Ops Normal Volume 2 is really taking shape. The chapters covering the deployment of the 3 Regt AAC Battlegroup to Iraq do, however, have significant omissions. Not a single contribution from any ground crew personnel deployed on FARP operations. Please contact us to rectify this. – at East, England

Private Edwin Charles Xerxes of 11th Sussex on the memorial at Tyne Cot. Not a common Sussex name but before I go down all kinds of rabbit holes to find out, does anyone know his story?

Steven Seagull, my trusty emotional support gull is on hand as we set off on the first tour of the new academic year. Off to Ypres for @AngliaTours with the staff and students of @Greshams_School. Always a pleasure to meet up with them again!

Chris Kolonko-Weet on his work investigating anti-invasion defences and the Home Forces who would have largely operated them in WW2. In doing so he reminds us, 1. Quality historical writing can be digital first & 2. Good researchers deserve support. #HistoryWritersDay24

I'm going to produce a video on Market Garden which will include all that I learned about Market Garden in the past 14 years. Don't know when it will be finished, but it will be an ongoing project in the background. (End of message. 😊)

Don't worry if you didn't get the GCSE results you hoped for. You're on Twitter, which means you're old and it happened ages ago.

Dear @ScottishPower his name was Albert. You were happy to use his full name when you overcharged him for years but a lot less communicative when it came to paying him back. Don’t worry, you’ll get your money. Sorry if the death of my father has inconvenienced you slightly.

Released to the supervision of a Probation Service already at breaking point thanks to the idiotic attempt to privatise it and where staff are routinely dealing with workloads of 150% capacity and more. Guess who’ll get the blame if something goes wrong. bbc.com/news/articles/c047dk…
