# USA-263

**USA-263**, or **Wideband Global SATCOM 7** (**WGS-7**) is a United States military communications satellite operated by the United States Air Force as part of the Wideband Global SATCOM programme. Launched in 2015, it was the seventh WGS satellite to reach orbit. It is stationed at a longitude of 135° West, in geostationary orbit. WGS-7 was procured by the United States Air Force.

## Overview

The WGS system is composed of three principal segments: Space Segment (satellites), Control Segment (operators) and Terminal Segment (users). Each WGS satellite provides service in multiple frequency bands, with the unprecedented ability to cross-band between the two frequencies on board the satellite. WGS augments other satellites.

In early 2001, a satellite communications industry team led by Boeing Satellite Systems was selected to develop the Wideband Gapfiller Satellite (WGS) system as successors to the Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) series of communications satellites. This satellite communications system is intended to support the warfighter with newer and far greater capabilities than provided by current systems. In March 2007, the acronym WGS was changed to Wideband Global SATCOM.

Just one WGS satellite provides more SATCOM capacity than the entire legacy Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) constellation.

WGS provides worldwide communications for the Department of Defense (DOD), governmental organizations and international partners.

## Satellite description

The order for long lead items for WGS-7 was placed in August 2010. The final contract for this satellite was awarded in September 2011, together with long lead items for WGS-8 and an option for WGS-9. Built by Boeing Satellite Systems, WGS-7 is based on the BSS-702HP satellite bus. It had a mass at launch of 5,987 kg (13,199 lb), and was expected to operate for fourteen years. The spacecraft is equipped with two solar panels to generate power for its communications payload, which consists of cross-band X-band and Ka-band transponders. Propulsion is provided by an R-4D-15 apogee motor, with four XIPS-25 ion engines for stationkeeping.

## Launch

WGS-7 was launched by United Launch Alliance (ULA), who placed it into orbit using a Delta IV M+ (5,4) launch vehicle, flight number D372. The launch took place from Space Launch Complex 37B (SLC-37B) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), with liftoff at 00:07 UTC on 24 July 2015. The launch was successful, placing the WGS-7 into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), from which the spacecraft raised itself into geostationary orbit using its onboard propulsion system. The satellite was designated USA-263 under the U.S. military's designation system, and received the International Designator 2015-036A and Satellite Catalog Number 40746.

# Türkan Rado

**Türkan Rado** (30 October 1915 – 3 March 2007) was a Turkish professor of jurisprudence specializing in Roman law at Istanbul University. She was the first ever female professor of law in Turkey.

## Biography

She was born on 30 October 1915 in Istanbul, then Ottoman Empire. Her father, Cevdet Ferit, was a lawyer and lecturer of criminal procedure at Darülfünun, in what is today Istanbul University; her mother was Ayşe Nikfal. She had two sisters, Şeküre and Gülgün.

She completed her primary and secondary education in Lycée Notre Dame de Sion Istanbul, and took the academic qualification Baccalauréat (diploma) in French and Turkish at Galatasaray High School. In 1933, she entered Istanbul University for legal education. She graduated from the faculty of law with honors in 1936.

She took the family name Basman when the Turkish Surname Law went into effect in 1934. In 1943, she married journalist and writer Şevket Rado (1913–1988), with whom she had a son, Mehmet. Their marriage lasted until the death of her spouse.

Türkan Rado died on 3 March 2007 at the age of 91 in a hospital in Istanbul three days into her hospitalization. She was interred at the Zincirlikuyu Cemetery following the religious funeral service held at Teşvikiye Mosque. She was survived by her son, Mehmet Rado, and grandson, Ömer Kerim Rado. She was the maternal aunt of Orhan Pamuk (born 1952), novelist, screenwriter, academic, and the first Turkish recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature (2006).

