Thank you for your invaluable help with the Italian front section Tom! Although I accept sole responsibility for the accuracy of the depiction of the Alpini miners digging the Castelletto tunnels! It is the excellent work of artist Adam Hook. simonjoneshistorian.com/2024/05/24/war…

Nepotism alert! My nephew has an excellent new politics blog: henryjones1.substack.com/p/up-the-reds-…

I hope you enjoy it Phil! Let me know what you think of the mine rescue artwork. Adam Hook did a great job in depicting the various breathing apparatus.

Thank you Phil! This was one of the many of Adam's plates I really like. He told me how much he enjoyed learning about the subject. Osprey Publishing

Thank you Steve, it means a lot to see this. The rest of you, you know what you have to do! simonjoneshistorian.com/2024/05/24/war…

I've tried my 1918 Geophones with replacement tubes & the amplification is truly remarkable. I'm hoping to bring them to my Underground Warfare 1914-18 talk at Great War Huts on 26 June so people can have a go. It's at Brook Farm Camp, nr Bury St Edmunds. greatwarhuts.org/event-details/…

Our June #HuttedHistories is on Wednesday! ‘Underground Warfare 1914-18’ with @simonjones.bsky.social. Simon discusses evolving tactics & techniques used by Tunnellers on all sides, based upon his new Osprey book The War Underground 1914-18 Tactics & Equipment. greatwarhuts.org/event-details/…

I'm getting packed for the Huts!

Very interesting talk by @simonjones.bsky.social at Great War Huts last night about FWW Tunnellers. Hopefully see you on a REHS webinar soon. Thanks Taff for another great event.

Thank you for inviting me. It was a great night!
