Honoured to accompany PM Sanae Takaichi to Westminster Abbey for laying wreath to the tomb of the unknown warrior.

Cracking few hours at the Dig for Victory event on North Somerset showground today. Lovely to meet up with some of the @WeHaveWaysPod Bristol IC for premium quality war waffle! ... and support at my talk on the Wheezers & Dodgers of HMS Birnbeck (1941-45) @njg330 @WessexWorld

Spotted this rather striking #FWW memorial in St Mary’s Church, Ross-on-Wye today.

I'm looking forward to talking about the Department of Miscellaneous Weapons Development (DMWD) and HMS Birnbeck tomorrow - at the North Somerset DIG FOR VICTORY SHOW. 14:45 in the Home Front tent if you would like to to come along.

Have you heard of the Military Intelligence Museum? It’s moving to one of Britain’s best-kept secrets: the London Tunnels. Built to protect us during the Blitz and hidden for nearly 70 years - these mile-long tunnels are about to open to the public! I’m proud to be an ambassador for this exciting project!

Hoping that all those taking part in Love your Burial Ground Week, Churches Count on Nature and National Cemeteries Week can have a quick look at any #WarMemorials they come across. Our churchyards bring together so many facets of life and death. caringforgodsacre.org.uk/lov…

Our major new Brookwood 1914-1918 memorial has been inaugurated by our President, HRH The Princess Royal, marking a significant moment in the continuing evolution of First World War commemoration more than a century after the Armistice. Located at Brookwood Military Cemetery in Surrey, the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom, the new memorial commemorates 400 First World War service personnel from the UK and Ireland whose graves were never formally found. 👉 Discover more on our website. #Brookwood @theroyalfamily

An honour today, to represent the @WarMemorials Trust at the inauguration ceremony of the new @CWGC Brookwood 1914-1918 Memorial. A place to remember the #FWW service personnel who died in the UK and Ireland and who have no known grave.

Windsor Castle provided the setting for a historic ceremony, in which His Majesty the King presented the Royal Marines with new Colours.

Looking forward to talking about the ‘Wheezers and Dodgers’ of HMS #Birnbeck at the Dig for Victory Show on the North Somerset showground this coming weekend. I shall be in the Home Front Marquee at 14:45 on Saturday @KYPNorthSom

The third (and final) battlefield marker at Castleton Church #Sherborne. Laurence Rowe Fisher-Rowe was the commanding officer of the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards when he was wounded on 12 March 1915 during the Battle of Neuve Chapelle. He died at a CCS in Estaires the next day.

Remembering my grandfathers commanding officer in No.1 Army Commando, Lt.Col Tom Trevor, who was a Combined Operations Liaison Officer with the Rangers at Pointe du Hoc on #DDay. He was wounded by a sniper at the bottom of the cliff, but still made the climb. #Respect 🫡

On this, the anniversary of D-Day 6 June 1944, remembering the 700 American service personnel billeted in Clevedon and who would head out to Normandy once the first waves of infantry had secured the beaches. “Give us some gum, chum!”. Full story here: walkingthebattlefields.com/2…

Remembering the heroes who began the liberation of France on this day, 6 June 1944. Photo taken at Hermanville @CWGC on 6 June 2010. #DDay #Overlord #Normandy #WW2

The second ( of three) battlefield markers at The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Castleton #Sherborne. This one is for Captain Harold Talbot Vizard R.F.A. KiA 1 Sept 1918. Recipient of the M.C. and two bars, MiD five times. Remembered on his mother’s gravestone also.