## Academic career

During her university education, she attracted the attention of her German professors Richard Honig (1890–1981) and Andreas Bertalan Schwarz (1886–1953) with her advanced knowledge of foreign language in French and Latin. After graduation from the university, they recommended her to the dean of the law faculty, Sıddık Sami Onar (1897–1972), for postgraduate studies, and she became the first Turkish female postgraduate student at a university in Turkey. In 1938, Türkan Basman received her Doctor of Jurisprudence degree with a thesis on *Senatus consultum Vellaeanum and Obligation Assume of Women in the Roman Empire*.

Following the leave of Honig in 1939, she worked with Schwartz serving as assistant and translator. She became Assistant professor with her thesis on *Senatus consultum Macedonianum and Pecuniary Debts of Family Children in the Roman Empire*, and was appointed lecturer of Roman Law on 5 June 1944. She then took lessons in Italian language. In 1950, Türkan Rado was sent by the faculty of law to Italy, where she conducted studies at the Institute for Roman and Mediterranean Law of the Sapienza University of Rome. Rado was appointed as the first ever female full professor at the faculty of law of Istanbul University. Her final post was as the head of the Chair of Roman Law. During her career, she taught thousands of jurists. She retired in 1982.

Rado published numerous scientific papers. Her book on *Roman Law – Law of obligations* (Roma Hukuku Dersleri *Borçlar Hukuku*) is being still used as a textbook at the university.

# Volunteer Defence Corps (Australia)

The **Volunteer Defence Corps** (VDC) was an Australian part-time volunteer military force of World War II modelled on the British Home Guard.

## History

The VDC was established in July 1940 by the Returned and Services League of Australia (RSL) and was initially composed of ex-servicemen who had served in World War I. The government took over control of the VDC in May 1941, and gave the organisation the role of training for guerrilla warfare, collecting local intelligence and providing static defence of each unit's home area. General Harry Chauvel, who had retired in 1930, was recalled to duty in 1940 and appointed Inspector-General of the VDC. Chauvel held this position until his death in March 1945.

Following the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Government expanded the VDC in February 1942. Membership was open to men aged between 18 and 60, including those working in reserved occupations. As a result, there were, by 1944, nearly 100,000 men in the VDC, organized into 111 battalions consisting of about 1,500 full-time personnel, over 30,000 part-time active members and over 43,000 part-time reserve members of the Volunteer Defence Corps.

As the perceived threat to Australia declined the VDC's role changed from static defence to operating anti-aircraft artillery, coastal artillery and searchlights. Members of inland VDC units were freed from having to attend regular training in May 1944 and the VDC was officially disbanded on 24 August 1945.

# Wittering, Cambridgeshire

**Wittering** is a village and civil parish in the City of Peterborough unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, England. The village is about 3 miles (5 km) south of the market town of Stamford in neighbouring Lincolnshire and about 9 miles (14 km) west of Peterborough's urban sprawl.

## History

The village of Wittering was first attested in 972 AD as Wiðering ige, the settlement of the people of Wiðer. The "people of Wiðer" are believed to be the same as the "Widerigga", named in the Tribal Hidage that was compiled between 600-900 AD. This territory comprised 600 hides, so may have consisted of most of Peterborough and possibly neighbouring areas of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 it comprised 44 households and was owned by the Abbey of Peterborough.

The Church of England parish church of All Saints was built between 950 - 981 AD. Surviving Anglo-Saxon parts of the building include the south wall of the nave, the east end of the chancel and the very substantial chancel arch.

As originally built the church would have had no aisles. In the middle of the 12th century a Norman north aisle was added, linked with the nave by a two-bay north arcade. The present south doorway of the nave, and the east and south windows of the chancel are late 13th century Decorated Gothic insertions. The ashlar west tower is late 13th or early 14th century. In the 14th century the north aisle was rebuilt and the north chapel was added. The north chapel has an early 14th-century tomb recess. The tall Perpendicular Gothic windows in the south wall of the nave were inserted later in the Middle Ages.

The south porch was added in the 19th century and the stained glass east window was made by C.E. Kempe in 1903. The vestry was added in 1969. Apart from the tower, the church is roofed with Collyweston stone slates. All Saints' is a Grade I listed building.

