80 years ago, 250,000 prayer cards were being distributed - Patton's Prayer. A huge, rush print job, far beyond the capability of printers in the 3rd Army Adjutant General’s office. The 664th Engineer Topographic Battalion took it on: multiple, large offset presses being ideal for 000s of copies.😊

Perhaps what he meant was he’d been on holiday to the battle sites at the Somme and had a bad time?

The Forgotten War Podcast: Burma Campaign WW2 is coming in Feb 2025 - here is a teaser episode discussing the Burma Campaign, remembrance, and the Kohima Epitaph - a phrase many have heard time and again, without really understanding the context.

My thinking is Patton would have forced the pace at Market Garden, which is somthing he did well when driving forward... I agree with you at Metz, Monty's structured approach would be well suited...

A hypothetical question came up yesterday… In 1944, what if Monty was at Metz and Patton led Market Garden? Would playing to their respective strengths have changed the outcomes? #WWII #whatif #history

'Saphire and Steel', ITV's answer 'Dr Who' (ITV, 1979). Assignment 2 (the second series), a seance, a ghost soldier, trapped souls, and the First World War. What is not to like? Perhaps one for @owalpodcast.bsky.social ?

This year's 'We Have Ways Fest' is from September 12 to 14, which coincides with my daughter's birthday and my wedding anniversary. However, I am not sure I'll be able to negotiate a weekend pass from the family to go (unless I persuade them to come with me).

It seems fitting that after participating in the remembrance parade yesterday, my daughter started watching 'Blackadder Goes Forth' with pauses for exposition. 🫣
