Be Inspired by Harry D. Colebourn

Harry D. Colebourn was a Canadian veterinarian and soldier with the Royal Canadian Army Veterinary Corps and is best known for donating a bear cub named "Winnie" (short for "Winnipeg") to London Zoo.

Winnie later inspired the creation of A. A. Milne's famous children's book character Winnie-the-Pooh.

Harry Colebourn was born in Birmingham, England and emigrated to Canada when he was 18. He attended the Ontario Veterinary College, where he received his degree in veterinary surgery.

Factoide #4244

(#4244) La historia de la osa que inspiró Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh es uno de los personajes más conocidos en la literatura infantil, lo que pocos saben es que la inspiración de la popular obra de Alan Alexander Milne era en realidad una osa proveniente de Canadá, donada por el capitán del Cuerpo de Veterinaria del Ejército Canadiense al Zoológico de Londres. La historia comenzó en 1914, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando el soldado veterinario Harry Colebourn decidió atravesar el Atlántico con una pequeña osa originaria de Winnipeg, Canadá. El entonces cachorro estuvo alrededor de cuatro meses con las tropas canadienses. Originalmente, la osa tenía por nombre Winnipeg pero luego se simplificó a Winnie. Cuando Colebourn fue informado que debía ir a combate en Francia consideró que la travesía no iba a ser segura para la osa, por lo que decidió llevarla al Zoológico de Londres. La amistad con Christopher Robin Fue cuando Winnie estaba en el Zoológico de Londres que conoció a Christopher Robin, el niño que se hizo famoso a través del libro de Alan Alexander Milne. "Christopher Robin tenía un oso de peluche y le cambió el nombre que tenía por el de Winnie. Alan Alexander Milne se inspiró al ver al niño jugando con el oso Winnie y otros animales de peluche que tenían todo tipo de aventuras en el bosque detrás de la casa" , explica Mattick. Winnie estuvo aproximadamente 20 años en el Zoológico de Londres. Durante ese tiempo, gozó de gran popularidad entre los visitantes. "Se escribieron muchos artículos acerca de lo amigable y bien entrenada que estaba. Dejaba que los niños se le acercaran y hacía trucos para ellos. Fue una atracción muy popular durante muchos años". Para Mattick, la amistad entre Winnie y Christopher Robin fue real. "Christopher podía acceder a ella, era casi una mascota. Aparentaba ser una amistad verdadera y única" Lindsay Mattick escribió un libro acerca de la relación de su abuelo con la osa llamado "Encontrando a Winnie: la verdadera historia del oso más famoso del mundo."

“You're braver than you believe and stronger and smarter than you think.”

Can you name this famous bear and if you can name this very well known bear, can you name the stories that have been donated to the Wood Street Mission and the 'Books Forever Appeal'?

The human was called Harry D. Colebourn (April 12, 1887 - September 24, 1947) and he was a Canadian veterinarian, and he also served with the Royal Canadian Army Veterinarian Corps during World War One.

On the 24th August 1914, Harry rescued a small black female bear from a hunter who had killed her mother. Shortly after this, Harry named his little cub after the city of Winnipeg, where he lived.

There are "friendship" statues of Harry Colebourn and his famous bear in Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo and at the London Zoo. A 2004 film about Harry and his bear also starred Michael Fassbender, David Suchet and Stephen Fry.

Donating one of your favorite childhood stories to Wood Street Mission’s 'Books Forever Appeal’ couldn’t be easier. You can drop it off in person or even have it delivered to the Wood Street Mission, 26 Wood Street, Manchester, M3 3EF, The UK.

It's January 18th. On this day in 1882, in 👑 London, England, was born Alan Alexander Milne – destined to become known and beloved as "A. A. Milne," the creator of 🧸 "Winnie the Pooh." Young Milne began his education at 🏫 Henley House School, which was run by his father, and was fortunate enough to have H. G. Wells as one of his teachers. Milne went on to attend Westminster School and Trinity College of Cambridge, where he 🎓 graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 🧮 Mathematics.

Milne's passion was not math, though –it was ✍️ writing. He penned many poems, short stories, novels, plays, and film screenplays during his lifetime, but his most famous works, of course, are his "Winnie the Pooh" stories, which were published between 1924 and 1926. Most of the characters were inspired by his son's stuffed animals. Christopher Robin Milne had named his teddy bear after "Winnie," a 🐻 black bear he often saw at the London Zoo. 🍁 Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn had brought the bear from Winnipeg, Manitoba, and donated it to the zoo. Lt Colebourn is the one who originally named the bear "Winnie." Christopher Robin nicknamed a 🦢 swan "Pooh" that he and his father had seen while on vacation in West Sussex.

Many of the locations in the stories are based on real places in 🌳 Ashdown Forest, near the Milne home at Cotchford Farm, Hartfield, Sussex. Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood was really Five Hundred Acre Wood. Galleon's Leap was really the prominent hilltop, Gill's Lap. The Enchanted Place was really a clump of trees just north of Gill's Lap.

By 1931, Winnie the Pooh was a $50 million a year business. In 1961, Walt Disney Productions obtained the rights to Pooh, and since then, the 🍯 honey-loving bear in the red shirt has introduced himself and his friends to many new generations of life-long fans (including me) all over the planet.

And in Winter

This statue in the Children’s Nature Playground at Assiniboine Park shows Winnie with his owner Harry Colebourn, a Winnipeg veterinarian.

[girlactionfigure]

On August 24th, 1914, a veterinarian with the Canadian Army preparing to deploy to France during the First World War recorded a rather odd purchase in his diary: "Left Port Arthur, 7am, On train, bought bear, $20." Lieutenant Harry Colebourn (left photo) named the live black bear cub "Winnipeg" after the Canadian city, and took her with him to England. Winnipeg was a charming mascot who kept the troops entertained, but when it came time to cross the channel to France, Colebourn knew the war was no place for his bear. He borrowed a car and drove Winnipeg to London, where he gave the bear to the zoo, where she lived out the rest of her life. Winnipeg was a huge hit with the visitors, and was so docile that the zoo staff even allowed visitors to enter her pen with her. One such visitor was a young boy named Christopher Milne (middle photo), who became so enamoured of the bear that he immediately changed the name of his own stuffed teddy bear (right photo) from "Edward" to "Winnipeg", or "Winnie" for short. Christopher's father, himself a veteran of the First World War, began recording the imaginary adventures his son was having with his stuffed bear, and sent them off to the publisher. If you look carefully in the upper window in the background of the middle photo, you can see that Winnipeg and Christopher are being watched by the boy's parents: his mother, Daphne Milne, and his father, author of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, Alan Alexander Milne.