The west tower has a ring of six bells. The fourth bell was cast at Leicester in about 1399. The bellfounder Tobias III Norris of Stamford cast the third and fifth bells in 1681. John Taylor & Co of Loughborough cast the treble, second and tenor bells in 1974.

All Saints' parish is now part of a single benefice with the parishes of Barnack with Ufford, Bainton, and Helpston.

## RAF Wittering

In 1916 the Royal Flying Corps established a military airfield at Wittering. It became RAF Wittering in 1924 and was an important base for RAF Fighter Command in the Second World War.

In 1954 the airfield was enlarged and became a base for Handley Page Victors, which served as part of the UK's V bomber nuclear strike force until the 1960s and then as aerial refuelling tankers.

After RAF Strike Command was formed in 1968, RAF Wittering became "The Home of the Harrier". Since the UK withdrew its Harrier jump jets in 2010, RAF Wittering has been the base for a number of logistics and support units.

The **Witter House** is a historic house on Chaplin Street in Chaplin, Connecticut. Built in 1820–21, it is a high-quality and little-altered example of Federal period architecture executed in brick. It was home to the town's first town clerk, remaining in the Witter family until 1960. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

## Description and history

The Witter House is located in the roughly linear village of Chaplin, on the west side of Chaplin Street a short way south of its junction with Tower Hill Road. The 2+12-story brick structure is a late example of Georgian architecture. It is five bays wide, with paired chimneys at the ends of the hip roof. The centered entrance is flanked by arched sidelight windows and has a fanlight above. The fanlight detail is echoed by semi-elliptical fan louvers above each window. The roof has a monitor section at its center, an unusual feature not normally found in New England houses of the period. The interior retains many period features, including wide floorboards. There are seven fireplaces in the house, each with distinctively carved mantels. The two front parlors each feature a free-standing carved column.

The house was built in 1820-21 and owned by three generations of medical doctors all named Oren Witter. It was sold out of the family in 1960 to another medical doctor, F. Brae Rafferty. The first Oren Witter also served as the first town clerk for Chaplin, after it was incorporated in 1822.

title: Pink Dream

abstract: A Dream in Pink, also known as Pink Dream, is a 1932 Chinese silent film and an early film by director Cai Chusheng. A melodrama, the film's pointed critique of the decadent urban lifestyle was nevertheless met with criticism by Shanghai's progressives, who regarded the film itself as decadent and excessively influenced by American cinema, particularly the film's numerous scenes of Shanghai's dance halls. Today the film is generally regarded as Cai's last film before his turn towards more overtly leftist films. It is sometimes translated as A Dream in Pink. An extant print of the film is maintained by the China Film Archives. An English translation of the film, from the Chinese Film Classics Project, is available on YouTube.

# Pink Dream

***A** **Dream in** **Pink*** (Chinese: 粉红色的梦/粉紅色的夢; pinyin: *Fěn hóng sè de mèng*), also known as *Pink Dream*, is a 1932 Chinese silent film and an early film by director Cai Chusheng. A melodrama, the film's pointed critique of the decadent urban lifestyle was nevertheless met with criticism by Shanghai's progressives, who regarded the film itself as decadent and excessively influenced by American cinema, particularly the film's numerous scenes of Shanghai's dance halls. Today the film is generally regarded as Cai's last film before his turn towards more overtly leftist films.

It is sometimes translated as *A Dream in Pink*. An extant print of the film is maintained by the China Film Archives. An English translation of the film, from the Chinese Film Classics Project, is available on YouTube.

## Plot

*A Dream in Pink* tells the story of a young novelist who is supported by a loving and hard-working wife. The novelist, however, is drawn to the decadent life of a socialite who introduces him to the dance halls that dot Shanghai. As the film progresses, the novelist soon learns of the emptiness of this urban existence and rejects it as a "pink dream." He takes up with a socialite, who ends up draining his finances and being a bad step-mother to his daughter. The cast-off wife, who moves to the countryside, hears of his financial distress and pens a gut-wrenching novel, which she submits to a publisher under his name. When the novelist, after receiving a windfall, learns of the truth, he seeks out and is reconciled with his wife, and their daughter sings a song to celebrate the reunion.

title: Harold A. Henry

abstract: Harold A. Henry was a community newspaper publisher who was elected to the Los Angeles City Council in 1945 and was its president for four terms from 1947 to 1962.

text:
# Harold A. Henry

**Harold A. Henry** (October 20, 1895 – May 1, 1966) was a community newspaper publisher who was elected to the Los Angeles City Council in 1945 and was its president for four terms from 1947 to 1962.

