Did you know that the founder of #SaveTheChildren wrote romantic novels, was arrested in Trafalgar Square, fell in love with men & women, & didn’t much enjoy spending time with individual kids, yet forever change the way the world both regards and treats children.
A few less formal pics from the ANFB presentation of the #Chevalierd’Argent & ravivage at the #ArcDuTriomphe. (Mainly courtesy of my lovely sister :) I still can’t quite believe this happened, but utterly delighted that women’s service during the #SecondWorldWar is gaining more attention!

Huge congratulations gilesmilton on the launch of #EmpireAtTheEdgeOfTheWorld. So lovely to see so many writing friends @alexvont.bsky.social @matthewparker70.bsky.social @jessiechilds.bsky.social (I cannot post that pic of us!!) @hallierubenhold.bsky.social xxxx
A privilege to be invited to the evening ceremony of the Eternal Flame to the Unknown Warrior (the Ravivage), at the Arc du Triomph, Paris, with fellow recipients of the ANFB Chevalier, paying tribute to the heroes of France who gave their lives for the cause of peace & freedom #LestWeForget
Deeply honoured to have been decorated with the French ANFB Chevalier d’Argent in Paris yesterday. This honour is for my work advancing the memory of those who served, in particular the female combatants, which has in itself been a privilege.

Looks fab Clare 👍 Whilst here can I ask if you would be willing to help us again as you have in previous years with a signed book for this year's auction. (It allows us to use our favourite promotional video 😄)

Poetry & scattered gunfire in this ‘enjoyable caper with consequences…’ My review of #BenMacintyre’s new book #Redwood , for the latest edition of the #Spectator (It’s excellent.)
6 yrs ago today I unveiled an English Heritage #BluePlaque to the 1st woman to serve Britain as a special agent in #WW2 - #krystynaSkarbek aka #ChristineGranville, #TheSpyWhoLoved. It took a 6-year campaign, but it’s now at her last address, 1 Lexham Gardens, Kensington, if you want to have a look.
Nice to get a name-check in The Times and Sunday Times today, for my talk at WW2Pod: We Have Ways #WHWF26 on #TheWomenWhoFlewForHitler - but ended their lives on opposite sides of history… fanatical Nazi #HannaReitsch & secret resister #MelittavonStauffenberg.
2 Jims! 2 festivals! #JamesHolland got my sculptor husband #IanWolter (National Army Museum artist in residence last year) to sculpt him at Chalke History Festival . I delivered it yesterday at the We Have Ways fest :) What do you think? (Cast in resin not bronze.)
Fabulous to be back at the @wehaveways.bsky.social festival , telling a monster crowd the extraordinary story of the only 2 women to serve as test pilots for the Nazi Third Reich: #HannahReitsch & #MelittaVonStauffenberg … #WeHaveWays #RheWomenWhoFlewForHitler
I am deeply moved that my biography of #ElżbietaZawacka, #AgentZo, has been nominated for the #WitoldPileck international book award, organised by the Pilecki Inst & Auschwitz Museum. #Pilecki fought for freedom from both Nazi German & Communist oppressors, ultimately giving his life…
In 1 week, 11am Fri 11 Sept, im at We Have Ways #whw26 festival talking about #HannahReitsch & #MelittaVonStauffenberg, #TheWomenWhoFlewForHitler ! Here are a few of my favourite pics from past years… @almurray.bsky.social @DrHelenFry @jamesholland.bsky.social @gordoncorera.bsky.social
Grt to see #AgentZo still in Amazon’s best-seller lists. Esp at #15 in the history/special forces list as it is the ONLY bk by or about a woman in the top 50. If I hadn’t written it, you’d think women had not served in the special forces at all… don’t be fooled: many played v significant roles!
Wearing my most-foxy coloured jumper to celebrate having a piece in the latest autumn edition of #SlightlyFoxed. I’ve written about the missals, manuscripts & civil war tracts, pressed flowers, ink-blots & other delights found in the collections of the…

She looks demure but this is a rebel with a world-changing cause, who was born 150 yrs ago today… #EglantyneJebb’s fiery passion inspired my first book - #TheWomanWhoSavedTheChildren… Here’s some of the drama… 1/6
Special agent #ElaineMadden steadied herself to jump through the joe-hole of a 4-engine bomber above enemy-occupied Belgium, when her dispatching officer leant in to tell her, ‘Honey, I am going to give you the last kiss you will get in a long time.’…

Sad to learn that wonderful #WW2 resistance fighter #WandaTraczykStawska died yesterday, aged 99. My friend @mariannabukowski.bsky.social was watching cinefilm fm the #WarsawUprising when she saw her friend Wanda, serving gun in hand. The result was her beautiful biopic #portraitofasoldier ... 1/2
