My #nobservation told my jumper was too similar to the school uniform and I need to stand out. I'm a 6 foot tall man in a girl's school.

@blair_mayne @irelandbattles I got the dates from the sources above & others. The OP says it was the 2nd in 10 days.
As for the pic, I had used one of Mayne on his anniversary & the pic I did use gives a better idea of what the patrol would’ve looked like.
But you’re right, more interest in Paddy is great.

@TuathaIreland @medievalgill Brilliant, looking forward to it. Might I suggest @irelandbattles #MnáMondays series that covered Irish women in war too.

In the medieval period, Dublin was a city of boundaries, ditches, walls and gates. As well as the city defences, many large walls encircled the abbeys, churches and priories fringing the walled town. The post-dissolution remnants of these are highlighted below on Speed's 1610 map

100 years ago today the most intensive day of fighting in the Battle for Cork was taking place around Rochestown. To mark the anniversary of the bloodiest engagement of Cork's revolutionary period, this🧵explores some of the archaeological traces left behind. #BattleforCork100 /1

#OnThisDay 1942 The first of 300,000 US troops arrive in to the Belfast docks, preparing to fight in North Africa & Normandy. So many in fact that they make up 1/10 of the population. The US Rangers were formed in Carrickfergus. Below is PFC Milburn Henke.
