80 years ago, 250,000 prayer cards were being distributed - Patton's Prayer. A huge, rush print job, far beyond the capability of printers in the 3rd Army Adjutant General’s office. The 664th Engineer Topographic Battalion took it on: multiple, large offset presses being ideal for 000s of copies.😊

The Forgotten War Podcast: Burma Campaign WW2 is coming in Feb 2025 - here is a teaser episode discussing the Burma Campaign, remembrance, and the Kohima Epitaph - a phrase many have heard time and again, without really understanding the context.
In a teaser for Series 1 of The Forgotten War Podcast, Jack and Rob sat down to discuss the impact of the Kohima Epitaph - is this the Burma Campaign’s greatest contribution to remembrance in Britain? What else has the campaign given to remembrance?

'Saphire and Steel', ITV's answer 'Dr Who' (ITV, 1979). Assignment 2 (the second series), a seance, a ghost soldier, trapped souls, and the First World War. What is not to like?

This year's 'We Have Ways Fest' is from September 12 to 14, which coincides with my daughter's birthday and my wedding anniversary. However, I am not sure I'll be able to negotiate a weekend pass from the family to go (unless I persuade them to come with me).

It seems fitting that after participating in the remembrance parade yesterday, my daughter started watching 'Blackadder Goes Forth' with pauses for exposition. 🫣
