Chaotic evil way to say it

This distresses me so much

Switch it and I’ll explain to them how shortly after they go over the top in the last episode they advance under a creeping bombardment, Captain Darling suppresses the German bunker with a Lewis Gun while Baldrick flanks and sticks a grenade through the vision slit

I’m assuming the Valentine isn’t included as it’s somewhere off the top of the list?

I hold it as a source of pride that the first time I am setting foot in the sports hall after five years of studying at Brunel is on graduation day

Happy hunting!

Back at the TNA!

Different angle this week to keep things interesting

My two archive highlights for the day….

Couldn’t believe it!

So much easier when it’s all digitised! I managed to pick several research areas that sit precisely in the gaps between digitised collections… but for this project I’m looking forward to being able to pull on some of the digitised WO stuff

TNA time!

See you in there!

It was my entry point into TNA on my first two big research projects at BA and MA and I’ve become too accustomed to the stability of WO

I was thinking about this the other day and I’d want Band of Brothers but a regular US infantry company

Thanks Spencer!

This week I have been writing both my SWWRG paper, and a best man speech and I’m absolutely thrilled at the possibility of mixing them up

If someone could make an AI that categorises, lists, and organises all my archival photos instead of me spending three working days on it, instead of making bad, plagiarised pictures then I’d be most grateful

What a great valley for a single corps exploitation… it would be a shame… if someone… were to insist on adding a second corps 👀👀👀
