| 212 | 06/06 The following chronology provided here courtesy of Eileen Hughes (nee Cullinane). Chronology of Dad's World War II Military Service Captain John Henry Cullinane P/251260 The following is derived from conversations between JHC and various members of his family and friends and extracts from books. 20/07/1933 Enlisted into the Welsh Guards Regular Army and posted to 1st Battalion (Age 17) 16/06/1937 Released to Reserve. (Age 21) Police Constable until call-up. 15/06/1939 Called up for Service. (Age 23) 02/09/1939 Mobilized and posted to 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. (Age 24) 22/04/1939 Extract from Welsh Guards at War. #1 "The 1st Battalion was ordered to reinforce the Garrison at Gibraltar and embarked on the 22nd April." This accounts for his service in Gibraltar. 07/11/1939 #1 "1st Battalion transferred from Gibraltar to France, sailing for Marseilles on the 7th November and spending a night in Paris before going to the front." 07/11/1939 Appointed Lance Corporal (Age 24) 05/04/1940 Promoted Corporal (Age 25) 10/04/1940 Married Alice Margaret Powell in St Patrick's Church Newport, Mon. Honeymoon in Abergavenny at the Angel Hotel. 2 Photos below right taken at time of honeymoon on the bank of the River Usk. I don't know how much leave he had to get married but he went back to France and was in the Arras area. (This from a conversation between Bob and Dad when they were discussing Bob's father who was captured in the Arras area.) The 1st Battalion Welsh Guards marched in to Arras on the 17th May 1940 and held this position until the 24th of May 1940 when they were ordered to withdraw eventually reaching Dunkirk. A full account of how this was achieved can be found in #1. Page 89 We know that Dad came off Dunkirk beach but he never said much to me about it. Margaret recalls that the ship that picked him up was the HMS Anthony. (Hence John's second name) I have found this ship listed in the Operation Dynamo information, it rescued 3107 troops. See www.adls.org.uk On one of his visits home Mum gave him a china black cat he kept this in his kit, along with a favourite pipe both of these came off Dunkirk beach with him. 03/12/1940 Posted to Staff Officer Cadet Training Unit - Sandhurst. (Age 26) 15/02/1941 John Anthony born. 01/06/1941 Promoted Sergeant. 09/12/1941 Posted to 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. (Age 27) 09/07/1942 Margaret Alice born. 10/07/1942 Posted to 161 Officer Cadet Training Unit. 05/11/1942 Appointed to an Emergency Commission in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers as a Lieutenant and posted to 9th Battalion. (Age 28) 29/03/1943 Attached to Advanced Handling and Fieldcraft School. JHC Lieutenant 20/08/1943 MOD records show Posted to Signal Training School HQ but I believe the "Signal" reference to be incorrect as STS means Special Training School. Papers found confirm that he was on the payroll of STS HQ on 1st March 1944 and possibly before. His service records show that he was at the following STS Houses; STS 2 Box Hill near Bath. STS17 Brickendonbury STS 34 The Drokes situated on the west side of the Beaulieu river. STS 41 Gumley Hall, Market Harborough STS 42 Roughwood Park, Chalfont St, Giles Bucks. STS 51 Ringway. We know from converstions with him that he also knew Beaulieu in the New forest and Arisaig in Scotland. Mum told us that he parachuted into France before the D Day landings. 07/09/1944 Appointed Captain. (Age 29) 09/04/1945 He took over command of STS 47 Anderson Manor Dorset. From 05/11/1942 to 16/06/1945 what he actually did is very vague. An indication can be found in a book called (#2)"Beaulieu: The Finishing School For Secret Agents" (chapter IV pg. 46) This states that the Small Scale Raiding Force had its HQ at Anderson Manor. We also know from things Dad mentioned that he was at Arisaig. (#2 pg. 14) SOE School known as the MI (Military Intelligence) Wing and Beaulieu the finishing school for secret agents. 