.

paragraph: In 974, the eleventh- to fourteenth-century "Annals of Inisfallen" and the "Annals of the Four Masters" reveal that Maccus—accompanied by the "" ("lawmen") of the Isles—attacked Scattery Island and captured Ímar, King of Limerick. Ímar appears to have gained the kingship of Limerick in the 960s. If Maccus was indeed a son of Aralt, Maccus' move against Ímar in 974 would appear to corroborate this kinship. For instance, Maccus' attack could have been undertaken in the context of regaining what he regarded as his patrimony, since Ímar's accession in Limerick was conceivably accomplished at the expense of Aralt's progeny.

paragraph: It is possible that Ímar was in control of Limerick in 969, and may have controlled the town in 972, when the Munstermen are recorded to have expelled the Viking ruling elite. If correct, Ímar's return to power could explain the Meic Arailt kindred's actions against him. Maccus may have ransomed Ímar to the Limerickmen, or Ímar may have escaped his captors. Certainly the "Annals of Inisfallen" reports that Ímar "escaped over sea" the following year. In any event, Ímar next appears on record three years later when he and his two sons were slain by Brian mac Cennétig, King of Munster. In 967, Brian's brother, Mathgamain mac Cennétig, is reported to have attacked Limerick. If the twelfth-century "Cogad Gáedel re Gallaib" is to be believed, Ímar played a role in slaying of Mathgamain the year before his own death at Brian's hands. Therefore, the latter's family shared a common enemy with the Meic Arailt in the person of Ímar.

paragraph: The record of Maccus' attack is the second such notice of ' in the Isles. Earlier in 962, the "Annals of the Four Masters" reports that the ' and the Meic Amlaíb—seemingly the descendants of Amlaíb mac Gofraid—attacked several sites in Ireland. Such lawmen appear to have been elective representatives from the Hebrides, and these annal-entries could be evidence that leading figures in the Irish Sea region received formal support from the Hebrides. Following Maccus' campaigning against Ímar, nothing is recorded of the Meic Arailt until the 980s. In 984, the "Annals of Inisfallen" reports that the Meic Arailt contracted an alliance with Brian's family, and exchanged hostages with them in an apparent agreement pertaining to military cooperation against the Kingdom of Dublin. This compact seems to indicate that Brian's family sought to align the Vikings of the Isles against those of Dublin.

paragraph: Maccus' brother eventually resumed the Meic Arailt attacks upon the Welsh. According to the Peniarth version of "Brut y Tywysogyon", a certain ""—a man who may be identical to Gofraid—ravaged Llŷn in 978. The "Red Book of Hergest" version of "Brut y Tywysogyon" reports that Gofraid, along with the exiled Venedotian prince Custennin ab Iago, ravaged Llŷn and Anglesey in 980. The date of Maccus' death is unknown. Since he does not appear on record again, it is possible that he was dead by this date, and that Gofraid had succeeded him in the Isles. On the other hand, the record of the Meic Arailt assisting Brian's family in 984 could be evidence that Maccus was yet still active. In any case, Maccus is certainly unrecorded after 984. Gofraid's campaigning on Anglesey suggests that whatever authority the Meic Arailt gained over the Welsh in the 970s was only temporary. The fact that there is no record of Viking activity against the island between 972 and 980 suggests that the Meic Arailt's ambitions there had been fulfilled during this span.

paragraph: In 980, Amlaíb Cúarán was utterly defeated by Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, King of Mide at the Battle of Tara, and retired to Iona where he died soon after. Whilst Islesmen are reported to have supported Amlaíb Cúarán's cause in the conflict, the Meic Arailt are not mentioned, and there is no specific evidence that they did so. On one hand, it is possible that the family supported Amlaíb Cúarán in the conflict. On the other hand, if evidence of contemporary Orcadian encroachment into the Isles is taken into account, there is reason to suspect that the Islesmen present in the conflict were adherents of the earls of Orkney, and did not include the Meic Arailt.

paragraph: Maccus' brother is the first King of the Isles to recorded as such by Irish sources, when he was styled ' by the fifteenth- to sixteenth-century "Annals of Ulster" on his death in 989. The appearance of the kingdom at this time could indicate that the catalyst behind its emergence was Amlaíb Cúarán's defeat at Tara, the subsequent loss of Dublin to Máel Sechnaill's overlordship, and Amlaíb Cúarán's later demise. On one hand, the kingdom could have been a recent creation, perhaps a result of the Meic Arailt gaining overlordship over the Hebridean '. On the other hand, the first record of a King of the Isles in Irish sources may merely reflect the fact that Dublin had been lost to the Irish after having previously formed part of Amlaíb Cúarán's "imperium". In any event, later apparent descendants of Gofraid competed with the descendants of Amlaíb Cúarán for control of a kingdom that encompassed the Hebrides and the Irish Sea region.

