An appearance by Himself wanging on, plus and several mentions on @ww2tv.bsky.social this week (thanks Woody), led to an idea that quickly got out of hand but raised a few Bob for @dkms. Which is always nice 😊 Airborne, 79 Armoured 52nd Lowland Division the-lowlander.teemill.com/product/lowl...

Listened to the first episode of @thelowlander.bsky.social. A fascinating little glimpse into the life of a British infantry division. One comment - do please end every section by saying 'clackety-ping!' aloud, it's adorable.

🖌️ We'll share snippets from stories chosen for The Lowlander and articles that didn't make the cut, too. Like this one from November 19 - a plea for competition entries. 📃What was AF B2626? 🪩Who was asked to invent a slogan for it? 🎙️Why was this in an army service newsletter?

Snippet from The Lowlander, November 19, describing a call for slogans in a competition to encourage form-filling of AF B2626
