You will be hugely missed @pgkepfidra @CWGC
It’s the end of an era for the @CWGC PEC team. This week the fabulous @pgkepfidra retires. Said goodbye to a fantastic, talented, supportive colleague with afternoon tea at @PrincipalYork which is where we first met 6 years ago. Please join me in wishing her a happy retirement!
Today is War Veterans Day in Romania. There are 699 Romanian WW2 veterans still living. (I suspect this is the number claiming war veteran benefits.) @WW2TV @almurray @James1940 @thehistoryguy @SWWResearchNA @ww2db @SWWStudiesEdin @WWIImuseum
29 Aprilie - Ziua Veteranilor de război Sacrificiul impune respect!🇷🇴 Este ziua celor care au luptat pentru România, au fost răniți sau prizonieri, și-au lăsat acasă familia, au renunțat la tot și au plecat pe front. Mai sunt în viață doar 699 de veterani de război. Să-i onorăm!

Our last reading group of 2023-24 is Wednesday, 1 May @ 7:30pm Eastern with Cindy Brown @UNB. Email for links and her piece, "A Missing Piece of the Historical Puzzle: The West Nova Scotia and Carleton and York Regiments living among Sicilians and Italians, July-Nov 1943."
I watched Heart Valley on BBC Iplayer (which is fantastic BTW) & it recommended Borrowed Pasture. It follows 2 former Polish SWW soldiers trying to make a living out of a derelict farm in Wales. Narrated by Richard Burton. Amazing & moving piece of film. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
New book announcement: Prisoners of Jan Smuts: Italian Prisoners of War in South Africa in #wwii by our member Karen Horn is out from @JonathanBallPub. More here: wordsworth.co.za/products/priso…
Still novel to be reviewing the proofs of something I wrote. Not long now until this is out in the world as part of @WarEphemera’s special issue of Genealogy! Some cracking stories from @AWMemorial’s very own National Collection.
Romanian WW2 propaganda showing the Archangel Michael directing Romanian soldiers forward into battle. Romania leaned heavily on religious rhetoric from 1941 to 1944, calling the campaign against the USSR a "holy war" against "Judeo-Bolshevism."
In the heart-rending @CWGC cemetery at Guwahati there are some remarkable graves, including (until 2012) twelve Japanese soldiers. Others include - a Muslim wine waiter - an Albert Medal - Chinese troops killed during the advance to Myitkyina in 44 - KOYLI and Gloster troops…
#OTD 80 yrs ago @UbiqueVir led the construction of their 1st airstrip in the Naga Hills. 2 hills removed & a valley filled with 40,000 cubic yds with help from 600 local Naga coolies per day. @RE_Hist_Society @WW2Airfields @Nagaland_India @robert_lyman ubiquevir.wordpress.com/2021/04/13/4th…
Very happy to be up in Edinburgh (the most visually impressive city in the UK!) again, for a team meeting of the 'Beyond Borders' project with @wugolini, @martinjohnes and @Georgedevans_93! 😀🌄🏴
I will be chairing this 'in conversation' event with @TriciaAllerston @NatGalleriesSco and @SuzanneBardget1, author of The Air War in Paintings. Exciting!

I'd forgotten just how good @googleearth is at telling a story around complex terrain in 3D mode. This is Djebel el Rorouf that was attacked by the Welsh Guards and Coldstream Guards in 1943 in support of the armoured attack along the beach in Hamman Lif, 1943. #Tunisia81
@SWWStudiesEdin Thanks so much - very glad to be here!

Very excited to have begun a postdoc at @HCAatEdinburgh researching empire, UK national identities and mobility during the Second World War, as part of the 'Beyond Borders' project. Looking forward to properly starting work with @wugolini @martinjohnes and @DrBCCurtis.
Really looking forward to taking part in this exciting series of conferences which will contribute to the creation of the new and innovative British American World War II Liberation of Italy Museum in Rome. liberation-museum.webflow.io
And just like that, the full draft of my thesis is flitting its way to my supervisors for its first top-to-tail read-through. My head hurts, there are many words to cut, and it's not perfect—but I have a full draft to work with! Don't mind the chapter numbering bug ...
