TV legal chap. First World War MA (Wolverhampton MAfia) and PhD candidate. Studying the performance of 6 BEF divisions on the Western Front 1917-1918. It’ll be mostly that on here, just so you know. Plus some general nonsense. And a bit of the Chels too.

Goodness, lots of new followers. I’d best do one of those intro posts.
Me - fifty something chap working in kids TV. That’s the day job. But after some soul-searching a few years back I decided to take my interest in the First World War a bit further. This is an understatement, as you’ll see. 1/x

This will be great! There are so few books in English on the Italian front of the First World War, so this is a huge service to readers

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Today’s article is up and it’s a special feature all about the active part Charles de Gaulle played in #WW1 🇫🇷 ⚔️ achurchill.substack.com/p/feature-ch...
FEATURE: Charles de Gaulle’s First War
On Tuesday I posted a free piece that looked into the legend of Charles de Gaulle: who he was, and where he came from; ending with his joining his regiment just prior to the First World War.
