Research by @UniofGreenwich PhD students, @G_AWilliams & @JasminAthwal & in collaboration with @UKPHA, suggests there are thousands of Punjabi casualties missing from the @CWGC casualty database. Join us on Saturday to help find them.

I'll be with @TejpalRalmill & @record_this at @HampCourtPal on Saturday talking about the #PunjabRegisters and what they tell us about Punjab's role in the First World. Join us & learn how you can help the @CWGC identify forgotten Punjabi casualties. https://t.co/4UsvB0fSVu

Hi @EvansCycles. I bought @Lezyne Zecto Max from you in Nov 2023. It stopped working in Nov 2024. 2 of your customer service agents have told me you won't replace it - despite @Lezyne providing a 2-year warranty on all UK purchases, via @UpgradeBikes. Why such poor service?

[Gavin Rand @GavinRand]

@sheelagh58 I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as you remember it!

Hello @UPS! Is it possible to speak to a human being about a parcel which you keep promising to deliver, but never actually do…? None of your systems seem to work!

Congratulations to @flughafen_wien, which has today dethroned Stansted for coveted Shittest Airport award. Absolute shambles.

@The_mace64 @TheFramCC It was a rubbish game, in case that’s any consolation!

[Gavin Rand @GavinRand]

Applications for the @CWGC Scholarship close on 2 April 2024.

If you're interested in applying, I'll be online today from 1200-1300 for a Q&A about the #PunjabRegisters, the scholarship and what we're looking for... Join me on Teams from c. 1200: https://t.co/QSt4wxl2Bs.

We’re recruiting! Applications are now open for two, fully-funded PhD scholarships to explore the #PunjabRegisters - a unique archive containing the service histories of c. 320,000 Punjabis who served in the First World War... 1/10.

[Helen Mears @helenmears]

Interesting in using @RMGreenwich's collections in your research? See details of our fabulous fellowship scheme here, open to all able to demonstrate the ability to undertake independent research. Applications close Sun 10 March.

@ikonkarwaheguru @TejpalRalmill @amanmadra @UoGHistorians @UniofGreenwich @CWGC @NAM_London @HarbakhshGrewal @Jag_Kang @GMortonJack @ICE_Greenwich Thanks. We don’t have BMP records, I’m afraid - though I suspect that some of those in the Registers served with the BMP.
