At just 22 years old, she founded her own covert intelligence network during World War One. Captured by the Germans, she was imprisoned, tried, and condemned to death. She faced the firing squad with unwavering courage—refusing a blindfold. This is Gabrielle Petit: (🧵)

I wonder what’s inside the box …. Oh, more copies of ‘Inside GHQ - The Gallipoli Diary of Captain Orlo Williams’. A big thanks to Orlo Williams - Gallipoli Cipher and Little Gully Publishing for producing such a wonderful book … and my fellow editors Rhys Crawley and Ash Brown Gallipoli Association

Stephen Chambers Gallipoli Association Orlo Williams - Gallipoli Cipher Little Gully Publishing Rhys Crawley A fascinating and insightful read. The wonder is that it was not published decades ago. It also confirms my opinion of several Staff Officers. Recommended reading for anyone with an interest in the #Gallipoli campaign.

When you go home, tell them of us, and say For your tomorrow, we gave our today. Contrary to the common belief that these words were composed to honour those who perished in the 1944 Battle of Kohima during World War II, the epitaph was actually penned shortly after World War I

The regional Gallipoli Association conference in conjunction with Great War Huts was a great success today. With nearly 70 attendees and a mix of Western Front rain and Gallipoli sunshine, the day couldn’t have gone better. Thanks all - Steve Snelling Taff and Peter Hart

Wandering around Bury St Edmunds this morning and found this fabulous bench, looks like part of the fuselage from a USAAF bomber, gifted to the city of Bury StE in 1945 by the US Army Air Force
