Mag and I went to a couple of the exhibitions at this year's Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents event. Whatever our feelings about politics, it's important to acknowledge the role of journalists covering conflicts around the World

Tomorrow at 19:00BST I’ll be on @ww2tv.bsky.social having a chat with Woody about Jungle Commandos and answering your questions! So if there’s something you want to know about the Third Arakan and/or the book, now is your chance to ask! ☺️

Love his cheeky smile in that one
I am beginning the journey of "processing" my best bud Colin's passing yesterday. It was on the cards - cancer of the oesophagus is one of the shittiest ones, but we were hopeful, especially after he had a brief upturn 3 weeks ago.

I'll miss you mate, the beers, the gigs, the war talk and the craic
People adding extra information and detail in comments is brilliant. But when they do it in a passive aggressive tone it is frustrating. Things like "a proper historian would have said this"

YT comment of the Day. A viewer called @bfc3057 said I was "hiding behind anonymity"
Yep, somehow, despite the fact I appear in every show, wearing my hat, with my name under my image, I am hiding my identity.

Unless I am not me? And if I am not me, who the fuck am I? Shit, am I an AI creation?
My first attempt at kedgeree. Yummy
Congratulations - fab news

Don't suppose I could tempt anyone to try the William the Conqueror novels I wrote with @jaironside.bsky.social ? The beauty of it is you can imagine all the colours you like

YouTube comment of the day, on a Bagration video:

"Hard to believe, only now in 2025, a western writer work a book about the worst deffeat of German Army. Why not publish before. It was prevented by The FBI, CIA, The Ku Klux, Klan, John Birch Society."
The International Association for Unfinished WW2 Military Study has concluded that 6 out of 10 Allied Generals...
Yep it would definitely make a great subject on WW2TV
4 Yesterday we were at the unveiling of the new Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry memorial in Berjou
3 Perhaps the most interesting grave today was among these 4 French aviators. Tavi Kainuku was from Tahiti in French Polynesia. This was the crash of Douglas Boston.
2 Lister was from Yorkshire and Miller from Australia. Their Mosquito went down in Ménil-Hubert-sur-Orne.
