Anyone who says so is probably just jealous of how successful they were, right?Ģ) “Quit my job, quit my school / Quit this place / My mother cried / My father was fried / Hey, I've got no time, man / I wanna say goodbye to my babes / I like girls.”ģ) Seems self-explanatory: You won’t fool the children of the revolution!Ĥ) Yeah, he heard the werewolf one first, but Will likes the globe-trotting romance of this song about a Norwegian mercenary killed by the CIA for being too good at helping rebellions out. But, at heart, is this not a rather flattering nickname, very “Louis XIV” and royal? In the army, it has long been a custom to give nicknames highlighting physical traits, occasionally also psychological ones or provincial origins.ġ) Edinburgh’s 1970s teen sensations! Though the decade ended in splits and unpopularity, Will is fiercely loyal to when he first heard of them (probably in the wake of his mum’s death) and won’t hear anyone say it’s childish to like them. It is without doubt in this period of happy frivolity that the nickname "Beausoleil" sticks to him: an allusion to his round, glowing face framed by reddish-blond curls, recalling the symbolic representation of the sun in the form of a disc surrounded by flames? He will later feel embarrassed by the nickname, which will remain with him in the army. Claude makes them dance to his violin and clarinet. Naturally musicians of their regiment create the musical atmosphere. When they are not on leave, the officers organise parties at each other’s homes. This garrison town offers its sunshine and entertainment for young men full of life and hope. And then he sees the country… After having been in garrison in Picardy, he follows his regiment to Valence, under the skies of Dauphiné, milder than that of Lorraine, but in a province which was then in agitation and where the revolution started. He knows now that this must be his true calling. We can assume that Claude did not regret change of lifestyle. Mais, au fond, n’est-ce pas plutôt un surnom flatteur, très «Louisquatorzieme» et royal? Dans l’armée, c’est depuis longtemps un habitude de donner des surnoms mettant en évidence les traits physiques, parfois aussi psychologiques ou les origines provinciales. C’est sans doute de cette période d’heureuse insouciance que lui est resté le surnom de «Beausoleil»: allusion à sa mine épanouie auréolée de boucles d’un blond-roux qui rappelle la représentation symbolique du soleil sous forme d’un disque entouré de flammèches? Il ressentira plus tard un sentiment d’embarras vis-à-vis de ce surnom qui lui restera dans l’armée. Claude les fait danser au son du violon et de la clarinette. Naturellement les musiciens de leur régiment créent l’ambiance musicale. Quand ils ne sont pas en congé, les officiers organisent des fêtes chez les uns et les autres. Cette ville de garnison lui offre son soleil et les distractions de jeunes hommes pleins de vie et d’espoir. Et puis il voit du pays… Après avoir été en garnison en Picardie, il suit son régiment à Valence, sous les cieux du Dauphiné, plus cléments que ceux de la Lorraine, mais dans un province alors agitée et d’où partira la Révolution. Il connaît maintenant ce qui doit être pour lui la vraie vie. On peut penser que Claude ne regrette pas ce changement de vie. It was published just a few months after the successful boycott of SS Jolly George, a ship carrying arms to be used to fight against the Russian revolution. Pankhurst was also a leading light of the Hands Off Russia! campaign, and the article 'The Yellow Peril and the Dockers' urged workers not to load ships supplying arms to anti-communist forces. They were based on a letter from a young Navy rating called Springhill and published under the pseudonym S.000 (Gunner), and an article on racism entitled 'The Yellow Peril and the Dockers', written by Claude McKay under the pseudonym Leon Lopez. On this day, 19 October 1920, Sylvia Pankhurst was arrested and charged under Regulation 42 of the Defence of the Realm Act with attempting to cause sedition in the navy by editing and publishing two articles in the October 16 issue of the newspaper 'The Workers' Dreadnought' - 'Discontent on the Lower Deck'.
