Living 2 hrs from Flanders Fields, Arnhem and the Bulge isn't that bad.
Proud Talboutousian.
Nice walk in Gasthuisbossen

With friends like him, one does not really enemies.
I don't think men can fully understand how threatening this feels to women
Trump addresses women: "I am your protector. I want to be your protector ... you will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger ... you will no longer be thinking about abortion."

@sommecourt.bsky.social Thanks for the podcast. Their journey in France would make for a very interesting day trip.https://oldfrontline.co.uk/2024/05/18/newfoundlands-unknown-soldier/

While on a hike around Hotton yesterday, I came across this memorial.

Thanks for the volg Paul. I was rather flabbergasted the first time I was there, driving through a Cemetery ws ad still feels strange.
Battlefield Vlog: Exploring the Meuse-Argonne Battlefields. In the latest Old Front Line film we travel from Varennes to Montfaucon to Cunel following the American Expeditionary Force in the battles of 1918.

A great addition the the Old Front Line podcast. 👍

Was there in 2020, between lock downs, very hot and it looked barren. Powerful place. The association has some interesting booklets on Main the Massiges. Thanks Paul.

It certainly was a great weekend.
Great few days in Ypres with some of my wonderful Old Front Line podcast supporters walking the ground and chatting about the Great War. As I left via Lijssenthoek, the song of a Mistle Thrush and Chiff Chaffs filled the air over the cemetery!

The OTD Military History YouTube channel is last than 300 subscribers away for my goal of 10000! That’s pretty awesome.

If you haven’t already please subscribe to the channel. I feel like hitting that number puts me into a different tier on YouTube.

I'm planning on hosting livestreams related to the Battle of Normandy this January and February in the lead up to the 80th anniversary. If you are interested in appearing or might know someone who is, please let me know. #history

Well it’s easy to fall into the validation trap but it doesn’t mean anything when it comes to the crunch. I was unsure about leaving Twitter initially because I’d be losing 11k followers; but can tell you it hasn’t made any difference to me. Just keep doing what you’re doing.

It seems I won't hit my goal of 10,000 subscribers by the end of 2023 but hitting 8K seems very likely.

Please subscribe to the OTD YouTube channel if you haven't already. Doing so helps the channel be seen by more people.