## Biography

Henry was born October 20, 1895, in Virginia City, Nevada, and went to school in Reno and at the University of Nevada. After being discharged from service in World War I, he became a reporter on the *Los Angeles Examiner,* and in 1925 he established a community newspaper, the *Wilshire Press,* which he edited and published until 1941. During this time he helped reorganize the Western Avenue Business Association into the Wilshire Chamber of Commerce in 1937 and was its secretary-manager until 1950.

He died May 1, 1966, after a lengthy illness. He was survived by his wife, June, whom he had married in 1965. His first wife, Marie, died in 1963. He was also survived by a daughter, Mary Uglow. He lived at 112 S. Lucerne Avenue in Windsor Square at West First Street. Funeral services were conducted at Wilshire Methodist Church, and interment was at Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier.

He bequeathed $50,000 and all his personal effects to his wife June and stated that "prior provisions" had been made for her. He gave $5,000 to his housekeeper and $10,000 to his secretary. Two nephews of his first wife were left $5,000 each. Real property was left to his daughter, and the remainder of the estate was placed in trust, to be paid to his daughter at $1,000 a month.

## Public service

### Commissions

In 1938 Mayor Fletcher Bowron appointed him to the city's Playground and Recreation Commission. He served until 1945 and was commission president for four years. He was later a member of the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission.

### City Council

#### Elections

Henry ran for the Los Angeles City Council District 4 seat of retiring Councilman Robert L. Burns in 1945 and was elected in the final vote. In every contest thereafter through 1959 he was reelected in the primary election.

In 1955 the district included much of the Wilshire district and in general was bounded by Fountain Avenue, Wilshire Boulevard, Fairfax Avenue and Catalina Street.

Henry also ran unsuccessfully for Los Angeles County supervisor in 1958.

#### Presidency

Henry was president of the City Council for four two-year terms, beginning 1947, 1949, 1951 and 1961. As such he was acting mayor when the mayor was out of the state. His first term resulted from a closed meeting by the City Council at the Jonathan Club, when nine of fifteen council members voted to seat him in place of the then-president, George H. Moore.

As acting mayor he was responsible for issuing many special declarations, including:

* **Brotherhood Week.** "The cornerstone of American democracy rests on brotherhood and understanding among the Protestants, Catholics and Jews of our nation," he said in February 1950.
* **Free Football for Kids Week,** when he posed for a photo with children of Los Angeles Rams coaches in October 1951.
* ***My L.A.* Week.** In honor of the opening of a new musical based upon the popular newspaper columns of Matt Weinstock, December 1951.
* **Hungarian Freedom Fighters Day.** Memorializing October 23, 1956, when Hungarians began "a short-lived revolt against their Communist overlords."

Henry ordered the temporary cessation of monthly air raid alarm testing during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis at the request of the California Disaster Council, to avoid public panic.

#### Positions

**Un-American, 1952.** Henry and Council Members Kenneth Hahn, Earle D. Baker and J. Win Austin attended a dinner meeting in South Gate to honor the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

**Timberlake, 1953.** Henry was in dispute with Council Member L.E. Timberlake over many issues, including a controversial $1 million plan to build public housing in Los Angeles (Timberlake favoring and Henry opposing), with Timberlake disputing many of Henry's rulings from the chair. One of them upset Henry so much that in January 1953 he was led to exclaim, "Mr. Timberlake, if you persist in this intolerable situation, there will be ways devised to prevent you!"

**West Hollywood, 1957.** He was instrumental in assuring that the city of Los Angeles remained neutral in a 1957 proposal by West Hollywood residents to incorporate as a city.

