My latest postcard purchase. I try and focus on buying only named cards but this is such a lovely pin sharp image, with the soldier glancing perhaps a little apprehensively to his right. Taken in a studio in Deal.
Something I have been doing on and off for some time is trying to pull together information on German soldiers who died as a result of the fighting around Mons on 23 and 24 August 1914. There are many more than just those identified as buried at Hautrage and St Symphorien...
Today marks 100 yrs since the unveiling of the @CWGC Chatham Naval Memorial which commemorates 18,649 casualties of both wars who have no known grave. On the 18th April we are running a special D-Day tour to focus on those casualties. Tickets free: eventbrite.co.uk/e/890097564777…
Any WW2 researchers follow me? I’ve had the enquiry below but not my specialism and have offered to help connect them with someone who can: I know that he was involved in North Africa through to occupation in Germany, we believe in Artillery & perhaps Medical, & he was at Arnhem
#ww1transport #ww1horses Drivers legging or "leg iron" seen here a beautiful 1918 example on our model "Albert " transport sergeant #queensownroyalwestkentregiment 1918 and the beautiful Royal Artillery memorial in London
And much of the research, hard work and actual building of the memorial was down to my good friend @Bristow4Nigel who was inspired to build it in memory of his close relative who was killed during the war whilst serving with the QORWK.

#PicOfTheDay The simple but moving #Memorial to the #RoyalWestKent Regiment in #Tertre #SaintGhislain #Hainaut #Belgium. Unveiled in Aug 2013 on the spot where the first of the regiment died during the Battle of #Mons, it now commemorates all of the 6866 men who fell during #WW1
Later today, the grave rededication ceremony for Sjt JH Bott DCM will happen at @CWGC Hooge Crater cemetery in Ypres. It was August 2018 when I first came across the unknown Royal Fusilier with a DCM ribbon on the burial return. Today, will be a very special day @LegerBattleTour
My Gt Gt Uncle Alfred Reynolds MC, while a sergeant in the Royal West Kent Regiment is mentioned in Court Martial proceedings against Private O'Brien. It seems he was pretty free with his fists.
#PhotoFriday #TeaTime This is Private Joseph Henry Barton, of Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment. He served in Egypt during the First World War. He sent letters & pictures back home to his wife and child. Lots more images can be found on @armymuseumsuk #EYA @PWRR_Museum

Lovely addition to my Royal West Kent collection. A bit worn but it’s named on the reverse, so we get to see the face of Private William Henry Webster, who died on 18 April 1915 at Hill 60, whilst serving with 1st Battalion.
This was the officer’s mess of the Queen’s Own Royal West Kent Regiment in Maidstone. If you are curious about the history of the regiment and what happened to them read the blog by our regimental volunteer here: museum.maidstone.gov.uk/so-what-happen… #LocalHistory #Maidstone #QORWKregiment
Paying my respects to my great uncle Charles A Shaw of the Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment 10th Battalion B Company at Lijssenthoek this morning
On #ArmisticeDay I’m remembering my grandfather, LSgt Frederick George Whitnall, Queen’s Own Royal West Kent Regt, killed in action 5th October, 1943 & buried at #SangroRiver @CWGC, Italy 🇮🇹. His is the last name from the 2nd World War listed on Rye @WarMemorials. #LestWeForget
My Gran died at the age of 90&my dad remarked in the eulogy that it was strange to think that 2 of her brothers Billy & Jimmy had died 84 years before in 1916 on the Somme. One is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial Corp William Smith of the Queen’s Own Royal West Kent
Remembering My GT GTUncle George Joseph Britten East Surrey Regiment killed Ypres 14/02/1915 aged 30. He has no known grave and is remembered on the Menin Gate. Remembering My GT GT Uncle RSM Alfred Reynolds MC MSM 2/ Royal West Kent Regiment who was lucky enough to come home.

Something I have been doing on and off for some time is trying to pull together information on German soldiers who died as a result of the fighting around Mons on 23 and 24 August 1914. There are many more than just those identified as buried at Hautrage and St Symphorien...
My Uncle, Private George Sydney Baker 4th Battalion Queen’s Own Royal West Kent Regiment killed this day 80 years ago, 14 April 1944 at the Battle of Kohima aged 19.
@July1st1916 The joys of church bric-a-brac. I did actually say that it was worth more than £2, but they replied that's the price. I more than made up the shortfall in the amount of cake I bought.

Remembering Pte Percy Betts, 6th Royal West Kent Regiment. Killed in action on this day in 1917. Arras Memorial, Pas de Calais, France. #WisbechWarMemorial
Phyllis was a nurse. She threw herself out of a window in April 1915.The headstone is really thoughtfully done - it says she died of neurothasia and was war related. She was really tired, due to go home. Her brother had been killed at the front and another just arrived. #WW1
Gabrielle Petit was executed by the Germans today in 1916. She was 23. She'd been Britain's most important spy. She sang a song of defiance as she was shot. She refused a blindfold saying "I'm going to show you how a Belgian woman dies. I'm not afraid of looking into the rifles."
It's always extraordinarily touching & gratifying when Twitter friends (yes, it's still Twitter!) go out of the way to pay their respects to 'our Billy' 15812 Pte HW Disbrey of 11th Suffolks, MIA 1st July 1916. Perhaps even more so on Easter Sunday, with thoughts of new life...
Had a nice cup of tea and slice of cake with Mr Cushing - he was as charming as you would expect…
Dinner with Vincent for sure!
New addition to the SGWT uniform. What do you think…?
What an honour it was to be present at the dedication ceremoney of Lieut Charles Cautherley. For 101 years he had laid under the headatone of an unknown soldier, but today he finally regained his name. A truly sobering moment.
@Bristow4Nigel My pleasure mate; it would never have happened without your will, determination, tenacity and sheer hard graft and it is an enormous credit to you personally and all the brave men of the Queen’s Own Royal West Kent’s who served in the Great War and I take my hat off to you! 👍

And much of the research, hard work and actual building of the memorial was down to my good friend @Bristow4Nigel who was inspired to build it in memory of his close relative who was killed during the war whilst serving with the QORWK.