16/06/1945 Posted to 21 Holding Battalion. Newtown Camp, Newtown, Montgomery. See letter from Capt. Paul Mullaney in brown box. 22/06/1945 Eileen Elizabeth born. 10/09/1945 Posted to 38 Reinforcement Holding Unit. (Age 30) 08/09/1945 Embarked UK 09/09/1945 Disembarked North West Europe. Based at Ludenscheid 18/09/1945 Posted to 11th Battalion Royal Scott's Fusiliers. The only information I have about this time is from Dad. He said he was involved in interviewing refugees in order to find out if they should be sent back to Russia or remain in Germany. See also #3 page 85 for another possible reason for being in Germany. 11/01/1946 Release orders received at Ludenscheid. (Original in brown box) Ordered to report to 49 Div. Transit Camp on 19th Jan. 1946 for transport to UK via. 122 Transit Camp Munster and via Tournai to UK for release. 03/04/1946 Released from Military Service. Overseas Service MOD record: Gibraltar 02/09/1939 to 06/11/1939 France 07/11/1939 to 31/05/1940 North West Europe 08/09/1945 to 23/01/1946 As far as War Service is concerned that was the end of it. He now began a fight to get a job to keep his family, a wife and 3 children at this time. Amongst the papers in the brown box are letters saying he had not been successful for jobs. One from the Chief Constable saying he was now too old to be a PC. The Tax Office was also checking on income during his war service. (nice people) So along with thousands of other soldiers he had come back to the country, he had fought 7 years for, to find that those who stayed safely at home, for whatever reason, were not prepared to employ him. This seems to be something that historians overlook. It is not clear how long he was without a job but he must have been very disillusioned. His generation had been born during the 1st World War lived through the depression of the nineteen thirties and fought in the 2nd World War. Not a great time to be growing up. After release from full time service he was appointed to a TA commission in the rank of Captain. See attached MOD papers for full details of his TA posting. Captain John Henry Cullinane 2nd from left back row I worked with a member of the TA in the Welsh Water Authority. He remembers an incident with JHC when they were doing one of their compulsory hikes across the Brecon Beacons when a mist came down. Despite the mist they kept going along the track. JHC suddenly told them all to stop and sit down where they were. After some time when the mist cleared they saw that they were just a few feet from the edge of a cliff. Reference books. #1. Welsh Guards at War by Major L. F. Ellis 1946 I found an order form for this book in the brown box. Dad had completed the form (in 1947) but had not posted it. I searched on the Amazon antique book site and found a copy and bought it. When it arrived it had come from the antique bookshop in Tintern. #2. Beaulieu: The Finishing School For Secret Agents. By Cyril Cunningham 1998 ISBN 0-85052-598-5 #3. A Life in Secrets: The Story of Vera Atkins and the Lost Agents of SOE By Sarah Helm Other books for reference. SOE 1940 to 1946 by M.R.D.

His records state "05/11/1942 Appointed to an Emergency Commission in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers as a Lieutenant and posted to 9th Battalion. (Age 28) (Email from Margaret Hill 14/02/06) | CULLINANE, John Henry (I548)

|
| 214 | 06/10 Cannot find Mark or Elisa beyond the 1891 census. Aaron ALLEN (Mark's father) and family lived next door to a WEBB family in the 1851 census. Aaron's son Mark married a Elisa WEBB. I wonder if this is the same family? Further research required. 07/10 "Father inLaw" Aaron appears under Mark ALLEN's 1861 household in the 1861 census. This is actually Mark ALLENs father who was living with Mark and Elisa by this time. | ALLEN, Mark (I1063)
|
| 215 | 06/10 Jane's birth certificate confirms her parents as Thomas and Elizabeth Rathbone. 04/10 1861 Census confirms Jane is working (aged 10) as a Nurse Maid at a farm owned by William Benco Lembick, thought to be in Yate. On the census the name of the farm is not clear, though it appears on the list next to Yate rectory. Source "Ronald Stanton; Family Notes; Date List" lists Jane Ann's surname as "Rathbone". There is an Elizabeth Rathbone listed on an inscriptions list for Holy Trinity Church at Rangeworthy in Gloucs: William WALL, 2 Feb 1859, 67, 1792 Hannah, 17 Jan 1873, 85, 1788 Elizabeth, wife of Thomas RATHBONE, 11 Feb 1902, 82, 1820 Elizabeth SHIPWAY, 12 Aug 1870, 83, 1787 Thomas RATHBONE, 12 July 1871, 48, 1823 http://www.wishful-thinking.org.uk/genuki/GLS/Rangeworthy/MIs.html Needs further research to confirm relationship. {Additional notes in Family Notes; General Information" on a hand drawn family tree provides names of Jane's parents as Thomas and Elizabeth...} Her name appears on census's as born in Iron Acton, Gloucestershire. 06/03 Had this name originally as "Eliza Rathbone". Now confirmed to be "Jane" that married John Allen. Poss Eliza was alternate name? | RATHBONE, Jane Ann (I91)

