We will be focusing on these 6 key themes:
🔸 Community and relationships
🔸 Employment, education and skills
🔸 Finance and debt
🔸 Health and wellbeing
🔸 Making a home in civilian society
🔸 Veterans and the law 3/3
...we are really keen to get as many female veterans together to chat about any challenges faced during Service, transition and integration back into civilian life. We are also equally as keen to hear about any positive experiences during these times. 2/3
We are delighted to share details on our next event: 'Meet the Editors'! A range of editors from leading defence journals will be there to answer your burning questions on submitting a journal article. Register using the QR code below.

Today’s FREE article is up and it’s an online exhibition of Italian #WW1 art

Paolo Del Giudice was chosen from almost 70 abstract artists to create a centenary exhibition in 2018.

I absolutely fell in love with his work, and he’s been kind enough to let me share some of it with you…
FREE EXHIBITION: The First World War in Italian Art
In late 2023 I was taking an Istoria tour group through northern Italy on our First World War ‘After Caporetto’ tour when we made a stop at one of the best museums in the region in Vittorio Veneto.

After five years of supporting each other from different continents, Samuel Oyewole and I finally got to meet in person today at the @rafmuseum.bsky.social

Close Air Support includes Sam's chapter on the Nigerian experience of CAS and it was lovely to be able to give him his copy in person

Huge thanks to the Women's Inclusive Network DE&S for inviting me to speak as part of their #IWD programme! 👏

My talk 'Making Defence Work for Women' focused on topics like the importance of exploring policy versus practice & empathy as a moral & operational imperative 📣