**Dodgers, 1958.** Henry was one of the three council members—Patrick D. McGee and John C. Holland being the others—who voted in 1958 against a proposal to turn Chavez Ravine over to the Los Angeles Dodgers for use as a baseball stadium.

**Teachers, 1959.** He was active in work of the Senior League, sponsor of the annual Teachers Remembrance Day.

**Sanitation, 1961.** He had a separate, $100-a-month position as city representative on the County Sanitation District, to which he reappointed himself in July 1961. That pay was in addition to his salary of $12,000 as a council member.

**Human relations, 1964.** After a heated City Council debate, Henry voted with the prevailing side in rejecting calls for the establishment of a separate city Human Relations Commission. The majority decided instead to maintain city membership in a similar county agency.

## Legacy

Henry was active in the development and beautification of Wilshire Boulevard and the Miracle Mile. After Henry's death, Mayor Samuel W. Yorty said of the Wilshire District, "Perhaps no man in the past quarter of a century contributed as much to its growth and development as Hal Henry, \[who\] devoted all of his energies to still more projects to enhance the beauty and economic posture of one of the nation's most magnificent thoroughfares."

Council President L.E. Timberlake burst into tears as he began a eulogy of Henry at a council session and could not continue. Erwin Baker, a *Los Angeles Times* City Hall reporter, recalled that Henry was a "quiet debater on the council floor" who "could cut to the heart of an issue with his dry humor and intimate knowledge of parliamentary procedure."

In January 1967, a six-story office building at 500 Shatto Place was dedicated to Henry's memory, with a plaque calling him a "servant of the people, Wilshire Center District." He is memorialized with a city park bearing his name at 890 South Lucerne Avenue, with a children's play area and a picnic area.

title: Rock Me Gently (Erasure song)

abstract: "Rock Me Gently" is a song by English synth-pop duo Erasure. It was written by group members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, and appears on their seventh studio album, Erasure (1995). Mute Records released it in February 1996 as a single in selected European countries, including Germany and Czech Republic. It was not released in the UK or the US. In its album form, the song is an extended, ten-plus minutes mid-tempo synth ballad with ambient elements and a free-form vocal performance by American singer Diamanda Galás, during the song's breakdown. Bell's lead vocals were accentuated by the London Community Gospel Choir, who sang background. "Rock Me Gently" was significantly altered for its single release, adding a radio-friendly drum track to the mix and editing out most of the Galás interlude. An extended version of this mix was included on the CD single, retaining the Galás section while keeping the new instrumentation.

# Rock Me Gently (Erasure song)

"**Rock Me Gently**" is a song by English synth-pop duo Erasure. It was written by group members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, and appears on their seventh studio album, *Erasure* (1995). Mute Records released it in February 1996 as a single in selected European countries, including Germany and Czech Republic. It was not released in the UK or the US. In its album form, the song is an extended, ten-plus minutes mid-tempo synth ballad with ambient elements and a free-form vocal performance by American singer Diamanda Galás, during the song's breakdown. Bell's lead vocals were accentuated by the London Community Gospel Choir, who sang background (as they did on previous Erasure single "Stay with Me"). "Rock Me Gently" was significantly altered for its single release, adding a radio-friendly drum track to the mix and editing out most of the Galás interlude. An extended version of this mix was included on the CD single, retaining the Galás section while keeping the new instrumentation.

## Critical reception

Ned Raggett from AllMusic noted the "gentle shimmer" of the song, adding that Diamanda Galas "delivers haunting solo turns". In his review of *Erasure*, Steve Baltin from *Cash Box* felt that particularly the "soothing" ten-minute track, finds Erasure displaying its softer side." Caroline Sullivan from *The Guardian* found that songs like the "adventurous" "Rock Me Gently" "are made interesting by the whale-noise vocals of Diamanda Galas, whose services should be retained for the next album." Chris Gerard from *Metro Weekly* stated, "It's a perfect ballad, performed with incredible sweetness by Bell over Vince Clarke's gorgeous keyboard lines. It's one of the duo's most sublime recordings". *Music Week* wrote, "Full choral backing and ambient textures provide the album's most adventurous moments, which feature the unique vocals of Diamanda Galas."

