Today is #PloughMonday, the traditional start of the English agricultural year. While local practices may vary, the holiday is generally the first Monday after Epiphany. A common feature is for a plough to be hauled from house to house in a procession, collecting money.

It’s #PloughMonday, the day that traditionally saw the resumption of work after Christmas. In some regions it was common for a plough to be hauled from house to house accompanied by a man in the role of the ‘fool’ and someone dressed as an old woman called the ‘Bessy’.

The latest instalment of my series on German sniping in #WW1. No secret that I am more interested in people than in unit organisation and structure. As such this instalment is very much a piece from the heart
