# Francis Storrs

Francis Edmund Storrs (1883 – 10/11 November 1918) was a British academic and intelligence agent. He was the younger brother of Arabist and colonial administrator Sir Ronald Storrs.
He was educated at Radley College from 1897 to 1902, and then at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he received a BA; he won scholarships at both institutions He was a professor at Elphinstone College in Bombay in 1908, and then at Rangoon College in 1912.
He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1911. On 28 November 1912, he married Catherine Josephine Schiff (d. 1956 Dec. quarter, Westminster).
During the First World War, he initially worked for the civil service in matters concerned with supplying Russia; he was awarded the Russian Order of St. Anne for this service. In 1916-17 he served with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in Greece with the rank of Lieutenant, then in 1917 with the Secret Intelligence Service in the Aegean. At the time, large areas of Greece were effectively under Allied military occupation, nominally controlled by the Venizelist government. Storrs was responsible for the passport control and port control of some thirty islands in the Cyclades, and in effect for all counter-espionage work in this area.
He suffered the unusual indignity, in May 1917, of losing his front teeth to his own gunfire; whilst test-firing a surplus three-pounder gun they had mounted to a yacht, he ignored a warning to remove his pipe, and the recoil knocked out two teeth.
He worked under Compton Mackenzie, who left a favourable portrait of him in Ægean Memories (p. 25):
       ...without [Storrs], whatever fruits our work in the Cyclades bore could never have been achieved. Virgil and Horace spoke at his summons, and he commanded all the elegance of light verse that is the Cambridge man's prerogative.
       His conscientiousness was almost excessive. Night after night he would be working on the files of his office until two or three in the morning after a hard day's work of almost incessant worrying interviews. He was a martyr to bad headaches, but I never heard him give way to more than a weary groan of expostulation when human folly or vice was seeming unendurable any longer. I can never repay Francis Storrs in this world for his personal loyalty and devoted service.
In the autumn of 1917 he left Athens, and moved back to London, where he was in residence in May 1918. He died in Chelsea, of the Spanish flu, on the 10th or 11 November 1918. Sources vary; it is likely he died at some point in the night, and did not live to see the Armistice. A bell at Rochester Cathedral, where his father was Dean, was dedicated in his memory in 1921, as was a French prize at Radley College.
# 20th Uhlan Regiment of King Jan III Sobieski

20th Uhlan Regiment of King Jan III Sobieski (Polish: 20 Pułk Ułanów im. Króla Jana III Sobieskiego, 20 puł) was a cavalry unit of the Polish Army in the Second Polish Republic. Formed in 1920, it was stationed in the garrison of Rzeszów. During the 1939 Invasion of Poland, it was part of Kresowa Cavalry Brigade. The unit continued the traditions of the 20th Uhlan Regiment of the Duchy of Warsaw, which fought in the 1812 French invasion of Russia.
In early summer 1920 in Ostrołęka, the 108th Uhlan Regiment was formed under command of Colonel Dymitr Radziwilowicz. It consisted of four cavalry squadrons, and had 19 officers, 780 soldiers, 800 horses and 16 wagons. Armed with either Austrian or German weapons, the regiment was made of both fresh recruits, and veterans of World War I, mostly from Austro-Hungarian Army.
In mid-1920, at the peak of the Polish–Soviet War, the regiment was attached to the 8th Cavalry Brigade, which in the area of Ostrołęka opposed Soviet Cavalry Corps of Hayk Bzhishkyan. The 108th Uhlan Regiment set on its first patrol on July 20, 1920, fighting against the advancing enemy in Nowogród. On August 5, it was sent to recapture Łomża, but its 2nd Squadron was surrounded by the Soviets near the village of Kuleszka: two officers and 50 uhlans were KIA.
In early August 1920, Polish defensive line was formed along the Narew and the rail line from Ostrołęka to Łomża. The uhlans of the 108th Regiment fought with distinction near Nowy Dwor and Zabiele, losing 150 KIA / WIA. On August 14, the regiment attacked Ciechanów, capturing 513 POWs near Glinojeck. The unit entered Ciechanów on the next day, and then was ordered to prevent the retreat of enemy forces near Mława.
During the 1939 Invasion of Poland, the 20th Uhlan Regiment of King Jan III Sobieski was part of Kresowa Cavalry Brigade. Surrounded by the Wehrmacht near Psary, it capitulated on September 11.

