Harry Raffal from the @rafmuseum.bsky.social speaking at the Military Leadership in African History at the Nigerian Defence Academy.

Hello from Nigeria!

At the MHC conference at @ISCTE in Lisbon.

At the @nationalarchives.gov.uk.web.brid.gy in Kew, looking at the records for the three African divisions that fought in Burma as part of the 14th army. This is the first clear mention of Seth Anthony, a Ghanaian who was the first African to become an officer in the British Army.

Had a good time at #ASA2024 #africanstudies.

My new book on the #nigeria #biafra #civilwar is on the way and you can pre-order it on Amazon or wherever you get your books.

Heading to #asa2024.

I spent my #sunday locked in fierce combat against a massive #raccoon that took refuge in my toolshed. Everyone was unarmed and the raccoon fled after an hour.

My new book on the history of the Nigerian Civil War has a cover and is now available to pre-order on Amazon.

Very excited to have completed this important work.

Happy to announce that the new issue of the Journal of African Military History has been sent to print. This is a special issue about the Southern African experience during World War II and should be available on our website soon.
