The last allied soldier to be killed on the Western Front in 1918 was American Henry Gunther; at 10:59am on the 11th he charged astonished Germans who knew the armistice was only seconds away.

Today is the 100th birthday of Richard Burton!
And this house is his birthplace, in Pontrhydyfen. You'll know the viaduct behind him; he's crossing it with his father in the iconic 1950s photographs by Raymond Kleboe

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Standing room only and improvised sun visors to the fore on the first day of Glamorgan's match v the Australians, St Helen's, July 31st 1926. They were rewarded with seeing the Australian dismissed for 283 and Glamorgan closing on 85 for 3. That was as good as it got and Glamorgan lost by 224 runs

The video is right: Southwell Minster is one of England's least well-known cathedrals, but it's one of the finest. We don't even get to see its glory: the medieval stone carving ("The Leaves of Southwell") in the Chapter House.
