Organised by the Royal Naval Division Association, a party of survivors of the Gallipoli campaign and their friends, left on the Duchess of Richmond last Friday for a cruise to the scene of those disastrous operations. I learn that among the passenger list there are several local names, among them being Captain and Mrs R. Ford. Captain Ford is an elder brother of Hull Trinity House, and a member o... »
SIR,—Having spent a weekend in Belgium, I have just arrived home. I went out in the N.E.R. Wilson liner s.s. Hull, Capt. Ford, who is one of our most experienced continental traders, and a navigator you feel safe to take a sea trip with. During our passage back to Hull, Captain W. Ford told me that he and all his crew were made prisoners of war along with the ship, and he and the crew spent four y... »

IT IS SOMETIMES SAID that if you want to know about any places or things of interest in a city then you must ask a stranger. But this is definitely not the case as far as Coun. Mrs Eva Beecroft is concerned, as members of Hull Women’s Luncheon Club discovered yesterday when she spoke to them about Hull’s treasures. She took them on such a vivid imaginary tour of Wilberforce House, Trin... »

COUN. Mrs Eva Beecroft was hurrying along the corridor with a batch of papers under her arm. I thought how long it seemed since she had last been seen in WVS uniform. Occasionally she puts in an appearance at the British Legion or the Women’s Legion or the Women’s Luncheon Club, but for the most part Mrs Beecroft is busy with Corporation committees. However, she is managing to combine ... »

![‘Teas Provided’ by Norrey Ford [Housewife magazine, Aug 1946]](http://wildwaters.org/wp-content/uploads/Housewife-magazine-August-1945-thumb-120x120.png)
Norrey Ford discovers Britain in the pleasantest way Like Napoleon’s army, my memory marches on its stomach. A sniff of baking day, and I am miles away in time and space, and itching to rummage out two scuffed pairs of walking shoes. Towards four o’clock one of us would say ‘Isn’t it about tea-time?’ and we’d look out for one of those boards, home-painted in str... »
