#OtD 11 Oct 1946 the UK govt announced that 39,535 people were squatting in 1038 military camps across England and Wales. Many were ex-servicemen's families demanding housing after WWII, and eventually a forced the govt to build mass council housing stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8350...

Anticipating heaps of in-depth coverage of the extensive crimes of this heinous individual across the various outlets of News UK... Oh wait 🤦

There was a lot of very interesting things in it, I will have to listen to it back in full when I get some child-free time 😁

The scale and complexity and sheer grimness of it all really came across 😱

My grandad and assorted comrades - I will have to go through my mum's papers to find out who else is in it

Copy of 'Jungle Commandos' by Lucy Betteridge-Dyson plus framed photo of veterans at the Commando Memorial in Lochaber

Just received my copy of 'Jungle Commandos' by Lucy Betteridge-Dyson - looking forward to digging into this long-needed account of the hellish Battle of Arakan and getting some sense of what those there endured. @lmbd1418.bsky.social

Cheers for the recommendation - it definitely looks like it is in his wheelhouse 🫡

A kid's bookshelf full of manga books

He's been enjoying The Dungeon On Blood Island so I suspect he will fully explore the canon at some point - currently he's very manga-focused!

He was genuinely snorting and hiccuping with giddy excitement as he tore through it cover-to-cover, reading aloud every other spread 😁

He's going to take it to his D&D club this week to share it with his pals 👍
