   Keswick Ont.

My Dear Ethel;-
   ​Well I have been seeing London met a man 
from Toronto who is also here on leave so have 
been with him yesteraday & today so far, 
yesteraday we went through the Westminister 
cathedral & abby in the forenoon saw where 
the kings & Queens were buried for the last 
1000 years & all the great men think I could 
sleep just as well in any old place as there 
but it is very interesting seeing the old 
monuments, then in the afternoon we went 
to a theather & saw a good play then went 
to the Y.M.C.A. for supper then to another show 
at night. & back to the YM.C.A. for the night.
then this morning we went to the 
Methodist church we could have went to 
the cathedral but it is the English church 
& we are both fed up on that. HaHa back to 
the Y.M.C.A. for dinner then out to see the 
Buckingham Palace where the King lives 
​when in London, of course we just saw that 

Picture
from the outside. then came up here to the club. 
& thot we would write some letters. 
     I am enclosing the order of service of the 
church also you can see what it looks like 
​and it is nicer inside than it is out. so you can 
see it is some place. eh.
     Well Ethel I hope you are all as well as this 
leaves me also I have a good appetite & can 
eat as much as I can get which isnt a great 
deal just at present as I put my money in 
the Post Office saving bank all but 1 pound 
& you have to give 4 days notice before you 
can draw out, more than a pound & your book 
has to go to London to be balanced before you 
can draw the second pound, we only had 
3 days notice so I came up to London on 2 pounds 
Ha Ha. that has to last 3 days & we dont know 
when we will get a chance on shore again. 
     Say Ethel there was a sailors wife on the train 
I came up on & I heard her make a very sensible 
remark, her husband is on the Bacchante & has 
been a sailor for years. she said she never frets 
about her hubby, because she knows if his 
boat was sunk it would be reported at once 
even if she did not hear from him. dont you 
think she is very wise to think of such a thing 
& it is absolutely true, 
     Well I guess I will close for this time write 
often & good long letters. kiss the kiddies for me
Bye Bye. from your loving hsbnad.  N.C. Draper

 History Notes 
​

There is 1 History note for this letter of Feb 4 (Mar 4), 1917:

History Note 1 -  Methodist Church Order of Services Bulletin

Noah mentions touring Westminster Cathedral and Abbey, and then chooses to attend the Methodist church the following morning. In this case, the Methodist church he attended in 1917 was called the Wesleyan Central Hall. Canadian census records in the decades before show members as Canadian Methodist, Wesleyan Methodist, or simply ​Methodist. From the posting here of Noah and Ethel's courtship letters, these WW1 letters, and census and marriage records, we know that Noah simply refers to it as a Methodist church.

​
My Dear Ethel;-

   Well I am in London on 3 days leave
expected to be at sea before this but
we were laying in the basin ready
to make the trial trip when one night
another boat ramed us & put a hole
in our side, (I was asleep & did not know
about it untill the next morning) so
we had to go back into dry dock & may
be there a week or two. one half of the
crew was given 3 days leave on Monday 
& the other half today & given free tickets
so I came up here,
   Have not heard from Percy yet so can not see
Katie, Ha Ha. but I want to see the tower
of London, West Minister Abbey & several
other places tomorrow. there is a party
leaving here at 9 30 am. tomorrow & returning
at 5 p.m. costs $1. Well I have not received that

​
Picture
​parcel yet, mabey it will be ready waiting
for me when I get back, say Ethel have you
​not got that letter where I told you I had
got the Photos I sent it nearly a month
ago. I got a letter from you yesteraday
tell Mildred that I have had milk
to drink since I wrote that other letter
altho I would like to have a drink from her
cow, & when her daddy gets back from this
war he will not leave again in a hurry
unless he has to. Ha Ha.
   Well I hope Alice is better before this
I know how they would feel if they lost
her but we must hope for the best, eh.
   There is quite a few Canadians here
at the club no one else is allowed here
& it makes one feel good to be among
the Canadians again for when all is
said & done they are hard people to beat
& I am glad I can say I am a Canadian.
   Say dont make any mistakes about 1/2 sheets
of paper, see they are whole & then fill
2 or 3 for I like to get long letters.
   Well I guess I will close for this time
as it is getting late will write
again on Sunday. Bye Bye.
   Love to all kiss the kiddies for me.

 History Notes 
​

There are 2 History notes for this letter of Feb 1 (Mar 1), 1917:

History Note 1 -  HMS Bacchante & HMS Achilles Mishap

Although Noah has dated this letter at the beginning of February, we know it had to have been March because the HMS Achilles' ship's log shows the mishap happened at just after midnight on February 22, 1917: 
Picture
22 February 1917
Liverpool
Lat 53.40, Long -3.00
12.07am: HMS Bacchante swung to ebb and fouled Achilles' stern, engines worked as required.
 to It is interesting to note that Noah writes that another boat rammed them, while the Achilles' log states that another boat swung into them.

