A vivid and incredibly moving demonstration of the Day the Guns Fell Silent on the Western Front. #ArmisticeDay
#OnThisDay November 11, 1918 WWI Ends. Listen to this recording made available by the Imperial War Museum of when all the guns of World War I fell silent. #SoundOn #VeteransDay
The @NLWales has wonderful collection from David Jones' career. @hurricaneally researched this for @ww1lit with help from Jones' friend Colin Hughes. Here is Michael Sheen reading the boast of Dai Greatcoat from In Parenthesis youtu.be/s_u98ZLptv8 #ww1 #poetry #Cymru #Somme

102 years ago today Pte Humby, 36th Bn AIF was in front of a Field General Court Martial on account of his reluctance to get up. His response to being asked to move is one of the finest things I’ve read of the war.
Tweeted before but it’s SO good it deserves another outing. #WW1

Challenge students to create poems after they consider examples of poetry and art by #WW1 soldiers in this lesson plan featuring primary and secondary sources from @philamuseum, @poetryfound, @vfwmag, @RWTnow, @ww1lit, and @librarycongress: nhd.org/sites/default/files/…. #WWI
Wonder if there will be anything about Studdert Kennedy the vicar of St Paul's, #Worcester who as a chaplain on the #WesternFront wrote "rough poetry" & became known affectionately by the Tommies as "Woodbine WIllie".
Some training yesterday & all the volunteers led by @war_fallen are prepared - they just need you to come along to the @WW1Centenary #WW1 and #familyhistory collection day on Friday 15 March 10:00-14:30 at St Helen's Church, High Street, #Worcester WR12HN.
