TWJOI was made to support local cinemas in Suffolk affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and to highlight the incredible work done by @khakidevil at their site in Suffolk, who were also heavily affected by the virus. The film will be offered for free to local Suffolk cinemas
We have had a very busy week here at Brook Farm Camp, thanks to some excellent work by our Volunteers. 👍🏻
This is part of Darsham Village Hall which we are breaking for spares. Volunteer Alan is doing excellent work de-nailing all this original #FWW timber ready to re-use!

The fans of the BBC docudrama, ‘Somme; From Defeat to Victory’ among you, will be pleased to know that General Morland’s treehouse viewing platform is still in situ, sixteen years after we filmed the programme for #Somme90
Mind you, we wouldn’t recommend he use it again!
Our trenches received their Lockdown Haircut today!
After a fairly inactive 18 months they had taken on a rather 1920 look so the team have spent the day strimming and weeding before starting on some repair and maintenance work.
Still plenty of weeding to do but it’s a start!
Great War Huts is taking part in this year's @heritageopenday festival!

If you live in the #Ipswich area, this Saturday is your chance to see why so many high profile film & television productions are filmed here in Suffolk!

Another nice survivor cropped up this afternoon - an original 1914 dated web rifle sling, made by Hepburn, Gale and Ross Limited.
It still has lovely clear markings stamped into the brass work at either end.
Old Chumrade Dickie Ingram was chuffed to find that he still fits into the 1940 Pattern Battledress Blouse he wore on the #KhakiChums 1994 #DDay50 and 1999 #Holland60 Tours, and he hadn’t seen since until today.