paragraph: DW (Dave) Drouillard

paragraph: DW (Dave) Drouillard (born March 23, 1950, in Buffalo, New York) is an American vocalist, songwriter and musician.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: DW (Dave) Drouillard (birth name, David Wilson Drullard) was introduced at an early age to the songs of Woody Guthrie, Huddie Ledbetter, The Weavers, and the work of John Jacob Niles by his mother, Elizabeth Harriet Wilson, a music educator and 1943 graduate of Case Western Reserve University. He entered Trinity Church Choir in 1959, transitioning to St. Paul's Cathedral (Buffalo) Choir in 1962 where he trained as a countertenor in the tradition of Alfred Deller.

paragraph: Drouillard attended University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio and graduated with a degree in English Literature. As a student he was active in the school's madrigal group, the college choir, and was a founding member of the folk group Main Street, Mom, and Apple Pie.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Upon graduation, Drouillard began his music career knocking about the coffeehouses of Spicertown, Akron, Ohio; Allentown, Buffalo, New York; and Yorkville, Toronto, Ontario. He made his first appearance on the venerable WMMS Coffeebreak Concert Series in Cleveland, Ohio, December 6, 1972. Drouillard relocated to New Haven, CT in the fall of 1974 as a featured artist for the historic New York Longchamps Restaurant Group. In addition to his regular schedule, he played opening sets for Toots and the Maytals and Pure Prairie League. In 1977, Drouillard joined the country-rock band, Yankee, and wrote "Green Eyes Crying in the Rain", which was included on the "WHCN Homegrown "compilation album.

paragraph: Beginning in 1981, Drouillard stayed closer to home where he performed at local venues and opened for touring artists including Peter Ostroushko, Connie Kaldor, and Jorma Kaukonen. In 1992 he appeared on the "WWUH Folk Next Door I" live concert album and that summer directed the first of three Apple Valley Family Folk Festivals (1992, 1993, 1994). In 1995, Drouillard performed on the "WWUH Folk Next Door IV" album and released a retrospective recording of original material, "Plainsongs", introducing DWDrouilllard and The Great Buffalo Band. Artists appearing on the album include Darren Wallace formerly of the band Filé, Ken Karpowicz of the Zydeco Zombies, Mark Mercier of the band Max Creek, Phil Rosenthal formerly of the Seldom Scene, Todd Cook, and Matthew Chirsky. Also in 1995, Drouillard appeared on the "Euphonious Mode, Acoustic and beyond..., Volume 2" CD-ROM produced by Harvee Riggs. Dave's 1996 performance schedule included a return to Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY for the 7th Annual Folk-A-Thon and an appearance at Club Passim in Cambridge, MA.

paragraph: Drouillard continues to write and perform, dividing his time between Southern New England and the Niagara Region of Ontario. Dave has performed at the regional 2010 East Rock West Rock Music Festival in New Haven (The Space venue), and the 92nd Annual Durham Fair.

paragraph: Section::::Awards and recognition.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "American Hymn" – Finalist, The American Song Festival 1975, Hollywood, CA

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" – Festival Performance, Hear in Rhode Island 1996, The Rhode Island Songwriters' Association

paragraph: Section::::Critical citations.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "After a solid year of hard work in the studio. . .Dave Drouillard has delivered a gratifying and infectious collection of songs that plumb the mysteries of life, love, nature and the everlasting pursuit of solace amidst chaos and despair. In fact, many of Drouillard's best compositions deal with journeys through stormy seas and troubled relationships, and across unforgiving landscapes, always in pursuit of an answer that seems to lie hidden just across the next ridge, or beyond a maddeningly distant border. . .Drouillard sings in a tenor laden with the weariness, anticipation and emotion of the search." – Ed McKeon

