Completed a review-article of "Wales in England, 1914-1945 A Social, Cultural & Military History" (OUP) by @wugolini for the Welsh History Review.

A seminal text. The first book-length study of the Welsh at an all-England level; the first book-length study of the 2nd generation.

@CymryLloegr Many thanks for your generous comments. I look forward to reading your review in WHR.

@SilenceInPolish @ianpacemain @amwilson_opera @andrewpconnell @OUPMusic Hi Jenny! My book Experiencing War as the 'Enemy Other' outlined how British Italian servicemen who fought in Italy felt a heightened identification with all aspects of Italian culture. Anecdotally, there was wider appreciation of Italian foodstuffs postwar.

Thanks @wugolini ... a great article. I visited him this weekend as the cemetery in near where I am based. Incredible story..

Thanks Merryn. It is interesting to see which groups commemorate Donnini and which do not (and how this shifts through time).

@OurItalianRoots @SunderlandEcho @Terri_Colpi @SimocbPalladin @wugolini @ItalyinUK @FederationFHS … young Fsr. Dennis Donnini VC was remembered well recently, with a group following in the footsteps of the 52nd Lowland Divison (Walking With the Jocks). Here at Lind and Stein, but his grave and others are visited regularly at Sittard CWGC.

For those interested in Donnini, I wrote this article a while back:

Only 15 years to the centenary of the Second World War in 2039! I hope NZ is not caught short like the main event in 1939 or like the mad rush in the lead in to the centenary of the FWW and cash being splashed willy-nilly. What was the longterm legacy of the WW100 investment? 🤔

@WWIIadvertising @SWWresearch Hi David I think @MMoffski looked at this from a Scottish perspective.

[Prof Wendy Ugolini @wugolini]

Delighted to have been interviewed by Miranda Melcher @NewBooksNetwork about my book 'Wales in England 1914-1945'. We talked about Wales as a site of solace for the 'broken' English soldier & lots more:

@WhatHuwKnew Wonderful!

[Prof Wendy Ugolini @wugolini]

Thanks @WhatHuwKnew - that means a lot. I feel you deserve a prize for being such an early 'adopter' of the book!

[Prof Wendy Ugolini @wugolini]

@SilenceInPolish Haha! Brilliant photo. Loved your paper.

[Prof Wendy Ugolini @wugolini]

@SilenceInPolish Reading matter very on point 😊

@LiamJLiburd @DrDionGeorgiou Hi Liam My first book addressed the anti-Italian riots of 1940 and also the idea of Italian migrants in Britain as sitting on the boundaries of whiteness:
