Great War & social historian. Someone who thinks the dustbin of history is too good for the Tory Party.

Five ex-soldiers were imprisoned on 30th December 1918. One, missing one arm, said, "My pension was not sufficient to keep me. No one would find me work, and all I could do for a living was to steal.”

I used to believe that the Tories stoked and exploited fears to gain power. This proves that they don't pander to bigots. They are the bigots.

Thanks, Gareth. I know a lot of people have been disappointed at the centenary commemorations; with the focus on modern responses based on a partial understanding of the times, rather than allowing the words of those who served to speak for themselves.

#Duffhistory, a disdain for 'experts' and a belief that opinions have the same value as facts are poisonous. twitter.com/TheKnotUnites/…

The post does not say that 89% had a delightful time with no impact upon them. It simply points out that none of them, wounded in body or mind, has any memorial; that they should be remembered; and that is all.

Damp conditions at sea meant that most navies were unable to undertake offensive operations during the war. #Trumpfacts. pic.twitter.com/J22ulbgvhZ
