Kendal Rocked By Angels…

October 15, 1910 ·

Angel Corps at the War Memorial Angel Corps "Squadron 108" came to town with a bang on Saturday, reaching out to locals and lightening up a grey rainy day. Rank and file of the squadron's advance party took to the streets in a charm offensive which culminated in a late night parade starting at the War Memorial. The troupe were joined by several members of the Suffragette Movement campaigning for women's right to vote, and representatives from… Read more.

Reader’s Letter: What A Splendid Night

October 15, 1910 ·

My Dear Sir I am writing to express my sincere approval for the splendid display of the Angel Corps through Kendal this last weekend. It brings pride to the heart of every true Englishman to see such a fine body of women, in all of their Amazonian prime, ready to defend this great nation of ours. I was however rather concerned to hear that there were so-called clocks whispering sedition to passers-by. I do hope that our good constabulary will… Read more.

Reader’s Letter: Peace And Not Pieces

October 4, 1910 ·

I was one of locals at the town hall meeting hosted by two mysterious men from Her Majesty's Airship Force, and have lived in this quiet little town all my life. Violence isn't a big issue here, the only time I've seen trouble is when the local men have had a bit too much to drink, other than that this is a peaceful part of the country. During the meeting we were informed that the all-female force will be arriving in… Read more.

Must Be Talking To An Angel

September 30, 1910 ·

Special Report: Recently, I had the privilege of interviewing select members of the Angel Corps. We spoke about many things; however, I found a certain recruit’s views about equality and reasoning for becoming part of the Angel Corps particularly interesting. She wishes to remain anonymous but here is what one of the Private's told us: “I originally had heard about Angel Corps through rumours in school. It was a very controversial topic at the time so teachers did not like… Read more.

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

September 29, 1910 ·

Residents of Kendal have reported hearing a low continuous hum between 6-9pm every night. Local butcher Samuel O’Flynn says the noise, which he hears while closing for the day, could “clearly be the works of those new Clockworks”, however the disturbance is said to continue at different locations through the night. Another local - Georgia Smith,  believes it could be a homing signal for Angel Corps Squadron who are currently setting up their new base in Kendal, but their  liaison… Read more.

ARRIVAL OF ANGEL CORPS: A POLICE OPINION

September 27, 1910 ·

While the arrival of Angel Corps has been a common topic of discussion recently, the Gazette feels that one aspect of their arrival has not yet been touched upon: the opinion of the Police. In order to investigate, I was sent into Kendal to interview a few select members of the Police about Angel Corps to get a general feel for what their overall opinion is. Immediately upon entering the station, I could already feel some unease – noticing a… Read more.

Letter From An Angel: The Singapore Sling

September 26, 1910 ·

Hello Gazette. I'm a member of Squadron 108 in Her Majesty's Angel Corps, and our new airship base is Kendal Town. My squadron leader asked if I would write an article on a past experience of mine in the force to get the locals of Kendal excited for our imminent arrival. While in Singapore a few years back, my mission was to be a personal bodyguard for a VIP while she attended the opening of the Raffles Hotel. Unfortunately her… Read more.
