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!

I recently picked up a copy of “Over the Top” by Arthur Lambert. The author served with the HAC on the Western Front. My copy originally belonged to Horace G. Sennitt, who was in the same unit. He carefully made notations on the margins throughout the book. #WW1 #FWW #WesternFront #BritishArmy

Here is an outstanding essay that a soldier wrote to "The Nation." It was published in the 21/10/1916 issue on pp. 104-106. This was a frank and realistic oped from the trenches to the living rooms of British homes. #WW1 #FWW #WesternFront #BritishArmy #Tommy #History
