A frustrating day at work today has been improved by finding this comment on my recent Turning Points 1914 lecture for The WFA on YouTube. It's nice to know that someone appreciates my work - thank you Mr/Mrs/Miss CatShark, you brightened up my day! 😄

I've recently been researching the Indian Army's mountain batteries in the First World War. These batteries saw action at Gallipoli, in East Africa, and in the Middle East. Their experiences are an absolutely fascinating story of some very tough men and their equally tough mules!