|
| 217 | 06/10 William filled out many forms in relation to his homestead during his fight to keep the land. In a number of these it states that he had 3 small children. In one he states that his wife had twins in January 1913 but one of them died. | HEATH, ? (I1114)
|
| 218 | 06/11 1871 census has William George HEATH, aged 11 months (census was April 2nd 1871) with his parents. So a birth date of around May 1870. BMD Index has a birth record for William George HEATH in Oct-Nov-Dec- 1869: BMD Search result details Civil Registration event: Birth Name: HEATH, William George Registration District: Clifton County: Gloucestershire Year of Registration: 1869 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec Mother's Maiden Name: Not available before 1911 Q3 Volume No: 6A Page No: 55 There is a William George HEATH recorded in the 1881 census living with Samuel H. Heath (carpenter) at 4, Clyde Rd. Westbury-on-Trym. Originally it was thought that this was our William George (as birth date/place was a near match) living with an relatives, since his brothers had both been deposited with relatives after the apparent breakup of their parents marriage. However, this William George's birth certificate (BMD:Dec Qtr 1869, Clifton 6a page 55) proves his parents to have been Samuel H Heath and Emma (nee Payne). So this is not the right William George. The 1911 census has William JJ HEATH born in Bristol, living in Birkenhead. He also appears on the 1901 census as William HEATH in Bootle, West Derby. Not convinced that this is the correct William. BMD confirms that this is William John J HEATH b1871. Perhaps William George (1871 census) and William Charles (1881+ census) are one and the same person. Or perhaps William George died very young? | HEATH, William George (I161)
|
| 219 | 06/11 1851 census lists William BRUMWELL as Richard's grandson. At present it is not clear who William is the son of? One of the daughters? A son who is not living with them? Need to follow William in future census. Unable to locate "Richard BRUMWELL; bc1787" in the 1861 census or beyond. | BRUMWELL, Richard (I1339)
|
| 220 | 06/11 1871 census has Mary aged 65. But so does the 1861 census! I suspect the 1871 census is correct since her children are about the right age, unless she had her son Timothy when she was 55? | ?, Mary (I998)
|
| 221 | 06/11 1871 census has Timothy born in "Cork", Ireland. This is the only reference I have so far to a specific place in Ireland for his (and his wife Mary's) birth. Unable to locate Timothy in any census after 1871. | CULLINANE, Timothy (I103)
|
| 222 | 06/11 1891 census has Henry's age incorrectly given as 21. It should be 31. The last census he appears on is the 1901 census. 02/08 Extract from tape recording with Douglas CAMPBELL and Andrew STANTON discussing Frederick CAMPBELL. AS: His grandfather you were saying dad was the was involved in the Metropolitan police? DC: He was on the mounted police yes the mounted side AS: The mounted police? Yes so that means that's your great grandfather? DC: Yes yes AS: Was that before 1600 or? DC: Ooh hoo! (laughter) | CAMPBELL, Henry John (I826)
|
| 223 | 06/11 1911 census states 12 children, 6 still alive. | TYAS, Mary Ann (I269)
|
