Postscript from a biography

Gordon, Leonard A. (17 March 2019). Brothers Against the Raj: A Biography of Indian Nationalists Sarat and Subhas Chandra Bose. Rupa Publications Pvt. Limited. ISBN 9788129136633.

I have the 1990 edition of the book but certain stuff seem to have been added. A postscript is supposedly present at Pg:- 392-394; which covers Anuj Dhar. Also, certain stuff about Mukherjee Commission seem to have been added, which (prob.) can be located from the index. Please dispatch the concerned pages.

For Anuj Dhar. Thanks, ∯WBG^converse 09:49, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A page (or few!)

Happy New Year, RXers! GBooks says that on p.441 there's stuff about one Thomas de la More (and a bloke called Egremont). Would it be possible to get this and a couple of pages either side? If anyone's feeling even more generous, a glance at the index to see if de la MOre (or Delamore) has any other mentions would be eve kinder :) hopeful thanks in advance! ——SN 54129 17:25, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Strand Magazine, 1947

Anon. (July 1947). "Eight Young Artists in Search of an Editor". The Strand Magazine. Vol. 113, no. 679. pp. 70–78.

For Monica Walker (illustrator)

@Pigsonthewing: Holdings of issues from 1946-1950 (during which time it was just Strand) are spotty and difficult to locate. The University of Leeds has v. 113 in their special collections [1], but I don't believe we have any volunteers who could visit. The University of Michigan [2] and Harvard [3] also have the volume. Perhaps FourViolas or Wugapodes (via inter-library loan) could help. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:56, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brenton Langbein obituaries

{{resolved}} Graham87 04:51, 24 January 2020 (UTC) It appears that I've lost access to Factiva, which could have probably help me, so here I am. I'm looking for any further obituaries of Brenton Langbein, particularly those from Australian newspapers. The only one I have access to is from The Times. If I recall correctly Factiva had at least some coverage of reliable newspapers from around June/July 1993, but if you have access to another newspaper source that could be handy here, feel free to use it. Thanks! Graham87 08:54, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham: Newspapers.com have brief obituaries from The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, but nothing that The Times obituary doesn't already have. I can clip them for you if you'd like. But you may find this useful – there's a section in it that covers The Brenton Langbein Music Collection; it also mentions his death. —Bruce1ee^talk 09:31, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruce1ee: Thanks for that link, very interesting! It also led me to this notice of his birth, which is amusingly apt. :-) I won't need the Sydney Morning Herald or the Age obituaries if they've got the same info as the one in The Times, but I'll leave this open just in case anything else comes up from something like the Adelaide Advertiser (though I don't know if digital archives for that newspaper anywhere go back that far). It seems like, so far, there's no publicly accessible info on what type of cancer killed him *or* any partners/children who survived him. Graham87 09:59, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87: Two other possible sources:

Meyer, T. (August 1993). "Zum Tod von Brenton Langbein". Dissonance / Dissonanz (in German). Vol. 37. Switz. pp. 31–32. (may also be in French)
"Obituary". Opera. Vol. 44. September 1993. pp. 1048–1050. ISSN 0030-3526.

Neither immediately accessible, but someone here could probably obtain them if you need them. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:20, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Worldbruce: Hmmm, interesting. I was thinking they're might be sources from Switzerland/in German ... could it be worth asking the resource exchange people at the German Wikipedia, perhaps? I was also thinking of emailing the State Library of South Australia in Adelaide ... since, as pointed out in the link above, they have quite an impressive collection on him. Graham87 14:41, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87: sent Meyer. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:25, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Worldbruce: Thanks, got it, partially through Google Translate. As you said it doesn't contain the info I'm specifically looking for but it does seem to clarify a couple of things. I'll mark this as resolved because I think it's the best we're going to get here ... I'll get in touch with the South Australian state library. Graham87 04:51, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87: I checked Trove but the latest article I could find was 1994. It briefly mentions that he died in a bigger article, but not an obituary. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:28, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re omission of types of cancer from obituaries: I just found this relevant article, which certainly provides food for thought. Graham87 13:13, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
