I had been working my way through the divisional commanders of the Itslian campaign in numerical order. Unfortunately for me Fanshawe was in the last of them, the 48th. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ridgus Posted 20 March , 2023 Share Posted 20 March , 2023 13 minutes ago, Uncle George said: He is Albéric Magnard. He is indeed. Sometimes called 'the French Bruckner' for reasons that quite escape me, he was a wonderful composer cut off in his prime. His farm was in the way of the German advance in August 1914, and having sent his family away he died defending it. If you fancy listening to his music try Symphony No.3 You are as formidable as ever UG - I had given scant clues David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle George Posted 20 March , 2023 Share Posted 20 March , 2023 WAIWA ? ? ? A man who represented a “characteristic type of Englishman. As imperturbable as a fish, always unruffled, the sort of man who would eat porridge by gaslight on a foggy morning in winter, looking as if he had enjoyed a cold bath, all aglow with soap and water, just as cheerful as if he were eating a peach in a sunny garden in August.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