Paul Moody from *NME* said, "Starting off as a candy-coloured rush of electronics around Andy's lovesick vocal it drifts off into ambient tranceville and threatens never to come back. A storm appears to break out deep in hyper-space; an opera singer trills somewhere to the left to Saturn, then a drum machine whirrs and the song bleeps dreamily back to life. It's like a ten-minute electro-pop equivalent of *Flatliners*." A reviewer from *People Magazine* commented, "Thanks to an emphasis on gorgeous torch tunes like 'Rock Me Gently' and 'Stay with Me', lead singer Andy Bell's always operatic vocals take on a newfound luster". Darren Lee from *The Quietus* felt it "remain \[a\] serviceable enough" ballad, "but lack the pizzazz and charm of earlier releases." Troy J. Augusto from *Variety* declared it as "a sweet ballad".

## Music video

A black-and-white music video was produced to promote the single, features Bell singing a duet with a Marilyn Monroe look-alike. It was directed by Max Abbiss-Biro and later made available on Erasure's official YouTube channel in September 2014.

# Robert Lee Bullard

Lieutenant General **Robert Lee Bullard** (January 5, 1861 – September 11, 1947) was a senior officer of the United States Army. He was involved in conflicts in the American Western Frontier, the Philippines, and World War I, where he commanded the 1st Infantry Division (nicknamed "The Big Red One") during the Battle of Cantigny while serving on the Western Front. He later was an administrator in Cuba.

## Military career

A native of Alabama, Bullard attended the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, now Auburn University, and the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, New York, graduated twenty-seventh in a class of thirty-nine in 1885. Among his classmates included several officers who would become future general officers, such as Beaumont B. Buck, Joseph E. Kuhn, Henry P. McCain, Robert Michie, George W. Burr, John D. Barrette, John M. Carson Jr., Robert A. Brown, Charles H. Muir, William F. Martin, Daniel B. Devore and Willard A. Holbrook.

He was promoted to first lieutenant in 1892. He served in various capacities in the Spanish–American War, and in the Philippines from 1902 to 1904. He was made lieutenant colonel in 1906. In 1907, he was special investigator for the U.S. provisional government in Cuba, and the following year was superintendent of public instruction there. In 1911, he was promoted to colonel. He attended the U.S. Army War College from 1911 to 1912.

### Bullard's Indians

The 39th Volunteer Infantry was unit of United States Volunteers raised to fight in the Philippine–American War. Bullard was promoted to colonel and given command of the unit. It was nicknamed the "Bullard's Indians" due to the type of tactics the unit employed.

### World War I

After the American entry into World War I, in April 1917, Bullard was quickly promoted to brigadier general (June 1917) and major general in the National Army (August 1917). He took over command of the 1st Infantry Division ("Big Red One") from William L. Sibert, holding this post from December 1917 to July 1918. The division was then serving in France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), commanded by General John J. Pershing.

He led his division in the Battle of Cantigny (May 28, 1918) and captured the village of Cantigny. It had been held by the German Eighteenth Army. It was the site of a German advance observation point and strongly fortified. This was the first sustained American offensive of the war. It was considered a success in that it expanded the American front by about a mile. General Pershing said of the attack:

> The enemy reaction against our troops at Cantigny was extremely violent, and apparently he was determined at all costs to counteract the most excellent effect the American success had produced. For three days his guns of all calibers were concentrated on our new position and counter-attack succeeded counter-attack. The desperate efforts of the Germans gave the fighting at Cantigny a seeming tactical importance entirely out of proportion to the numbers involved."

Bullard was fluent in French and often served in joint U.S.–French operations. He also held a low opinion of Black American troops, writing in his diary that they were "hopelessly inferior." Historian Tyler E. Stovall described this view as part of a tradition of white U.S. military officers ascribing any failings on the part of African-American soldiers to "innate racial inadequacies".

