On this #poppyday, it is good to see it is now easier to #remember the contributions of men #India and #Pakistan #LestWeForget Records of 320,000 Punjab soldiers from #firstworldwar uncovered theguardian.com/world/2021/nov…
I'm very proud do say this shocking report came about because of our @UplandsTV documentary The Unremembered. Made for @Channel4 presented by @DavidLammy and based on the brave research of Prof Michele Barrett. theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/a…
The role and contribution of Black soldiers in the British and Commonwealth forces during the Great War is back in the news today, which is hugely welcomed. To discover more about those on the Western Front, do listen to this episode of @OldFrontLinePod: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…
Very welcome, if surprising, given the #Tories' anti-woke rhetoric and attempts to stop discussion of Britain's past #colonialism. Minister apologises for black and Asian #war dead commemoration failures theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/a…
I feel a survivor's guilt about #nagasaki and #hiroshima. Dispassionately, the bombs were wrong. Personally - well, I would not be here without them. My father would have been executed in the POW camps. #History is complicated when it's personal, eh? bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictur…
For everyone missing the @BerrymanLetters project..... this podcast project looks fascinating.

Robert Clive was a vicious asset-stripper. His statue has no place on Whitehall | William Dalrymple #antiracism theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
We need to acknowledge the complexities - and awful simplicities - of Britain's history in the world. Toppling the statues of slave traders is a start. But don't take my word that #BlackLivesMatter theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Reading and sharing my families war letters was one of the privileges of my life. Please help reunite these letters with their family. facebook.com/georgina.wild.…

19 Jan 1928 Paul to his mother [Szechuan] I have had letters from the family about my tragedy [and] one from Charles Swan telling me he knew all about it & how dreadful it was, but he & Marjorie had not yet told their father; but I wrote to him of course familyletters.co.uk/19-january-192…
6 Jan 1928 Paul to his mother [Szechuan] I suppose Nannie knows more than anyone, & naturally I should want to ask her masses of questions etc - truly she has behaved in a wonderful way & deserves every praise & my thanks for looking after the children familyletters.co.uk/6-january-1928…
24 Dec 1927 Paul to his mother [Szechuan] Am so awfully pleased to hear you are having such a large party for Christmas and I earnestly hope that you will all forget about my tragedy & enjoy yourselves. I ought to be hearing about now what has been done. familyletters.co.uk/24-december-19…
12 Dec 1927 Paul to his mother [Szechuan] I had letters from Joan & Paddy the other day – very well written. They sent me photographs – taken in their school kit – but I don't think they are very good – do you? They both look so spikey! familyletters.co.uk/12-december-19…

@TGTandV @FamilyLetters @Channel4News @darshnasoni It is surely impossible to explain the BEF campaigns accurately without covering the activities of the Indian Army in some detail. So not forgotten on the western front.
@FamilyLetters @Channel4News @darshnasoni I respect your personal experience of this subject, I would expect nothing less than ignorance of the Mesopotamian campaign. We will have to agree to differ on the Western Front. In my experience the Indian Army Corps is not forgotten.
A remarkable film made in 1919 of Indian veterans of the trenches at the Cenotaph - built to commemorate all who died fighting for Britain in #WW1 including Indians - as Londoners watched on, and afterwards at Buckingham Palace #RememberTogether #LestWeForget
Fascinating archive of family letters from the First World War, which were originally published exactly 100 years after each was first sent, finally finishing this year. familyletters.co.uk @FamilyLetters @BerrymanLetters #RemembranceDay
I've been following this blog pretty much since it started tweeting the Berryman @FamilyLetters 100 years to the date after they were written. It is well worth a look - and in any case read the last entry. familyletters.co.uk/the-berrymans-…
@BerrymanLetters thank you for tweeting your family letters. The times were very different to today and it has been interesting following the family through WW1
It's been a fascinating social history. Well done @FamilyLetters
Since 2014 my wife has been publishing her family’s WW1 letters. @FamilyLetters it’s been interesting following them and sad to say goodbye. I’m glad they all survived though. familyletters.co.uk/the-berrymans-…
