Sad to read Raymond Briggs has died. Many will of course know him for Snowman but his fictionalised autobiography ‘Ethel and Ernest’ covering #WW2 was very powerful too & shows the value of fiction in our understanding of WW2, especially for young minds: https://t.co/TeFSjyX2bx

An old pal Dave O'Mara (@croonaert) sadly left us yesterday; far too young, with so much more yet to achieve. Dave's legacy was immense and cast light in corners of the Great War that were previously dark. A generous & modest bloke, he taught us a lot and will be greatly missed.

Really enjoyed this book 'A Second Christmas Truce?' by @KarenEtteLufbra about the meeting of Ernst Junger's 73rd Hannovarians & the Leicesters at Monchy au Bois in December 1915. Well worth a read!

@rennyRichardso2 I don't have any specifically of the Crawley Company, unfortunately. I have ones like this, which I think is Chi, taken on Mobilisation, but it's not the whole battalion.

Bless ‘em All - today is #VJDay when on #VJDay75 we remember the British & Commonwealth soldiers of the ‘Forgotten Army’, but how to even begin to describe what that campaign was like? This artwork by Frank Pash, Instead of Leave Kohima, says perhaps more than a photo could.

Packing books for a move, I’ve come across some of my late mum’s artwork. She had a rare talent to copy things she loved and sketch birds and nature from memory. They bring back such fabulous memories of her.

#Ypres1940: Karl Salhof was one of those killed in the fighting in Flanders in May 1940. I rescued his papers and letters from a junk shop many years ago. He'd previously fought in Poland and was awarded a EK2.