General Pershing created the Second U.S. Army in October 1918 and appointed Bullard as its first commander with the rank of lieutenant general. At the same time he turned over command of the U.S. First Army to Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett. Pershing retained his position as commander of the AEF with authority over both of the armies.

Bullard's military actions have also been subject to criticism. In the Battle of Montfaucon, Bullard reportedly refused orders to turn the flank of the German troops with his 4th Division as he did not want to help Major General George H. Cameron, commander of V Corps, get credit for taking the German fortress at Montfaucon. Due to his alleged disobedience or deliberate misinterpretation of orders, the 79th Division, part of Cameron's V Corps, had no support to their right and suffered unnecessarily severe casualties as they performed a frontal attack on the fortress. Additionally, Bullard continued to conduct offensive operations, with full knowledge that the Armistice with Germany was due to take effect in a few hours, was criticized by Alden Brooks in his post-war account of the war, *As I Saw It* (1930).

For his services during the war Bullard was awarded the Army Distinguished Service Medal, the citation for which reads:

> The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Army Distinguished Service Medal to Lieutenant General Robert Lee Bullard, United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services to the Government of the United States, in a duty of great responsibility during World War I. In the course of this war, General Bullard commanded in turn the first American division to take its place in the front lines in France, the 3d Corps, and the Second Army. He participated in operations in reduction of the Marne salient and in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. He was in command of the Second Army when the German resistance west of the Meuse was shattered.

### Post war

The Second Army was deactivated in April 1919 and Bullard reverted to his permanent rank of major general in June 1920. He was assigned to corps command in the much smaller post war U.S. Army. He retired from active duty in 1925 to concentrate on writing. He served as last president of the National Security League from 1925 until he disbanded it in 1947.

Bullard wrote *American Soldiers Also Fought* in 1936.

He died on September 11, 1947, at the age of 86. Bullard is buried at the U.S. Military Academy Post Cemetery, with his wife Ella (Reiff) Bullard (5 November 1870 to 3 March 1963).

## Writing

He was author of the following books:

* *Personalities and Reminiscences of the War*, New York: Doubleday Page, 1925. ISBN 0-7661-9742-5
* *American Soldiers also Fought*, New York: Longmans, Green and Co., 1936. OCLC 2854191

Bullard also wrote several magazine articles.

title: Robert Wikeford

# Robert Wikeford

**Robert Wikeford** or **de Wikeford** (c.1320 – 29 August 1390) was an English-born diplomat, lawyer and judge, who became Lord Chancellor of Ireland and Archbishop of Dublin.

## Early career

He was born at Wickford in Essex, a member of the de Wickford or Wykeford family who are said to have been Lords of the Manor of Wickford Hall. He was a fellow of Merton College, Oxford c.1340/1, and on his death bequeathed the College his altar cloths. He was awarded a doctorate of law before 1368. He became a clerk in the English Chancery, and was appointed Archdeacon of Winchester in 1368.

He was clearly a man of considerable diplomatic and military ability, and was entrusted by King Edward III with a number of diplomatic missions, notably to Count Louis II of Flanders, Joanna, Duchess of Brabant and King Peter IV of Aragon. In 1373 he was made Constable of Bordeaux and then joined with the Seneschal in the government of Aquitaine. The King referred to Wikeford as "our beloved clerk", and he is described as Doctor of both laws (i.e canon and common law).

O'Flanagan records that in 1375 the royal judges in Aquitaine, Sir Guy de Bryan and Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March, in a lawsuit brought by Ivo Beausteau against Wikeford, gave judgement against him without hearing him in his own defence and imposed financial penalties of great severity on him. Wikeford appealed to the King in Council, and the King immediately ordered the judgement to be cancelled. This episode suggests that Wikeford, though a valued Crown servant, was not popular.

He was also sued by another Royal clerk called Thomas, who obtained a judgement against him for £10 (a large sum in the fourteenth century) shortly before his translation to Dublin. To Wikeford's embarrassment, Thomas was permitted to issue a writ to distrain any lands held by the Archbishop in Ireland in satisfaction of the judgment.

