In 2025 @GreatWarGroup is going to be talking a LOT about Haig as a way of stimulating conversations that try to put all this “Lions Led by Donkeys” stuff into context.

If you want to be part of a new book about Haig, you only have a few weeks left to make your pitch to write a chapter. We have some CRACKING ones lined up already and the whole team is very excited! If you have an idea after reading below 👇🏼 you can email [email protected] or…

Phil Watson is heading up all things from Aldershot through to the end of 1915. Drop self or Locky a line & we’ll connect you.

@bigandylock is the sub-section head for 1916-1918

And I have the rest, that’s before Aldershot, after the armistice and any personal aspects. We’d all be delighted to talk through ideas!

My personal wish-list of things not get covered still includes something on how soldiers perceived Haig at the time, How the central powers viewed him would suit a German-speaker, something for the Somme, some Boer War content, the evolution of Haig’s legacy…

Don’t be scared! This is NOT a closed academic shop. We already have one contributor assigned a mentor as part of them developing their #WW1 interests - it will be his first piece of research, and we’re ALWAYS there for that sort of thing. Just ask @torkingt1 @thelegalseagull @wampasmudge etc.!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Things continue to move quickly, and we have decided that we will be going down the route of attempting to register the #GWG as a charity. We have appointed our first Trustee this evening, details to follow soon.

[The Great War Group @GreatWarGroup]

We want the #GWG to be like a family! @Trenchman1418 has been very poorly lately & logistics make him happy. Here are some mechanics from modern day Burma 🇲🇲 in action & a transport vehicle in trouble. Who else has got some logistics images for him? #GWG #GetWellSoonRob #WW1

Good morning from the #Somme

[Somme100 @Somme_100]

A big sale!! I refuse to use the words "black" and "Friday" because its not Friday and the world has gone mad. If you've got a war bore in your family make their Christmas with a commemorative item for the centenary and help veterans with PTSD!
