s.s.edinburgh castle

The East and South Africa mail liner S/S Edinburgh Castle was requisitioned during WW1, armed and used as a an armed cruiser in the South Atlantic Squadron.

Ready for the breakers in 1939, she was requisitioned again in WWII, in which she served as an accomodation ship for survivors of sunken ships at Freetown, Sierra Leone.

In November 1945, being declared not worth to tow back to England, Edinburgh Castle was sunk as an exercise target by gunfire from the armed trawler Cape Warwick, HMS Porchester Castle and HMS Launceston Castle, some 60 miles off Freetown.

Rather an infamous end for such a beautiful liner.

Herbert William Shove

Herbert William Shove  the son of Herbert Samuel Shove and Bertha Millen.

Birth: Jul. 6, 1886 Faversham Swale Borough Kent, England
Death: Dec. 5, 1943 Bristol
Bristol Unitary Authority Bristol, England.

Parents:
Herbert Samuel Shove (1854-1889)and
Bertha Millen (1865-1940) both Ospringe, Kent, England


2 Brothers:
Gerald Frank Shove (Nov 1887 – Aug 1947) was a noted Cambridge economist, author and conscientious objector.
Ralph Samuel Shove (May 1889 – Feb 1966) was a County Court judge and a rower who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics to win a silver medal with his team.

Spouses:
Guinevere Mary Wren (1891-1920) 4 daughters
Myrtle Mary Reilly (1887-1971) 3 sons

Herbert was an associate of the Ditchling community (Eric Gill, Hilary Pepler, David Jones and others who formed the Guild of St. Joseph and St. Dominic) and a follower of Hilaire Belloc, G. K. Chesterton and other distributists.

An influence on the Catholic Land Movement, he advocated a middle way between socialism and liberalism in a 'return to the land'. This conservative agrarianism eventually led him towards a flirtation with the reactionary right in the mid-1930s. His life and writings, however, provide an opportunity for reflection on the 'inconvenient history' of interwar ruralist/ecological movements in the 1930s within their entangled contexts of cultural despair and extremes of Englishness.

Distributist Perspectives: Volume II: Essays on the Economics of Justice and Charity

Decorated for action in the Royal Navy submarine service in the Great War, he was re-mobilised in World War II and died of privations suffered in West Africa.
1917 awarded the D.S.O. for successfully getting his submarine through the Dardanelles during WW1.
1940 awarded the O.B.E. for his work routing shipping convoys during WW2.

Incidentally, Chief Willie, Herbert Shove is one of the war dead interred in Arnos Vale. The information I have is that he died on 5 December 1943 (not 1950 as the standard internet bio has it). He became ill while serving at HMS Eland (shore establishment, Freetown, Sierra Leone) and returned to the UK on the SS Edinburgh Castle, dying either on the ship or shortly after returning. As well as his DSO (1917) he was awarded the OBE in 1940. I have further information (non-service related) about him and his brothers, so if interested, please PM me for further discussion.

As well as the Arnos Vale headstone, he is commemorated on the Roll of Honour in Ditchling Church, see:

Bertha Shove maiden name Millen





She was born in Faversham Sept 1865 as a daughter of William Millen and 
she married Herbert Samuel Shove.
And their children are
Captain Herbert William Shove.
Gerald Frank Shove
Ralph Samuel Shove


According to information on the internet the Queens farm  . Herbert William Shove, who I believe was probably born at Queen Court, Ospringe, in July 1886. His father, Herbert Samuel Shove, certainly owned or rented the property at the time of his marriage the previous year. His mother was Bertha, née Millen, whose family lived at Syndale in Ospringe, according to the marriage lines.
I see the webpage for Queen Court shows an image of the building c1890 with a women and two boys posing in front of the house. Might this be Bertha, Herbert (junior) and the second son, Gerald? If so, the 1890 date for the image looks a little early. Herbert (senior) died in 1889 and is buried in Ospringe churchyard (although he is listed as SHORE on the church webpages
