@curryman07 Mate, that’s amazing - thank you so much. You may not be a professional but you are really bloody good at it! I had thought his story was lost…

[Timcarpo @timcarpo]

@curryman07 @kejamieson_ Harry - if you have a moment I’d love to know more about my great-great- great uncle who I think ended up commissioning into the East Yorks in WW1 - this is all I’ve been able to find and don’t know where to go from here!!

@youngj185 Jen, (as always) completely on point - if anyone is questioning, please trust me when I say she will have your back!

[Jenni Young @jen6061]

Any serving female who feels she can’t approach her CoC about something like this, look me up on MODNet. I’m D&I trained and happy to fight your corner. Fully pensionable so don’t care who I upset, I’ve got your back

@ian_blewett @ClaireBFBS @ForcesNews Not perfect in implementation (lacks full combat team capabilities) - but a good concept..

[Timcarpo @timcarpo]

@ian_blewett @ClaireBFBS @ForcesNews Appreciate the rhetorical nature of the quessy, but it’s a brigade, organised as a combat team (all atts and dets are organic to it as a matter of course, not bolted on for individual events from another CoC), which recces for deep strike (physical FIND, Arty strike) - simples..

Op #TANGHAM is the British military presence in #Somalia.

Since 2016, TANGHAM has been building the capacity of Somali security forces by delivering training & equipment.

Part of this support saw the UK grant Somalia Light Wheeled Tractors.

Lots of talk today about Britain’s Army chief General Sir Patrick Sanders being sacked / resigning in protest over plans to further gut the Army by CDS Admiral Tony Radakin…(1/10)

Happy Waterloo Day!

@combat_boot @CorunnaSmudge Bovvy doesn’t have a pub unless you like a country walk. 45 mins over the fields to the 7 stars (however in winter those fields are flooded and impassable) so it’s an hour to the pubs in wool. Then they wonder why the Ph2’s are all being done for drink driving to Bournemouth…

[Timcarpo @timcarpo]

@CorunnaSmudge @combat_boot Exact same for bovington.. it’s an hour walk to the train station to access Bournemouth, Poole or Weymouth.. another example of the entire estate being in lovely place but completely arranged around early marriage, kids and two cars..

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

Pre-tied bow ties are ludicrous and embarrassing. A pretend bow should be in an eight-year-old girl's hair, not round the neck of a grown man. Learn to tie a proper bow tie.

A short thread on Charles Ewart, Sgt of the Scots Greys at Waterloo, famed for his Eagle capture on the 18th June 1815.

He died #OnThisDay 23 May 1846

Born 1769 (same year as Wellington & Napoleon) in Scotland, he joined the Dragoons when he was 20.

@rorysutherland The way I look at it we are moving from the era of creation to the era of curation - neither role will disappear but their parameters and required skill sets will drastically change..
