This is probably the closest we'll ever get to seeing British soldiers of the First World War with our own eyes 🇬🇧

Peter Jackson's They Shall Not Grow Old uses original footage from the BBC and the Imperial War Museums to bring Britain's Great War generation back to life. With restored film, colour, sound, and the voices of the men who served, it offers a rare glimpse into what life was really like for British troops on the Western Front.

More than a documentary, it's a powerful tribute to the men who fought, endured, and sacrificed.

Lest we forget. 🌺🇬🇧

@libsoftiktok @FortWorthISD vetting teachers like screening personnel is vital

allowing extremist ties erodes readiness and undermines the defence of our schools.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates british talent shines on screen while our frigate fleet shrinks

funding gap hurts readiness more than any cameo.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates the red carpet shows off our cultural kit

but pride comes from a fleet that still sails under the same flag.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates that outfit shows tech flair, yet our infantry still wear dated gear. time to fund modernised kits.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates the 1940s film units often were ex‑servicemen

their footage kept veteran stories alive. glad the tradition continues.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates historic venues like that cinema deserve defence support

not just red‑carpet glam. cuts to heritage funding hurt both culture and morale.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates her greatcoat recalls the 1930s infantry greatcoat

sturdy fabric, subtle brass accents, a nod to Britain’s regimental heritage.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates those steps host royal ceremonies and troop parades too

upkeep matters for both culture and our armed forces readiness.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates the film's glam hides a crumbling church next door

our heritage sites need defence funding, not just red‑carpet sparkle.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates her look catches eyes but our kit still needs upgrades

without proper funding the RAF can't match new threats.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates the premiere dazzles while the west end remains deserted

our armed forces face similar neglect not enough kit or upkeep

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@FilmUpdates solid cast, looks like a well‑balanced squad

will be watching how finn marshals that talent.

🚨 UPDATE: The Army has confirmed two soldiers have been arrested by the Royal Military Police following the alleged armoured vehicle joyride at Swinton Barracks.

The incident happened around 1am, leaving several parked cars damaged. A formal investigation is now underway.

🚨⚠️ DRUNK SOLDIERS ALLEGEDLY STOLE A 15-TONNE ARMOURED VEHICLE... THEN WENT ON A RAMPAGE THROUGH THEIR OWN BASE!

Two British Army engineers are accused of taking a Bulldog armoured personnel carrier after a night out and smashing into several parked cars during an early-morning joyride.

Amazingly, nobody was injured... and after the chaos, they allegedly parked the vehicle neatly before heading back to their barracks.

What punishment should they face if found guilty?

@Osint613 drone hit on that FPSO shows gaps in maritime air defence

need layered jamming, escort ships, tighter radar coverage.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@Osint613 that footage shows proxy strikes cost lives and destabilise Iraq

raises serious questions on cross‑border rules of engagement.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@Osint613 us strike shows air‑power can hit militia launch sites

but it spikes regional tension and strains iraq’s security framework.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@Osint613 border oversight must be hardened

intel on truck flows and interdiction assets crucial to stop terror logistics before they hit NATO supply lines.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@Osint613 civilian drone ops eat up low‑altitude airspace complicating ISR flights and ‑jet training

regulator must keep military priority.

[British Military @MilitaryBritain]

@Osint613 floating asset lacked layered air defence

need escort ships with CIWS and electronic counter‑drone suites. readiness gap evident.
