I am Education Co-ordinator of the Gallipoli Association (voluntary, unpaid!), the premier international organisation for keeping the memory of this ill fated campaign of WW!1alive. You can see our work on our website www.gallipoli-association.org. In the last three years I have organised a number of remembrance services. I am planning a commemorative service in Southern Manchester Cemetery on Sunday November 17th at 1400 hours. There are over 20 graves or memorials to local men men who died in the campaign, many on the 4th June 1915, in the Third Battle of Krithia. The service will be followed by a tour of the graves/memorials. I am sure some of your member's/community will be interested in this and any publicity you can give it would be most welcome.
Hi Dean. Struggling a little in trying to navigate my way through substack to your Manchester History site. Think i may have finally manage it. A question! Is it possible to access the stories that you list the Pawnbroker : talking with a Fenian etc. if it is possible then do i do it?
Hi Phil. Thanks for subscribing to the Manchester History Club. If you go to www.manchesterhistory.uk you can see my full archive. The older stories are locked for paid subscribers but there's currently a free seven day trial subscription offer. The magazines I mentioned in the story are in various archives in Manchester - Chetham's, Central Library and John Rylands.
Congratulations on the milestone, Dean and for a fun twist here on the project. I love these gritty stories of Victorian England and can't wait to hear more. We were just talking the other day in one of our Projectkin.org Project Clinics about the various charities and the "British Home Children" sent to Canada into various forms of indentured servitude. This came up in the context of Marci Keats Rudolph's post "My Roots Are Showing" https://marcir.substack.com/p/coming-soon. It's such a great reminder of how the consequences of the industrialization of the Victorian era still lives on in our own families.
Thanks Barbara. Really kind of you and also interesting to hear about your Project Clinic on the British Home Children sent to Canada. I was only recently looking at the charity records for children sent to Canada from Manchester.
The meeting place is the Lodge near the Barlow Moor Rd. gate
Thanks Ian
