At the Gallipoli Association conference last week it was a pleasure to bring the Orlo Williams cipher officer story to a wider audience.

Sold lots of books, and the good news is I still have a few softback copies left at £17.99 incl UK postage. DM me if you are overseas 📚

What a great review of Inside GHQ - An essential Gallipoli read www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/review...

The regional @gallipoliassoc.bsky.social conference held in conjunction with @greatwarhuts.bsky.social was a great success today. With nearly 70 attendees & mix of Western Front rain and Gallipoli sunshine, the day couldn’t have gone better. Thanks all for attending
