Pitching articles, updated my CV and on the school run and it’s not even midday! If anyone out there is in need of a freelance writer on topics from military history to Football and beyond, don’t be afraid to get in touch. 🤩✍️ #writing #history
@BowersWrites Just for the record: Private Heath Matthews of C Company, 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment, awaiting medical care after night patrol near Hill 166, Korea, 22 June 1952.
@BowersWrites No one hates or fears war more than those caught in the midst of it. When you tell these stories as you do, you shine a light on the fear, risks and irreversible sacrifices of conflict. That is a crucial to avoiding same happening again. Please keep at it.
P.S. I'm as objective as anyone can be with my history writing (noting that we ALL have biases that come out sometimes), but let me make one thing clear: Liberally-minded military historians/historical writers exist, and I'm one of them! Do with that information as you will.
Today, I had to deal with someone calling me a "flag waver" for writing military history as if I'm blinded by nationalistic idealism. Now, I'm reminding myself that I tell these stories not for the glorification of war, but for the remembrance of those caught in its wake.
A specific request for my aviation historian friends: Could anyone point me in the right direction of information on the RAF over Juno Beach? @SpitfireFilly, @jamesjhistory, @SteveJChambers, @1940Andy and others?
No trip to New Glasgow should be without lunch at The Blue Lobster (note the hockey punch-up in the background of @Annie__Bee's photo).
How can I worry about finances but also spend so much money in New Glasgow? Maybe it's because my new handmade tea mug is to die for. It even has a place to put my thumb!
Major Jack Myer Secter of the First Special Service Force, Anzio, ca. 20-27 April 1944. Jack was from Winnipeg and initially enlisted with the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. He was killed one month after this photo, and buried at the Beach Head War Cemetary in Anzio. Credit: C.E. Nye.

@BowersWrites @Sweepers3945 And who bought us our freedom - dearly.
@BowersWrites Everyone has their opinion. You tell an important part of our history. One that some seem to lack the compression of. Maybe they will get wiser as they age. Keep being you!!! 💜💜💜
@BowersWrites @SpitfireFilly @jamesjhistory @SteveJChambers @1940Andy Sure, drop me a DM.
I'm delighted to announce that I'll be the National Geographic Expert on @NatGeo's D-Day anniversary expedition this June. And I believe there's still a couple of spaces if anyone fancies joining! nationalgeographic.com/expeditions/de…
By…being stoppable?
@BowersWrites There will always be people making assumptions about your beliefs based on their own prejudices. Ignore them and keep doing the extremely important work that you are doing. Our history MUST NOT be forgotten.
@BowersWrites Always going to be haters. You are NOT one of them.
@BowersWrites You're going to get people like that Alex. Keep on reminding yourself of why you write these stories and let the critics who seem to simply like to criticize rather than say nothing ...try to brush them away. Not always easy but necessary for well being
@BowersWrites If you do not write about the history, we will forget about it. If we forget about it, we lose sight of who we are and what costs our freedoms took. Keep writing!
@BowersWrites As someone who studied history and practiced journalism, I'm here to say there's no such thing as "objectivity" in either one. No "neutrality" either. History and journalism are ALWAYS acts of interpretation, taking place within social, cultural, historical and other contexts.
@BowersWrites Yeah - you'll always get that with military history. Still, I wish there was more about the people who are always well and truly FUCKED during wars - the civilians just minding their own business whose homes, fields, and lives are destroyed. The ones REALLY caught in the wake.
@BowersWrites As a veteran I appreciate everything you. Thank you, Sir.
@BowersWrites Grateful to you for your work. We must remember their sacrifices. I fear that are far too many willing to go down the same blind road to facism and hate. All of the things the Greatest Generation fought against.
@BowersWrites Ironically, these stories need to be told because our parents and grandparents would never speak of their experiences and sacrifices. Cheers
