Edward
Edward VI became King of England and Ireland at the young age of nine after the death of his father, King Henry VIII, having been his only child with his third wife Jane Seymour. As King, Edward succeeded his father's power at only 14 years old under the guidance of the Duke of Northumberland. His health began declining in 1552 and it was apparent in 1553 that he was dying, leaving the succession of the throne uncertain between his half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth, though Edward manipulated the rules to try to leave the crown to Lady Jane Grey and her male heirs instead.

KOKODA: So it was at Kokoda? [Humanities]
General Vernon Sturdee warned in 1933 that Japan would pose a major threat to Australian security and predicted that in the event of war, Australian troops would be hastily assembled civilians with little training compared to battle-hardened Japanese soldiers. However, he was ignored. By late 1941 when war loomed in the Pacific, the only troops available to defend Australia were training with broomsticks because they lacked rifles. The document discusses Australia's lack of preparedness for the threat of Japan prior to World War 2 and the difficulties Australian forces faced in the early days of the Pacific War due to insufficient training and equipment.

How the British neglect their military heroes and their graves
This document provides an account of the Battle of Chillianwallah fought in 1849 between British and Sikh forces. It summarizes that the battle was highly significant as it was one of the bloodiest battles for the British in India and marked a rare defeat for them, despite having numerical advantages. The battle damaged the prestige of the British military and influenced rising nationalist sentiments in India, contributing to the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857.

Brown bess and enfield rifle in 1857 myths and miconceptions of indian histor...
The Enfield Rifle played a decisive role in defeating the rebellion of 1857. Much more than the British officers of that time or most British historians since 1947 want anyone to know. This tendency is understandable because it deflates the deliberately cultivated myth of "White Man's Superiority" in the post 1857 sociopolitical scenario. There is no doubt that the British soldier was brave, that their younger officer lot was resolute and that their higher commanders were by and large an assorted bunch of incompetent old men.
S.S. Thorbum was one of those very few Britons who admitted the superiority of the Enfield Rifle and the decisive part it played in the Sepoy defeat in 1857. In the Appendix of Thorburn's book which few people read, Thorburn made a very profound observation, he said, "Had the sepoys accepted the Enfield and mutinied afterwards, our difficulties in suppressing their revolt would have been enormously increased453.
A very simple gauge of this fact is the high proportion of EEIC's Bengal Army casualties in the First and Second Sikh Wars. This happened because the EEIC forces till 1849 were still equipped with the old Brown Bess Musket and the Sikhs were armed with a similar weapon. Thus the British suffered a very high proportion of casualties, in the Sikh wars as compared to the battles of 1857

The Hundred Years War
The document provides background information on the Hundred Years War between France and England from 1337 to 1453. It summarizes key events such as the Norman Conquest establishing English claims to French lands, early English victories at battles like Crecy and Agincourt through the use of the longbow and cannons, and the rise of Joan of Arc who helped rally French forces and lift the English siege of Orleans, shifting momentum back to France.
King Henry Viii
Henry VIII was born in 1491 in Greenwich, England to King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. He became king in 1509 after the death of his older brother Arthur. Henry married Catherine of Aragon in 1509 and had one son, Henry, who died after two months. Henry sought to emulate his predecessors through war with France. He ruled England while traveling and left Cardinal Thomas Wolsey to govern in his absence. Henry had six wives and three children who became monarchs: Mary I, Elizabeth I, and Edward VI. He died in 1547 at Whitehall Palace from health problems including obesity, gout, and possibly syphilis.
Indian Army in First World War- For Layman
The Indian Army played a crucial but often overlooked role in World War 1, providing over 1 million troops to fight for Britain. In 1914, Indian troops were urgently deployed to France when the British position was desperate. The Indian Corps arrived just in time to reinforce the British at the First Battle of Ypres, helping turn the tide and prevent a German breakthrough. Indian units endured heavy casualties but helped relieve pressure on the British forces for several crucial months. While Indian troops fought bravely, they faced discrimination and were not given adequate equipment or facilities. Their significant contributions are often overlooked due to racial biases of the time.
Napoleon
Napoleon Bonaparte was a French military leader and politician who served as Emperor of the France from 1804 to 1814. He rose through the ranks of the military during the French Revolution, becoming a general and leading the French army to several important victories against other European powers. In 1804, Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France in a lavish ceremony, declaring himself the rightful ruler. He went on to defeat Austria and Russia at the Battle of Austerlitz, expanding French power across Europe during his reign.
WikipéDia
Henry VIII decided to re-conquer Ireland in part due to the unreliable Fitzgerald dynasty that had become the effective rulers of Ireland. In 1536, Silken Thomas Fitzgerald rebelled against the crown, prompting Henry VIII to pacify Ireland and bring it under English control to prevent foreign invasions of England. Ireland was upgraded to a full Kingdom, though it retained its own Parliament. Over the next century, English control was extended over Irish lords through negotiations and conflicts. The re-conquest was completed under Elizabeth I and James I after several rebellions, removing the last obstacles to English rule by 1607 with the Flight of the Earls.

