@lokster71.bsky.socialyoutu.be/KTdvulIiKu0 - A video outlining some of the contents of the 9 volume The War Illustrated published from August 1914 to February 1919. #WorldWarOne #WW1 - I don't normally do this but @alexchurchill.bsky.social you might find this interesting - assuming you've not seen it before.
@lokster71.bsky.socialyoutu.be/NbLC5Cc78Pg - This is my Remembrance Reads Announcement video which talks about my Reading Plans for my #WorldWarOne #WW1 annual November Reading Project.
@rationaldispatch.bsky.socialOn Christmas Day 1914, German and Allied soldiers spontaneously paused the fighting. For a brief window, they crossed enemy lines to trade gifts, share laughs, and kick a football around the mud of No Man’s Land...
@lokster71.bsky.socialThey'll be a video - tomorrow or Tuesday - outlining the launch of this year's Remembrance Reads, which is my November #WorldWarOne reading project. This is my fifth year doing it. The one book I re-read every year is 'In Parenthesis' by David Jones. But other World War One themed books are read too
@profjasperh-b.bsky.socialJust started reading a big biography of Sir Edward Grey, Britain's Foreign Sec when World War One began. Yes, the chap who gave us that famous prescient quote... Perfect bedtime reading, being an ideal read when the lamps are about to go out. #History #WorldWarOne #HistoryBooks #Books #GoodReads
@thedexmchenry.bsky.socialA fun game of Square Bashing. Wilfred Owen dies again! Thanks to @stormofsteel.bsky.social .

@nextgreatread.bsky.social“They called it the Great War, but that implied worthiness and grandeur, not violence and helplessness and the utter waste and devastation our country, our city, our people endured.”

@hartleyspecialc.bsky.social“It was like hell in a rough sea made of shell holes”
Lieutenant Basil Henriques' account of the tank advance at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, the Somme.
It was #OnThisDay in 1916 when tanks were used for the first time in an en masse attack
