bit warm down here today

Military history chums: does anyone have access to AS Hamilton's History of the Rough Riders? I could do with a photo of pages 4-5. Thanks in advance!

This sums it up

This production company is Windfall Films. They paid me (finally) a month or so ago after I tracked their founder down on LinkedIn but they have still not paid my colleague @sarahloumiller.bsky.social so balls to them. I won’t be working for them again.

🤗 Repost from @musicscope • On June 17, 1971, “Tapestry” by Carole King reached number #1 on the US Billboard 200. Its deeply personal songwriting and timeless appeal helped it remain on the charts for years and earned it a lasting place in music history.

From 1803 this is the book you need if you have a battalion to drill... from what I can make out its a bit like synchronised swimming, but on land, and without swimsuits, and with a few hundred chaps...!

On January 12, 1934, HMS Nelson, the flagship of the Home Fleet, ran aground as it left Portsmouth Harbor, preparing to embark on its spring cruise. Ironically, the Nelson stumbled at Hamilton Bank. youtu.be/o23WRbdk_sA?...

Bit of help needed! Someone's contacted me after failing to find any details of death/burial of a Royal Artillery soldier who died in Khartoum in 1912. His death is known from info given by army's financial effects register. I can't locate any registration of death, either. Thoughts? #genealogy

#Histnursing nurses, officers……and puppy ! 1918- any idea where ?

@pahendry2015.bsky.social @parhistory.bsky.social The last sentence …..

This came up today in farcebook memories. Me being held up by 2 landing craft veterans on the 60th anniversary of D Day. My dad was on a landing craft somewhere that day in 1944

Big marketing/sales open day tomorrow. 10 till 3. Haslar Heritage Group will be in the church answering questions about the history, and selling books and other treasures

The model of gas chamber and crematorium II from Auschwitz II-Birkenau. The crematorium was equipped with five 3-muffle ovens capable of burning 1,440 corpses in 24 hours. The undressing space & 210 sq. meter gas chamber were located underground. --- Photos: https://www.instagram.com/hendryck.pahk/

Bloody hell. I'm 73. I hope I don't look this!! 1940s depiction of OAPs!

Here are just some of my commissions from the last few months, they include quite a range of stories and subjects that I wouldn’t have likely considered without my wonderful clients. If you’ve got a story you like told or a piece in mind why not get in touch? Timgodden.co.uk/contact #ww1 #ww2

Welp there’s no unseeing this

What a sad story, and a sad reflection on social care services

Ieper last evening

In Ieper. Useful background for our Lys Lollop tour @fourteeneighteen.co.uk

Sir Thomas Lawrence’s two brothers (and a niece) are buried in the burial grounds here at Haslar. Not a lot of people know that! We (Haslar Heritage Group) went to the RA to see Thom Lawrence’s letters to confirm it. We were buzzing!. Rev Andrew was a padre here.

Who looks at these flags on roundabouts and lampposts and feels pride? Far right thugs and racists. And who looks at them with fear and loathing? Everyone else. National flags are being used as Nazi bunting by Reform and the far right. Let’s call this what it is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

For #InternationalNursesDay

1/3 🧵May 11 1920, In Albert, France, Frédéric Gadmer takes these autochrome photos in their original colour 106 years ago. The pictures show the city's Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Brebières. During #WW1 German bombardment reduced it to ruins en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilic...

nice memorial just added to the staff room RN Submarine Museum/ HMS Alliance. Incredibly brave submariners

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!

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...

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?
