Today’s Substack features a guest piece from @boneyabroad.com achurchill.substack.com/p/guest-arti...
GUEST ARTICLE: The Halifax Disaster, 1917

Today’s feature is up on Substack. I’ve been obsessing over my Tank Memorial Book again, but this time I’ve put all of the citations in context. You get tanks, Canadians, and a bad few days for the German Army in 1918… achurchill.substack.com/p/full-featu...