## Commandants

* Colonel Dymitr Radziwiłłowicz (VII – VIII 1920[4])

The regimental flag, funded by the residents of the Lands of Rzeszów and Ropczyce, was handed to the unit on October 11, 1921, by General Tadeusz Rozwadowski. It featured the names of locations of the 1920 war: Ostrołęka, Nowy Dwor, Zabiele, Rudnia Baranowska, Biskupiec.
The badge, approved in 1924, featured the Maltese cross and royal crown with inscription I3R (Ioannus Tercius Rex).

# Beclabito Formation

The Beclabito Formation is a late Jurassic sedimentary geologic formation, found in northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona.

## Description

The formation is composed mostly of thinly bedded sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone which is reddish-orange to reddish-brown in color. The sandstone is very fine to medium grained and displays ripple crossbedding, trough crossbedding, and horizontal laminations. The siltstones are reddish-brown and show wavy laminations. The formation is 108 feet (33 m) thick. The formation conformably overlies the Todilto Formation and conformably underlies the Bluff Formation.
The formation is interpreted as having been deposited in a marginal marine or coastal sabkha environment.

## Investigative history

The formation was first named by S.M. Condon and H.C. Huffman, Jr., as the Beclabito Member of the Wanakah Formation. The beds making up the formation were previously assigned to the Summerville Formation on the basis of similar lithology and stratigraphic position, and on the similarity of the Curtis Formation that underlies the Summerville Formation to the Todilto Formation that underlies the Beclabito beds, but the correlation is questionable. Steven M. Cather concurred with reassigning the beds from the Summerville to the Beclabito, which he also proposed raising to formation rank. Cather pointed out that the Curtis appears to be younger than the Todilto, calling into question the correlation between the overlying Summerville and Beclabito beds, and that there are significant lithological differences between the Summerville and the Beclabito.

# Frank Geere Howard

Frank Geere Howard (3 March 1861 – 14 July 1935) was a Municipal Reform Party politician in the United Kingdom. He was a member of the London County Council from 1926 to 1934.

## Early life

Howard was born in Hampstead, London in 1861, the son of George Howard and his wife Emily (née Geere). His father and grandfather, John Tabor Howard, were upholsterers, practising under the name of Howard & Sons Ltd. Howard wound-up the company in 1935, shortly before his death. Howard qualified as a civil engineer in 1879.

## Political career

Howard was Mayor of Hampstead Borough Council on three occasions: 1921-22, 1923-24 and 1924-25.
In 1926 there was a casual vacancy for Hampstead on the London County Council following the resignation of Sir Andrew Taylor, and Howard was elected unopposed, as a member of the Municipal Reform Party. He was re-elected in 1928 and 1931. He did not seek re-election in 1934.
In 1921 (the centenary of the death of John Keats) Howard was responsible for the fund-raising activities that allowed Keats' House to be acquired by Hampstead Council. He was one of the original owners of the house in 1921 (then known as Lawn Bank) when it was taken into public ownership. He was also responsible for the acquisition by the London County Council of Kenwood and the Paddock, adding them to the public open spaces of Hampstead Heath.

## Personal life

Howard married Feona Mary Duport Wren (1862-1931) (the daughter of the Liberal / Progressive politician Walter Wren and his first wife, Eliza (née Cox)) in 1886 at St Mary Magdalene, Paddington. They had one son, George Wren Howard, who would become a book publisher with Jonathan Cape.
Howard died in 1935, aged 74.
