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.!

@Pro_Patria2 @SpitfireFilly Nah - we’re to busy just working hard, earning out stripes and refusing to acknowledge it exists! We’re all about positive energy. Just make yourself so good they can’t NOT have you in the room

The most rewarding part of this week has been the women participating in Q&As, young & middle-aged women coming up to say they enjoyed my talk, & fathers of daughters who said they are inspired by a young woman speaking on airpower. We're slowly getting there ♥ @WomenDoHistory

[Women In History @WomenDoHistory]

For #AncientSiteSunday an impressive site: Il Teatro Tempio Monte San Nicola, a theatre- temple complex at Pietravairano, 60 km north of Naples. The sanctury complex was built in the 2nd/1st century BC and seem to have lost its original function in the ...1/3

Geraldine Zonhoven, pictured here as a toddler, with the woman who saved her life by sheltering her in German-occupied Belgium.

Geraldine is still alive today with her own family, thanks to the woman who was prepared to hide this Jewish child all through the Second World War.
