50 years ago tonight six families lost their fathers and husbands. Graham Hill, Tony Brise, Ray Brimble, Andy Smallman, Tony Alcock and Terry Richards all died together, and with them the promising F1 team, Embassy Racing. We will always remember them. https://t.co/hQ6DXBeIDX

Officially the battle of the Somme came to an end #OTD in 1916. British units attacked on the Ancre & beyond the Bapaume Road, Canadians fought in the snow at Desire Trench near Courcelette: I took this there a few years ago: dappled snow echoing the shell-smashed ground of 1916.

This helps to illustrate why the Germans thought they were under machine-gun fire when they first encountered the riflemen of the British Expeditionary Force in 1914. The British Army trained for this kind of rapid fire.

@1940Andy @Robfromnorfolk @LordAshcroft @I_W_M I have to agree. I visited with my brother a few months ago. Truly inspiring. Unlike all the rest of the changes. The rest of the Museum has been ruined in my opinion

[michael wilmot @mickyw123]

@sommecourt @GreatWarHuts Yes. Hamel military cemetery

[Lord Ashcroft @LordAshcroft]

People often ask what inspired me to build my collection of Victoria Crosses and George Crosses.

The answer is simple, it is the stories of bravery and heroism they represent.

Do try and visit the #LordAshcroftGallery at IWM London before it closes.
