Back in the day we used to buy flags to support the RNLI's lifesaving efforts... That was before flags were for lamp posts though, clearly. #RNLI #WW1 #WarHistory #Flags #Navy

That’s a £30 billion black hole in our economy, according to the IFS. And a ‘car crash’ for our care industry & the NHS. Just for starters. On the plus side, Bromsgrove currently has hundreds of union flags flying from lampposts.

Highly recommend signing up to the @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social annual conference. My key takeaway from last year was that it's not just a conference for experts. So all are welcomed, from full time published war nerds, to wannabe nerds, to just dipping the toe in at weekends nerds. #ww1 #nerd

Calling History nerds. Submissions requested (poem, short story, or a short non fic piece) for the Pen to Print weekly showcase. I’m looking for something around “Choices” and related to your journey into, or current work in, the history field. #history #writing #short #submission #magazine

Nick Burdett @nickburdett.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Submission call out: I'm looking for some pieces (a poem / short prose section) about your choice to become a vegan. It will be for Pen to Print's Showcase page in March. The theme is "Choice", so focus on that from a vegan point of view rather than just general veganism. #vegan #writing #submission

Sometimes writing about military history is a struggle and it's not to do with the handwriting on the records. Tanks spellcheck. #history #greatwargroup #communications #ww1

Spellcheck trying to change the word Tanks to Thanks.

A FREE newsletter from the Great War Group available here. I am currently writing something up for the Salient Points magazine, which if you are lucky might be the future free full length article you get with this newsletter. I'll have to finish writing it first though....

Latest issue of Salient Points has arrived (available by being members of @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social ). Amongst all the interesting articles and other features, they have a write up of this year's conference and it include some of my photos. It was a great event and I look forward to next year.

I had a wonderful night at the Pen To Print awards a few weeks ago. Met the Mayor of Barking and Dagenham, got a certificate and a pen (I love an engraved pen), and I spoke with lots of lovely people. Just need to finish the book now for publication next year. #writers #writing #crime #freepen

Not a bad week for achievements. Didn't win the race, and only a book challenge finalist (so far). But still... nickburdett.com/Vigilantes-A... #writing