## Irish career

In 1375, on the death of Thomas Minot, Wickford was elected Archbishop of Dublin by the Dean and Chapter of St Patrick's Cathedral, as was then the normal practice, and a year later he was made Lord Chancellor of Ireland. In 1378 the Crown ordered payment to him of his arrears of salary as Chancellor in the amount of £10, part payment of a full year's salary of £40. An identical order was made the following year.

O'Flanagan believes (despite the lack of written records for this period) that he was a gifted and conscientious Chancellor. In addition to his judicial business, he undertook a vast range of official duties, including the holding of a Parliament at Castledermot. As was customary for the Archbishopric of Dublin, he was granted the manor of Swords, north of Dublin, and the right to hold a fair there. In 1378 he complained that Sir Nicholas Dagworth, the official sent to govern Ireland on the recall of Sir William de Windsor, had unjustly deprived him of his manor of Swords, on an obscure legal pretext: eventually, Wikeford recovered the manor. He also held Kindlestown Castle in Delgany, County Wicklow.

In 1381 he arranged for the grant of a clerical subsidy by the Irish clergy. He presided over the session of Parliament which was held at Naas in 1382/3, whose members urged him to remain in Ireland, where they would have the benefit of his wisdom and experience. The following year he visited England on official business concerning his archdiocese, and to brief the Council on Irish affairs. He delivered what has been described as "a typically apocalyptic prediction of doom" on the threat to the English of the Pale from their Gaelic enemies.

He ceased to be Chancellor about 1385, due it was said to his bitter quarrels with the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Sir Philip Courtenay, and with the powerful Butler dynasty, headed by James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond, himself a former Lord Lieutenant. Courtenay complained about Wikeford to the King. Unlike his grandfather Edward III, Richard did not especially value Wikeford's services to the Crown, and censured him severely for exceeding his powers. The origins of the feud between Ormond and Wikeford are not entirely clear, although Wikeford had already clashed with the Butlers, whose power and influence he apparently resented, and with Sir Nicholas Dagworth, the special Crown representative sent to Dublin in 1378 to assume temporary executive powers and to inquire into maladministration by the Dublin government. The ill feeling between Wikeford and Dagworth ended in bloodshed. Wikeford also complained to the Privy Council that Dagworth had unjustly seized the manor of Swords, which had been granted to Wikeford by the Crown for life and was the heart of the Archbishop's traditional estates. As for Courtenay, he had a reputation for being rash, hot-tempered and temperamental, and from what we know about Wikeford he seems to have been rather similar in character.

As he aged, his duties as Primate became increasingly onerous. As early as 1383 he petitioned the Crown to be allowed to return to England, but was refused, on the ground that due to his knowledge of Irish affairs, his services were still required there, a point also made by the Irish Parliament at Naas. He was in England during the crisis year 1387, when the King and his opponents moved towards armed conflict, and attended the Great Council summoned by the King at Nottingham. Despite their past differences, he showed himself in this crisis to be a firm supporter of the King.

In 1390 he was given leave to return to England for a year in the hope of improving his health, but he died in England on 29 August of that year.

## Character

O'Flanagan praises him as a wise and learned judge and a man of great ability, and Willis gives a similarly favourable verdict. As Archbishop he was praised as being active and judicious in his management of the See of Dublin. However, the summary judgment given against him in the Aquitanian lawsuit, without Wikeford being allowed to speak in his own defence, suggests that he had influential enemies. As Lord Chancellor his quarrels with the Lord Lieutenant, the special envoy Nicholas Dagworth and the Earl of Ormond earned him a severe rebuke from King Richard II. The feud with Dagworth ended in a riot in which a man was killed, although there is no evidence that Wikeford was personally involved. As Archbishop he showed the harsher side of his character by expelling all beggars from his diocese in 1376, despite protests that many of them, so far from being "idle vagabonds", had worked hard on the restoration of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, in the time of Wikeford's predecessor Thomas Minot.
