@Scarletboy44 @ReassessHistory Agree with Jonathan but always worth checking if original war diaries exist. Could be in German or US archives, or both. Or long gone of course.

[JonnyBriggs @briggs_jonny]

@Thorley_forDad Yes, definitely looking at worse case scenarios.

@HistorianBlood @TheUCS473 Is that you in the foreground Phil?

[JonnyBriggs @briggs_jonny]

@J_O_Holliday @cguyver @LozSchlepper37L I'm not sure I can see any though I could easily be wrong. I wonder what it says on the original picture? There's a Bundesarchiv number on there. Odd group.

Very interesting piece. Well worth a read.

In my latest applied history series essay for @WarOnTheRocks I explore the deeper meaning and abiding relevance of the writings of the once hugely influential late Roman military theorist Vegetius. https://t.co/V9A6SyNGdI (1/5)

@HistorianBlood @LozSchlepper37L I know, but the war diaries are a free-for-all...

[JonnyBriggs @briggs_jonny]

@LozSchlepper37L Like many aspects of the British Army during the SWW, I'm convinced people did whatever they felt like and both are 'correct'.
