👀 I see the PM was well-briefed on his visit to Northumberland today.
Time to get a signed copy if you haven’t got one already.
Time to get a signed copy if you haven’t got one already.
Delighted to be invited to look through the archive of the marine insurer @NorthPandIClub in its 160th year – a huge global brand and one of NE England’s biggest firms, but one you’ve probably never heard of. To understand their origins let's go back to 1860s Tyneside… #North160
Extremely disappointed to hear that the BBC are pulling #InsideOut from September. Regional documentaries are more important than ever and @InsideOutCJ did a superb job telling the @NorthumbriaWW1 story bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
OTD 26/04/1917 AB Chas. Campbell Drake Bn. RND presumed KIA. 1920 his father visited battle area and found a temporary grave shown as unknown - consistent with battalion diary His son only man lost that day. Body reburied Point de Jour. see our database northumbriaworldwarone.co.uk
In the 52 months of WW1 the UK had average daily losses - killed, died of wounds and died - of about 416. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Merchant Navy and fishermen. The worst day 01/07/1916 saw 19240 killed & DOW. Nothing coming now will equal that for intensity and community loss.
He was a driving force behind the extension of the Tynemouth Jubilee Infirmary as the borough’s first world war memorial - hence why @NorthumbriaNHS own his portrait. (The only part of the building still standing is now a @NEAmbulance station.)
OTD 19/12/1914 Lt Lionel Bickersteth Rundall, 24, King George’s Own Gurkha Rifles Lahore Divn. KIA. Career officer his bro. KIA the following day.See the ‘Ibex of Sha-Ping’ in related docs on our database record northumbriaworldwarone.co.uk
OTD 16/12/1914 Tom William Davison 50, lost at sea by mining of ss Vaaren. A North Sea Pilot in charge of the ship out of the Tyne. Struck a mine probably laid that day in German raid on 3 NE towns. 11 of 16 crew and Davison lost. Widow & 3 of 5 children left in North Shields.
If you haven’t worked it out the book is the best seller ‘The Northumbrians’ by Dan Jackson. Get along to @WaterstonesNewc this evening for a signed copy
OTD 11/12/1917 Pte Robt. Henry Anderson 33, Dudley Colliery & Pte Fred Arkle 20, Holywell Village- both miners-KIA with 16/Lancs. Fus. Serv. no’s 39225 and 39223. Conscripted together, they died together. Fred’s cousin Charles Foster Arkle KIA 01/07/1916. 20/NF Tyneside Scottish.
OTD 10/12/1917 Pte Robert Savage (18) 1/6th A & S Hldrs. KIA. Enlisted 12/1915 only 16 years old, apprentice draughtsman. France 06/1916 17 months at the front. His final monies never claimed by family living in Whitley Bay
OTD 09/12/16 Wm.Temple 43, Fireman drowned from ss Harlyn mined off Harwich. Enlisted 1914 Tyneside Scottish - discharged not fit. Re-enlisted ASC 02/1915 - discharged not fit for war service. His widow and two children in North Shields.
Great to hear our Twitter master and @northumbriana Dan Jackson’s appreciation of his bestseller book The Northumbrians -@HurstPublishers 2019 -@sage_gateshead and why we are a place and people apart with Geordie interlocutor @DavidOlusoga (this Tweet by his co- correspondent.)
OTD 05/12/1918 John Thomas Dove Pte RASC DOW 1st Northern General Hospital. Son of late JT Dove Builders Merchant of Whitley Bay. Severely wounded in action 10/04/1918. Long treatment in UK - buried St John’s cemetery, Elswick.
Sure to be worth a visit

A thread of some of the oldest photographs of the North East. Would welcome further submissions! This first group are of the great fire of Newcastle & Gateshead in 1854 (a warehouse full of nitrates caught fire and exploded).
So obviously no pictures from the service this morning- but we have these nice ones from the rehearsal last week.
John Norton Griffiths is thought to have committed suicide 27th September 1930 in Egypt. A sad end to a life lived in full and which deserves to be known to a much wider audience.
My publisher is most keen that I retweet this
I cannot recommend this book enough. 61 pages in and I have learned more about my own regional history than I have in 30 years. @northumbriana’s writing style is elegant, his knowledge deep, and his passion crystal clear.
Anyway, hope you all have a canny #BurnsNightIn. To the immortal memory! 🥃
