Very excited to be part of the Great War Group Bristol conference. Oct 17th/19th. Do come. Lots of interesting speakers as well as a certain artillery nerd! #FWW #WW1
Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.
I will indeed!
Really pleased to be at Clan Cameron Museum, Achnacarry (that's near Ft William)next Wednesday (27th Aug) to talk about this gem. Captured at Loos by 5th Bn Cameron Highlanders. If you're around do come along (11.00-15.00) - I'll be the lonely nerd standing by the gun. #FWW #WW1 #Greatwargroup #WFA
Really glad that Sharpe and his men didn't have to come up against this gun at Barossa! It's an 1880s German 15cm breechloader. Still in use during the Great War.

Great to see my 2012 book reissued in paperback - as with all the books in this series, it’s an introductory guide. Pleased that readers found it of value

Could the first be 'accid' =accidental. ?
