@cgdhopkins check the spelling of 'Acknowledgements' ? Proof-reading my own work frightens me!

@TJGodden Great thread Tim - so well written and poignant... and an echo probably of the experience of many other families over the years...

@MeetAtDawn @boiry62128 Used to walk past this memorial every day on the way to school... was quite imposing to an 11-year-old...

@HughJRichards Love the stuff you produce: photo used = the gun being fired by the Indian Army soldier appears to be a BREN, WW2-era? Or the curved magazine is not one and my old eyes are deceiving me (great enquiry focus btw)

[Steve Warburton @somme95]

@only1womble @Airfix Sorry to hear that, but great your kids bought you a kit :-) Built @Airfix Belfast 40+ years ago & is possible that your model was a Vintage Classic produced recently but from those old moulds. I recommend anything badged as 'New Tool' on their website=great quality+excellent fit

Retweeting to broaden awareness... in what state to fight were the men Sir Ian Hamilton identified as being '.. in rags and looked very tired. This is the first time in the campaign our rank and file have seemed sorry for themselves...' by September 1915?

Erich Maria Remarque’s anti-war classic gets its first German-language adaptation for the screen REVIEW: https://t.co/ETdWjl0hvd

@Posthorne01 @SteveJChambers @Gallipoli100 He wasn't a favourite of @Gallipoli15CHTL either ... CHTL called him a 'theoretical' not a 'practical' general ... which is an interesting turn of phrase ... and perhaps meant more to military people in 1915 than it does now?

[Steve Warburton @somme95]

@KathrynWW1 @TheWFA I think that @CambsWFA has a collection of postcards relating to post-war images of WW1 battlefields

[Steve Warburton @somme95]

Lucas would command 87th Brigade (29th Division) opposite Beaumont Hamel in July 1916 - another day when his command would be decimated (August 21st 1915 on Scimitar Hill, Suvla Bay was another... Battle of Arras 1917 would be another...) #ww1 #gallipoli
