More book action! (But Africa, not the Far East - I was not yet caffeinated) 🇫🇷 🐸 🕯️ 📚

Batshit French naval officers, friendly fire incidents, the crew of one very busy civilian-converted-bomber against Mussolini and a C/O’s last stand to rehoist the French colours. It’s rock n roll rabbit holes galore. And probably all for absolutely nothing but what else is a Friday night good for?

The Royal Family, the Royal Navy, Jutland, and a second son who wasn’t a monumental dickhead just doing his bit.

Loved this book - proper cozy read for these miserable long nights! And as ever Vaseem was a delight to talk to

What do you do if Ian Fleming's family ask you to expand the Bond universe? If you're @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social, you give Q a fascinating life of his own and a murder to solve! @alexchurchill.bsky.social @boneyabroad.com Watch: tinyurl.com/45dxf4ut Listen: tinyurl.com/yc847v3r

With apologies for my norovirus, but get to know us before we return by delving into the vault!

More book reveals! #WW2 🇫🇷

I seem to have somehow passed 250 articles, features and podcasts on Substack without noticing… Not bad value for £5 a month… And if you sign up you get access to everything posted so far. To celebrate, here’s a free one about some batshit Russian women…

Several times recently I’ve been asked “what can I read about Pétain.” The answer is, in English, not a lot. I have absolutely no intention of one-day writing a biography of this complicated man. What I don’t mind doing, however, is a multi-parter on Substack achurchill.substack.com/p/article-pe...

Part 3. They’ve started arriving from France now… Also, I felt sorry for myself over the weekend and ordered three more and I’m not sorry…

The worst is the ad for a new google phone where it says: If you need your phone to find an answer for your friend, wouldn’t it be better if your phone just told you? HOW ABOUT PISS OFF AND I’LL TALK TO THE HUMAN AND THE INANIMATE CAN JUST MIND ITS OWN DAMN BUSINESS.

Will our U.S. members be watching the "big game" today? Americans also enjoyed their version of football in the First World War to keep soldiers fit & occupied. Pictured is the victorious 89th Division team that beat the 4th Division 14--0 while in the Army of the Occupation in the Rhineland.

Our next @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social FREE newsletter is going to drop at the beginning of next week. This month’s free article is going to be from a forgotten part of the Western Front, so make sure you sign up in time to to find out what it is!

Very excited to have my name down for this one. Will post exact appearance details when confirmed! www.iwm.org.uk/events/iwm-d...

MORE BOOKS! Still not a flicker of regret. Cat. a. stroph. i. cally. (I blame the meds)

The social media content you’ve absolutely (not) been waiting for. But you can live vicariously through the shame of how many books I ordered this week by opening them with me as they arrive… #Bookslutting @15minutebook.club #BookSky #WW2 🇫🇷

Me waiting for the first book to arrive when I’ve already completely forgotten what I ordered and refuse to check because it will make it more exciting when the packages drop

Do give our new podcast a listen! There’s a range of episodes from History to Politics to Music and even some choice fiction. We’re having lots of fun!

I cancelled my Amazon Prime at the beginning of the year and ceased ordering from them. Granted I live in London and can find most things but I haven’t missed it one bit. I’m finding that most third party sellers also list on ebay anyway.

Was just in awe of Marion’s eloquence in talking about his latest book!

It’s true. I hit send on the article lol.

Presumably the location of a CWGC cemetery was proving inconvenient to the demands and requirements of an ongoing genocide. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

I did a three-parter on what de Gaulle was up to in #WW1 But what was his future wife up to in Calais as she came of age in 1914-18? achurchill.substack.com/p/article-ww...

I will post sad nerd opening videos as they arrive so all the other booksluts can live vicariously through my fiscally irresponsible purchases
