The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

AMAZING NEWS! Well done @universitypress.cambridge.org and @antiquity.ac.uk!

Anzac Day 1985, I’m the one in the middle 🙄

Spring at Haslar

Beautiful day. Stokes Bay this morning

It is terrible. Bad history. Avoid.

As my maternity leave comes to an end, a reminder that I’m now offering an archive photography service primarily for museums/archives in the south east England (IWM, TNA, BL etc etc) to help make ends meet. Details below: lucybetteridgedyson.com/archive-rese...

Western Approaches museum Liverpool

Liverpool Exchange newsroom staff war memorial, rather lovely and with a nurse

Don’t know what happened here 🙄 Reloaded with the app and now I’m ok 🤔

@nursinghistory.bsky.social A pal of mine posted this today on facebook, I thought you’d like it.

Just one week left to take part in our short survey on veterinary practice preparedness for natural disasters. It only takes 3 minutes, and you could win one of ten £30 Amazon vouchers as a thank you. We’d really appreciate your support! app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/surrey/pre...

Sending one back today, pass it on

Museum of Military Medicine.More work this week on the (medical) files from the Central Health Records Library, previously ‘stored’ at a facility in Shoeburyness.  Before digitisation they have to be transferred from very old unsuitable filing boxes into archive boxes. 1/2

Help please from #suffrage historians.🙏After arrest in France in 1915, the journalist Dorothy Lawrence describes meeting ‘Mrs. Pankhurst’ & ‘another prominent suffragette’ on the Boulogne ferry. This was on/soon after 25 September. Emmeline was touring Wales but did she make a quick trip to Paris?

Ok guys and gals, while the bebeh and I have been sick I’ve been working on a new side hustle idea, hope to be up and running with slots from July: lucybetteridgedyson.com/archive-rese...

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

Can you help? I need recommendations for guest speakers to talk to my group in the New Forest, we seat 80 to 95 people twice a month. Military history speakers, aviation, WW2, WW1, etc. If you've seen anyone to recommend please say, or if this sounds like you.

A couple of months ago, I was a guest on the Global Health Histories podcast series, talking about the history of medical care provision for disabled ex-servicemen in Britain after the First World War. The episode is now available and can be found here: ahc.leeds.ac.uk/directories1... #ww1 #histmed

Am sticking with my bet that the right is reading this wrong and that the majority of voters are not at all unhappy Starmer has upset Trump by holding back from a war whose purpose and end game no-one seems able to define.

Very foggy after a sunny morning

🐴 Although formal #LunarNewYear festivities have come to an end, the Year of the Horse has just begun! We invite you to gallop into a horse-inspired virtual tour through nature and from our Collections, including specimens, ranching tools, and even the Horse Conch: go.nhm.org/lunar-new-ye...

visitor on the (first floor) sun terrace this morning

Does anyone know of any work on the ‘Daily Express Nursing Corps’, formed in August 1914? I’m researching someone who apparently paid for the training, exams, & uniform but then was unable to secure relevant employment. #WW1 #NursingHistory #histmed #medicalhistory

"You have played the game, go on playing it and all will be well with the great Empire which you have helped to save" A 1919 demobbing letter, printed on cloth but individually addressed and signed by a Lt. Col. of the Sherwood Foresters.

An intriguing find in amongst a box of military history books. This is a WW1 trench candle. It's very evocative. One can imagine its tiny lighyt on an upturned box in a dug out, perhaps illuminating the writing of a letter home.

@lmbd1418.bsky.social one for you RMO with the Coldstreams in Italy 1944

One sailor's war from North and West Africa to the surrender of Singapore, the death of a friend, images of shipmates, RMS and HMS, a crossing the line certificate, love this kind of thing...

Excellent thread

Love your pet day

BREAKING: RFA Argus to be scrapped www.navylookout.com/rfa-argus-to...

A gulp of Thames cormorants (yes, that’s the collective noun) - some facing east, most looking west. Wrongly identified as penguins by a fool with a loud voice on a passing Thames Clipper…

Starting on Wednesday at 8pm on Channel 5, watch Our Hospital Through Time. Tune in to see us showing @profaliceroberts.bsky.social our collection items and discussing the history of St Bartholomew's Hospital #History #Archives #HistMed #HistNursing

Incredibly powerful front page from the Sunday Post ‘These are the faces of the close to 200 women killed by men in Scotland over the last 16 years. Many were murdered in the one place they should feel completely safe - their own home. Today, we ask for your help in ending misogynistic violence’

Slightly different angle today at HMS Alliance

On Redcoat History Podcast tomorrow with @parhistory.bsky.social to talk about London Pride, TF and the Great War. Link is here; www.youtube.com/live/qkRb4n2...

We pride ourselves on being a democracy and yet there’s a medieval theocratic anachronism in the heart of parliament: 26 bishops with automatic seats in the House of Lords. (The only other country in the world with clerics automatically entering a government is… Iran).

Great news. MPs should also pay attention to our campaigns: ● Remove the 26 bishops Religious office should not grant automatic voting rights in a parliamentary democracy. ● Scrap parliamentary prayers Attending prayers should not to provide speaking advantages🧵 observer.co.uk/news/politic...
