Congratulations to William Spencer @warsmatter who has just passed his PhD viva. Brilliant thesis on use of archives by Falklands veterans in writing memoirs and histories.
On this day in 1636 Dutch forces capture the strategically important Schenkenschans from Spain. The fortress was the backdoor to Holland because it dominated the place where the Rhine and the Waal River forked. The loss of the fortress was a great blow for the Spanish King.
30.4.16 "Two days without news is a long time for me. Leave has been stopped again, but should resume tomorrow but we will see. Nothing new, the Germans are seriously bombarding us, with big and small shells, what a noise, fortunately we have shelter" 📸20e cie, 315e officers
One side of this ivory "memento mori" features a human face crawling with worms and insects; the other side shows a skull - the flesh eaten away. Date unknown. This unusual object is from the Wellcome Collection in London.
29 April 1919 | Czech Jew, Jan Fuchs, was born in Ostrava. He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 28 September 1944. He did not survive.
Ten men dead in horrific circumstances. "Deadly fire in the Ypres ramparts casemates 13 December 1917" added to the Long, Long Trail: see longlongtrail.co.uk/deadly-fire-in… One that might interest battlefield tourists.
The Zone Rouge, the area of France deemed too damaged by WW1 to reoccupy, was originally 1700 sq km (656 sq miles) in 1919, but over the years has shrunk to 175 sq km (67 sq miles), now militarily firing ranges. Imagine racing a bike 200 miles a day through this in the snow!

Died in Ambulance 11/18 that today I found out moved into the Chateau de Courcelles on 8th Oct 1917. Located in Chateau & grounds, this where Leon Beck was taken on the 3rd November 1917 Today it is a hotel, as fate would have it, I stayed there when on Chemin des Dames ...
Today’s (free) article is a crash course in why China and Japan came to blows in 1937 and in some eyes ignited #WW2 two years before Hitler fully kicked off in Europe link ⬆️ 🆙 top in ⬆️ profile will get you there 💪🏼 Looking forward to chatting about this and other rabbit holes…
29.4.16 "The weather is splendid, but we are walled up in the earth, listening to this infernal noise of the artillery. When we can be happy again? My shift isn't hard, i am on duty for half a night, every two days, we walk in the trenches, time still passes quite quickly..."

28 April 1925 | Czech Jewish girl, Markéta Glaserová, was born in Lubenec. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 26 January 1943. She did not survive.

This is Ruth Fanny Hanover. Rejected by the British Kindertransport scheme because she had a prosthetic leg, Ruth was murdered in the Holocaust. She was a friend of a boy who grew up to become Israel’s greatest poet, Yehuda Amichai. He would have been 100 next month.
Belle Tout Lighthouse, Eric Ravilious, 1939. The lighthouse is located overlooking Beachy Head in East #Sussex on the @SouthDownsWayNT. The original Ravilious artwork was sold at @ChristiesInc in 2015 and I believe it is now in a private collection.
28.4.16 In the trenches, we arrived without incident, but very tired, it was calm, not a rifle shot, a few artillery shots, but all night we had planes & I believe even zeppelins. I rested a little this morning, but it's hot, we're going to suffer from thirst. Leave is stopped...
Today we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the unveiling of Chatham Naval Memorial which has the names of over 18,000 who have no know grave but the sea who’s home port was Chatham. On May 18th we will be hosting a service followed by a tour of the memorial @CWGC
27 April 1938 | Dutch Jewish girl, Sientje Pinto, was born in Amsterdam. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in October 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

On this day in 1636 Dutch forces capture the strategically important Schenkenschans from Spain. The fortress was the backdoor to Holland because it dominated the place where the Rhine and the Waal River forked. The loss of the fortress was a great blow for the Spanish King.
