Sir John French is brought to tears by Joffre's speech, but his (ironically) terrible French prevents him from giving a direct response. He tells his aide: "Damn it, I can’t explain. Tell him that all that men can do, our fellows will do."

I'm about 300 pp. through "Vain Glory," a brilliant anthology of #GreatWar literature published in 1937. The editor included excepts from both sides, and the balance of air, land, and sea is well done and balanced. It's a great book and extremely readable. #booksky #History #WW1 #FWW

Not much room in this order for uncertainty...

This is the “Verdun tree” in Saint Albans, Hertfordshire. This tree has grown from a conker which it’s said came from one of the last trees left standing after the 1916 Battle of #Verdun. It was planted in 1976 on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the battle. #1GM #FWWHist #WW1

A cavalry officer notes: "For myself, it was a great thrill to lead a cavalry charge, even if the enemy surrendered, shouting ‘Kamerad, Kamerad!’ My troop sergeant, Sergeant Hailey, stuck one who was too slow in putting up his hands."

The remaining men of L Battery desperately fight on with their one gun, taking losses as they do: "By this time our little camp was an utter wreck. There were horses and men lying everywhere, [...] Nearly all the officers and men were either dead or wounded."

Just a simple snapshot of my meadow this morning. The big deal is that it’s raining here where I live in Oregon. This is the first rain we’ve had in months. The wave of petrichor through my open windows is marvellous! #PNW
