I have stood on the ground where my great-uncle Captain George Hall fell in 1918.
I drive the 1937 SS Jaguar that features in my father’s Aristo Autos books.
And every week we bring forgotten stories of the Burma Campaign, SOE and British military history back into print — alongside memoirs, thrillers and distinctive fiction.

Clocks back, autumn in the air and glorious sunshine in London.

And a reminder that Islington isn’t all lefties and liberal intelligentsia. There are still a few British classics lurking in Islington.

Nearly 90 years old, proudly British and, naturally, right-hand drive.

@ABrucelockhart @realmattfalcon There are certain words that the brain decides to misspell however hard you try!

Read the beginning of AJP Taylors history of 1914-1945 and weep.

@nickfshort Not too bad

@militaryhistori Not before time… But better late than never. I remember visiting ROF Nottingham in the 1980s where they made 120mm &105mm tank barrels. Bizarrely they also made 115mm smooth bore ones for T-62s that were owned by countries like Egypt that had fallen out with the Soviet Union.

@MozPerkins These are sound principles for life!

[Dr Robert Lyman 🇺🇦 @robert_lyman]

What is a better apology for slavery than stopping it?

Britain did this long ago, at vast cost and the commitment of the Royal Navy.

Why is this still a conversation, if not gesture politics?
