13 Nov 1916 – The Battle of the Ancre
OTD, British troops fought through mud, rain and bitter cold in the final major battle of the Somme.
It’s the same brutal landscape where characters trudge in The Orange Lilies, leaving echoes Morton Farrier will uncover a century later.

Can’t wait to get started on this book. It was Vita Sackville-West’s only detective novel and has never been published inside the UK.

Just received these WW1 medals (eBay purchase) which belonged to my 4th cousin, Frederick Henry Dengate. For some reason he never wore them.

Just had a very interesting tour of the Metropolitan Police Museum, which included the toilet door from Rillington Place, the bath from the Brides in the Bath murder and various other artefacts which have helped shape police procedures over the years. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Just posted a letter to Harriet McDougall’s brother-in-law’s great-grandson! Clutching at straws, I do realise, but hoping he might have some photos of Harriet, her husband, John and the three sons. 🤞🏻
