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

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.

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!
