Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed them. I suspect it is my fault they did not get the attention, I have been in the Middle East for the last four years and therefore did not market/promote them very well!

Let me also recommend me these first class books from @benkite1. I looked them out to comment upon the latest @forgottenwarpod. Good books that didn’t get the attention they deserved in my opinion.

@daryl_lynch Thank you Daryl, I am so pleased you enjoyed it

[Battlefield Design @BattlefieldGD]

Giving @benkite1 's brilliant 'Stout Hearts' ( @Helionbooks ) a gentle refresh. I can’t recommend this book highly enough!

@whincupm @SteveGoldsmith5 Thanks Fellas!

@James1940 @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Perhaps over-rated too James? By some at least.

I really enjoyed chairing this panel at the 32nd Australian Institute for Professional Intelligence Officers’ (AIPIO) annual conferences (a fantastic event). Some amazing panelists and great questions from the audience.

@austdef Well spotted I blame Twitter’s auto-correct

[Ben Kite @benkite1]

I loved reading Gerry McKay’s vivid book on his experiences as an Australian Infantry Platoon Commander in Vietnam. I understand it is quite well known in Australia, but I would also commend it to a wider international audience.

[Ben Kite @benkite1]

@ex_major Yes that was my first thought to. But I am struggling with BIF

[Ben Kite @benkite1]

Just bought this cigarette/card case to put my business cards in. Do any of my historian friends have any suggestions on which regiment ‘The Dukes’ might be referring to and who B.I.F. Might be?

[Ben Kite @benkite1]

@Masonicmoron Now that is interesting!

[Ben Kite @benkite1]

@SimonWelburn I think Harry Patch was DCLI but it certainly could be the DWR

[Ben Kite @benkite1]

@NickoChampion Of course!
