Corporate & Connoisseur tours of the Western Front. A high impact, emotional experience in expert hands.

Amid concern about the state of the graves in @CWGC cemeteries I spoke to the head gardener at Tyne Cot and he said they are using a more eco-friendly product. Clearly concerned about the problem, he said they were working hard to restore the graves to their pristine condition.

@Stonyhurst Wonderful tours, brilliant groups and amazing staff. Thank you so much!

What a privilege to hold the whistle used in the first ever @EnglandRugby international at Twickenham...also the famous 1905 match between @AllBlacks and @WelshRugbyUnion.
Amazing find by @tgkiwi @wrugbymuseum #history #sportingheritage #rugby

@SOEhistory Also on Leslie Humphreys from @Stonyhurst War Record. Colonel Buckmaster is thanked in the War Record along with C.M. Woods, SOE Adviser.

The story of PROSPER is told by the son of Suttill and in Patrick Marnham’s book.

@SOEhistory Items of interest for you from @Stonyhurst College War Record on Francis Suttill ‘Prosper’.

His name is on @CWGC Groesbeek Memorial in the Netherlands and the Valençay SOE Memorial.

Thank you to @PaulGarlington and @WW1_Education for speaking to Mr Goodman's Year 5 Wider Learning history group. The children learnt so much about the battlefields and the importance of remembrance. #limitlessdiscovery #lestweforget #onlinelearning

@socialtechno Thanks, Gordon. All the very best for Christmas to you, too.

The advent of the vaccine signals we may soon be unshackled from the chains of Covid. Here, in more certain times, I am off to visit Frank Dealy, brilliant footballer and cricketer, killed with his two mates while sharing their rations.

A sunrise as stunning as this makes me absolutely sure that people over the centuries- the Celts, Saxons, Vikings, Normans who populated this area - would have stopped for a moment just to take it all in. Have a great day, wherever you are, whatever your plans. @StonyhurstSMH

For actions on this day in 1914, Lt. Maurice Dease, 4th Royal Fusiliers, was awarded the first VC of the Great War. Read his remarkable story in “On Courage”, published by Constable (2018).

Had a fantastic time @RossendaleRadio with Jeannette Jackson @JJNutrition, talking all things #history #ww1 and plans for battlefield tours in 2020. And ... we managed to get a @Status_Quo track in, too!

1917 - what a roller-coaster of a film! Loved every second. I wondered in dread if it would trip out all the old WW1 mythologies, but it doesn’t. I’d be delighted to watch it over and over again. @1917 #amazing #emotional #gripping #SamMendes #1917Film

[Cristina GD @CristinaDoodles]

A short film about two brothers who fought during WWI. Honoured to have helped tell their story @PaulGarlington @StonyhurstSMH @SMHontheSomme

[Paul Garlington @PaulGarlington]

@MJW1980 @StonyhurstSMH @SMHontheSomme @Stonyhurst Thanks, Matt. Delighted you liked it.

[Paul Garlington @PaulGarlington]

@CristinaDoodles Thanks, @CristinaDoodles, and also for your professional drive in the filming and production. Kept me on my toes and we had great fun, too.

[Cristina GD @CristinaDoodles]

For Armistice Day today. This video was shot as part of my ongoing research into the men who appear in the film and who are commemorated here. RIP
