Teaching Bible and History half-time, creating during the other half, and during the "third half" studying history and the Bible. Hi! My name is Pete. I am really into my project of creating sound-less PowerPoint presentations of US History, intended for the classroom teacher, the parents of home-schoolers, or the historically obsessed. It takes time to create the lessons, but it’s fun for this old retired teache. I find that narrations are too difficult to fit my lessons. The teacher or viewer should control the speed of the video, stopping/pausing where necessary to amplify, correct, discuss, or criticize. There will be a huge set of lessons on World War II events in depth. There will be a huge set of lessons on the Bible. I trust you will enjoy the lessons as much as I did creating them. Q and A are inserted throughout for fun or annoyance, hopefully for teaching moments and discussions. Should be great for the high school classroom or the home-schoolers. But, I like reading/viewing my own stuff, I think it’s good, I learn….or recall more history with every viewing. Watch for the battles like the first, Island Hopping-the war in the Pacific (WWII).

This concludes the life of Napoleon, from the battle of Waterloo to his death on St Helena. The Postscript looks at the fate of his son, the French cult of Bonapartism and the continuing fascination which this man's life continues to evoke.
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.

Curated by a group of local volunteers ‘Voices from the Front: A Personal Account of the Great War’ explores the experiences of everyday soldiers as told through their own words. The Fusilier Museum recently digitised a number of wonderful First World War diaries containing the personal recollections of the soldier’s, as well as beautiful drawings and sketches. Volunteers from the local community spent time researching the men who wrote these diaries allowing their words to inspire the topics that make up this exhibition. What came through strongly were the challenges of day-to-day living: the food, the transport, the conditions and the camaraderie. Tough times are of course mentioned but the diaries tend to allude to, rather than discuss in detail, these more difficult experiences. Hence what this exhibition explores is the day-to-day life of a soldier during the years 1914 -1918.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. The citation reading:
‘’For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. Hearing that the enemy had broken through our outpost line, he rushed out of his
dug-out, and on seeing them advancing across the open he mounted the parapet and dashed forward calling upon the Reserve Company
and details of the Battalion Headquarters to follow. Absolutely unarmed, he made straight for the advancing enemy, and under his
direction our men forced them back 600 yards. While still some forty yards in front he was severely wounded. Realising that his men were
greatly outnumbered and suffering heavy casualties, he signalled to them to withdraw, regardless of the fact that he himself must be
taken prisoner. By his prompt and gallant leading he gained time for the reserves to move up and occupy the line of defence.’’
This was gazetted in the London Gazette on the 12 February 1918.
Neville was taken prisoner with a serious wound to the hip and sent to No.1 POW Camp, Lazarette near Hanover. He was treated by the
German doctors in attempts to save his life as attested to by Lt. Herbert Evans in letters now held by the museum that were sent by this
officer to Lady Elliott-Cooper.
His letter of the 5th February 1918 states that the Matron has suggested that his mother be made aware of the seriousness of his
wounds. Neville has been operated on by Professor Schlange on the 28th December for a bullet that has entered the stomach and
splintered against the hip bone. The pain was severe and they were unable to stop the internal bleeding and pus and that the wound was
now septic.
On the 20th February Lt. Evans confirmed that Neville died at 11.30 p.m. on the 11th February aged 29 and was buried on the 14th with
full military honours and that a British soldier was allowed to take photographs of the ceremony, although these were not sent with the
letter.
Neville is buried at The Hamburg Military Cemetery, Germany.
