This is the second of a series of books I've written for the Combined Military Services Museum in Maldon Essex. It's an introduction to #SOE and the collection of SOE artefacts displayed at the museum.Agents stories and how it all worked-I hope it's of interest to people ☨ #WW2

Bookings are now being taken for 2026 & 2027. Lots of tours to choose from on the Pegasus website like this one which has proved popular during the last three years ⚡️ pegasusbattlefieldtours.com/tours/soe-belg…

Lovely stroll along the #Norfolk Coast early this morning. After spending the week on the Channel Islands last week this bunker seems rather small but never the less always impressive as part of the UKs coastal defence during #WW2 #Bunker

Fantastic old comic strip from 1970 - factually miles away but great to see anyway ☨ #SOE #WW2 #violetteszabo

First man from the 1st Polish Armoured Division to be killed in Normandy. Buried in Ranville Commonwealth War Graves #WW2 #Poland He was Colonel Levittoux, the division’s Chief of Staff 🇵🇱

Magnificent 4-day tour draws to a close following the Polish 1st Armoured Division through their Normandy campaign with a family who's father was a tank commander with the 1st Tank Regiment. An emotional ride...#WW2 #normandy #Poland #tanks 🇵🇱

A sombre but inspiring day drew to an end yesterday with a ceremony at Bretteville-sur-Laize Commonwealth War Graves in Normandy #WW2 Seaforth Highlanders Seaforth Association Seaforth Highlanders

A very moving tour of Dieppe today which always leaves me deflated that so many lives were lost on this utterly pointless raid.

For those of you who met my dear old friend Trooper Cecil Newton I received the news last night that he died yesterday at 17:00 Thursday 1 May 2025. He was 101 and one of our last D-Day veterans. He arrived on Gold Beach in an amphibious tank with 4/7 Royal Dragoon Guards. RIP.

VE Day 80 today. I would say something about peace etc except we’ve still not learnt…but best wishes to everyone.

Nice bit of WW2 Spang spotted in Arras this morning #WW2 #WW1

Poppies out on Drop Zone V in Normandy. Just need some blue skies now 🙂

Home of Pegasus! British 1st Airborne Division HQ at The Hartenstein in Oosterbeek during the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. But why is there ALWAYS scaffolding around this building…??? Good few days around here - next stop The Ardennes #ww2 #tours #airborne

Been thinking about getting a turret fitted on my Merc so thought I’d measure it up for size and compatibility 🤔 Roar!
