Garry Wills @caseshotpublish.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Salamanca Day; time for a reminder of my acclaimed research on the battle: My chapter entitled 'Maucune's Division at Salamanca' in Helion's 'Glory is Fleeting' and my article 'the History of a Salamanca Myth' on Helion's Blog: 🎲🎲https://helionbooks.wordpress.com/.../the-history-of.../... 040
Garry Wills @caseshotpublish.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Just finished @latelordchatham.bsky.social 's excellent book, Quicksilver Captain. It highlights the lack of control that the Admiralty actually had. How many other men like Popham are we waiting to hear about? It also gives us a good idea of how Donald Trump would have fared as a RN captain.🎲🎲 020

Garry Wills @caseshotpublish.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Just been to see Gladiiator film, not terrible and has suitable nods to the original classic. However it is clear that Ridley Scott is now too arrogant or out of touch to make a great film ever again. 040

Garry Wills @caseshotpublish.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Well, I now need to start a campaign to get 'panthéonisation' adopted into the English language so that we can all have a noble life ambition. Not sure my publishing efforts are worthy of it🎲🎲 0121

Garry Wills @caseshotpublish.bsky.social · 10/11/2024George Brumbley, the last name on the WW1 memorial at Denton, Lincs, enlisted 06/02/1915 and served with the 6th Lincs in Gallipoli. By Dec. 1915 he was sick with goitre and a dilated heart, discharged 21/07/1916 & died 8/01/19, not an official casualty but a 'glorious death'. 060
