I used the diary of this lady in Little Sense Of Urgency, the *most comprehensive Market Garden account* to date. Full of verifiable facts and maps, instead of stories. Please visit my website and purchase my book. A retweet would help me very much!

Hello! I run two little online shops: - one for WW2 anoraks, selling mugs and stickers with tank insignia on them: uktankmarkings.redbubble.com - one for LGBTQ+ nerdy people, selling mugs and stickers with gaming-themed pride flags on them: growsler.redbubble.com
Nightmare for a friend of mine in London. Please share.
This is an excellent article from Tim. Well worth your time. #WW2 #Normandy44
Tim Lambert@timlambert-pa.bsky.social · 2mo agoIn the opening credits of WWII with Tom Hanks, you may notice the famous photo below. If you ever wondered who the soldier is that's being dragged out of the English Channel, he's from Pennsylvania. It's easily one of the top five stories of my career and earned a National Murrow for writing.
Pride season is coming. If someone could buy some of my mugs that'd be grand. Cheers. www.redbubble.com/people/Grows...

What better way to start the weekend than recording a video looking at why the role of the Regular and Territorial Army have largely been forgotten? #SecondWorldWar #History #WW2 youtu.be/yztlRdOGKGw
