Moved from the other place. Don't post very much. Mainly middle aged man stuff - history (WW1 in particular), music, food and a small amount of football. Glasgow - Scotland

So far this morning, here in Glasgow, we've had rain, wind, hail, really heavy snow, and now we're back to sunshine (for the moment at any rate). Welcome to spring in Scotland! #glasgow #kelvingrovepark #spring #glasgowtoday #dafodills

I defy anyone to look at this and still say integration isn't working in the UK.

Can't recommend Chris' work highly enough. I've been amazed with what he's been able to uncover in each report. Especially after I'd hit dead ends with my own efforts.

Genuinely feel a bit of a fraud given that I've managed to gather a couple of hundred followers merely as a result of being a @greatwargroup.bsky.social war bore! I'm very an enthusiastic amateur rather than a real historian of #WW1 but grateful nonetheless. I'll try & post more rather than lurk!

Hugely lucky with my travels in 2023. 3 visits to Germany including Valhalla (Regensburg), Hannover and a humbling visit to Dachau. A new country - Montenegro. And return to the Somme post COVID. 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇲🇪
