rue des Dardanelles

La rue des Dardanelles, #paris17, débute boulevard Pershing et se termine boulevard de Dixmude.
Elle a reçu ce nom pour perpétuer le souvenir de la bataille des Dardanelles durant la Grande Guerre.

C'est tout le secteur qui renvoie vers la 1GM Rue du Dobropol, Rue de Salonique, Bd de Dixmude, Bd de l'Yser.

Yesterday, McManaman and Gerrard.
And then Sky cap them with Carragher and Jordan Henderson for tomorrow night.

TNT IS quite simply K*pite TV.

Would you like to know about 100 objects from the First World War in the Bavarian Army Museum? The link below is to a PDF of the whole of this fantastic book. Vielen Dank an das freundliche Bayerische Armeemuseum.

A family of three—a woman, a man, and a young girl—stand closely together in Experience Barnsley , attentively examining a large illustrated wall map titled “Welcome to Barnsley’s Heritage.” The colorful display features hand-drawn landmarks

A young child with blonde hair sits inside a small vintage-style green toy racing car labeled with the number 8 and the logo “J40.”

A young child with blonde hair, wearing an orange sweatshirt, plays in a sensory sand table with the help of an adult in a green hoodie. The child holds a green plastic trowel, digging into a tray filled with dark brown sand-like material, uncovering a small buried object

We have monthly relaxed openings at Experience Barnsley Museum and The Cooper Gallery for visitors who prefer a quieter experience.

Our next one is during half term, 28 October and we open an hour earlier for a 'quiet hour'

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think we have similar hopes in this regard.
I do wonder, however, whether *anything* #FWW will get any traction next year.

I’m sure this will be your opportunity to tell people more about your research.

Thanks for being the first to respond. Do you let me have your thoughts at some point

Just out of interest, if you’re interested or involved in #FWWHist, what might you expect by way of events or media coverage in 2026 for the 110th Anniversary of the 1916 battles of the #Somme and #Verdun, as well as the #FWW #WW1 more generally? Anything? Nothing?

Visited the Imperial War Museum today, and spent the entire day in just two exhibits.

The first is the new “Emergency Exits: The Fight for Independence in Malaya, Kenya and Cyprus”

It's been incredible this week to see something that I, along with many others, have been working on for several years...

📣 Emergency Exits: The Fight for Independence in Malaya, Kenya and Cyprus.

A new exhibition running at the Imperial War Museum between Oct 2025 - March 2026.

I was approached last year to join the advisory panel and have been so delighted to see this project come to fruition.

3/ The drama of football with Jack Grealish fittingly to star in the dramatic ending.
More of that at Bramley-Moore Dock will do.
Thanks for helping a good weekend become great, #Everton and my fellow #Evertonians - especially the little group around me in the North Stand. We did our bit. #UTFT

2/ Didn’t play astonishingly good football but, as they tired, we grew into it. Alcaraz and Beto showing why they think they deserve to start. Iroegbunam (still developing) in a situation where he can play. A terrible ref doing all he could to be ‘even-handed’ didn’t ruin it. Scenes at the end.

Posting the day after the #EFC game is going to be my ‘thing’ I think. Yesterday turned on half time changes. But not just the game. The day. So much ‘new routine’ before. A poor performance against v good side. Then to a different level. Passion lead to belief. Crowd reaction to effort=*Support* 1/

I saw an excellent photography exhibition in the large room that leads to the dome of the chapel. It was documenting aspects of the medical services’ work in the First World War. You’ve managed to take better photographs than I have of the models.

I always knew this was the museum for you. I even restrained from posting the gas masks out of consideration for you. Thanks for following the tip.

Drinking alone? It’s the slippery slope.

I always tell myself before that second BIG glass of red.
