Cornwall was changing, tourism was growing and the Second World War was just around the corner. For a while although others took on Jenner's work, it seemed that perhaps the language might after all be forgotten.

January is cold, August is hot, usually. There are thirty days in June and thirty-one days in July. That is sixty-one days altogether. There are three months in Spring. What day is the twenty-fifth of December? Wednesday is the tenth, I think. In the year nineteen hundred and forty-five the Second World War ended. What day is it today? It is Friday the nineteenth of January in the year one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-five.

In 1825 almost all of this screen was taken down. Some of the pieces were thrown into the tower, others were stored in a chest in the vestry. The original pieces from the centre section were gradually replaced between 1880 and 1909 and rededicated by the Bishop of St German’s on 7th January 1910. The Northern end, on the left, was restored in 1922 as a memorial to those from the parish who died in the first World War. The Lady Chapel section, on the right, was restored a few years later by Belgian refugees and has two completely new bays and one odd panel of original dado. The original red, blue, and green paint and gilding to the original medieval parts can be easily seen. The blue colouring is a particularly rare azurite blue paint. Azurite was widely used in medieval painting. However, it cannot be mixed with oil like other pigments, so was mixed in a water-soluble glue medium. This has been destroyed in many other screens by washing with water or linseed oil. The carving across the top is the most exceptional feature of the Screen. The upper row consists of knotted vines and the lower row of fantastic beasts amongst twining foliage. There are black stags with golden antlers, spotted green serpents devouring unhappy little beasts, greedy black demons stuffing their red mouths with blue-and-gold striped birds, more gold birds pecking at fruit, and sometimes demon faces stalking them through the foliage. There is a great white hound with a gold collar and two smaller black ones pulling down a black deer with golden antlers, followed by a hunter slipping a hound from the leash, a speckled unicorn fighting with a winged dragon, and innumerable other strange fauna tightly entwined together across the entire width of the church.

She has reached her hundredth birthday. I have not finished the third book yet. The tenth word in the twentieth line is 'kath' (cat). He read his name in the fourth column on the fifth page of the newspaper. It was the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the seventyseventh anniversary of the end of the First World War. Look! Grey clouds above the wood. Brittany is over the sea. I have seen many birds in the garden this evening. The food in that hotel was very good. Who telephoned you this evening?

During the Second World War, my uncle told me, he was a boxer in the army. Then he showed me his old boxing gloves and put the big gloves on my small hands. During the next hour my uncle tried to teach me the basics of boxing. He taught me the proper way to move and how I could guard myself from blows to my head and body. Then he showed me the correct way to punch. When we left my uncle’s house that evening, I was the proud owner of a pair of very large boxing gloves.

Curium is a transuranic, radioactive chemical element with the symbol Cm and atomic number 96. This element of the actinide series was named after eminent scientists Marie and Pierre Curie, both known for their research on radioactivity. Curium was first intentionally made by the team of Glenn T. Seaborg, Ralph A. James, and Albert Ghiorso in 1944, using the cyclotron at Berkeley. They bombarded a piece of the newly discovered element plutonium (isotope 239) with alpha-particles. This was then sent to the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago where a tiny sample of curium was eventually separated and identified. The discovery was kept secret until after the end of the World War II. The news was released to the public in November 1947. Most curium is produced by bombarding uranium or plutonium with neutrons in nuclear reactors – one tonne of spent nuclear fuel contains about 20 grams of curium.

2 CORINTHIANS 10 Paul’s Defense of His Ministry 1By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away! 2I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. 3For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. 7You are judging by appearances. If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ, they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do. 8So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it. 9I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters. 10For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.” 11Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present. 12We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. 13We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you. 14We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did get as far as you with the gospel of Christ. 15Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, 16so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory. 17But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” 18For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

It was still dark and David and I had, I guessed, about an hour ahead of us, stumbling through the thick bush to gain my objective. I hoped that my mental picture of the lay of the land – that I had formed some years previously while on patrol as an Army Cadet – had remained sufficiently accurate. If not, the confidence I had just shown to the Sergeant could turn out to be mere bravado, particularly when the tracker dogs arrived from Melbourne. Before Puckapunyal Army Base had been set up by the military (during the first World War) there had been a fair bit of (comparatively unsuccessful) mining activity in the area. Once the military had taken over, of course, this had all ceased – and, given the lack of genuine mineral ‘strikes’ in the area, no-one had been particularly disappointed by this government decision. People quickly forgot the modest legacy of mining that the area once had. When I was a boy soldier, leading my rag-tag squad of schoolboys through the dense bushland of the Scrub Hill area, we got lost – naturally. We deviated from the planned route by many miles and were unable to make our way back to camp until hours after the time allotted for the navigation exercise had expired. The teachers and the Army instructor were very unhappy with us – and, in particular, with me – since I was the nominal leader of the squad. (Lucky squad!) Why had we gotten lost? I had absorbed keenly the navigation lessons provided to us by the regular army guys and I knew very well how to read a detailed topographic map. I also knew how to use a modern, rugged and highly accurate prismatic compass. What then had been the problem? The fucking Bren gun had been the problem! Yes, you heard it right. The Army let a bunch of stupid kids wander about the Australian bush with a Bren Gun. For the uninitiated, this is a heavy machine gun of World War II vintage – old but absolutely lethal.

THE FIRST LECTURE ‘For the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming, ...’ That old patriotic anthem from World War Two rolled about in my head as I sat in a cell beside my brother. I even started to sing it but David glared at me – he never did like to hear me singing. (Nobody does!) So, just as I had heard, there were foreign troops on the way to reinforce the local effort. What this meant, of course, was that the ‘war’ against the zombie menace was by no means over. And, if you thought about it, that was no surprise. As I had speculated at the time of the battle at Melbourne University, a primary area of 400,000 square kilometres had been taken over by the zombies – and outbreaks were occurring all the time beyond that zone. So, despite the fact that thousands of zombies had been machine-gunned and napalmed at the university, there were hundreds of thousands of them still roaming the countryside – and they, in their turn, were still actively ‘conscripting’ yet more to the cause (whatever that might be). And, as a result, David and I were to be used to show these fresh-faced doughboys what a zombie looked like. I was to be the ‘before’ image and David was to be the ‘after’ – like in one of those old comic-book advertisements for body-building equipment. Was I ‘Skinny John’? Would I have sand kicked in my face? Probably not. I guessed we had been taken to Puckapunyal, the largest army base in Victoria. It was in Central Victoria, two or three hours by army truck from Castlemaine. So, the interminable journey in the paddy wagon fitted with that geography (once corrected for time distortion due to blindfolding.) If my guess on our location were correct – and this would be a logical place to train foreign soldiers in Australian conditions, away from the primary zone of infection – that was good news. Once again, my cadet training would come in handy.
