"Muskets are mostly inaccurate beyond 80 yards...so a lot of the killing is done with the bayonet... this is really eyeball to eyeball."

Lovely work, needs pencils to push though.

I don’t know about changed me, but war of the worlds was the first book that took me to a different place.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

A stained glass window memorial to Lieutenant Edmund Gay at Aldborough church in Norfolk, included within the design is his last landscape. A way to transport the viewer standing in a quiet English parish church, to the corner of a foreign field in which Edmund now lies.

As a teacher it’s hard to put into words how amazing it is to bump into someone who was having a rough time when you taught them and find out they are thriving.

UKIP protest in Sheffield today looks as tragic as you’d expect. Very nice of them to protest on remembrance weekend to remind us what they were fighting against

Excellent thread. If nothing else we should see the fact that Putin regards the EU as a threat because of the way it binds and strengthens nations as one of the best arguments for keeping it.
I am not a lawyer, just a historian, but one fundamental problem with the political debate about the EU, especially in English publications is that the whole principle of the acquis communnitaire is not understood or taken seriously. The EU is a framework of rules, not an alliance.
