oddly enough - Saki joined up as a tommy ( killed in trenches)
and so was Mosley -
1915 Mosley ( after which mosley st Manch is named) ALMOST described the neutron in 1915.
They got atomic number - Carbon say - 6
They had got electrons - Carbons has six
they had got atomic weight - - 12
and Mosley was ALMOST at the point of saying - Carbon has six electrons, and so really must have 6 protons to balance- but it weighs 12 so there must be six equally heavy particles with no charge ( neutrons see?)
and someone wrote to the war office - does england have SO many nobel prize winners it can afford to send them to the trenches
and would you believe ...... the next time war came, in all recruiting offices, there were trained staff who would whisper
are you what they call - - - a scientist sir?
and they were siphoned off. Bletchley park was planned. it didnt spring up by chance

(*) the one Ritchie lost. He was so bad, everyone said beforehand, he is gonna lose this battle
