Remembering the SS Mendi
Today marks 100th anniversary of the sinking of South African ship, the SS Mendi in English Channel in 1917. More than 600 of the 823 men forming part of the South African Native Labour Corps, perished at sea. The centenary of the sinking of the Mendi raises sharp questions about how we commemorate historical events. How much do we know about the SS Mendi? How history is used and wielded for politics of nationalism? What lessons can we draw from the use historical memory in present day South Africa? Who is included and excluded in history writing? Why are certain events not part of the public memory? Which stories are left untold? Who is included? Who is marginalised? What is lost and recovered in narratives of the SS Mendi? What would be the best way to commemorate the sinking of the SS Mendi?
War Memorial : Chatham Naval Memorial
Chatham Naval Memorial is a large obelisk situated in the town of Chatham, Kent, which is in the Medway Towns. The memorial is a feature of the Great Lines Heritage Park. The huge expanse of the Great Lines was in its own right a layer of defence to protect Chatham Dockyard from attack.Chatham was a principal manning port of the Royal Navy during the First World War and thus was dedicated as the site of one of three memorials to sailors, airmen and marines of the Royal Navy who lost their lives during the conflict but who have no known grave.The other memorials were situated at Portsmouth and Plymouth. The obelisks were designed by Sir Robert Lorimer.Chatham Naval Memorial originally contained 8,515 names. They include two Victoria Cross recipients, Skipper Thomas Crisp (Merchant Marine), and Major Francis John William Harvey (Royal Marines Light Infantry),besides poet Flight Commander Jeffery Day (Royal Naval Air Service) and England rugby international, Surgeon James (Bungy) Watson.
After the Second World War and its consequent loss of life, the decision was made to expand the three memorials and so the Chatham Naval Memorial was created from the 'Chatham Obelisk' and was given a surround designed by Sir Edward Maufe which contains 10,098 additional names from the later conflict. The surround is also made of Portland Stone, with bronze plaques. It has two pavilions; north and south which look out towards Chatham. Along the surround are four Portland Stone statues of sailors.
