As a postscript to my story about how it took 17 years to reunite the medals of my relative, 200203 A/CSM Ernest William Gillingham, 1/4th Essex, I was delighted to receive a photograph of his grave in Ramleh War Cemetery from @nader_habash this morning. #TwitterAtItsBest @CWGC

#Russia January 1919 “... was a bitterly cold day, and 63 degrees of frost were registered. One’s eyebrows, eyelashes and nostrils froze as soon as one went outside, and it was very painful to breathe.” whiz-bangskrumpsandcoalboxes.co.uk/2019/01/16/13t…
While work is going on around the site at Brook Farm, we thought we’d feature some items from the collection starting with this charming little wooden Officer. It would be nice to know if he was a one-off made by a soldier or if these were commercially made. Do any of you know?

#OTD 1918 'The Xmas festivities have passed off satisfactorily & I think the men had as good a time as circumstances permitted. I got a concert going for the evening, & as we had got some extra rations & a fair amount of beer they did not do so badly' jackpeirs.org/letters

Mark says that the centenary reinforced the idea that it might not be the job of academic historians to come in and tell the public things. Especially when the public are already informed on matters. @GatewaysFWW #EntenteReflect
