William the Conqueror was born in 1028 in Normandy, France and became the Duke of Normandy in 1035. In 1066, after the death of King Edward the Confessor of England, William claimed the English throne. He invaded England and defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, establishing himself as the new King of England. As king, William implemented major reforms including creating the Domesday Book and building many castles. He faced several rebellions but was able to consolidate his rule. William died in 1087 after being injured falling from his horse.
How good was he?
Abstract
WCB Wilson was one of Queensland’s early pioneering surveyors. While we have heard of Dixon, Staplyton and Warner, few of us know the exploits of Wilson. In this sesquicentenary of Queensland as a state, I thought it appropriate to add some character to a name that we may only see on a plan. I also explore the accuracy of one of his surveys in terms of ‘following in his footsteps’ when reinstating boundaries created by Wilson almost 150 years ago.
Spies
Several spies played important roles in helping the American colonists gain intelligence and defeat the British during the Revolutionary War:
- James Armistead acted as a spy in Cornwallis' camp, relaying intelligence on troop movements and arms that helped the Americans defeat the British at Yorktown.
- Nathan Hale volunteered for an intelligence mission but was caught and hanged, uttering the famous line "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
- The Culper Ring, organized by Benjamin Tallmadge and Abraham Woodhull, operated covertly in British-occupied New York and provided General Washington with valuable intelligence until the end of the war.
Jack I - Charles Upham
Charles Upham was a New Zealand soldier who is famous for being the only person to ever receive the Victoria Cross twice for acts of bravery during combat. He displayed outstanding courage and leadership during battles in Crete and Egypt in World War 2, destroying enemy positions and rescuing wounded comrades while injured himself. After being captured, Upham attempted multiple escapes and was transferred to the Colditz prisoner of war camp until the end of the war. Following the war, Upham returned to farming in New Zealand but remained deeply affected by his experiences fighting against the Germans.
Winston churchill
Winston Churchill was a British politician who served as Prime Minister during World War II. He inspired Britain to resist Nazi Germany and was widely regarded as one of the greatest British leaders of the 20th century. Churchill held many important government roles over his long career, including First Lord of the Admiralty during World War I where he oversaw the British navy and developed the first tanks. He also played a role in the failed Gallipoli Campaign against the Ottoman Empire during WWI.

Henry mitchell jones
Henry Jones was born in Dublin in 1831 and joined the British army in 1849, serving in several regiments including the Royal Irish Rifles and Royal Fusiliers. During the Crimean War in 1854-1856, Henry fought bravely at the Battle of Alma and the Siege of Sevastopol, where he was badly wounded but remained at his post defending his men. For his actions at Sevastopol, Henry was awarded the Victoria Cross, though it was not officially gazetted until 1857. After resigning his military commission, Henry had a long career in diplomacy, serving as Consul General in various locations until his retirement in 1898. He died in Eastbourne, England in 1916.
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.

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

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Walter napleton stone
- 1. Rank: Lieutenant (Acting Captain) Date of Birth: 7th December 1891 Battalion: 3rd Battalion Early Life Walter Napleton Stone was born on 7th December 1891 to Edward and Emily Frances Stone in Blackheath, South London. His father was a solicitor and Walter was his tenth son. He was educated at Harrow School and Pembroke College, Cambridge but did not complete his studies as he left for Canada on the SS Lusitania on the 27th April 1912 to study Land Surveying. He met Maud Mabel Jukes and they had a son Reginald who was born on the 21st May 1914. Walter returned to Great Britain enlisting with the Inns of Court Officer Training Corp before entering the Royal Military College, Camberley prior to being commissioned into the 3rd Battalion Royal Fusiliers on the 12th May 1915. On the 5th January 1916 he was attached to the 17th (Empire) Battalion Royal Fusiliers. Military Life Walter received a posthumous VC for his actions at Bourlon Wood during the Battle of Cambrai. He was gazetted in the London Gazette on the 12th February 1918. The citation reads: “On 30th November, 1917, whilst in command of a company in an isolated position, 1000 yards to the front of the main line and overlooking the enemy in a position in the Cambrai sector, in France, he observed the enemy preparing for an attack and sent back information to headquarters to this effect. He was ordered to withdraw his company leaving a rearguard as cover. As the enemy attack gathered unexpected momentum, Captain Stone sent back three platoons, staying with the rearguard himself. Standing on the parapet with a telephone, all the time under heavy bombardment, he observed the enemy, sending back valuable information on the situation until the wire was cut on his orders. The rearguard was surrounded by the enemy and cut to pieces. Captain Stone was shot through the head as he fought to the last. The accuracy of the information he supplied was invaluable, causing the line to be saved, thus averting a disaster.” Walter Napleton Stone VC
- 2. At the time of his death Walter was 25 years of age. On the 2nd October 1918 Walter’s brother Lt. Col. Arthur Stone DSO of the 16th Lancashire Fusiliers was also killed in action. Walter’s body was never found and he is commemorated on the Cambrai Memorial to the Missing and at the family plot in Greenwich Cemetery. It is possible that Walter never married Maud Jukes although the latter did marry an Eric Oliver Gurney originally from England but living in Detroit, Michigan. He may have adopted Reginald who has signed letters to the museum as Eric O. Gurney (nee Reginald Stone). The current whereabouts of the V.C. are currently unknown.
