I really wish people from 2007 would stop stealing my great new research ideas.

In WW1, 1.5 million Indian soldiers joined the British #army.
80,000 of those that died were #Sikhs
They were some of the bravest men who fought for freedom.
They bravely fought and gave their lives so pricks like @LozzaFox can have freedom.
🙏🏻 Waheguru 🙏🏻

Rewriting my introduction for the third time and am now solidly convinced I haven't a clue what I've spent the last seven years of my life studying.

Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Geneva, 27 July 1929?
Completed it mate.

My never-ending table of references to different activities in camp seemed like a great idea, until right now when I actually have to try and make graphs out of it.
Thoughts and prayers please.

Can I add the Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War (1929) to my Goodreads? It's pretty much all I've read in weeks.

Me: This chapter shouldn't take me too long, it's just a general background on what I've been researching for seven years.
Also me: *spends 20 minutes googling "opposite of Roman numerals" to find out what numbers are called*

I'll always remember being sat on a train in 2010 and chatting with a librarian who had just been informed her service and many others in the area would be closing.
People need libraries, they're filled with knowledge, and library staff do far more than anyone really knows.

Britain has closed almost 800 libraries since 2010, figures show
Annual survey shows sharp cuts to local authority funding have led to the loss of 17% of branches, alongside sharp staff and funding shortfalls

Having a really hard time finding historical records about Flight Officer J F Kennedy.
Apparently some other bloke had the same name... who knew?

Words can't describe how much I've grown to hate this poem, it's in a fair few of the diaries and liberally uses "gee". But here's the layout from Resto's diary.
His log's amazing and well worth a skeet!
