Today I received a copy of 'Captive Audience' courtesy of @scarletboy44.bsky.social - thanks Paul! It looks excellent & I can't wait to read it. It tells the story of the captivity of Lt. John Dixon (East Riding Yeomanry) & particularly his theatrical endeavours behind the wire #Forrard
Tonight I am remembering The Few in a very special place.
A true friend, a hero to me, and a guiding light through life. My Dad. Edward John Johnson 1925 - 2000. Always in my heart. Happy Father’s Day.

Thinking tonight of Flight Lieutenant Percy Cyril Morgan DFM, of Letchworth, Hertfordshire, who took off into the night air on 5 June 1944 in support of the D-Day operation and never returned. Remember Him. #DDay #WW2 #hertfordshire
Happy heavenly Mother’s Day mum. A guiding light who is in my heart always

Today we remember the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. An act that would formally bring the United States into the Second World War, and set the Allied nations on a long and bloody path to victory.

Beginning 2025 Remembrance Weekend with a visit to @UkNatArchives for some digging into SOE, SAS and MI5 intrigue during WW2 which touched the upper echelons of British high society. #WW2 #SOE #SAS #Militarycrime New book coming soon.😁
Military Murder, SAS & SOE intrigue and post-WW2 Arms Smuggling @UkNatArchives this morning!! Can’t wait. #WW2 #Militarycrime
Today may seem ordinary but, for me, it is unforgettable. It has been 25 years since I last saw this man. A soldier, a friend, a true gentleman and a real hero. A man I will never forget and am proud to call My Dad. #dads
Rant of the day! WHY, when a man was killed in action (an officer in this case) can take “up to a year” to get a copy of their service records??? Australia/Canada all available online in colour at the click of a button!! FFS. #MOD
Who Dares Wins. Really excited to have been signed up by @Frontline_Books for a new publication on the life of a WW2 SAS officer. A bit top secret at the moment but all will soon be revealed. #WW2 #SAS #Militarycrime #Battledresscrime
Buried in Washington State, USA. MURDERED in Hertfordshire, England. Private Conrad “Chief” Pascal, a Native American Indian, died at the hands of a comrade on 3 August 1943 while building the Nuthampstead airfield. His killer received a life sentence, but never served it in full. #Militarycrime

Nijmegan bank robbery? And there was me thinking "Kelly's Heroes" was fictional!! Part of a document dealing with Discipline in 21 Army Group. Makes interesting reading. (WO 229/4). It appears that some of these crimes were actually carried out by Dutch civilians. Worthy of a bit more research.
Busy week. New book released www.amberley-books.com/battlefield-... Appeared on WW2TV m.youtube.com/watch?v=ecFF... Time for a celebration! Massive Thank You to @amberleybooks and @WW2TV for the opportunity. Big hugs for the family treat. #WW2 #WW1 #Militarycrime #Family
