The Waitara, a ship of 833 tons, built by Reed of Glasgow in 1863, and flying the New Zealand Shipping Co's flag, did not enjoy a long career in the New Zealand trade, as she was sunk in the English channel by the Hurunui on June 22 1883.The two ships left Gravesend togeather in the evening, and shortly after the weather became thick and hazy. The Hurunui struck the Waitara twice amidships, and the latter sank in a few minutes while endevours were being made to lower the boats. A few of the Waitara's passengers clambered on board the Hurunui when the collision occured.  Twenty of the passenegers and crew were drowned, including a few old colonists who were returning to Wellington.⁵⁷⁴

The Irish in the West Indies: An Introductory Note

Merchants in the Seventeenth Century believed the Irish poor would be more willing to seek opportunities in the West Indies than their English, Scottish, or Welsh counterparts, because of frequent food shortages, high unemployment, and English military adventures in Ireland. Consequently, they looked to Ireland for a ready supply of servants. Emigration facilities became an integral part of the extensive colonial trade with Ireland, and most ships sailing from Irish ports to the West Indies carried servants. Before the Restoration, Ireland was not discriminated against in the West Indian market, and the Navigation Act of 1663 continued the direct trade in servants. Only Barbados attempted to enact legislation to prevent Irish immigration. Their 1644 statute failed miserably, and like planters in other islands, they could not prevent consignments of irish servants from landing on their shores.

In addition, many of the Irish Catholic landowning class in this period migrated voluntarily to the West Indies to avail of the business opportunities there occasioned by the trade in sugar, tobacco and cotton. They were followed by landless Irish indentured labourers, who were recruited to serve a landowner for a specified time before receiving freedom and land. The descendants of some Irish immigrants are known today in the West Indies as redlegs.

After the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland (notably at the siege of Drogheda in 1649), Irish political prisoners were transferred to Montserrat. To this day, Montserrat is the only country or territory in the world, apart from the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the Canadian province of Newfoundland to observe a public holiday on St Patrick's Day. The population is predominantly of mixed Irish and African descent.

One of the first references to Anglims in Barbados is the following in 1831:

Although there is little surviving evidence of Irish culture, some elderly islanders can remember when the term "cilig" was used to describe a common method of fishing for sea turtles. The word cilig appears to be meaningless in English, but in some dialects of Gaelic is used as an adjective meaning "easily deceived".^] In Irish there is a word cílí meaning sly. It is used in the expression, Is é an cílí ceart é, pronounced Shayeh kilic airtay, and means What a sly-boots. Characteristics of older Bermudian accents, such as the pronunciation of the letter 'd' as 'dj', as in Bermudjin (Bermudian), may also indicate an Irish origin. Later Irish immigrants have continued to contribute to Bermuda's makeup, with names like Crockwell (Ó Creachmhaoil), and O'Connor now being thought of, locally, as Bermudian names. The strongest remaining Irish influence can be seen in the presence of bagpipes in the music of Bermuda, which stemmed from the presence of Scottish and Irish soldiers from the 18th through 20th centuries. Several prominent businesses in Bermuda have a clear Irish influence, such as the Irish Linen Shop, Tom Moore's Tavern and Flanagan's Irish Pub and Restaurant.

Another J. Trousnell Gilbert, was Solicitor General of British Guiana (ca. 1862), and a brother of Anglim Gilbert.

Othniel Anglim Gilbert, of Bermuda, practiced for several years as a Solicitor in Demerara. In April, he was admitted as a Counsellor and Attorney of the Court and a Commissioner for taking affidavits, i.e., he was admitted to the Bermuda bar and thus becoming a barrister. He died at Woodland Paget on November 8, the date of his 50^th birthday.

The newspaper euologized him as a “man of the highest character and the most unblemished honor, and amiable disposition had endeared him to all who knew him.

Although he had been for sometime in a precarious state of health, his death was very sudden; and it spread deep gloom over a large circle of conections and friends.” ⁵⁷⁸

Othniel Gilbert’s daughter, Louisia Maria Harvey, married Joseph L. Trimingham, Esq., the eldest son of the Hon. J.H. Trimingham, of Inglewood, Pagets, Bermuda, at St. Paul’s Church, Pagets, on June 30, 1881. Rev. J.L.B. Lough, Rector, officiated the ceremony.⁵⁷⁹

Biography of Major General Glyn Charles Anglim Gilbert ( 1920 -2003)

MAJOR-GENERAL GLYN GILBERT (1920-1983) was an outstanding front-line commander and trainer of soldiers; awarded an MC in Belgium in 1944, he subsequently developed strongly-held opinions on the importance of air mobile operations many years before they became widely accepted.

On the night of September 18 1944, "C" and "D" companies of the 2nd Battalion, The Lincolnshire Regiment, were ordered to cross the Escaut Canal, Belgium, and seize objectives on the other side. Gilbert, then a major, was in command of "C" Company.

Artificial moonlight, a new weapon of war supplied by the beams of a searchlight battery, proved superfluous because the Germans, before retiring for the night, had set light to a house and the wind-fanned flames lit up the whole crossing area. At midnight, the first boats were lowered down the banks and slid into the water.

