Just finished this over the last few days, my interest being the young man (great uncle) died during the battle. He has no known grave like 80%, of the fallen. The book highlights bad decision-making, horrendous weather / battle field conditions. Worth a read.

Tomorrow’s lecture, "Responding to Revolution: The British Commanders in Ireland 1912-1922", will be presented by Dr. Tony Gaynor. Time: Oct 6, 2023 20:00 us06web.zoom.us/j/84173021880?… Meeting ID: 841 7302 1880 Passcode: 294228

Book review | 'A Bad Day I Fear: The Irish Divisions at the Battle of Langemarck 16 August 1917' by WW1 Research Ireland | from Helion & Company Ltd ww1geek.com/book-reviews/a…

Andy Arnold WW1 Research Ireland Helion & Company Ltd I reviewed this for GWG's Salient Points. An excellent account of the extraordinarily difficult fighting by the Irish... at Langemarck...takes us through it stage by stage showing just what obstacles they faced and why Gough’s criticism was unjustified" The Great War Group

Off to sunnier climes for a few days R&R…..with a bit of light reading.

A tough thing to talk about publicly but I think it's necessary in the circumstances. NDNA made a commitment to 3 fully funded IVF cycles in 2020 - 4 years on we're only a fraction of the way forward with no finish line in sight.

Happy Friday It is the 1st March and the start of a new season. The Ulster Tower & Thiepval Wood will be open today for business. We hope to welcome many of you over the year. #Remembrance #Commemoration #lovehistory

Gave a talk last night on the Irish Divisions at Langemarck and afterwards was approached by two ladies who said, ‘ we usually have a sleep during the talk, but yours was very interesting.’ Praise indeed!

Remembering today the 264 officers and men of 2nd Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers including my Great Uncle James, who fell and rest in the fields either side of the Cinder Track at the Battle of Festubert beginning 15 May 1915.

Off in a little bit to do justice to L/Cpl Fred Room VC, 2/Royal Irish Regiment as we unveil a Bristol Civic Society blue plaque on his former house in St George, Bristol. It’s the 107th anniversary of when he received his VC from the King on Durdham Down.

We’ve enjoyed a fabulous day remembering L/Cpl Fred Room VC at his former #Bristol home where a Bristol Civic Society blue plaque was unveiled. Photos on this link plus a detailed look at this remarkable man’s life. Please do RT as it’s been a lot of work! westernfrontfootsteps.com/frederick-room…
