an Hesperides song cycle, the Sudbury constituency and Colonel Hawkins's debut

Jack Hawkins, whose military career peaked in his being a Colonel, appeared in an American mini-series called QB VII based on work by Leon Uris. QB in this context refers to Queen's Bench.Any use?

Quilter.

Roger Quilter contributed songs to the cycle. Another Quilter was MP for Sudbury. A Peter Hawkins was the historian for the quilt in memory of people with AIDS. Or something about the Jordanaires. That's relevant too.

Things certainly move a lot faster around here