| 224 | 06/11 1911 census suggests that Timothy and Eliza had 11 children. By 1911 4 had died. We know this would include Ellen, but who were the other 3? Perhaps James b1880? 18/12/02 Radio Bristol this morning featured a man with a background of both an appreciation of blues music from the cotton plantations in America and an interest in local history. He has been inspired, by work done by Barton Hill History Society, to devise a musical community play entitled "King Cotton", based on the history of the Great Western Cotton Factory, where your predecessor Mr. Cullinane was a foreman. This fellow explained in a radio interview how this huge factory was built on a greenfield site at Barton Hill which was originally an area of orchards and market gardens (hence the 'local' "Rhubarb Tavern") and completely changed the nature of the area and of the inhabitants. Capital for the project was supplied by ten men who had profited from the slave trade and the West Indies and aimed, after slavery, to continue here the work they had done in America. Factory life ibn Barton Hill was pretty strict with mostly women working from 6 to 6 daily and 6-12 mid-day on Saturdays. One chap of 90-odd years, Wally Ball, rang in to say he remembered as a small boy being allowed to go with his mother to her workplace, with something like 1,000 women in a huge hall full of huge cast-iron shuttle machines, many, as was his mother, looking after up to 6 machines each. Dad will remember the road where he lived, Russeltown Avenue (which was originally called Dean Lane but was changed to distinguish it from the Dean Lane in Bedminster). The average employee total at the factory was usually around 1,200 to 1,800 and even up to 2,000. Finally, of course, due to the American cotton famine caused by boll weevil, and growing competition from Liverpool where access to the port was easier and so Port Charges were not so high, the Great Western project was never able fully to recover again. G.E.C. (General Electric Co.) were the last to use the factory premises, as a warehouse depot, before it was demolished. It was mentioned in the interview how it was a shame that demolition was considered necessary - that 'conservation' concerns most usually the property of the privileged rich and it is working traditions that always warrant 'demolition'. | CULLINANE, Edward Timothy (I48)
|
| 225 | 06/11 A Sarah PATTEN (b.W Chinnock) appears in the 1841 census as a "School Mistress" in Fisherton Anger (where her brother William and his family also live). She is with a lady called Elizabeth who is 80 (b1761) who is likely to be Elizabeth nee LOWCOCK - Sarah's mother. Both women are unusally born "out of county". These women and William's family are the only PATTEN's in Wiltshire in the 1841 census, (with the exception of one 15yr old "Mary PATTEN" in "Cricklade & Wootton Bassett Union"). There are a quite a few PATTENs in Somerset though, mainly in Registration District of Yeovil which includes West Chinnock, but none that appear to match the correct age requirement for Sarah and Elizabeth, nor are there any likely William's PATTEN's left in West Chinnock in this census. All of which suggests they are all of the same PATTEN's family formerly of West Chinnock. Then Sarah appears in the 1851 census in West Chinnock, lodger, unmarried, as a "Pauper School Mistress". 05/08 Email from Keith Patten: West Chinnock, Sara? Patten, baptised 29.10.1789 | PATTEN, Sarah (I920)
|
| 226 | 06/11 Can't find Aaron and his parents together on a census document. Both appear on the 1841 census, however John and Hester are at Henbury on the other side of Bristol. Need more proof that these are his parents. 03/11 1841 census has Aaron and family living at "Rolling Mills" near Wick and Abson in Gloucestershire. In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Abson like this: ABSON, Abston, or Abbotston, a village and a parish in Chipping-Sodbury district, Gloucester. The village stands on a small tributary of the Avon, 3 miles SE of Mangotsfield r. station, and 7 E by N of Bristol. The parish contains also the villages of Bridgegate and Holbrook; and is sometimes called Abson-cum-Wick, and sometimes Wick and Abson. Post Town, Wick under Bath. Acres, 2,315. Real property, £5,541. Pop., 833. Houses, 185. The manor belonged anciently to Glastonbury Abbey, and belongs now to Messrs. Batterbury and Tolman. There are romantic rocky heights, a Roman camp, two Druidical stones, lead and tin ores, and two iron-rolling mills. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to Pucklechurch, in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. There are a church for Abson, of early English date; a church for Wick, built in 1850; Independent and Wesleyan chapels; and a national school. http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/place_page.jsp?p_id=21303 | ALLEN, Aaron O (I1124)