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Dave does it all. Plan to spend the time and listen to him. One of the finest acoustic musicians we've heard in a long time." – The Clinton Bluefish Festival 1995

paragraph: BULLET::::- ". . .But David Drouillard's valuables are different. His shoe box is filled with a treasure far more personal – his words. . . The album highlights the sweet tenor of this former boy soprano as well as his poetic narrative flair, which often evokes the mythical tone of fairy tales." – Orla Swift

paragraph: BULLET::::- ". . .I really wanted to detest this Drouillard record before it went into the sonic transducer. . .But Dave's voice is as pretty a voice as you'll hear in the area these days. OK, "pretty" is a silly adjective to use in most cases, but Drouillard's tenor is all that and more. He brings Celtic influences, a wee bit o' Cajun voilin, and Phil Rosenthal (formerly of Seldom Scene on banjo and mandolin) who adds some natty flavor as well." – Michael Caito

paragraph: Abdulah Muhasilović

paragraph: Abdulah Muhasilović (1898 – unknown) was a Bosnian army chaplain best known for his involvement in the 13th Waffen-SS Division "Handschar".

paragraph: Born in 1898, the son of Bajro Muhasilović, he was raised in Sarajevo. Muhasilović joined the nascent division early on in the recruitment stage in June 1943 and was quickly appointed senior Imam to the entire division as he was comparatively the oldest of all the young ulema who signed up. His tasks included supervising the younger imams and serving as spiritual leader of the divisional headquarters "Stabsjäger Kompanie" (staff security company).

paragraph: In July 1943 he and several other Bosnian Ulema in the Handschar attended an "Imam Training Course" in Berlin organised by SS Obergruppenführer Gottlob Berger. Zvonimir Bernwald (b. 1924), an ethnic German (Volksdeutscher) and interpreter for the division, described Abdulah Muhasilović as a "skirt chaser".

paragraph: Later in 1943, training at Neuhammer, Imam Muhasilović gave an important speech during festivities to mark Bayram: "The world's Muslims are engaged in a terrible life-and-death struggle." He appealed to the men to prepare for conflict with Communism in their "beloved Bosnia".

paragraph: Abdulah Muhasilović was later judged to be a "complete failure." On 21 October 1944 he led a mutiny in Cerna, Croatia he and over 100 Bosnian men simply walked away with their weapons towards Bosnia. They joined 500 other deserters and surrendered to the Partisan XVIII Croatian Brigade in the Maoča - Rahić area.

paragraph: Marijke van der Veen

paragraph: Marijke van der Veen, is a Dutch archaeobotanist and Emeritus Professor of Archaeology at the University of Leicester.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Van der Veen studied History and Archaeology at the University of Groningen. During this time she worked together with Jan Lanting on the Bronze Age barrow landscape, and their circular post settings, at the Hooghalen-estate in the Dutch province of Drenthe. At the University of Sheffield, she studied for a MA in Economic Archaeology and a PhD in Archaeobotany. Following her PhD, Van der Veen worked at Durham University as the English Heritage advisor for environmental archaeology in northern England. In 1992 Van der Veen joined the School of Archaeology and Ancient History, University of Leicester and was promoted to Professor in 2005.

paragraph: Her research has focussed on the Iron Age and Roman periods in Britain, and Roman and Islamic periods in Egypt. Early work established statistical methodologies for archaeobotanical analysis, and pioneered the sampling of archaeological sites in northern Britain. This work demonstrated that Iron Age societies in northern England were undertaking cereal cultivation. More recently, Van der Veen has reconsidered the interpretation of the density of charred crop remains at Iron Age sites, and the comparison of modes of preservation. Van der Veen has studied the food supply to Roman quarry sites Mons Claudianus and Mons Porphyrites in the eastern desert of Egypt, which showed the wide range of foods grown and imported to these remote sites. A major archaeobotanical study of food remains from the port at Quseir al-Qadim, recovered from the 1999-2003 University of Southampton excavations, showed new insights to Roman and Islamic trade. Finds included garlic gloves, citrus rind, banana skins,and black pepper. Her study on Quseir al-Qadim has been described as showing "her ability to recount fascinating botanical investigations of the past in a stimulating and thorough way". Her recent work has focussed on the dispersal of imported plant foods, in Roman Britain, and the Indian Ocean spice trade.

paragraph: Van der Veen received a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship (2008-2011), and a Research Fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies (2011–12) for the project "Seeds of Change".

paragraph: Van der Veen has worked to advance archaeobotanical work in Africa, and has edited a proceedings of the International Workshop on African Archaeobotany and several issues of the journal "World Archaeology." In 2002 Van der Veen was elected as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.
