I find it such an emotive memorial. Never forget the tour I went with you all those years ago and you mentioning that the bushes resemble the gas.

You can still see the outline where the badge was on the outside of the building.

I agree. I visited it in 2022 and was surprised by how small it was. However you could feel the history in there and visually imagine the hearings that happened

I was lucky with the weather last month when I was over there. Hopefully will be the same when I’m next there in May 🤞

Just finished my yearly weekly stint at Talbot House as a warden. As always a lovely week at such a special place. Those that haven’t been you must, and those that have been, go again. It’s an honour to be a warden at Talbot House

Not my photo, can’t remember where I got it so can’t credit the relevant person. What an awesome plane

I remember my day trip with you all the years ago. It was such an interesting trip, will never forget about why the green bushes at the brooding soldier are so symbolic. I highly recommend booking a tour if you ever in Ieper

Thank you for the book I won, looking forward to reading this. The book has been added to my very big to read list. Such an interesting podcast is Cold War Conversations

Just finished reading this excellent book 📖 by @seaspitfires.com I highly recommend this book 📖. I’ve heard @seaspitfires.com on a WHWOMYT podcast and his book 📖 doesn’t disappoint, had me gripped reading it, just a shame work and sleep stopped me reading it from start to finish.

Just finished reading this outstanding 📖 by @nickhewitt4.bsky.social , I sadly know next to nothing about naval warfare in the First and Second World Wars, however this book taught me so much about Operation Neptune/Overlord, I highly recommend this 📖

Went for a nice afternoon walk yesterday in London and visited All Hallows-by-the-Tower and paid my respects to Tubby Clayton. Also saw this stained window which you need to zoom in.
