They speak volumes about the times, and the character of the men involved. Nice to see some good historical investigation.MacShimidhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524785955927578751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-90909444386973954562013-11-11T21:02:06.760+00:002013-11-11T21:02:06.760+00:00Tom Johnston seems to have been a pretty honourabl...Tom Johnston seems to have been a pretty honourable man.douglas clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422060678908705962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-79448902373642699922013-11-11T08:24:21.262+00:002013-11-11T08:24:21.262+00:00When you read the correspondence its clear that To...When you read the correspondence its clear that Tom Johnson felt on pretty thin ice around the detention. <br /><br />We should not dismiss the level of paranoia and alarm during the start of WW2, so to have a cool head then was probably unusual.Running Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481107803384349382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-48766746025422115642013-11-10T15:03:28.748+00:002013-11-10T15:03:28.748+00:00OK, I stand corrected.

This now known as the Criminal Procedure Act 1701 c.6.[19] It was originally called "the Act for preventing wrongful imprisonment and against undue delays in trials". It is still in force although certain parts have been repealed."</i>James Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516007141763230886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-14433554098647470722013-11-10T14:35:58.049+00:002013-11-10T14:35:58.049+00:00Point of order James.

Yes, by all means feel free to let me know what's been going on if you have the time - I've barely even visited PB over the last few weeks.James Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516007141763230886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-26883998929905033712013-11-10T11:09:50.562+00:002013-11-10T11:09:50.562+00:00Bravo.

Just saw a book published recently that has all the relevant Battalion War diaries for the 1st July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. All the Battalion & Divisional diaries transcribed from the NA files. I wish I had thought of that first.Marcianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-28762177325165275352013-11-10T08:32:38.801+00:002013-11-10T08:32:38.801+00:00Morning James.
Very interesting stuff on Donaldso...Morning James.<br /><br />Very interesting stuff on Donaldson. Though to be frank if it's something the bigots and racists on PB rant about that's always a sure sign they are on very flimsy ground.<br /><br />You might be interested to know that out of the blue Smithson decided to ban me this morning and delete my very first post. With absolutely no warning or explanation obviously. So I think it's fair to say you've certainly touched a nerve somewhere.<br /><br />If you're interested I can of course fill you in on some of the frankly bizarre things that have being going on over at PB of late though I suspect Stuart would be able do so as well.<br /><br />Needless to say they are not only hilarious but incredibly revealing.Mick Porknoreply@blogger.com
