I'll be with @TejpalRalmill & @record_this at @HampCourtPal on Saturday talking about the #PunjabRegisters and what they tell us about Punjab's role in the First World. Join us & learn how you can help the @CWGC identify forgotten Punjabi casualties. tinyurl.com/punjabregisters
Research by @UniofGreenwich PhD students, @G_AWilliams & @JasminAthwal & in collaboration with @UKPHA, suggests there are thousands of Punjabi casualties missing from the @CWGC casualty database. Join us on Saturday to help find them.
Hi @EvansCycles. I bought @Lezyne Zecto Max from you in Nov 2023. It stopped working in Nov 2024. 2 of your customer service agents have told me you won't replace it - despite @Lezyne providing a 2-year warranty on all UK purchases, via @UpgradeBikes. Why such poor service?

Hello @UPS! Is it possible to speak to a human being about a parcel which you keep promising to deliver, but never actually do…? None of your systems seem to work!
Congratulations to @flughafen_wien, which has today dethroned Stansted for coveted Shittest Airport award. Absolute shambles.
Applications for the @CWGC Scholarship close on 2 April 2024.
If you're interested in applying, I'll be online today from 1200-1300 for a Q&A about the #PunjabRegisters, the scholarship and what we're looking for... Join me on Teams from c. 1200: msteams.link/0AEC.

If you want to explore the #PunjabRegisters yourself, look at the samples available on: punjabww1.com. 9/10.
If you want a bit more from me about why this history matters now, head over to the @SocHistoryWar blog: show.org.uk/post/decolonisin…. 10/10.
These projects will help us to understand the crucial role of colonial soldiers in the world wars and the effects of colonial service on those who enlisted - as well as why these histories have been neglected and misunderstood. 7/10.
