[Newspaper Cutting inserted into diary page th July 1915] Burton Evening Gazette July 17 th 1915 THE BURTON OF OFFICE MINISTERS WHO WORK WITHOUT REST TRIBUTES BY MR WALTER LONG. 5

6 The annual meeting and conference of Urban District Councils of England and Wales was held at Westminster on Friday and was largely attended by delegates from all parts of the country. Mr Walter Long President of the Local Government Board, said it was for its very existence of the principles of liberty for nations and freedom for individuals that we were fighting upon various soils of the world to-day. We were determined that those immortal principles should be preserved. After paying tribute to our gallant. Mr Long referred to the landing on Gallipoli Peninsula. He said he did not believe a more wonderful feat of arms had ever been performed in history of the world. It was a story that could never be told in vain. Our dead had sown a seed which would blossom into a splendid harvest. They had given their lives for their friends, they had died in order that the Empire they loved might live more than one man could do. The President of the Local Government Board next dealt with critics. Throughout this long anxious and trying period he said the Prime Minster had taken no holiday and no rest. No one except those immediately around him could have the smallest ides of immense burden which Mr Asquith had carries through anxious and weary days and nights-(loud cheers).he deserves their gratitude. He was entailed to command their unqualified support (renewal applause.) The same might be said of Earl Kitchener whose whole strength and time has been devoted to the task, and who also has neither rest nor holiday (cheers) The same might be said of most Minsters in the Cabinet but there was one to whom refer one who returned to the House of Commons, (Loud Cheers) No unanimous roar of sympathetic applause welcome the return of one who was admired by our Empire and our Allies and feared by the our enemies. We all prayed the Sir Edward Grey might have a complete recovery form the temporarily suffered (cheers). He Mr Long was going to Urban Districts Councils and Municipal Corporations to follow in some degree the example set by the Prime Minster and his colleagues in connection of the National Register Bill which has just been passed through Parliament. He wanted local authorities to form themselves into continuous bodies, so that there should be no interruption of business until the register is completed, The greatest possession a country could have at this time like this was a healthy people. Never was there a moment in our history when it was more incumbent upon them to see that everything possible was done to preserve the health of the people. It was a sacred duty and a task to which they are specially called. All could do something to help win the great fight. It was sacred committed to their charge God give them strength faithfully to preform it. 6

7 August th Friday Had tea by ourselves as Uncle and Auntie had to go a meeting about National Registration Day at Burton Union. Auntie has endless forms, books papers etc. to fill in. It seems certain that the Germans have taken Warsaw. 7 th Saturday I spent the afternoon preparing a notebook for Auntie Sallies use in connection with the National Registration Day and in tidying out the cupboard cartridges in order.(auntie Sallie was an enumerator for the district and CFG assisted his Aunt in this task ) Germans have taken Ivangorod some fighting also on the West front English have upheld some attacks. 9 th Monday Had lunch at Brethy and drove to Tom Wain s the Fishpond Cottage,Noah s Ark,Baldwin s Lodge, Brethy Mill,Upton s Cottage and Greysith and called at two cottages in wood near mill on return Auntie went with me and delivered National Registration forms at all the places then we had tea and Uncle drove us to Cairus, Baldwin s Davies of Thornton Farm and Bringlincote, Uncle Jim and Miss Louse James had a heated argument on conscription. 11 th Wednesday Zeppelins were over East Coast last night and this morning about 14 people killed and 14 injured. I have heard that they were over Hull and 10 miles from Hull. Newspaper cutting from the Daily Chronicle August has been left in the diary with the headline-- HOW TO FILL IN THE REGISTER FORM -- OFFICAL GUIDE TO DOUBTFUL POINTS -- KINDS OF SKILLED WORK OF SPECIAL USE IN WAR (NATIONAL REGISTRATION ACT, Form Males ( I have transcribed other newspaper reports from this cutting which reflects war time reporting ) 12 th Thursday Zeppelins still active on the East Coast. 13 h Friday 7

Another Zeppelin Raid has taken place on the East Coast Rumour says Yarmouth. 14 th Saturday Mr Linsley arrived we went thro a lot of business and then had tea, after which Arthur came with car. We had a look at our old car and then Mr Linsley and Arthur left for Nottingham. Mr Linsley thinks I might try and get in some munitions work. 15 TH Sunday th Sunday after Trinity ( ) Had tea and then Auntie Sallie arrived I (CFG) went back with her after supper then ready to help her collect the National Registration forms, Arrived at farm at about 10 o clock. Went to bed. 17 th Tuesday Weather Fine and warm all day In the morning we had breakfast and I shot a rabbit, I then filled in the book for Auntie (a list of forms etc.) as far as had collected. I walk to the field with Uncle to see the Marsey Harris binder work. They have not found out how to adjust the lanes don vats the size of the sheaves. Walk back and had lunch. Filled in more of the enumerator s book and then cycled up to corn field there were no rabbits in that piece. Had tea,i drove Uncle Jim, Auntie Sallie to the field and picked up Mother on route Uncle Jim got out and we drove on collecting forms to the Golf House and down Bretly Lane. I left Auntie at Smith s and drove Mother down to Meargn Road and then picked up Auntie up and ran her to Wain s Then found no one so I went towards the cornfield to meet uncle Jim and picked him up and drive him home. I then cleaned some guns, cartridges belt them in the gunroom and after that I went to bed after talking to Will about the binder and ploughing the hay field up. (This an example of a day in life of CFG and how the family help to collect the National Registration Forms and CFG doing all the driving to collect the Forms from the farming community. 18 th Wednesday We then entered up the final batch of forms in the Enumerator s book, and tided in the Gunroom and cleaned the oil lamp.