|
| 227 | 06/11 Can't locate Richard on the 1851 census 11/08 1871 Census has Richard (43) a labourer, living at 6 John Street with daughters Sarah Ann (12), Elizabeth Jane (10) and Kate (5) 06/05 Graham Turner 1861 Census with Richard and Mary Ann and family at 6 John Street. Mervyn located Richard Target (Caroline's father) still living at 6 John St., Southampton St. Mary, the same address given on her marriage certificate. He is shown as aged 53, widower, a coalyard labourer, (born Basingstoke, Hants) living with a daughter Kate Target, aged 15, (born Sou'ton, Hants.). [Note only one final 't' now, but perhaps as assumed by the census taker or lost in the transcription]. I wonder what happened to Mary Ann (Caroline's mum) in the meanwhile? She would have been 40-ish when little Kate was born. | TARGETT, Richard (I176)
|
| 228 | 06/11 Cannot find Harold and family on the 1911 census. Perhaps they emigrated to Australia between Mary's birth in Nov 1910 and the census date April 1911. Nor can find him (can find lots of Harry Whites on the 1881 or 1891 censuses. 07/04 Caroline Weber detailed birth dates etc regarding Harold White, Bryant Weber and Mary White and descendants on visit to UK July 2004. 06/03 Emigrated to Australia. | WHITE, Harold Goodenough (I361)
|
| 229 | 06/11 Eliza's husband George DUNN is recorded as a "Widower" in the 1911 census. Though Eliza doesn't appear with him on the 1891 census either so maybe she died earlier than that. | KNIGHT, Eliza (I931)
|
| 230 | 06/11 Essex Street no longer exists in Bedminster. It occupied the position now occupied by a tower block called "Northfield House" on Catherine Mead Street. 1881 Census: Samuel Charles Heath was living with his Aunt Arabella (Matilda's sister), who by then was married to Samuel Bennett, at 15 Bartley Street, Bedminster, Bristol. He continued to live with them until he married Deborah, who was the daughter of George Dunn - a lodger at 15 Bartley Street. This must have been how they met! | HEATH, Samuel Charles (I154)
|
| 231 | 06/11 Frank William is thought to have died soon after birth as no-one remembers him but Mervyn Stanton has a copy of his birth certificate. He appears on the 1891 census with his parents but is gone by 1901 census which only has his younger siblings. Unable to locate "Frank HEATH, bc1890" on the 1911 census. | HEATH, Frank William (I153)
|
| 232 | 06/11 Henry is listed on the 1871 census as "step-son" of the Head (John George BEATON). Unable to locate "Henry BABSTOCK" on the 1881 census or beyond. | BABSTOCK, Henry E (I1337)
|
| 233 | 06/11 In 1891 John is working as a Stoker aboard the 2nd Class Battleship "Audacious". "The ship's refit was complete in March 1883 and she again relieved Iron Duke as flagship of the China Station later that year. Audacious remained there until 1889 when she returned to Chatham where she was refitted, rearmed and replaced her masts and rigging with simple pole masts fitted with fighting tops . Upon the completion of her refit in 1890 she returned to Hull for the third time until the ship was decommissioned in 1894." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Audacious_(1869) The China Station was a historical formation of the British Royal Navy . It was formally the units and establishments responsible to the Commander-in-Chief, China. From 1831 to 1865 the East Indies Station and the China Station were a single command known as the East Indies and China Station .[1] The China Station, established in 1865, covered the coasts of China and its navigable rivers, the western part of the Pacific Ocean , and the waters around the Dutch East Indies .[2] These responsibilities did not imply territorial claims, although the navy often co-operated with British commercial interests in the above areas. The China Station had bases at Singapore , HMS Tamar (1865-1941 and 1945-1997) in Hong Kong and Wei Hai Wei (1898-1930). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Station It seems that the family recollection of John was that he was also known as "Jack". The story goes that "Jack" was in the Navy and told stories of chasing the Sheikh of Zanzibars' wives! Also of transporting guns out of warships on the Zambesi. Boer war? Originally we had Jack and John as separate individuals in the database, however, with the discovery of John in the Navy on the 1891 census (and the lack of any sign of a "Jack" in any official records) it would seem that John and "Jack" are one and the same person. In 1871 at the time of the Census Timothy and Eliza had James, aged 1, with them, but John, also aged 1, was being looked after by Eliza's mum, Mrs. Child. It appears that James and John were twins, because on the 1881 Census John was aged 11 but there was a James aged 1. So did James, the twin aged 1 in 1871, die, to be remembered by the re-use of his name for a later son in 10 years' time? It's the only explanation that occurs to me at this time. By 1911 John and Emily were managing the Victoria Hotel in Dover, Kent. More detail on this establishment is available here: http://www.dover-kent.com/Victoria-Hotel.html | CULLINANE, John J (I258)

| 234 | 06/11 In the 1851 census Joseph and Sarah are living with Joseph's parents Jacob and Mary HEATH. Also in the house are "Grand-daughters" of the Head (Jacob). Assumed to be daughters (Ann and Elizabeth) of Joseph and Sarah. By 1861 it is believed that Joseph was dead. It seems that his daughters Ann and Elizabeth were now living with his younger brother Jacob and his family. While his wife Sarah was working in service (as a nurse) in the household of George MOGAN, a Banker in Lyncombe, Bath. | HEATH, Joseph (I415)

| 235 | 06/11 It is not clear why John and Jane would have married so far from their "home". On the 1871 census there is however a family of ALLEN's from Devon living in Llansamlet near Neath. I wonder if there could be a connection there. 07/11 Interesting to see that in the 1901 census Elizabeth is working as a cook for the family of a clergyman (Griffith Matthews) who was born in Tonna, Neath. Tonna is 1km up the road from where John ALLEN and Elizabeth RATHBONE (cousins of this Elizabeth) were married. This suggests that the link with this part of South Wales was perhaps on the ALLEN side rather than RATHBONE. 04/10 Notes from Source "Ronald Stanton, Family Notes, General Information, ALLEN.": Grandpa John James Allen. b12/12/59 d19/2/49; Telephone Foreman Ganger; Edison Bell Company.

| 236 | 06/11 It would appear that John Charles left Bristol in the 1870's for London. There he married a lady called Ellen (surname unknown) born in Saffron Walden, Essex, who appears as his wife on the 1881 and 1891 census. They don't appear to have had any children. In 1899 John Charles remarries again to an "Emily GOULD" (BMD Index). So that by the 1901 census we find John Charles with wife "Emily", born in Minstead, Hampshire. Also living with them is Herbert John GOULD who is listed as John's stepson, this ties in with the names on the marriage data on the BMD Index. | ?, Ellen (I1332)

By the publication of the 1881 Census John Charles HEATH is shown in St. Marylebone, London, aged 30, with a new wife, Ellen, aged 26. And by the 1901 Census, at the age of 50 he had changed her for Emily, aged 47 (who had been a servant in a coffee shop) and an 18 year-old stepson, Herbert John GOULD, who was a Solicitor's clerk. 09/05 Mervyn The 1851 Census shows: at 49 Broadmead, St. James, Bristol.

They married and Maud got pregnant at the same time as Don had to go off to war. My mum June Allen (nee Ford) has love letter between them at this time and apparently Don was due to come home shortly after he got killed. My father Michael Donovan Joseph Allen was born 12th April 1938 It seems that Joseph and Mary Matilda Allen (nee Mills) acted more as his parents than Maud." 06/10 Donovan was a scout at St Chads, Bristol with Ronald Stanton. Ronald later married Donovan's cousin Ruby Allen. Donovan was killed aboard the Royal Navy Submarine "Orpheus" during WW2 on 19th June 1940, HMS Orpheus (Lt.Cdr. James Anthony Surtees Wise, RN) was sunk on 19 June 1940 while on patrol about 25 nautical miles north of Tobruk, Libya in position 32º30'N, 24º00'E by the Italian destroyer Turbine. Orpheus had departed Malta on 10 June for a patrol of Syracuse. Orpheus was declared overdue on the 27th. http://www.uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/3396.html and is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial in Plymouth, England.