Roland Philipps: Scout, Soldier, Somme
The Fusilier Museum worked with volunteers from the local community to research the life of Scout leader Roland Philipps and The Battle of the Somme.
In Roland Philipps we found a man who not only experienced the Somme, one of the most contentious battles of the First World War, but a man who worked tirelessly for East London’s local community. His is a story which has faded with time, despite his legacy funding many of the activities of the East London Scouts today. With the centenary of The Battle of the Somme, The Fusilier Museum, our volunteers and The Scout Association felt that the time had come to pay tribute to a man whose actions continue to contribute to the local community.
Despite being born into wealth and privilege Philipps was inspired to move to East London to share Scouting with boys from less well-to-do backgrounds. He believed that every boy should have the opportunity to take part in Scouting, to take responsibility and to learn through doing. His calling was
interrupted by the Great War in which he felt it was his duty to fight. Although his life was cut tragically short it was greatly celebrated and his influence is still felt today.
This exhibition has been researched with the help of The Scout Association whose heritage collection we have been fortunate to work with to learn much of what you will find in these panels.

George jarratt
George Jarratt was born in 1891 in England and worked as a clerk before enlisting in the military. During World War I, he initially served with the 12th Battalion Queens Own (Royal West Kent Regiment) before transferring to the Royal Fusiliers. In May 1917, during the 2nd Battle of Arras, German soldiers captured George and some wounded comrades and placed them in a dugout. When a grenade landed in the dugout, George sacrificed himself to save the others by placing his body on the grenade, which exploded and killed him but saved the wounded men. For his heroic actions, George was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Arras

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Henry mitchell jones
- 1. Early Life Henry Jones the son of Robert and Charlotte was born in Dublin on the 11th February 1831. Military Life On the 10th April 1849 he joined the 18th Regiment of Foot later the Royal Irish Rifles as an Ensign but within 18 months was commissioned by purchase as a 2nd Lieutenant to the 60th Regiment of Foot, The Kings Royal Rifle Corps. In 1854 he transferred again as a full Lieutenant to the 7th Royal Fusiliers. The Royal Fusiliers saw service in the Crimean War from 1853 to 1856. Their first action was at the Battle of the Alma on the 20th September 1854 where Henry carried the Regimental Colours along with Lt. Coney. During this action Henry was badly wounded receiving a number of gunshot wounds. Thirty years later when receiving dental treatment a bullet was found still lodged in his jaw. On the 7th June 1855 during the Siege of Sevastopol Henry won the Victoria Cross. The citation reads: “For having distinguished himself, while serving with the party which stormed and took the Quarries, before Sebastopol, by repeatedly leading on his men to repel the continual assaults of the enemy during the night. Although wounded early in the evening, Captain Jones remained unflinchingly at his post until after daylight the following morning.” Henry Mitchell Jones VC Rank: Lieutenant (Acting Captain) Date of Birth: 11th February 1831 Battalion: 7th Royal Fusiliers
- 2. However the award was not gazetted until September 1857 by which time Henry had resigned his position with the rank of Captain. Henry was also awarded France’s highest military award the Legion d’ Honneur. The delay in receiving confirmation of the VC may have led to his early resignation. There seems to be evidence that Henry actually applied to the War Office himself for the VC threatening to resign if it were not awarded. Although not common practice it is known that a small number of Officers did indeed apply for this distinguished award during the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny. Henry re-joined the Army in late 1861 but resigned his commission within two years to join the Diplomatic service. Later Life From 1863 until his retirement in 1898 Henry served as Consul General in various parts of the world, including as far a field as Fiji and closer to home in Norway. Henry died in Eastbourne, Sussex on 11th December 1916, aged 85 years. One year later on the 4th October 1917 his only son Oliver was killed in action whilst serving with the 9th Battalion Nottingham and Derbyshire Regiment (The Sherwood Foresters). Henry Jones’s medals including his Victorial Cross are held by the Army Museum of New South wales, Victoria Barracks, Sydney, Australia.
