Today I received a copy of 'Captive Audience' courtesy of @scarletboy44.bsky.social - thanks Paul! It looks excellent & I can't wait to read it. It tells the story of the captivity of Lt. John Dixon (East Riding Yeomanry) & particularly his theatrical endeavours behind the wire #Forrard

Thinking tonight of Flight Lieutenant Percy Cyril Morgan DFM, of Letchworth, Hertfordshire, who took off into the night air on 5 June 1944 in support of the D-Day operation and never returned. Remember Him. #DDay #WW2 #hertfordshire

Final piece of the puzzle, thanks to a local authority. Off now to convince the #CWGC that a soldier who was classed as a deserter needs to be recognised. 20 years service. Awarded MM. Took his own life in 1941. NOT recognised by #CWGC. Needs to be changed and headstone erected.

Today we remember the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. An act that would formally bring the United States into the Second World War, and set the Allied nations on a long and bloody path to victory.

Rant of the day! WHY, when a man was killed in action (an officer in this case) can take “up to a year” to get a copy of their service records??? Australia/Canada all available online in colour at the click of a button!! FFS. #MOD

Nijmegan bank robbery? And there was me thinking "Kelly's Heroes" was fictional!! Part of a document dealing with Discipline in 21 Army Group. Makes interesting reading. (WO 229/4). It appears that some of these crimes were actually carried out by Dutch civilians. Worthy of a bit more research.

Staff Sergeant Frederick Paice BEM. Serving with the RASC, he was awarded a BEM for his work as a short-hand notetaker, responsible for recording verbatim notes at a large number of court martial cases. Many reports we see today are thanks to the work of men & women like this. #MilitaryCrime

Mules proved far more resistant to disease, illness & poor animal management than horses during the #FirstWorldWar. Mortality in the field & during transportation was less than half that of horses & they could be kept in good condition on food rations 25% smaller #MuleMonday 📷 IWM Q8531
