188: Mary and Lance Corporal Colin Colgrave
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mr grandfather Colin Colgrave volunteered to fight for his country in World War 1. He left a wife, Mary and two young children, Olga Mary and Colin Junior, at home and set off to Beverley in Yorkshire to sign up to the East Yorkshire Regiment. He had promised his daughter that he would send postcards to her for the post card book he had bought. He sent cards from his training camps and other places he visited, and from Egypt when he was later posted there. He also wrote letters to his wife and to his son, and Mary wrote back to him regularly although he often didn't receive them so regularly, more often several at once. Some of her letters were returned together with his other belongings after his death. He had promised Mary he would send some of the silk postcards made by local women and also a rosary from Lourdes if he could. These were all kept safely by Mary together with his army records and his medals. It seems that the children were allowed to play with his medals as the appropriate ribbons have become detached, which I imagine Mary felt might keep their father in their memories. After all they were only 5 and 2 respectively when he died. My mother Olga Mary always brought us up to respect Armistice Day and when we were lucky enough to acquire our first TV, we were encouraged to watch the service and parade at The Cenotaph, and stand in silence for 2 minutes. It wasn't until after her death that these treasures came to light. After all, no-one ever wanted to talk about the war. Colin was fatally wounded in the Battle of Mouquet Farm (1916) by a rifle shot which caused a compound fracture to his right femur. He was taken to the No. 3 Canadian Hospital at Boulogne but developed gas gangrene and died at 0310hrs on 26th September 1916. 16818 Acting Corporal Colin Colgrave, of 6th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment, is buried at East Boulogne Cemetery, France. He was 24 years old and gave his life for our tomorrows. May he rest in peace.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