​With the Bacchante back in dry dock, the crew has been given 3 days leave and so we find Noah in London. As for the wrong date, it's interesting to note that Noah's next letter shows February 4, 1917 where he is still in London, and attends church. Along with that letter tp Ethel, he included an Order of Service which is dated March 4, 1917. It's the confirmation that the letters were actually written in March vs February and will be included in the next post.


History Note 2 -  Noah's London Postcards

Noah mentions wanting to see the Tower of London in this letter and either brought back or sent to Ethel the following series of postcards about his explorations while in London.
​
Picture
TOWER OF LONDON
Picture
TOWER OF LONDON. Byward Tower and Outer Ward. On the right is the flank of St. Thomas' Tower, and on the left the Beauchamp Tower of the Inner Ward.
Picture
TOWER OF LONDON. Gateway of Bloody Tower. Above the gateway of the Bloody Tower is seen the portculis, which is still in working order. This tower fully deserves the name of "bloody." for it has been the scene of death in all its forms.
Picture
TOWER OF LONDON. The White Tower. This massive Tower was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and is the oldest portion of the Tower. Its walls are immensely thick, from 12 to 15 feet at the base, and rise to a height of 90 feet. The turrets that surmount each corner are a striking feature, and at one time cannons were mounted on the roof.
Picture
TOWER OF LONDON. St. John's Chapel in the White Tower. One of the earliest Norman Churches in England.
Picture
TOWER OF LONDON. In the Beauchamp Tower. Many of the stones bear inscriptions engraved by prisoners in former ages.
Picture
TOWER OF LONDON. Chapel of St. Peter-ad-Vincula. Beneath the altar lie the remains of Anne Boleyn, Katherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey, the Duke of Monmouth, and many others beheaded in the Tower.

Noah's next letter will show more sights of his London adventure.

History Notes
​

There are 2 History notes for this letter of February 26, 1917:

History Note 1 -  Percy, Ethel, and George 

​Noah asks Ethel if she's heard from Percy, Ethel, or George yet. 

Percy and Ethel are 2 of Noah's living siblings. Percy married Parthena Fisher and live on the section east to Noah and Ethel (NE 
29-17-21-W2) at Adams, Saskatchewan.

Ethel Maud married William Rigler and live on the NW part of section 31, beside Noah and Ethel, who live on the NE part of the same section (31-17-21 W2), a half mile west of Percy's land. The Adams CNR siding is also on Noah's land. (See my post on C.N.R. at Adams, Saskatchewan)

A third sibling, Eva Amelia, married Andrew Perrault and live on land that adjoins the town of Grand Coulee, 3.5 miles southeast of Adams as the crow flies.

George Draper is Noah's 1st cousin, brother of Stewart Draper who is often mentioned in Noah's letters. George married Eliza Alberta Hamilton and farmed land in the District of Battleford, Saskatchewan during the time of these letters.

When Noah says that George will be going home soon, he is referring to the fact that George and Eliza are spending the winter months in Ontario with family, just like Ethel is doing while Noah is away. Noah and Ethel did the same for years and Noah is using this as a prod to get her to go back to their own farm in Saskatchewan now that winter is almost over.

History Note 2 - Dry Dock 

In this letter, Noah says he is dry dock and might be there for some time, but doesn't say why. Dry docks, also called graving docks, are used when a ship needs to clean or repair the hull. Over time, sea-going vessels suffer a buildup of marine life such as barnacles that can damage the hull if not cleaned off on a regular basis. This can be done in or out of water, but a dry dock makes the job easier. Same for repairs. A dry dock allows the ship to sail into a box-like structure where a door, such as a canal lock, can close behind it creating a seal between the dry dock and the sea water. The dry dock is then drained of water leaving the ship on a support system which stops the vessel from toppling over. The poster at the top of this post shows a drained dry dock system, while the photograph below shows a dry dock on the Birkenhead side of the River Mersey which may even have been the one that repaired the Bacchante in 1917. (More of that in a future letter.)

History Notes

There is 1 History note for this letter of February 23, 1917:

History Note -  Stokers in WW1

Basically, a stoker was someone who worked in the engine room with the goal of keeping the ship moving. Stokers were extremely important to the running of ship as they shoveled coal into the boilers that created the steam that kept the engines running. Over the years, as stokers became more experienced with the boilers and engine systems, they became the mechanics of the engine room. The stokers had their own deck to eat and sleep, worked their own shifts, and received more pay than the sailors. 

​In The Battlecruiser HMS Hood: An Illustrated Biography, 1916-1941, printed in 2008, the author, Bruce Taylor, says that stokers didn't have the attachment to naval traditions due to their lack of naval training in seamanship. He states, "Whereas boy seamen joined the Navy at sixteen, the stoker was often recruited in his twenties from the industrial and mining centres of Britain and consequently possessed a very different outlook and mentality."
