"A Man Made of Money" is a satirical play written by Douglas Jerrold. The play centers around the wealthy businessman John Jericho, who is consumed by his love of money. Jericho's obsession with wealth leads him to neglect his wife and family, causing him to become increasingly isolated and unhappy. The play is a biting critique of the materialism and greed that were becoming increasingly prevalent in Victorian society. Through its portrayal of Jericho, Jerrold highlights the negative effects that the pursuit of wealth and status can have on individuals and their relationships. The play also explores the themes of love, marriage, and family, and their complex interactions with the world of business and finance. Despite being over 170 years old, "A Man Made of Money" remains a relevant and engaging work of theater. Its themes of materialism, greed, and the importance of human relationships are timeless, and its biting satire continues to resonate with audiences today.

The odd one out of all the British divisions of the 1914-18 War, the RN Division was formed in September 1914 from Royal Marines and surplus naval reservists, organized in battalions named after distinguished sailors in naval history - Hood, Nelson, Howe, Drake etc. After early action in defence of Antwerp the division went to Gallipoli where it landed in April 1915 and saw the campaign through to the end. In April the division was taken over by the War Office from the Admiralty and the following month it was moved to France; in July it was given the number 63. It remained on the Western Front for the rest of the war. Total casualties amounted to nearly 48,000. This is an excellent history by an accomplished writer and a well-known literary figure.