| 246 | 06/15 Between October 1944 and March 1945, Cliff was posted to Aversa Italy (North of Naples) to work at a refugee camp where the Friends Ambulance Unit had a station. The following excerpt from A. Tegla Davies' "THE STORY OF THE F.A.U. IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1946" (1947) describes the work Cliff was involved in - the final lines echoing the impression I have gained of his compassion and humanist nature. "As already suggested, Displaced Persons were never such a problem in Italy as they became in Central Europe. But in addition to the Jugoslavs and Poles there were several thousands of Jews and people of many nationalities, of mixed nationality or of no nationality at all, who had been released from internment or had been caught by the war in Italy. At Aversa and Cine Citta, the Italian Hollywood south of Rome, the Unit assisted in camps set up for them. The Unit had already worked at Aversa when it housed Italian refugees. When Leo Davies arrived there from Sicily in October 1944, it had been taken over to accommodate some 700 non-Italians. At Cine Citta, the pretentious but battered studio buildings had room for two camps, Italian and non-Italian; the population of the latter during the six months over the winter of 1944-45, when the Unit worked in it, fluctuated between 300 and 1,400. In Aversa and Cine Citta the Unit's efforts were largely concerned with welfare-workshops and other occupations, education for the children---for everywhere there were children---and above all the kind of case-work which consists of sitting down to listen sympathetically to tales of hardship and distress. At Cine Citta the routine job was the supply and testing of 40,000 to 70,000 gallons of drinkable water daily, but... "by far the most important part of the work has been that which is so hard to write about in reports, that of talking with individuals and helping to solve their problems and showing them that there is still someone who is willing to listen to them and give them time and assistance if possible. In most cases now the real necessities of life are forthcoming, but it is in little things---little to us---that mental sufferings often occur. When there is physical danger, or when people are on the move, then there is not the same sort of worry. It is when they feel a little safe, physically, and have time to brood that their worst time comes, and it is in camps such as this that it is seen to the maximum. It is sometimes by our friendliness and sympathy in these cases that our best work is done . . . . A refugee is a 'class'---the lowest social stratum." Whether among Italians or non-Italians, the Unit had no lack of opportunity in the camps to show friendliness and sympathy." http://www.ourstory.info/library/4-ww2/Friends/fau10.html Then, between March and April 1945 Cliff worked with the UNRRA Relief Team at the Refugee Transit camp at Ortana on the North coast. Again from A. Tegla Davies' takes up the story: "A survey of the position in Chieti and adjoining provinces had been undertaken early in 1945, and during the spring a transit camp set up outside Ortona. Here the Unit was engaged until the end of the year on the management of the camp and the distribution of the refugees to their homes. Refugees, returning prisoners and forced labourers, stayed a day or two before being moved on. "From this last station of a journey that began in many cases north of the Alps, they returned to the devastated villages and minefields of the Sangro Valley, which the town dominates. Ortona, still littered with the broken hulls of tanks, was the railhead and lay down the road . . . . The condition of the returning refugees at the end of their long trek through the, transit centres was often surprisingly good. Arriving as they did with loads of luggage which might include pigs, tortoises, dogs, hens and grain, they showed annoyance when they found that they could not proceed immediately to their homes. However, the situation was fully explained to them on arrival, when the head of each family was interviewed. An opportunity was given to everyone to go first to the place he wanted to go back to. No one seemed to be deterred by what he found.; whole families would set up house in one room and even one standing wall could still be regarded as home by those who had been exiled for years." http://www.ourstory.info/library/4-ww2/Friends/fau10.html Between 30th April 1945 and 2nd June 1945, Cliff was stationed at the 98th British General Hospital which at the time was at Bari, near the heel of Italy, occupying the Bari Polyclinic, formerly Mussolini's's health-care showpiece. (http://www.scarletfinders.co.uk/112.html and http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GEN-TRIVIA-ENG/2001-07/0994505117). In 1958 Clifford and Ruth were married by Cliff's brother Rev. Ronald Stanton at the church of St Thomas' Telford Park in Streatham South London. Best man was Cliff's brother Mervyn. Maid of honour was Ruth's sister Patricia M Poole. Cliff founded the Exeter branch of the Woodcraft Folk in 1951. He was known as "Wanderfoot" or "Wandi" by the "Folk". While in hospital in late 1974 some weeks before his death. He received a huge number of cards from wellwishers around the Woodcraft Folk community including many homemade cards from numerous children in the organisation. The kids clearly loved him judging by the comments in the cards "Get well soon - Woodcraft Folk need you back"; and "We want to play". | STANTON, Clifford Leslie (I105)
