I'm interested in World War One, particularly the Battle of the Frontiers, 22 August 1914. Outside of military history I like cycling and rugby @GreatWarGroup

National League should be rebranded to League Three, all teams must be full time with a grass pitch, and 3 up.
Make League One 3 down instead of 4, so League Two is 3 up also and 3 down.
A lot more unified throughout from Champ down.

Our conference is a month away! Multiple talks and seminars to choose from. Antonia Newell will be talking about the incredible Agnes Bennett, a doctor and the first female commissioned officer in the British Army. She eventually ran the Ostrovo Unit in Salonika. Ticket details👇

This afternoon we’ve been on the Band of Brothers trail… -#Wallonia #Belgium @WhyBelgium @SteveMarsdin @IstoriaTravel

Today it’s the Battle of the Bulge and 1944-45. A bad day for Bomber command at Houffalize, but an even worse one for the civilians on the ground 🕯️ #Wallonia #Belgium #WW2 @SteveMarsdin @IstoriaTravel @WhyBelgium

We did make a detour… In honour of the first Frenchman killed on Belgian soil in #WW1. Part of General Sordet’s Magical Mystery Tour, died 111 years ago today. This French cavalry corps ambled round Belgium exhausting men & horses alike for no real gain in the first weeks of war

Lastly today, back to 1940. The solution to the unfinished Maginot Line. Reinforced houses north of Sedan. Imagine being one of the 5 men manning this one when the Panzers arrived.
BOULENGER, COLLETTE, GUILBERT
BELLENOU and LE GLEUT. None survived @IstoriaTravel @SteveMarsdin

This morning we were inside the Maginot Line looking at the effects of 1940 on this corner of Europe… @SteveMarsdin @IstoriaTravel This weekends substack will be a deep dive into La Ferté

This afternoon has been all about 1870 and the effects of the Franco-Prussian War… We’ve been inside an ossuary holding thousands of casualties from around Bazeilles… @SteveMarsdin @IstoriaTravel

And we’ve also seen where French marines made a heroic stand during the disastrous Battle of Sedan… @SteveMarsdin @IstoriaTravel
