The story of the highly controversial First World War campaign that nearly destroyed Churchill's reputation for good and of his decades-long battle to set the record straight - a battle which ultimately helped clear the way for Churchill's appointment as Prime Minister in Britain's 'darkest hour'.

In this essay, “London Is the Place for Me” will serve as an exemplary case study for an investigation into how migrant literature (in this case, a song lyric) relates to cultural change. My hypothesis is that London texts by authors from British colonies or former colonies allow us to approach the cultural consequences of immigration not as an accomplished fact (as the BBC documentary celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush does), but as an ongoing process. They give us a glimpse of cultural change in the making, of the making of what we may term “postcolonial London.” I borrow this term from John McLeod’s eponymous monograph, which presents itself as “a book about change.” McLeod begins his study by reminding us how the dismantling of the Empire and the continuing legacies of imperialism have left their mark on the space of London, most notably in the form of immigration from Britain’s former colonies.

Gallipoli Campaign, launched shortly after the Ottoman Empire's entry into the WWI, was an operation from which the allies, especially Britain, expected a fast and easy result. Lord Kitchener, British Secretary of State for War and the most important person in British war council, made joint attemps with the other officials to launch a landing operation in Alexandretta and for this purpose, they sought consensus with the French allies. Yet, even from the early days of the Dardanelles Campaign, it became clear that a victory would not be won easily and quickly contrary to expectations. Besides, despite being allies, the power struggle and controversies between Britain and France, especially the lack of consensus over Syria's post-war status, prevented an operation on Alexandretta. Although at this point the British authorities expected that the Armenian population in the region would support them and the scarcity of Ottoman troops in the region would ease the success of the operation, they did not dare such an operation. Despite all preparations, the resistance in Gallipoli deterred the French allies and the British war council from launching a second operation.

Lord Kitchener, whose sly wit and graceful melodies made him one of Trinidad's most beloved calypso songwriters, died on Friday at a hospital in Port of Spain, Trinidad. He was 77 and lived in Diego Martin, just outside Port of Spain. Lord Kitchener, whose real name was Aldwyn Roberts, wrote party tunes and pointed political statements, risque songs and reminders of heritage and history, singing in a voice that always seemed to convey a dapper wink. His songs were esteemed for their tunes as well as for their humor. He linked calypso to Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz, and his tunes were regularly arranged for steel bands, winning competitions as instrumentals. His first major hit, in 1944, was ''Green Fig,'' a husband's complaint that his cheating wife would not even cook him a good meal. Growling Tiger renamed him Lord Kitchener, after the English field marshal and war secretary. He became a steady hit maker, entertaining American troops as well as Trinidadians; he performed ''Green Fig'' for President Harry S. Truman when he visited Trinidad in 1945. In 1947 he opened his own calypso tent to feature what he called the Young Brigade, dedicated to peppier, horn-driven, Latin-tinged calypso songs that played down politics in favor of teasing double-entendres.