A 20 mm gun opened up, firing straight down the canal. Enemy mortars and machine-guns firing on fixed lines inflicted a rising toll of casualties and all three platoon commanders were killed or wounded. Gilbert steadied his men, reorganised the company and personally took charge of the thrust across the canal. The citation for his MC stated that he was largely responsible for the company's success in capturing their objective.

Glyn Charles Anglim Gilbert was born at Croydon, Surrey, on August 15 1920 and was brought up on Bermuda. His family's connections with the island went back to the 17th century; his father, who had won an MC in the First World War, was Director of Education and his uncle was Lord Chief Justice.

Gilbert returned to England to go to Eastbourne College before entering Sandhurst in 1939, from where he was commissioned into the Lincolnshire Regiment. He landed on the Normandy beaches on D-Day as a company commander in 3 Division and fought with the 2nd Battalion from Caen to the Baltic.

In January 1945, at Swolgen, a baby girl was born in the house serving as battalion HQ. To mark her connection with the 10th Foot (as the regiment was originally known), the name Decima was added to those chosen by her parents and a regimental badge and a bar of soap, all that the battalion was able to offer, was presented to the mother.

Gilbert took part in bitter fighting at Winnekendonk in March 1945 in the battle for Bremen. His battalion had to make a final frontal attack across 1,200 yards of open ground. German paratroopers and an SS training battalion hung on grimly, sniping from first-floor windows and firing their Spandaus through holes in the walls at ground level. At "C" Company HQ, where Gilbert was in charge, an enemy bazooka team was spotted stalking through the back gardens towards them. The Lincolns held their fire until the leading man was five yards away and then let fly. Eight men fell.

At the end of the war, Gilbert accompanied the 2nd Battalion to the Canal Zone and then to Palestine on internal security duties before returning to England to be an instructor at the School of Infantry. Following attendance at Staff College and a posting to the Ministry of Defence, he was seconded to the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment in Cyprus for operations against Eoka.

In 1953, Gilbert was appointed brigade major of 44 Parachute Brigade Group (TA) before returning to the Lincolns, and served in Malaya during the Emergency.

Gilbert transferred to the permanent cadre of the Parachute Regiment in 1958. The next year, he took command of the 10th (County of London) Battalion The Parachute Battalion (TA). Appointed Regimental Colonel of the Parachute Regiment in 1962, he was responsible for a number of innovations, the most significant being the establishment of the battle training course for NCOs at Brecon which was eventually made mandatory throughout the Infantry. During his tour, he also founded the Regimental Parachute Freefall Team (the Red Devils).

Gilbert returned to the Territorial Army to command 44 Parachute Brigade Group (TA) at a time when the TA was under review and the structure and role of the Brigade were under threat. He excelled at developing the skills and potential of his soldiers and it says much for the high standards that he instilled that his Brigade was the only one to come through unscathed.

After attending the Imperial Defence College, Gilbert became Commandant of the School of Infantry, Warminster, in 1967. He was promoted major-general in 1970 upon taking command of 3 Division, his wartime formation. Working closely with 38 Group RAF, he devised and ran the first large-scale air mobility trials.

During this appointment, he was involved in a helicopter crash at Tidworth from which he and his wife escaped unhurt, and he was attended by the same good fortune when the divisional officer's mess was inadvertently shelled by the Royal Artillery. On another occasion, he arrested a soldier who broke into his house in the early hours. A colourful account appeared in the News of the World under the caption, "Strategic Command General in pyjamas catches intruder".

In 1972, Gilbert was appointed Commandant of the Joint Warfare Establishment at Old Sarum. He was convinced that there was a role for the airportable division on the European battlefield and foresaw, in many respects, the future role of the Parachute Regiment now embodied in 16 Air Assault Brigade. His views on air mobility operations, however, were many years ahead of their time and his forceful and tenacious advocacy of them in the face of entrenched attitudes in certain quarters did his career few favours. With no further promotion forthcoming, he retired from the Army in 1974 aged 54. He was appointed CB that year.

Gilbert moved to Heytesbury, Wiltshire, where he was to remain for the rest of his life. He established a holiday business there and became a director of the British Deer Society. Energetic, thorough and with an astute business sense, he joined forces with Sir James Spicer MP in 1980 to found Fitness For Industry. Specialising in the installation and management of health and leisure clubs and gymnasia, the organisation grew to over 90 centres. It rapidly became a leading fitness company, with many thousands of members, and was subsequently taken over by Granada.

In his later years, Gilbert was Honorary Colonel of the 1st Battalion The Wessex Regiment (Rifle Volunteers) and a director of the Windward Rum Company. He also became the chief executive of the Airborne Forces Charities Trust and founded the Friends of Airborne Forces Trust. A man of great charm, he inspired loyalty and affection amongst all age groups.

Glyn Gilbert, who died on September 26, married, in 1943, Heather Mary (Jane) Jackson (nee Green), the widow of an RAF pilot. She predeceased him, and he is survived by three sons and a daughter.⁵⁸⁰
