Military historian of sorts. Latest books: 'Laugh or Fly', 'Chain of Fire: Campaigning in Egypt & the Sudan, 1882-1898' & 'Beggar Me: I'm a Prisoner'. But really I'm mainly the lead singer of 'Those Naughty Lumps' and 'Pete & the Lovehearts'
It's going to be fab! Put it in your diary today!

"Don't remember them as old or frail; remember them as they were! Determined men, sometimes frightened, but fighting as best they could for their country and a cause they believed in." Recommend @peterhart.bsky.social's story of the 16 DLI in Footsloggers. Thought-provoking and novel. #histbookchat

@pikegrey1418.bsky.social will be giving an exclusive talk about the Battle of Galicia. This oft-ignored scrap in 1914 consumed a million casualties along a 200 mile front in three weeks!

Fabulous series. Quite the drama. (And that’s just Pete & Gary!) I knew nothing about this story (except a little mentioned during the Haig series, which mercifully they finally finished also!) and learned lots. Thanks as always! Buy the book everyone! #History #MilitaryHistory #podcast #book
