Paul Reed at @oldfrontline.bsky.social has a brilliant new video in which he analyzes 30 photos from the 1914 BEF. This is another of Paul’s very enjoyable and informative programmes. Highly recommended!

This must be stopped. A Law is needed outlawing the sale of poppy emblems in the UK for political or campaigning purposes other than Remembrance, unless 100% of the profits from such sales are delivered to the British Legion. @andyburnham.bsky.social #BritishArmy #RoyalAirForce #RAF #RoyalNavy #MOD
