ReplyDeleteThrough the tenacity of an Australian school teacher modern forensics has helped identify soldiers from World War 1. A lot of these soldiers were Australian and they went missing after the battles around Fromelles in France. The site was located from old aerial photographs taken in 1920-1921. Prof M.Cox is a scientific adviser. Three years ago she got involved in discovering who these soldiers were. She discovered personal effects including a signet ring engraved 'Love From Aunt Julie 1915'. The work will carry on until 2014 when funding's run out. She is hoping that she might discover who the soldiers were so they can be reconnected with their family's

ReplyDeleteextra, extra read all about this......
ReplyDeleteOn Tuesday the 15/11/11 a tiny valley school closed down as no pupil enrolled this September. Last September (2010) only three students enrolled. The local radio channel announced it on Tuesday morning. The school was an old one but this is not the reason it closed. A new road was built so people decided they would go to school someone else. the school was built in 1962 to replace an older one. the post-office near there had also been closed down.
my story is about a school that had no pupils! The school is in a place called Clonkeen which is located off the main Cork to Killarney road. No pupils have gone to this school sience it opened on Sept.first.The school has a principal however a Mr Denis O'sullivan. Another teacher who worked there was sent to work in a new school but the principal had to stay! In June this year the parish priest Fr Radley who is the chairman of the people who manage the school told the Department of Education that there were no boys or girls coming in September. He told them to close the school and send the principal to a new job. They didnt! The local radio mentioned the school with no pupils and people heard it. Now the school is closed! The priest said there were no boys or girls to go there because there are new road and building plans in tha area and the small town is `bypassed' now. In 2010 there were only three pupils in the school! P.S the three kids must have been popular!
