1912

On page 15 of Votes for Women - Friday 15 March 1912
is this

On page 6 is a report which begins

The atmosphere on Thursday evening at the London Opera House (two days after the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Pethick Lawrence) was electric with that undaunted spirit which in this Union never dissipates in emotion, but is translated into action. The blow that had fallen on the Union through the arrest of its leaders had made its friends rally in full force, and the huge house was packed from floor to ceiling with an audience of men and women entirely sympathetic and absolutely unwavering in confidence and loyalty, who stood up in a body to applaud and cheer the speakers. Outside, the seething of the crowd and the trampling of the mounted police ; inside, perfect quiet, except for the cheering and applause.

From the front page we learn that Votes for Women was edited by Frederick and Emmeline Pethick Lawrence, appeared weekly and cost 1d (or 1½d by post).

It was an exciting time for the paper. On page 1:

Meantime, the other leader roams the earth, the ocean, or the air. Without being in the least like a Boojum, Miss Christabel Pankhurst has silently vanished away, and none knows whither, least of all the eminent detectives of Scotland Yard. Fond of hunting as the British people are, it is a peculiar thing that their sympathy is almost always with the fugitive, and we doubt if Sherlock Holmes himself would have a chance for their favour against a successful Vanishing Lady. So day by day, as the police went searching the British Isles, enquiring with simple guile at the residence of every noted Suffragist in the kingdom, the interest grew with laughter.

Wikipedia:
Boojum - A fictional animal species in Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark; a particularly dangerous kind of snark
The narrative follows a crew of ten trying to hunt the Snark, a creature which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum. The only crew member to find the Snark quietly vanishes, leading the narrator to explain that the Snark was a Boojum after all.

Thank you so much for posting this! Moïse le 1er Lessard ('Moses 1') was my great-great grandfather. He donated land in Flinton to the Catholic Church. His land is where St. John The Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, it's cemetery and manse now stand. His portrait is on display in the "Lessard Room" at St. John The Evangelist.

Patrick MacGill (24 December 1889 – 22 November 1963) was an Irish journalist, poet and novelist, known as "The Navvy Poet" because he had worked as a navvy before he began writing.

Regarding his military service and work at the referenced MI7 (b)

MI7 (b) - foreign and domestic propaganda, including press releases concerning army matters.

A.A. Milne, author of Winnie the Pooh, was wounded at the Somme and also worked in MI7 (b) as did Lord Dunsany, a fantasy author and prolific writer, after the Easter Rising.

From the wiki article above -
"MacGill was born in Glenties, County Donegal. A statue in his honour is on the bridge where the main street crosses the river in Glenties. ..."
