@churchill_alex David Jones (artist/poet) #ww1 RWF (pictured: via @ww1lit) did the opposite. He looked on the trenches & no-man’s land as a rugby pitch, trying to imagine what the hell was going on! I learned from https://t.co/2BPm9yCWm6 who I interviewed 12 years ago about his friend.

A vivid and incredibly moving demonstration of the Day the Guns Fell Silent on the Western Front. #ArmisticeDay

102 years ago today Pte Humby, 36th Bn AIF was in front of a Field General Court Martial on account of his reluctance to get up. His response to being asked to move is one of the finest things I’ve read of the war.
Tweeted before but it’s SO good it deserves another outing. #WW1

[National History Day @NationalHistory]

Wonder if there will be anything about Studdert Kennedy the vicar of St Paul's, #Worcester who as a chaplain on the #WesternFront wrote "rough poetry" & became known affectionately by the Tommies as "Woodbine WIllie".
