@IanPiper1 @sommecourt @Taff_Gillingham @militaryhistori @TrenchTrotter @ProfGSheffield @daniel_todman @ypreswoman @richardvanemden @AlanLaishley @charlotte_m_z I would recommend some of the old books on WW1 which were written by those who survived to tell their stories. Unfortunately, all my books are in storage at present. When I am re-united with them, I will send you a DM with my top 3 suggestions.

#Remembrance looks a little different this year. Soldiers have mapped a walking route around Colchester, providing an alternative way to reflect. It takes in locations that highlight the sacrifices of war, the history of @16AirAssltBde and of Colchester. https://t.co/7KtX3sRGUB

This week marked the 4th year anniversary of the publication of my grandfather’s story, ‘The Half-Shilling Curate’. I am so pleased that his story has been told and so many people have enjoyed reading his account of faith, love & war. He will never be forgotten. #WW1 #FWW #Padre

#LestWeForget Whilst visiting home, in Pembrokeshire last week, I had to visit this lonely soldier who rests nearby and who is not forgotten. Next time, I’ll take some gardening tools and tidy up around his gravestone. #WW1 #FWW #Saundersfoot #Pembrokeshire
