I've corresponded with some folks in Lincolnshire, where he died and is buried, and have tried to track down some living family, but haven't been able to do so. His story was so much more captivating than I would have thought, and I still need to get to writing the follow-up. I wonder if Hans Bach wasn't a classmate of his from Kelham?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300596637986884250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005000988084825442.post-64866826854942523382012-05-16T00:48:15.017-05:002012-05-16T00:48:15.017-05:00Nephew of the New Zealand Frederick James Livingst...Nephew of the New Zealand Frederick James Livingstone: http://www.cambridgeairforce.org.nz/David_Livingstone.htm<br /><br />Found on a search of: "frederick james livingstone" new zealandKarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970040936630236032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005000988084825442.post-55456868638942383382012-05-16T00:40:08.082-05:002012-05-16T00:40:08.082-05:00Chris, I was looking through your blog, ran across...Chris, I was looking through your blog, ran across this post again, and did a bit of googling. Silly to think there was any hope of finding anything, since you already searched and since I'm not a genealogical researcher, but by chance I ran across something that MIGHT possibly be referring to the same Frederick Livingstone.<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/merlyn63/5181902321/<br /><br />At first glance, I thought, oh, Royal Flying Corps, not the Medical Corp, wrong man; but then I read the comments on the post and saw this:<br /><br />There’s an online copy of a New Zealand newspaper report of his death.<br />"Advice has been received of the death of 2nd Lt Frederick J Livingstone of the Royal Flying Corps, in an aeroplane accident at Gainsborough, England, on the 12th January. Lt. Livingstone, who was about 24 years old, was educated at the Boys High School, Christchurch and left for England five years ago, where he entered the Kelham Theological College. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted in the Royal Medical Corps, with which he saw service in Egypt. Subsequently he was transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, obtaining his commission towards the end of last year."<br /><br />Link: http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=EP19180122.2.68<br /><br />So, is it possible that you could not find his records because he hailed from New Zealand, not England? The time frame seems to fit, and it is within reason that he might have been promoted from Corporal to Second Lieutenant in the space of three years.<br /><br />Honestly, I'd like to hope this isn't the same man as in the photo, because I'd rather he survived the war, returned home, and lived to a ripe old age. As we know, though, for far too many young men of that generation, that was not the case.Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970040936630236032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005000988084825442.post-18852247668951550812012-02-22T15:24:35.028-06:002012-02-22T15:24:35.028-06:00I really enjoyed reading your thoughts, Chris.

The situation in Anoka/Hennepin with the School District there seems intractable, and "outsiders" such as myself don't seem to be very helpful. Yet it's still an issue that needs more than a month of focus. I'll be doing a workshop on it at an ONA statewide gathering on May 8th, and perhaps something more will issue from that. It's a spiritual issue (there's at least one book on that) as well--especially where the church has taken a stance that supports bullying in the name of "freedom."Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300596637986884250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005000988084825442.post-4845923333252497662011-04-28T00:42:54.514-05:002011-04-28T00:42:54.514-05:00You're famous!
