Moved from the other place.

Don't post very much. Mainly middle aged man stuff - history (WW1 in particular), music, food and a small amount of football.

Glasgow - Scotland
Perfect weather this morning for the @cwgc.bsky.social War Graves Tour at the Old Town Cemeteries as part of #Stirling Open Doors weekend.

I was lucky enough to be on this year's tour at Easter and would thoroughly recommend it. Really fascinating few days walking the ground and benefiting from @seaspitfires.com encyclopedic knowledge of Sword.

I defy anyone to look at this and still say integration isn't working in the UK.

Can't recommend Chris' work highly enough. I've been amazed with what he's been able to uncover in each report. Especially after I'd hit dead ends with my own efforts.
Well, I am finally over the hump of work in writing my next book, and I have found ways to offload a couple of other things in my life, so capacity has opened up again. My research work for private clients is back in business and open for orders! www.fourteeneighteen.co.uk

Genuinely feel a bit of a fraud given that I've managed to gather a couple of hundred followers merely as a result of being a @greatwargroup.bsky.social war bore! I'm very an enthusiastic amateur rather than a real historian of #WW1 but grateful nonetheless.

I'll try & post more rather than lurk!

Hugely lucky with my travels in 2023. 3 visits to Germany including Valhalla (Regensburg), Hannover and a humbling visit to Dachau. A new country - Montenegro. And return to the Somme post COVID. 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇲🇪
