		Rawlinson End was first mentioned in the Bonzo Dog Band song of the same name.
		BBC Radio 4 fished some of these recordings out of the vault for a very late-night repeat at Christmas 1996, but sadly there seems to be little chance of a commercial release.
		A second album, Sir Henry at Ndidi's Kraal 1983 recounts Sir Henry's disastrous African expedition, but disappointingly omits the rest of the Rawlinson clan.

		Henry Rawlinson was born in 1810 in the large manor house within the village of Chadlington in north Oxfordshire, close to the town of Chipping Norton.
		Rawlinson only received the material at the end of 1854, just when his cuneiform studies were eclipsed by his bitter disappointment at not getting a much-coveted job in Tehran and at the same time having a serious fall from a horse, leading to his retirement back to England.
		Rawlinson was no longer an agile young soldier, but a thirty-four-year-old diplomat in Baghdad, yet he had lost none of his mountaineering expertise and remained physically fit through horse riding and hunting.

	Henry Rawlinson - Wikipedia
		Rawlinson wist het oud-Perzische deel zelf zonder touwen of ladders te bereiken.
		Zelf vond Rawlinson een aantal rollen van Nebukadnezer in Borsippa, maar zijn voornaamste bijdrage lag niet zo zeer in het opgraven als wel in het ontcijferen.
		Het oud-Perzisch was weer vrij eenvoudig, het was een Indo-Europese taal, maar behoudens Behistun was er niet zo veel in geschreven.

	DVD Savant Review: Sir Henry at Rawlinson End
		Sir Henry's mindset is such that when he discovers that bathing in the effluence at a local sewage works eases his lumbago, he determines that fling himself up, dressing in a tutu and riding to the sewage works on a unicycle is the best way for him to travel incognito.
		Rawlinson End is so huge that Old Scrotum can only meet his master's calls in a timely manner if he precariously climbs up the outside of the house and enters Henry's room via the window.
		Her heart is warmed when she remembers how Henry, upon hearing that their elderly gardener had fallen and broken his leg, strode quickly into the garden and shot the man dead because "he couldn't bear to see even the lowliest of creatures in pain".

		In Baghdad, where Rawlinson was consul in the 1840s and '50s, his constant attendants were plague, malaria and restless Bedouins; so were a pet mongoose, lion and leopard.
		But as Lesley Adkins makes clear in "Empires of the Plain," her insightful page-turner of a biography, Rawlinson himself would have insisted that his greatest victories were in the fields of language and antiquities.
		Rawlinson also explored the ruins of Mesopotamian cities, digging for ancient clay tablets that carried other such messages from the past.

		Although Freeman’s History of Sicily throws much light on the history of Carthage, the later centre of Phoenician life, it was no part of his plan to essay a narrative of the whole of her fortunes—a task which, on a scale befitting its importance, still remains unperformed.

		During his occupation of his chair, George Rawlinson published a succession of histories designed to bring home to the public the general, as well as the particular, importance of recent discoveries and researches in the near east for the history of the ancient world.

	Command on the Western Front: The Military Career of Sir Henry Rawlinson, 1914-1918. by Bill Rawling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		For example, Rawlinson had surmised the proper application of artillery in a limited, `bite and hold' assault at Neuve Chapelle and while on the Somme, but later refused to coordinate the activities of his divisional commanders, as the new techniques required.
		It was not until the offensives of the summer and fall of 1918 that he matured as a battle-manager; but as the authors point out, this was more the result of the diminished role of the army commander than of any profound intellectual development on the general's part.
		In studying Sir Henry Rawlinson in his full context, Prior and Wilson state that their main goal is to broaden our knowledge of what happens at that level of command situated between the highest councils of war and the muddy trenches at the front.

		By examining Rawlinson's role in the War, the authors are able to follow the actual events of the battlefield and show how they related to the strategies of the High Command.
		Rawlinson kept a diary in which he recorded his views on tactics and the day-to-day events of the conflict.
		Rather, it uses Rawlinson as a lens through which to study the tactics of the time - tactics that usually proved woefully inadequate in dealing with the defensive positions that characterized industrial warfare.

	Sir Henry At Rawlinson End \| DVDs \| Entertainment \| Bizarre Magazine UK
		Making a movie based on Sir Henry was always going to a challenge; the story began life as a sketch on the last Bonzo album, appeared in instalments on John Peel's Radio One show, and eventually evolved into a full-length spoken-word LP.
		Like all Stanshall's work, the appeal of Sir Henry was his masterful use of the English language and lavishly posh, richly fruity accent (you'd never believe the man was from east London's Walthamstow), a commanding vocal presence that whisked listeners on a fleet-footed tango through the narrator's inscrutable imagination.
		The performances are stunning throughout, especially from Trevor Howard as the perpetually pissed Sir Henry, who captures the humour, tragedy and extraordinary brutality of Stanshall's embittered antihero.

		In 1833 Rawlinson was a brash, courageous and talented young British military officer and amateur philologist posted in Persia.
		He eagerly—and at great personal risk—devoted himself to the first comprehensive study of the famed cuneiform inscriptions at Bisitun, which covered a remote cliff face as large as a football field, having been commissioned circa 515 B.C. by Darius I of Persia as a personal monument.
		The subject of this biography, Henry Rawlinson (1810-95), made some of the first translations of cuneiform script.

	Henry Rawlinson Summary
		Rawlinson's work made it possible to identify ruins uncovered in Iraq as Assyrian capitals, including the famed Nineveh of the Bible.
		A huge library of clay tablets found in Nineveh yielded evidence that the Mesopotamian civilization was even older than that of Egypt.
		Among the most important works to emerge from the Nineveh library was the Epic of Gilgamesh, an account of the creation of the world and the great flood similar to those found in the biblical Book of Genesis.
