THREAD: Over the last three years, I have been given the amazing opportunity of working with the British Army - guiding recruits and junior soldiers around battlefields of Northwest Europe on their Realities of War exercises. Due to the contract coming to an end, so do the tours.

One regiment. One day. More than 500+ dead. Who were the men behind the numbers? I’ve updated the story of the 315e RI with new research, into their ages, ranks and the devastating losses of 25th September 1915, plus the story of it most famous soldier 315eri.substack.com/p/25th-s…

🇫🇷 What was the deadliest single day for a French regiment during WWI? We think Verdun? The Somme? Champagne? Yday evening I was looking at the French Army casualty records from 1914–1918. The results reveal some extraordinary & unexpected figures and tragedies. 🧵

Not long back from a wonderful family break for Baby Moore's first battlefield tour! We visited Ypres, the Salient and French Flanders, where - I'm happy to report - she took to the battlefields like a duck to water. First of many visits, I hope!

Fort Vaux has changed! I’ve visited the fort several times over the years, but 2 weeks ago I returned to find a completely new 'immersive' visitor experience...... Immersive worried me, but is it actually better? ▶️ youtu.be/3GbwE_Fe-Nc?si=RUbJ…

For the last few years many of you have followed the story of Sgt Jules Destrigneville through the letters & photographs. Today, the first part of a 3 part series of videos. It's the story of one ordinary French soldier, told in his own words. youtu.be/Jwqtjq2_Li8?si=A8Lu…

Back to the battlefields this week - a great 3 days out guiding. Brilliant weather, a great group and the joy of being in some of my favourite places on Planet Earth. A great way to get back into the swing of things!

WW1 history on social media today is more and more AI slop. So thought I would give a shout out to my channel and why follow. Every video is built from: • battlefield visits • Archive research • Family letters & diaries • Real locations, not AI youtube.com/@ri315e?si=rV9Z2…
