Well, well, well… #NotTheWorkOfAnOrdinaryBoy #Pigeons #WW2 #Belgium
Agreed. How easily we forget what ordinary French people have done for British veterans over many decades, and in the aftermath of war they hosted the families of those who travelled to Normandy to visit a loved ones grave.

Very sad to see all these negative comments posted on social media about the French in relation to a creperie at Omaha beach. I have only found the local people to be very accommodating, grateful for our presence and happy to help. I’ve met so many french people over the years…
Always a poignant visit after spending the day walking and discussing the actions of those who took part in ‘The Greatest Raid of All’
There’s still time to join us on this excellent introductory tour to the #battlefields of #Belgium. Looking in depth at #Waterloo, #WW1, and #WW2, book now and gain a greater understanding of how centuries of military conflict has affected this country >> ow.ly/MsLc50Rsp5q
The story of the Belgian resistance is poignantly realised in this memorial at Fort Breendonk. leger.co.uk/tours/secret-a…
Podcast Questions & Answers Ep 3: In this week's @OldFrontLinePod we answer questions about memorable accounts of the Great War, impactful battlefields, how ANZAC & Canadian soldiers were viewed and the firepower of the infantry. oldfrontline.co.uk/2024/05/01/pod…
The next @OldFrontLinePod Questions & Answer episode will be out tomorrow!
#ThenandNow Dossin Barracks was used as an assembly camp for Jews & ‘Roma’ hailing from Belgium & Northern France. 18,000 people were deported to Auschwitz Birkenau in the first 17 transports alone. Only 30 ‘Roma’ deported from Belgium survived.
Moving memorial at Fort Breendonk symbolising Belgium under the Jackboot in #WW2.
The importance of the carrier pigeon in #Belgian #WW2 resistance operations is acknowledged in this memorial at Fort Breendonk. #NotTheWorkOfAnOrdinaryBoy
A visit to Fort Breendonk, the Gestapo concentration camp in Belgium, with @sommecourt & @Allen1Mark. The threat of being taken to Breendonk was the first stick with which Belgian partisans were beaten. At Breendonk, they were told, you will talk. 3500 men suffered here. #WW2
Moving visit to Fort Breendonk with @drtorhumphreys & @Allen1Mark: a Concentration Camp, death and deportation camp used during the four long years of German occupation. Nature has taken back its surroundings, and birds now sing were death and cruelty once reigned supreme. #WW2
Beautiful evening in Ypres with @sommecourt & @Allen1Mark. Let the #SecretArmy recce begin!
En-route to our hotel managed a stop with @drtorhumphreys & @Allen1Mark at Brandhoek Cemetery as the sun was setting.
A remembrance project aimed at preserving the memory of soldiers from all nations who fell in the Ypres Salient during the Great War, the New Ypres League is based on the original Ypres League that was present in Ypres in the years after the First World War.
Heading off with @drtorhumphreys & @Allen1Mark to recce our new @LegerBattleTour Secret Army tour looking at #WW2 in Belgium and putting the classic TV series into some context.
It was an honour to illustrate D-Day veteran, Ken Cooke, who landed on Gold Beach with 7 Green Howards. #DDay80 #Normandy80

I have been to this place a few time. Saw British being welcomed like any other customers. Only time I saw them turning away customers is when large groups (more than 7/8) were showing up during rush hour as they don't have enough staff to serve quickly.
This cafe at Vierville Draw at Omaha Beach Normandy refused to serve my British Army soldiers today as “they are English”. An utter disgrace & I will NEVER EVER EVER take any of my tours there again.
@BattlefieldBen The best memorial to the men that died on Omaha are the thousands of people enjoying the beach each summer. That's a slice of the freedom they died for: happy families. And I love a crepe.
@BattlefieldBen Well said Ben. Even when, as a 6 year old, in Courseulles (Juno) where my Dad came ashore in Aug ‘44, and I pulled the lever on an ice cream machine outside a cafe, making a hell of a mess, the worst my parents got was a ‘shrug’. And a lifetime of embarrassment.
@BattlefieldBen I hate the French bashing stereotypes that come with anything like this. More often than not from people who have no understanding of what the French went through in WW2 and what they’ve done for our war dead ever since. They certainly do more than most in the UK do.
Very sad to see all these negative comments posted on social media about the French in relation to a creperie at Omaha beach. I have only found the local people to be very accommodating, grateful for our presence and happy to help. I’ve met so many french people over the years…
Always a poignant visit after spending the day walking and discussing the actions of those who took part in ‘The Greatest Raid of All’
There’s still time to join us on this excellent introductory tour to the #battlefields of #Belgium. Looking in depth at #Waterloo, #WW1, and #WW2, book now and gain a greater understanding of how centuries of military conflict has affected this country >> ow.ly/MsLc50Rsp5q

This is not the world's first machine gun. These are the remains of a WW2 soviet sub-machine gun (probably PPSh-41) By the time this machine gun went into the ground machine guns, sub-machine guns, and rapid or multi shot fire weapons had been around quite some time..…
Always great doing our walking tour at St Nazaire. We were out for just over 4hrs in total walking around the ports facilities and covering numerous actions from Op Chariot.
My Nana went a bit viral & someone asked for a photo. I asked my Mum if that was ok. It was. And Mum said, why don’t you write her memoir; I’ll help! So I’m going to try, why not! 😊 Here’s Margaret posing for a local newspaper story, after she hosted a party for me & my…

Some really interesting stuff today at @MusMilMed A couple of chaps from the RAMC doing some photography and videos so these medals were taken out of the case to look at properly.

We also visited the German Cemetery at Pornichet were some of those killed during Operation Chariot are buried. I found this one grave today with a new enamel photograph attached to it.
After our 4 mile walking tour of St Nazaire covering Operation Chariot we headed across to the Hermitage Hotel, La Baule. It was here that the wounded Commandos and Royal Navy personnel were bought to the hospital facilities in the hotel and treated. A huge thanks to the staff…
