BRING UP THE PIAT! As we remember Operation Market Garden at this time of year, I thought I'd reshare my article on the legacy of "A Bridge Too Far", and how film shapes popular memory. justcuriousjane.com/bring-up-the...

Once again, we see plainly the disgrace of Scotland’s squandered North Sea windfall whereas Norway invested in long-term programmes designed to yield sustainable Haalands

🗃️ Delighted that The Invisible Campaign: Bomber Command Gardening Operations 1940–1945 has been reviewed in the latest Royal Air Force Historical Society Journal. It's gratifying to see this overlooked but highly effective WWII campaign receiving the attention it deserves. #aviation #navalhistory

Finally got around to setting up an Instagram account for the family cottage in Norway, if you fancy a nosey around. I can promise lots of trees, wood chopping, cinnamon buns, lakes, and all-round Scandinavian-ness. Find me at @acottageinnorway, or scan this ⬇️🇳🇴

Great chat with Profs Bill & Brian at Historians Are People Too podcast about my very unconventional journey into military history... Growing up in a mining town, legal career, taking a detour into makeup artistry, and somehow ending up as a military historian 😆 open.spotify.com/episode/4SNl...

Can anyone recommend a history of mine warfare that deals with all types of mines please? Most seem limited either to naval or land-based mines - I'm looking for something which encompasses mine warfare generally. Thank you!

“I’ve always maintained that I was the first person to land” #StarWars may have won Sir Alec Guinness a galaxy of fans, but long before embarking on a successful film career, the actor had seen war for real as part of the allied invasion of Sicily... 🧵 1/5 #StarWarsDay #WW2

I know I post loads of stuff about how beautiful Norway is, buy there's just something about the English countryside in springtime. This is Teesdale, in the west of County Durham. Sunshine, fresh air, a village pub, and coffee and cake at the end... what's not to like? #Durham #England
