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.

@rickhough.bsky.social Started my Sunday in a manner that I think you'd approve of. 😂

Others with far greater knowledge of such matters will no doubt be able to confirm in an instant but I wondered about the Deccan Horse (9th) of the Indian Army in FWW.

Took this picture a couple of years ago for exactly the same reason!

Memorial includes 2nd Lt John Jarvie - a local headmaster. Died of wounds post Battle of Arras and buried in St Pol.

Jumped straight in while on the train to work this morning - praying I'd complete the order before we entered the Queen St tunnel. 😂

Saw Erland play a fantastic gig at a lovely little venue in Hannover in Oct so this will be a nice memento.

Only been twice but one of my fav cities. I was going to go with a chip pizza in the Piazza Brà but probably better to go with a nice evening shot of the Ponte di Castelvecchio!

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!

Some light weekend reading has just arrived. I may be some time....

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. 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇲🇪
