That was the original Baden Powell, who set up camp on Brownsea Island, wrote "scouting for boys" and I believe invented the concentration camp, though I may not be right on that.
Totheren was an amazing guitarist, I have a box set of his LPs.

Well, no, BP didn't invent them in fact I cannot find a link to him and the camps, as I initially said, I might be wrong.
I was.
In fact they were invented by the Spanish

I cannot believe it really.
Even in death the BIL is still poncing off his mother.
The funeral and wake is on the afternoon of the 14th.
He has arranged the venue for the wake and because he is going to go on-holiday the next day his overnight accommodation for himself and his wife can be paid for by his late mother's funeral-expenses fund.
I am just aghast at the effrontery of this man.

My Missus is the Executor and has frozen 2 main accounts, another 2 to do this week.
I have suggested that he will try to install himself or one of his dependent children in there but my missus says he won't/can't.
Guess what? The will has gone missing! What a surprise.

Was it drawn up by a solicitor, and has the solicitor got a copy?

We have an older will, but we are sure there was a more recent one as it was last seen when we put the LPA's in place for the old gall's health & Finances.

Eye fink a protective approch is needed. It will be easier to protect now, than fighting to gain control later.

Oddly enough I was watching the series American Civil war. Due to the southern capture of northern troops they concentrated those as prisoners. The man in charge was a German who starved majority of them and was eventually hanged at the end of the war. That was a few decades before the Spanish. Equally the black freed slaves who join north which were captured didn't favour to well.. Russia before ww2 was a scribble note had Gulags since the tsars. Hitler was a great admirer of Russia Stalin and Italian Mussolini control of the people. My guess the concept of holding your enemy in camps date back a lot early to Chinese TZU writing art of war.
